So. Not my state, but I’m pretty certain that that might run foul of the US Constitution. Even with the current Supreme Court.

I'm sorry maam you appear to be a little big around the waist, please present papers or stand in that line over there to be tested.

Just like in Nazi Germany, and pregnant women instead of Jews. Are pregnant women required to wear some signs, too?

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Could work!

Woah, now what about the rights of ~~men~~ actual people

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago

House Bill 807, nicknamed the “Save MO Babies Act,” was proposed by Republican state Rep. Phil Amato.

The bill summary states that, if passed, Missouri would create a registry of every expecting mother in the state “who is at risk for seeking an abortion” starting July 1, 2026. The list would be created through the Maternal and Child Services division of the Department of Social Services, but the measure did not specify how the “at risk” would be identified.

The same dickheads who want a registery of pregnant women would screech about tyranny if there was a registery of gun owners.

Their only animating principle is "I get to tell 'inferior people' what to do."

What in the actual fuck is happening in America? Jesus Christ what a shit show America has become.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 39 points 2 days ago

Christo fascism under the veil of patriotism. Pretty much what was expected to happen...

I picked late summer. They've exceeded my expectations. Sad..

Well that's pretty much expected from that shit ass state I left behind.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 64 points 2 days ago

Wow, not even a month and they are making lists.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Before you get panicky, proposed. Anyone can propose anything, and state lawmakers are a whole other kind of crazy.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That someone even proposes such a shit should ring all alarm bells.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago

The fact that someone in power even has this desire is fucking troubling.

It's like saying we shouldn't worry about a pedophile at a playground because they're only proposing to rape the children.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

True, and crazy proposals like this in the US happened all the time for decades already.

Having said that, the amount of bat shit crazy theology proposals has been going through the roof these past few weeks

It'sll literally been weeks, it feels like decades already

Now if they only counted as 3/5 of a person, then the real outrage would start.
