That's why I googled it as a Harris voter. I've read the high level talking points, listened to the podcasts calling out the big bads - but it's like 900 pages. I was hoping for a pdf that would give me some roadmap of the utter shit storm heading my way.

Yeah my wife and I were hoping to start IVF next year and now I have to actually know the specifics of what republicans think of my wife's bodily autonomy 🤢🤮

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 7 points 4 days ago

First off, having been through IVF (unsuccessfully unfortunately) I wish you and your wife the best. I've found people who haven't gone through it tend to minimize the process and it can feel isolating and frustrating. If you want someone to chat about it - dm me on Mastodon (@pezhore@infosec.exchange).

Secondly, I wouldn't look as much at the bodily autonomy but more at the "life begins at inception" / fetal personhood stuff. That's the stuff that significantly impacts IVF and how non-viable eggs/zygotes are handled. Of course bodily autonomy is important for if the process works but complications occur after implantation.

Same. Did you find any good resources? I got sidetracked and depressed.
