18. and shoving their stupid religion down our throats
Fri Oct 4, 2024, 10:00 PM
Oct 4

this is a big subject with me and my girlfriends, if the law can control our bodies and, as some municipalities are doing, control our speech and movement, this goes so far beyond just banning abortion. This is trying to control our thoughts, and forcing us to accept THEIR idea of what our roles are in the world (babymakers).

If they can indeed legislate our speech (and therefore our minds), and control movement, they can literally strip away anyone's rights for anything.

also, i talk too much
