The righteous feminists are out, ya’ll, and they are outraged over the U.S. Supreme Court’s failure to stay the Texas heartbeat law.
It's past midnight now in Texas. The Heartbeat Law has gone into effect. Every child with a detectable heartbeat is legally protected from being killed by abortion.
Thinking of all the inestimably precious lives that will be spared today & their new lease on life
An amazing day
— Lila Rose (@LilaGraceRose) September 1, 2021
Live Action founder and president Lila Rose received a ton of scorn for this tweet. In fact, the day has been full of the abortion advocates whining, moaning, weeping, and gnashing their teeth. The hackneyed memes from The Handmaid’s Tale have been in abundance, as well as some really bad takes.
Like this beauty:
Dear EVERY IDIOT who thinks we are upset about the #AbortionBan in Texas because we can’t wait to kill our babies…It’s NOT about that! It’s about having the right to choose what’s best for our bodies & for our health! #AbortionIsHealthcare pic.twitter.com/lqNP2zeYLD

Now change the subject from “abortion” to “COVID-19” or “Delta-variant”, and see how quickly this argument changes. I bet you dollars to donuts that this person would turn into the vaccine and mask Karen quicker than you can say, “Pfizer”.
It’s not the same! You’re infecting people and they might die!!!
They probably will not, especially since we know that early treatment is essential in surviving COVID-19. But when you abort a baby, that baby for sure dies. No treatment or HCQ-cocktail to save that life.
My Body, My Choice has been the Democrat Left’s rallying cry for years; the only exception is when it comes to the COVID vaccines and masks.
Make it make sense.
Then there is this one, who purports to be a doctor and the mother of a daughter. Both facts are equally disquieting.
I spent last night thinking of medical work arounds for this horrific law, until it is rectified in the courts.
So, this is what I would tell my daughter or her friends if they were in Texas.
[I know this isn't enough, but as a mom, and doctor, I am sharing my thoughts].

Oh, Dr. Dara, do share! We’ve been waiting with bated breath.
Get on Birth Control
Now.
Any form that is reliable.
Oral Contraceptives, Nuva Ring, Norplant, IUD.
Something.
Now.

Shouldn’t this be standard operating procedure if you’re having sex on the regular… or have I missed something being married this long?
Use condoms.
With the birth control.
Every single time.
No exceptions.
[This is good practice for STI protection anyway]
— Dara Kass, MD (@darakass) September 1, 2021
Does this sound vaguely familiar? The vaccines are effective, but you still need a mask. Take birth control, to prevent pregnancy, but wear a condom just in case. As our Editor-at-Large Kira Davis wisely named her podcast: Just Listen To Yourself!
Dr. Dara goes on to encourage medical abortion, which apparently, has now moved online; just like pornographers and human traffickers.
Understand how to seek a medical abortion.
There are ways to safely seek care privately even if you need to leave the state to do it.

From the USA Today article:
Over the past year, new virtual clinics have begun delivering medication abortion entirely remotely. Last July, a federal court suspended a Food and Drug Administration rule that requires patients to obtain the first drug in a medication abortion at a health care facility during the pandemic.That drug, mifepristone, is the only one of 20,000 FDA-regulated medications that requires in-person dispensation but can be taken at home.
The ruling created an opening for virtual clinics like Choix, Hey Jane and Just the Pill to offer “no touch” services for people less than 10 weeks pregnant. Patients complete a medical history form online, consult with a clinician over video or telephone, and if eligible, receive two medications from a mail-order pharmacy.
The same people railing about Ivermectin being a “horse drug”, and who slammed Trump for touting Hydroxychloroquine (and now it’s A-OK), have no problem with abortion drugs being prescribed and used without a doctor’s supervision.
The hypocrisy is stunning.
But this horrific take by singer/songwriter Stella Parton, should be framed and hung next to her Grammy awards.
Wait, does she have any?
Parton compares women’s progress in America to women’s progress in Afghanistan.
It’s as bad as you think.
Don’t you find it odd that women in America are being treated worse than women in Afghanistan? We wasted 2trillion dollars plus to go into Afghanistan to liberate their women and children? Something ain’t right here folks. Are you catching on yet?
— Stella Parton (@StellaParton) September 2, 2021
Yeah, we’re catching it all right, and it stinks like the horse hockey it is. When was the last time you were stoned in the street for not wearing a head covering? Or raped consistently by the Taliban? Forced into an arranged marriage? How about being shot for wanting an education or enjoying music? Yeah, Stella, the Taliban would just love to get an audience with you!
Parton was rightly called on this not only stunning, but poorly timed, disconnect:
Women had more jobs in the workforce pre-pandemic, women make up 55% of undergrads and 60% of grad students, and the wage gap is shrinking. There's still lots of progress to make, but don't compare it to a country that limits women access to basic things like education and credit
— Inland Northwest (@inlandnwest) September 2, 2021
Instead of modulating (do these feminist even know what that means?), Parton doubled down, claiming that all the people calling her out are male, and that she is proudly blocking them.
I also find it odd that not one of the people I just blocked had one thing to say in defense of women right here at home and our damn rights. Not one. They were all males btw.
— Stella Parton (@StellaParton) September 2, 2021
Another male tried to use common sense to challenge her on the fallacy of her argument.
Because your comment wasn't discussing those things.
Your comment was making a fallacious, horrible, and incorrect comparison.
Women in the US do not get treated worse than the Taliban treat women.
Also, if you think abortion is about women's rights, and excludes men, well…
— Gerald (I cook awesomely) Playle II (@TheJerrbear1) September 2, 2021
Parton probably blocked him too.
This chippy with the handle, “Science matters”, brought up the tired and overused comparisons to The Handmaid’s Tale. It’s amazing how bad takes and bad television series seem to go hand-in-hand.
Honestly, this is Gilead!!!! The West is slowly inching its way to right wing extremism which is no different to the Taliban or any other oppressive regime the west think they're safe from. This is a war on all women. pic.twitter.com/IiMbwNYZov

I need to change my title to “LOGIC MATTERS”, because this last one is just pure stupid.
It’s time to go after a man’s right to take viagra! It’s time to stop allowing men to get help for ED. It’s way past time to allow women the right to choose what’s best for her body! #AbortionIsHealthcare #RoeVWade pic.twitter.com/xEfTgegY1W

If SCOTUS rules in favor of Mississippi in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, we’ll get even worse takes than this, and probably women in Handmaid’s Tale costumes trying to tear apart the doors to the Supreme Court ala the Kavanaugh hearings.
