What Would an Evangelical Christian Country Be Like? Not like France:
French Senate votes to enshrine abortion rights in constitution
“I am committed to making women’s freedom to have an abortion irreversible by enshrining it in the constitution,” Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X, celebrating the Senate vote.
The bid for constitutionalization became a priority for the French government following the overturning by the United States Supreme Court of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, though the cause has been championed for several years by left-wing lawmakers and women’s rights activists.
Currently, abortion rights in France are protected by a 1975 law which has been amended on numerous occasions, most recently in 2022, to lengthen the time frame for legal abortions from 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy. Like all laws, however, it could be revoked by a vote in the French parliament.
The move has overwhelming support from the French public, according to polling, but has faced criticism from right-wing lawmakers. Backers of the bill say constitutionalization would safeguard abortion rights even if an anti-abortion majority were to be voted into office.
France’s decision to constitutionalize abortion comes amid roll-backs on reproductive rights around the world, which have seen right-wing governments in Europe crack down on abortion access. In Eastern Europe, both Hungary and Poland have introduced restrictions on abortion, measures that were frequently mentioned by France’s own lawmakers during a debate in the National Assembly in January.

This is something I came to believe is necessary ten years ago. Criminalization of abortion has been an issue for a small and virulent group in the US for almost 40 years. They won't stop if we are able to roll back their movement (again) and will just try again later. We need to end their movement with an equal rights amendment that includes some form of "my body my choice".

Sounds like a drunken post-barbecue rant I heard once from Daddy Frank…cats killing babies by sucking their air, microwave ovens giving folks radiation sickness…artificial wombs, tho, that’s newIts gonna be a best seller.
The story takes place about 25 years from now, after some faulty mRNA SV40 tainted technology ends up sterilizing 75% of the population... Tech advances (actually its already there, despite the ethical concerns) to the point that the artificial wombs are portable, and can be strapped around someones waist, just like they are actually pregnant. Even men, on a limited experimental basis.. Some can't afford the upgraded neuralink implant + auxiliary system to be jacked into the fetus, and so they have to directly patch into your belly button with tubes and wires to complete the remaining connections, which uses some of your own organs to filter the fluids and whatnot. Only cost half as much, but comes with a few side effects of course.. You also have to change the smaller waste reservoir daily, and keep up on the PH, etc. Some higher class citizens however can afford to use the fully auto stand alone womb units, and instead just pay rent to keep the fetus alive in a warehouse until its ready.. They also make a quick connect system, so you can still drop the sack off at a day care type center, but then pick it back up and plug in again after work, which is another slightly cheaper option.
Anyway, so a guy and his wife decide to conceive an ecto designer baby, but she makes more money.. and so he agrees to get the belly interface installed, and get paid extra to be one of the test subjects.. I don't wanna spoil the rest, but long story short: They get divorced because the extra hormones that were now running through his body make him cry and appear weak all the time, and she no longer loves him anymore. She also ends up getting pregnant for real by her boss at work, while he's at home growing their kid, and so they are both pregnant sitting in the court room during the hearings. He forks the award money over to a top notch lawyer, and wins custody of the fetus because its proven that he is now in the best interest of the unborn child, thanks to the direct interface. It technically becomes his body, his choice, even though it was her egg that was fertilized.. She really doesn't like that for some reason.
Then, after another seres of unfortunate events.. he heads down to planned partenthood, and has them cut the sack and abort the fetus. The end?
Good luck w/ it!

Project Veritas! (emphasis mine)
en.m.wikipedia.org
Project Veritas is an American far-right[14]activist[15] group founded by James O'Keefein 2010.[19] The group produces deceptively edited videos[13] of its undercover operations,[5] which use secret recordings[5]in an effort to discredit mainstream mediaorganizations and progressive groups.[20][21]Project Veritas also uses entrapment[12] to generate bad publicity for its targets,[2] and has propagated disinformation[23] and conspiracy theories[31] in its videos and operations.
Project Veritas's targets include Planned Parenthood, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), NPR, CNN, and The Washington Post. In 2009, Project Veritas associates published misleading[2] videos that depicted ACORN employees providing advice on concealing illegal activity, causing ACORN to shut down after losing funding;[3] the Attorney General of California cleared ACORN of wrongdoing in 2010,[2] and the associates paid a total of $150,000 in settlements to an ACORN employee who sued for defamation.[2] NPR CEO Vivian Schiller resigned in 2013 after Project Veritas released a deceptively[2][3]edited video portraying another NPR executive making controversial comments about the Tea Party movement and NPR's federal funding.[32] Project Veritas unsuccessfully attempted to mislead The Washington Post into publishing false information about the Roy Moore sexual misconduct allegations in 2017;[33][20] the Post won a Pulitzer Prize after uncovering the operation.[7][34] In 2022, a jury awarded $120,000 against Project Veritas for fraudulent misrepresentation of the nonprofit Democracy Partners.[35]
As a non-governmental organization, Project Veritas is financed by conservative fund Donors Trust[2] (which provided over $6.6 million from 2011 to 2019)[20][36][37]and other supporters, including the Donald J. Trump Foundation.[38] In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing Project Veritas's use of spies recruited by Erik Prince to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda". The Timespiece notes O'Keefe's and Prince's close links to the Trump administration, and details contributions such as a $1 million transfer of funds from an undisclosed source to support their work. The findings were based in part on discovery documents in a case brought by the American Federation of Teachers, Michigan, which had been infiltrated by Project Veritas.[39]
The organization's board fired O'Keefe in February 2023 for what it said was financial malfeasance with donor money.[40] In September 2023, Project Veritas suspended all operations after laying off most of its employees.[41] In December of the same year, Hannah Giles, who succeeded O'Keefe as CEO of the organization, resigned.
It only gets better from there.

Really going to suck for the women in Missouri if they do drive them out. Might even stop women from putting out.

In Missouri, he won’t need her permission, it’s the rape exception: if the husband does it, it *CAN’T* be rape (say all the small-dicked ‘small-government’ nobodies who’d pass a law like that)

Erin Hawley again. This is being driven by the Seven Mountains cabal. Who else would breathe fresh life into an obsolete bit of legislation built around the words “lewd, lascivious, obscene?” And how on Earth is contraception placed in that category, unless the sinful nature of consenting adults having sex is the core premise? This goes here.
Fears grow over Comstock Act, Justices Thomas, Alito

No offense to any religious types here, but I've been waiting for the 1st mountain of influence to topple for decades. Religious and Spiritual influence come from within a different place than any pastors, priests, or, for a more current term, religious influences, would have you believe.

“Not raking it in and jogging up escalators? You plainly lack faith, loser!”

This church is part of the Word of Faith movement, a reissue of the Calvinist blasphemy that one’s health and wealth are there to be claimed from God by asking for it.
