Democrats are defending Roe v. Wade as the foundation of women’s rights, but their bill to codify Roe into law lacks the word “woman,” and only mentions the word “women” in the title.
The move to codify Roe began as an attempt to fulfill a campaign promise by President Joe Biden, who said that he would urge Congress to pass a law to make abortion legal nationwide in the event that a conservative Supreme Court struck down the controversial 1973 precedent that granted a “right” to abortion.
That pledge has become more urgent since last week, when a majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito striking down Roe in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case was leaked to the media, triggering alarm among Democrats.
But the 2021 bill to codify Roe, the Women’s Health Protection Act, did far more than that. It also included radical provisions on gender, including the proclamation that biological women who identify as transgender men can also become pregnant:
The terms “woman” and “women” are used in this bill to reflect the identity of the majority of people targeted and affected by restrictions on abortion services, and to address squarely the targeted restrictions on abortion, which are rooted in misogyny. However, access to abortion services is critical to the health of every person capable of becoming pregnant. This Act is intended to protect all people with the capacity for pregnancy—cisgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals, those who identify with a different gender, and others—who are unjustly harmed by restrictions on abortion services.

‘cuz they don’t know what one is.
Just in case a man gets a womb transplant and has an embryo artificially inseminated. Then decides to have an abortion.
Birthing persons
We need bills that disqualify proponents of abortion from voting and/or holding public office. Their ideals are diametrically opposed to the Constitution in principle. They cannot uphold their oath of office and advocate for innocent bloodshed at the same time.
Maybe, but the bill can be argued in court, by a good lawyer, to not apply to human females unless described in the law!
What a bunch of freaks.
Nothing would surprise me these days.
Insane mental midgets are running the asylum.
The Republican position should be that it is to be legislated at state level.
It should
Only one gender decides to have abortions.
One attempt to transplant a womb ended in patient death. I think there’s plan to try again somewhere. Not something I want to pay for
What a nuthouse.
And yet millions of useful idiot women will continue to vote for democrats.
