    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.

        The correct response in that situation is to go to the gyno’s office and accuse him of misogyny, and to do so with a volume and aggressiveness sufficient to get yourself kicked off the premises. You weren’t planning to see him ever again, and you can make it clear that a man (whose opinion he respects) actually gives a shit about his wife’s independence.

      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.

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

        I’m gonna conflate guns and abortion.

        An abortion removes an unwanted parasite (a fetus) from your reproductive system, protecting you from disease and sexual violation.

        A gun removes an unwanted parasite (a billionaire) from your economic system, protecting you from disease and labour exploitation.

        Okay I’ve conflated them. Call me a liberal now.

    They’d never suggest a black woman own a gun.
    In fact, the only reason we have the [few] gun laws we have today is because the Black Panthers started buying them in the late 60s to exercise their second amendment rights.

      “Your honour, legal precedent establishes that that embryo is a person under the law. And rape laws permit me as self defence to remove another person from my reproductive system by whatever force is necessary. If the embryo couldn’t survive being removed from my uterus then it, a living autonomous being, shouldn’t have chosen to rape me in the first place.”

        This is the sort of logic that might work against a hyper-intelligent AI judge. Unfortunately in the real world, judges are people with ideology who bring that ideology to work with them.

          However, judges are required to judge the law as written, not as they wish it to be. I’m sure this argument would work against any judge who is decent at their job.

    So an abortion pill is a no no, put if I quickly become a police officer, then shout “stop resisting” and shoot myself through the belly, then I should be fine, no?

    This image is misrepresenting the situation. The pharmacist would absolutely provide the abortion pill to a woman of colour without a second thought.

      The same general group of people are pushing court cases to overturn the approval of the abortion pill and to bust gun control wide open. See constitutional carry (total misnomer).
