    The shame was really hiding how commonplace miscarriages were. These sometimes need to be fixed with abortion services. It’s pretty common healthcare that people have latched onto for odd political reasons

      Because the entire goal of the GOP is to use culture war nonsense to keep the uneducated fighting against their best interests while the rich steal everything that isn’t bolted down. Every single time the GOP controls Congress they pass laws cutting taxes on the rich and hamstringing federal enforcement of existing laws, while screaming about the boogeyman de jure because as long as their base thinks the Democrats want to mutilate their child’s genitals before sacrificing them in order to drink their blood, they won’t notice it’s GOP policies that are making things more dangerous and more expensive.

        Thank you for saying this. I’d add on that it’s the super-rich, the billionaires of the world, who want this, and in America it’s just easier for them to buy out the GOP to do their bidding. I’d also add that it’s not just to keep people fighting against their best interests but to also keep us fighting amongst ourselves on petty issues rather than focusing on the larger picture.

      I can understand that some people don’t want to discuss private health matters. And those folks who have been trying to conceive but have trouble–talking about the yet-another-miscarriage has to be incredibly wrenching and hard.

      But those stories are crucial to hear right now, I’m afraid. I think the mainstream Republican isn’t even aware that this went on.

      A lot of people didn’t even consider those as abortions before. Now they have to face the reality they’ve brought in, that abortion doesn’t mean taking a newborn and tossing them into a wood chipper. It’s a ton of medical treatments, and people tried to compromise for years by allowing carve outs for all but the most elective of abortions.
