Women protest Iowa abortion law inside Senate: 'We're not your breeders'
Kim Reynolds, Iowa's Republican governor, praised the state legislature for voting "to protect life and end abortion at a heartbeat."

Women who have kids are breeders, and women are designed to breed children. What's the mental illness here?
The "mental illness" is that pregnancy is dangerous. Quite literally life threatening. Quite literally can do permanent damage to everything from your teeth to your heart, to giving you diabetes. Children are entire people, they are not pets that you casually collect. They are people who should be brought into our world with care, with desire, with love, with planning. This country has horrible access to medical care, shits expensive AF, who's paying for that? All of those things should be taken on willingly. Not via failed birth control in a country that refuses to educate our young people on safe sex.
The "mental illness" is that no one, not a born child, not a fetus, has the right to my body parts without my on-going consent. As soon as I withdraw my consent it is over. Whether that's a life saving blood draw for my sick, already born child or continuing to incubate a fetus. I have the right to withdraw my consent to the use of my body. A fetus does not have more rights to my body than I do. It's mine.
If wanting to have the right to control what happens to my personal body is "mental illness" then I happily claim it. You're free to give up your body for someone else if you'd like. But you cannot have mine without my on-going consent.
I'm aware that I'm feeding the troll, and I'm not interested in your answer. My reply isn't for you. It's for anyone still on the fence about this issue. To me it's quite simple: No one has the right to my body but me. Even if that will kill the other person. That's settled law for every other circumstance besides pregnant women, who apparently lose their rights to their own body if a fetus attaches.
It's in your comment. Back to reddit
I suggest you watch The Handmaids Tale for reference.
Judging from your comments, you seem to be lacking most of a brain. I'll count that.
What happens when a woman does not want to be pregnant/have children and gets raped? Condom breaks? Takes birth control + condom but still gets pregnant? Not every woman wants to have children. Nobody should be forced to carry against their will.
I understand what you are trying to do, and we’re probably of the same mindset. However, in my experience, there is no point reasoning with someone who is purposefully try to stir shit up.
Spending air time trying to convince OP that there are valid abortion scenarios takes away from women who simply do not want to carry a child. There should be no external justification needed: their body, their choice.

Woman here. Never had kids, never wanted any, and will never want any. So get fucked.
Women who have kids are mothers and nobody was designed for anything. You're welcome to join reality whenever you feel ready.
troll or not this is actually fucked up
