If your state gets a Republican governor get ready for pregnancy ankle bracelet and fetal monitor.
Woah. Trump tells @TIME he would let red states monitor womens pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.
This is the future were looking at if hes elected in November.

(36,613 posts)This is one good thing to come from the internet & social media, anyway. There are others, too, but I love that new ways of looking at the current power structure is so much easier to communicate & spread to others. Like the bear in the woods conversation & how it's only been 50 years since financial institutions were required to give women credit on their own if they qualified.

Don't report pregnancy to anyone. If necessary, use an underground lay midwife (many of them are very knowledgeable and skilled).
If a pregnancy police state emerges, women will have to adapt in order not to take part, even though it would make pregnancy and childbirth much more risky.

And now here we are.

(860 posts)does the state pay for medical treatments if they don't have an abotrtion?
Or good, healthful food and medical until delivery?
And physician visits and medical if necessary for ANY other condition since they can't get out?

(111,529 posts)There are home pregnancy tests now, no woman needs a doctor to tell her she's pregnant.
The only women they'll want to tie down are the ones in the second or third trimester with life threatening conditions.
And that is appalling.
If they wnnted to murder me with Christian patriarchy, no ankle bracelet would stop me. I would be out of that state forever.
I've done it for less.

(6,632 posts)... force if you believe someone is threatening your life.
How can women with life-threatening pregnancies NOT legitimately feel like their life is being threatened by Rethuglican legislators? How is that different from any other "Stand Your Ground" situation?
Irish_Dem
(48,670 posts)And the laws are used to punish and control women and other groups deemed subhuman.
The idea that women and other groups have equal rights and equal protection under the law
is a now a quaint fantasy.
