This kind of misrepresents the argument anti-choice people use so while it's kinda funny, it's like...hollow. The anti-choice people are shitheads but not because they think Plan B is dangerous

You also can't just go into a store and walk out with a gun without the government saying okay with the background check.

Of course, you don't have to justify why you need the gun to get one, but a doctor (especially in some places in the US) will certainly require justification. And in some places a man's permission (although maybe not explicitly, but way less likely to do so unless a man is present at the appointment I wish I were joking) .

Legit my wifes' gyno wouldn't sign off on her getting a hysterectomy without me saying I'm okay with it.

She found a new gyno. Fuck that guy.

You can very easily get a gun without a background check. Used guns are often sold without a background check.

Its safety is not the crux of the argument from the anti-choice, but it is the flimsy legal excuse they're using to try to revoke its FDA approval.

I get so frustrated at jokes based on a factually incorrect foundation. It's also a reason why conservative comedians aren't funny. You were able to explain much better than I could without sounding like you're complaining cuz you're offended.

Yeah it's like... When their actual stances are bad enough, there's no need to change our embellish

It's also conflating guns and abortion, which is some real liberal shit.

One is vital Healthcare and the other is used to destroy. Idk what you're talking about they are totally the same thing.
