The data exposes a brutal reality: systemic violence against women and infants under the guise of morality. Texas saw a 23% spike in infant deaths from congenital anomalies post-ban—direct consequence of forcing nonviable pregnancies to term. This isn’t an oversight; it’s calculated cruelty, weaponizing suffering to satisfy ideological purity.

Systemic racism thrives here—Black infants die at 11% higher rates, a predictable outcome when policy deliberately targets marginalized bodies. The anti-choice movement’s gleeful dismissal of these deaths as “saving lives” reveals their true ethos: control over compassion, power over science.

Behind the propaganda, they’re erasing data, criminalizing providers, and installing quacks like Dr. Oz to dismantle healthcare. It’s not incompetence—it’s a coordinated assault on bodily autonomy, leveraging state machinery to punish the vulnerable.

Dystopian doesn’t begin to cover it. When bullets have more rights than uteruses, you’re witnessing democracy’s corpse.

Remember, morality based on ethics is just ethics. Morality, being arbitrary and often deliberately harmful, is therefore inherently unethical.

So now that they got their abortion bans, they're now going to shift their efforts towards protecting born children with the same amount of energy, right?

...right?

No, they don't want the children to develop properly to make sure they vote republican.
