/4 Trump’s Definitions of “Male” & “Female” Are Nonsense Science w. Staggering Ramifications
motherjones.com/politics/2025/

*sex starting “at conception” = language of “fetal personhood"
* fav. pseudo-theory of anti-abortion movement
* maintains embryo is person w. full legal rights
* used in efforts to
end access to IVF
prosecute people who have miscarriages w. manslaughter
ban certain forms of birth control

Mother JonesTrump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology and then legislate about it?"

South Carolina GOP Senators have put forth a fetal personhood bill that would make it possible to charge women who get abortions with homicide.

In a State that has the death penalty.

It’s not very “pro life” to introduce a bill that lets government kill the mother.

Please - oppose these draconian bills. Fetal personhood has repercussions that most people don’t even consider.

This isn’t “just” about abortion. It’s about gaining total control over women. We must fight back.

Ted Cruz's “#FetalPersonhood” measures could outlaw not just #IVF, but access to #BirthControl. He is too extreme for #Texas.

#TX can trust #ColinAllred to make #RoeVWade the law of the land.

Well, I am canceling my #DetroitNews subscription today after they endorsed #Republican #MikeRogers for #Senate instead of #Democrat #ElissaSlotkin.

Rogers has consistently voted for #AbortionBans & co-sponsored 4 bills that could restrict or effectively ban #IVF.

He believes in #FetalPersonhood laws & supports a #NationalAbortionBan which a Republican majority in the Senate could enact.

#fetalpersonhood is a policy plank in this #election folks.
Their policies have lead to…the highest # of pregnancy-related criminalizations in US history…

“At least 210 🚺 faced criminal charges related to #pregnancy abortion, preg loss, or birth in the yr after #scotus ended the fed rt to #abortion “ - #PregnancyJustice.

“In most of the cases - 121 of 210 -- the info later used against the 🚺 was obtained or disclosed in a medical setting….”1/2 ⬇️

If you’re a woman, love a woman, or are the parent of a daughter, then you need to understand how Project 2025 will remove rights and autonomy for you/her.

As more people learn about Project 2025, their opposition to it grows. Learn about it here.

#RepublicanParty #platform ahead of natl convention does not call for federal ban on abortion, but supports states establishing #fetalpersonhood through #Constitution’s #14thAmendment which grants equal protection under the law to all American citizens. If established by legislation #fetalpersonhood would have practical effect of prohibiting abortion at all stages of pregnancy. Its impact could become national if courts affirm state-level laws that extend application of #14thAmendment #fetuses.

Now #NYTimes looks like a #RightWing tabloid that it is.

This annotation is interesting:

>> #GOP platform embraces #FetalPersonhood… and wildly misrepresents current economy & record decrease in crime

Population numbers would balloon if we double-counted pregnant women and skew statistics in different directions

Considering #ZygotesInCrime would dramatically decrease already decreasing crime rate, but including #UnemployedZygotes would dramatically increase unemployment rates
