This kind of misrepresents the argument anti-choice people use so while it's kinda funny, it's like...hollow. The anti-choice people are shitheads but not because they think Plan B is dangerous

You also can't just go into a store and walk out with a gun without the government saying okay with the background check.

Of course, you don't have to justify why you need the gun to get one, but a doctor (especially in some places in the US) will certainly require justification. And in some places a man's permission (although maybe not explicitly, but way less likely to do so unless a man is present at the appointment I wish I were joking) .

Legit my wifes' gyno wouldn't sign off on her getting a hysterectomy without me saying I'm okay with it.

She found a new gyno. Fuck that guy.

You can very easily get a gun without a background check. Used guns are often sold without a background check.

You can get a fuckin shotgun from Walmart in 15 minutes in ohio

NICS checks are instant so... Yeah.

Its safety is not the crux of the argument from the anti-choice, but it is the flimsy legal excuse they're using to try to revoke its FDA approval.

I get so frustrated at jokes based on a factually incorrect foundation. It's also a reason why conservative comedians aren't funny. You were able to explain much better than I could without sounding like you're complaining cuz you're offended.

Yeah it's like... When their actual stances are bad enough, there's no need to change our embellish

It's also conflating guns and abortion, which is some real liberal shit.

One is vital Healthcare and the other is used to destroy. Idk what you're talking about they are totally the same thing.

They'd never suggest a black woman own a gun.
In fact, the only reason we have the [few] gun laws we have today is because the Black Panthers started buying them in the late 60s to exercise their second amendment rights.

from the same people who think the brain drain of their state is a good thing and not foreshadowing …

Foetuses are people, so they can only be aborted in an electric chair.

So an abortion pill is a no no, put if I quickly become a police officer, then shout "stop resisting" and shoot myself through the belly, then I should be fine, no?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yes! Automatic immunity plus early retirement package!

Has someone castle doctrine'd an unwanted pregnancy yet?

Guns are for post-birth abortions.

This image is misrepresenting the situation. The pharmacist would absolutely provide the abortion pill to a woman of colour without a second thought.

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

The same general group of people are pushing court cases to overturn the approval of the abortion pill and to bust gun control wide open. See constitutional carry (total misnomer).
