And, of course, all babies are Tuberville’s babies. Of course they are. Your babies are the babies of the extreme religious right, so much that they will risk US security to make sure that, no matter what, any woman who has an egg that has been fertilized by a sperm will bring Tuberville’s baby into the world or suffer severe consequences, possibly including death.
Does this sound extreme to you? I hope it does. It IS extreme, but it’s actually happening in the United States right now even as Russia’s in chaos and Mexico is suffering insufferable heat.
Heather Cox Richardson explains it clearly:
When the federal government arranged to pay for transportation out of antiabortion states for service members needing reproductive health care, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) put a blanket hold on all military appointments—250 so far—until that policy is rescinded. For the first time in its history, the Marine Corps will not have a confirmed commandant after July 10. In the next few months, five members of the joint chiefs of staff, including General Mark Milley, its chair, are required by law to leave their positions. Tuberville says he will not back down.
You know what happens when a country’s military lacks competent leadership? Look at Russia. Tuberville is willing for us to be as big a failure as Russia because he wants no limits on rapists’ inalienable right to seed and populate America, not to mention their right to carry military grade weapons in the streets or wherever, and he doesn’t care who dies in the process.
Does this sound extreme to you? Don’t ask me. Ask Tuberville to explain why it’s not.
