Next on the Christian nationalism agenda: Abortion pills and homicide charges

Getting rid of Roe v. Wade isn't the end of the Christian nationalist foaming at the mouth jihad against controlling women or sex generally. This is the beginning. The New York Times writes:

Abortion Pills Stand to Become the Next Battleground in a Post-Roe America

Medication abortion allows patients to terminate early pregnancies at home. Some states are moving to limit it, while others are working to expand access.

Medication abortion — a two-drug combination that can be taken at home or in any location and is authorized for use in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy — has become more and more prevalent and now accounts for more than half of recent abortions in the United States. If the federal guarantee of abortion rights disappears, medication abortion would likely become an even more sought-after method for terminating a pregnancy — and the focus of battles between states that ban abortion and those that continue to allow it.

“Given that most abortions are early and medication abortion is harder to trace and already kind of becoming the majority or preferred method, it’s going to be a big deal,” Mary Ziegler, a legal scholar who has written widely on abortion, said. “It’s going to generate a lot of forthcoming legal conflicts because it’s just going to be a way that state borders are going to become less relevant.”

About half the states are expected to quickly make all methods of abortion illegal if the justices’ decision in a Mississippi case resembles a draft opinion leaked this week that would nullify the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion. In Louisiana, a legislative committee this week advanced a bill that would allow homicide charges to be brought against people who get abortions or perform them.  

Medication abortion is less expensive and less invasive than surgical abortions. In December, the Food and Drug Administration made access to it significantly easier by lifting the requirement that patients obtain the first of the two pills, mifepristone, by visiting an authorized clinic or doctor in person. Now, patients can have a consultation with a physician via video or phone or by filling out online forms, and then receive the pills by mail.

I have been warning as hard as I can that this was part of what is coming from America’s neo-fascist Republican Party. The extremist radical Christian nationalist movement and the laissez-faire capitalist, anti-government, anti-environment powers that control the GOP are planning a vast social re-engineering of American society around core extremist goals. 

Theocratic Christian nationalist goals include, but are not limited to: 

1. getting rid of all secular public education and replacing it with fundamentalist Christian schools at taxpayer expense, 
2. giving White Christian heterosexual males the legal power to openly and brutally discriminate against non-Whites, women, racial and ethnic minorities, the LGBQT community and non-Christians, and 
3. completely obliterating what little vitality is left in the concept of separation of church from state, giving them, among some other awful things, full control of tax revenues in Service to God and the Christian nationalist theocratic agenda. 

I repeat the warning: 

Theocratic neo-fascism is coming to America  

unless Republicans are voted out of office.
