Donald Trump's senior adviser Jason Miller says that under a second Trump presidency, "it's 'going to be up to the states' whether or not they set up regimes to monitor women’s pregnancies so they can prosecute them for getting out of state abortions."During a Wednesday Newsmax interview, the conser...
I was going to disagree with you about fleshlights, but then I realized that's how fucking asinine this whole menstrual monitoring bullshit is and it was a good analogy.
The DHS reported on the extreme right being the biggest domestic terrorist threat ages ago. The right freaked out, as expected, and it was quickly played down.
No, we are infected with lots and lots of xtian nationalist bullshit and an antiquated system that overly represents them. We need a system that allows us to ignore them since they are a minority - and let them bray as much as they like, but utterly powerless to tell anyone else how to live their lives.
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.
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.
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.
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 wonder how they would go about all this. Medical records will have to be divulged to the State so it can track who is pregnant. They'll have to outlaw home pregnancy tests, including buying them through the mail. Otherwise women could privately find out they're pregnant and go out of state for an abortion without the State knowing. They'll also have to monitor phone and email communications for everyone, not just the pregnant person, to make sure any attempt to contact out of state health providers is intercepted. Or maybe they'll just slap an ankle bracelet on pregnant women.
They'll probably also enact laws like the abortion travel ban that Amarillo, TX has on the ballot this November:
The ordinance, first proposed by anti-abortion activists, aims to forbid the use of the city’s roads and highways to seek an abortion out of the state. It would punish anyone aiding a woman seeking the procedure, including by providing funds or transportation, and be enforced through private lawsuits, similar to a 2021 state law that prohibited abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.
But why? This is information that can most certainly be gleaned from just about any data broker. Phone users cannot imagine just how much about their life is being meticulously catalogued and aggregated for ad tech networks.
The Trump team literally just needs to purchase the relevant aggregate data.
If you think I'm just being hyperbolic, btw there is software that can read your heart rate by the changes in red tonalities of your skin on camera, for example.
But why? This is information that can most certainly be gleaned from just about any data broker.
Obtaining the actual information is only part of the goal. The main reason is to create a perception in society that "you'll be found out" which goes toward the goal of removing autonomy of women and turn them back into only 'baby making machines'.
If you want to see how this plays out, we have an example from history, specifically what Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu did in 1967 making abortion and contraception outlawed:
To counter this sharp decline in the birth rate, the Communist Party decided that the country's population should be increased from 20 million to 30 million inhabitants. In October 1966,[1][2] Decree 770 was personally sanctioned by Ceaușescu. Abortion and contraception[citation needed] were declared illegal, except for:
women over 45 (later lowered to 40, then raised again to 45).
women who had already borne four children (later raised to five).
women whose life would be threatened by carrying to term, due to medical complications.
women who were pregnant through rape and/or incest.
Enforcement:
To enforce the decree, society was strictly controlled. Contraceptives were removed from sale and all women were required to be monitored monthly by a gynecologist.[3]: 6 Any detected pregnancies were followed until birth. The secret police kept a close eye on hospital procedures.
I love being an American; I don't like what these so-called Americans - who seemingly have no idea what freedom truly means - are trying to do to my America. These people would be better off in some theocratic state, even if it means they stop talking about Jesus and swap to another Abrahamic religion. Their values are not American values.
Has anyone been able to verify that he actually said this? The story stems from a Twitter post, and Miller apparently did do an interview on Newsmax on that date. But did he really say this? I'm suspicious because only that one source seems to be available.
To think they found a position that is morally reprehensible from every possible angle, under all interpretations, and also involves bodily fluids, that's somehow amazing.
Hey I mean if my state makes a law to hunt down and let's say, disappear, people with the name "Jason Miller" then who's Trump or Jason Miller to do with it?
