Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans -- but they don't want you to know about it.

Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence.

After the Supreme Court ended federal abortion rights in 2022, there was a robust debate between pro- and anti-choice activists over whether or not banning abortion would kill women. Pro-choicers pointed to evidence, from both history and other countries, showing that abortion bans kill women. Anti-choice activists dismissed the record and pointed to toothless "exceptions" in abortion ban laws as "proof" that women could get abortions to save their lives.

The latter argument was frustrating not just because it was wrong but was generally offered in bad faith. Anti-abortion leaders know that abortion bans kill women. They don't care. Or worse, many view dying from pregnancy as a good thing. In some cases, it's viewed as just punishment for "sinful" behavior. Other times, it's romanticized as a noble sacrifice on the altar of maternal duty. But conservatives are aware that this death fetish cuts against their "pro-life" brand. So there was a lot of empty denials and hand-waving about the inevitable — and expected — outcome of women dying.

1. They Force their religion on others

With an assist from the Supreme Criminals then try to cover up the results of the failed experiment. Meanwhile they are hard at whatever the fuck they’ll do next to whittle away at freedom and democracy. It’s like choosing your own firing squad, one gun at a time.
