How long before they start putting up roadblocks to find running women?

They're working on portable womb scanning technology as we speak.

You mean Idaho?

already happening

at state borders walls of police jacked up on personal belief line up the interstate on both sides looking for prey such as on the main artery interstate crossings like the i40 in Tennessee

with terry stops the officers do not need probable cause and the arresting officer's ideology of protecting the unborn is the only reason needed to stomp on those rights and throw their belongings in the mud

after that the citizen winds up with trumped up charges in some bubba spitting redneck jailcell with a judge on the cops side during the kangaroo court session and even if they are released will be on parole in the system tagged and marked

but at least the judge and cops will make home for dinner

MURICA BY GOD!

"Womb 25A79N, you have been caught attempting to flee The Godly State of Iowa. Since you no longer care what God has given you, your God given rights have been striped. You will now birth Womb 89A77H in a Womb Holding Cell."

What a fucken world we are barreling towards.

What you're describing is called FREEDOM! Being able to Drive from State to State WITHOUT being thrown in Jail because of your Gender is called CHYNESE SOCIALISM (but I think I like China now because Trump said he does?)!

What in FUCK are you talking about

I can personally guarantee there are no lines of police on both sides of the I-40 crossing looking for pregnant women

That’s not how a Terry stop works

Whose belongings got thrown in the mud and why didn’t they talk to the news, the news loves stories like that

Who the fuck got out on parole? For what charge? Driving while driving? Past a wall of police jacked up on personal belief?

There is plenty that is concerning both in policing and in abortion laws but you are making up literal gibberish

Thats 4 weeks after having sex, 2 weeks after pregnancy tests start to work.

[–] resin85@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Also leaving zero time for screening of chromosomal defects. What a horrible place to try to start a family.

[–] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah isn't is defined as since your last period? so subtract another week at least

[–] BuddyTheBeefalo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yes, since your last period started, but fertilization usually happens around two weeks later.

[–] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 1 month ago

Ah yes sorry that was what you were saying :)

[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The sign on the right goes hard.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It's OK Iowaians, just a mere 7 hrs drive and you can have all of the legal weed, abortions, and gambling you want in lovely Illinois! Shouldn't have to be an option honestly, but these are the times we live in.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 month ago

I wonder if this will push the state towards Harris in the election

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Fuckin idiots. Iowa get your shit together.
