    So long as they can also set up a semen surveillance department to prosecute men for leaving their jizz between couch cushions and fleshlights.

    What a fucking psycho. Dude looks like he has a freezer full of chopped-up body parts at his house.

    Next they will be tracking every time a girl takes a shit or walks outside. These people are sickening.

      It’s a hop, skip, and a jump away from making them cover up head to toe in public and banning them from driving or being seen outside without a man.

      The extremist terrorists were with us in the house the entire time.

    This article is clickbait garbage. What they said is SO MUCH WORSE, but calling it “Menstrual Surveillance” is fucking stupid. While menstruation and pregnancy are obviously related, they’re not the same thing.

    What they actually said is that they want to have states he able to monitor pregnancies so they can know if a woman becomes pregnant, but then suddenly isn’t anymore, so they can question them for an abortion, either illegally in state or out-of-state. Given they’re also pushing to monitor menstrual cycles alongside pregnancies, it’s full on police state shit that goes even further than what is described.

    Clear. Concise. Factual. That’s all you need. The right already gives you what you need to show how fucked up they are. You don’t have to clickbait. It’s dystopian enough on its own.

      Having lived in the south, nothing about this is remotely surprising.

      100% guarantee most neighborhoods are starting networks that watch local girls to try to monitor if theyre gaining weight and then take a trip, not that they need to be recruited, they’re just idle pedophiles anyway.

      Now they have something to threaten girls with for their silence…

      Genuinely wondering: you say they are “pushing to monitor menstrual cycles alongside pregnancy.” How is that not menstrual surveillance? I haven’t dug into this myself but I’m confused by your comment and trying to understand better.

        They’re pushing for that, but it isn’t what this person was taking about that they quoted. Nowhere in the article does any direct quote say that.

        We know that’s the path they’re going to take by their actions, but they’re extrapolating in an article quoting something else.

    Republicans are all about the nanny state. Tracking periods, banning books, deciding who gets to have what medications/medical treatments (instead of doctors), trying to control what websites publish, etc.

    This is seriously fucking weird. “how often have you had blood exit your genitals this month, you filthy female” is not a question that anyone should be asking, especially the government. These freaks couldn’t even point out anatomical features on a picture of a reproductive system (male or female, but especially female). Like bitch, of you can correctly label and describe the function of all the parts of a woman’s sexual anatomy, them maybe you could have some input on the conversation, but even then you still shouldn’t be making other people’s decisions. Go fund some bridge repairs you vile little troglodites. JFC.

    Miller replied, “Well, he’s made it very clear that he’s not gonna go and weigh in and try to push various states in how they want to go and set up their particular rules and restrictions. That’s gonna be up to the states.”

    Just in case it wasn’t clear, they belive that any level of tyranny is fine as long as it’s state government doing it, not the federal government.

      Only because they are less likely to control the federal government.

      In the past they demanded free states enforce the fugitive slave act, and sent people into free states to kidnap free men into slavery.

    Aren’t these weirdos just ASKING to be sent tons of used hygiene products for their perusal? I’m sure if enough ladies volunteered, that would soon quench their thirst for knowledge about your bodily functions.

    Or…they would totally get off on this. Yeah, it’s probably a fetish.

    I cannot wait for Walz vs. Vance. Vance seems like what these people are, distilled. It’ll be poetic to watch him get torn apart by a teacher

      There’s a great reason they are keeping him from doing real public events, and have instead opted to do these tightly controlled bits. He can’t even do those and come off as relatable anyway, so the debate is going to be pretty wild.

    the old “states’ rights to impose their own laws in other states.” because that worked out so well for them in the 1800s

      How is it ironic? The party was hijacked by the dixiecrats whose single issue was Jim Crow.

      They’re talibangelists, just with a slightly different prophet.

      Trump is their second coming of Jesus, because he tells them exactly what they want to hear, therefore he must be God.
