Missouri Republicans Push To Make It Illegal To Save A Mother's Life Via Abortion

Republicans in the state of Missouri are taking the assault on women's body autonomy to a new level, and a bill currently in Committee would make it ILLEGAL for a woman to have an abortion if her life is in danger from the pregnancy. The legislature is literally valuing one life over another, even if the main life has been established and has others who depend on her. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks about this massively disturbing piece of legislation.

The state of Missouri, well, the Republicans who control the state of Missouri, have decided that a mother's life is in fact worth less than a non-viable fetus. That's how little the state of Missouri Republicans regard women in their state. There's currently a new piece of legislation that is currently sitting in committee in the Missouri state House that would make it a felony for a woman who has an ectopic non-viable pregnancy to get an abortion. Now, in case you are not familiar with what an ectopic pregnancy is, it's when an egg, a fertilized egg implants itself outside of the uterus, typically in the fallopian tubes. The fetus, the developing egg cell cannot develop properly outside of the uterus. So that embryo fetus, you know, however far along it gets and whatever you wanna call it at that point, cannot survive. It will die. It will 100% die because it is not in the uterus.

The woman, the pregnant woman, also stands a very significant risk of dying if it is not removed and Missouri is trying to make that a crime. You can't abort a non-viable fetus even to save the life of the mother. It doesn't matter if she's got other kids at home that depend on her. It doesn't matter if she's a single mom, the only source of income for these kids, the only family they have. It doesn't matter if she's got a spouse, you know, that depends on her. A family that loves her. Nope, none of that matters. You have to die because of these brain dead idiot Republicans running that state of Missouri. Let's not be nice about the anymore. Okay? There's no room for civility when Republicans are trying to pass legislation that tells women, you have to die to protect a fetus that is also going to die because we value your life at zero. That is what they are telling us with this legislation.

Women are worthless in the state of Missouri. You're a vessel for creating babies and if you step outside that line, we get to let you die. And if you don't wanna die, okay, we'll just send you to prison and get you off the streets because you're not doing what we want you to do, which is to lay on your back and create and produce babies whenever, you know, you feel it's time. You step outside of that, we're gonna punish you. We're, we're, we're in the year 2022 folks, you know, the future, right? And these Republicans are taking us back to, to the Puritan days. This is insane. This is an assault on women. Women will die if this becomes law, that is the intent of this. They want women to die. In fact, they ought to name it the you have to die bill. This, I don't even know. I don't even know anymore. This kind of stuff gets harder and harder to talk about and it's becoming more and more common.

This assault on women, the assault on minorities, the assault on the LGBTQ community. I, I mean, how can other people that do this, not talk about these things every day, right? You still got some morons out there trying to claim that there's Biolabs in Ukraine and we gotta worry about that. We are under assault here in this country, you dip. You got people whining that AOC isn't doing Medicare For All yet. Yeah, we need Medicare For All. We also need to not force women to die. Get your priorities straight you morons, but they won't because they're doing it for clicks and likes and that's just who they've become. You know, went so far left, according to them.
