The concept of this quantity even being known is saddening and disturbing. This should be private information and not even shared through abstraction. The slippery slope of potential ex post facto revenge (and let’s not fool ourselves, revenge is the proper term for what might happen if this data is ever acted upon) is very real. And for anyone on the right who thinks this is overreaction, remember that you have expressed the same concerns regarding registries of your 2A rights. And both arguments are valid. There should not be tracking on politically sensitive topics like this. This divisive culture of politics is corroding our country.

I am pretty sure that anyone who is advocating to not vote Biden because of his support of Israel is either:

A - A GOP troll and shouldn't be trusted in general B - Someone who feels like they're protected because they currently live in a blue state and so a lack of access will never affect them/their loved ones.

I'm a lady in Texas (not birthing age anymore @ 35 bitchessssss!) but shit is not good here for women who are birthing age/able to carry a child.

If Trump (or any Republican) is elected, the blue states won't be safe anymore either. The people suffering will be YOUR sisters, wives, mothers, cousins, aunts, etc. There won't be crossing state lines for care, even if you could technically "afford it".

Focus on protecting half the country first. Prioritize your shit. No one is going to be a 100% perfect candidate.

And before anyone comes for me, yes, I fucking hate Netanyahu and think he needs to be stopped. However, I'm also focusing on myself (and other women in America) first. Downvote me if you want, but I don't want the abortion ban to be felt anywhere else than it has been already!

Edit: Grammar

Next step for republicans: permanent checkpoints at red state borders. "Are your papers in order? What's in the trunk? What's in the suitcase?..."

Next step for the mentally-lazy, smug bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe types: passively let it happen, fondle their purity, distractedly yet lovingly sniff their fingers, early and often.
