Trump Camp Says State Menstrual Surveillance Programs are A-OK
It’s not enough for many anti-abortion stalwarts to ban the procedure in their state. They want to ban legal drugs designed to induce abortion. They want to surveil and block women traveling to other states to obtain an abortion. One of the most threatening dimensions of these programs is that they threaten to make doctors and other medical professionals — who might give counsel on or simply know about a woman’s plans to obtain an abortion — responsible for reporting her actions. If you visit your OB-GYN and discuss traveling to another state to get an abortion, does your OB have to report you to the local sheriff? It applies to third parties who might assist a woman either in traveling to get an abortion or getting FDA-approved medications to induce an abortion at home. The cases we’ve already seen range the gamut from sheriff’s departments wanting to pull medical and travel records for evidence of pregnancies that ended for unexplained reasons, gaps in menstruation, trips out of state that coincided with a pregnancy not brought to term.
All this from the self proclaimed protector of women.
Imagine raising your daughter in a country where her period is tracked by the government and then she gets shot in school by a gun that isn’t allowed to be tracked by the government. And it’s all because you voted for a reality gameshow host because Russian propaganda agents on your TV told you Haitian drag queens were eating dogs and performing transgender surgery on your kids at school.
2024 America.
On the one hand, asking people to wear a mask to avoid spreading a deadly disease around is just the worst form of trying to control people, on the other requiring women to report their menstrual cycles so the government can decide if you're hiding a pregnancy is just good policy.
Party of "small government" folks.
Democracy or Gilead: Those are our options.
Vote for democracy. Vote blue
Trump pal approves of 'states that want to set up full menstrual surveillance departments'
During a Wednesday Newsmax interview, the conservative interviewer asked, "[Trump] wouldn't support monitoring pregnancies even if a state decided to do that?"
Miller replied, "Well, he's made it very clear that he's not gonna go and weigh in and try to push various states in how they want to go and set up their particular rules and restrictions. That's gonna be up to the states."
Conservative and Bulwark founder Charlie Sykes replied: "Oh!"
Talking Points Memo founder John Marshall commented: "Trump kingpin Jason Miller gives the thumbs up to states that want to set up full menstrual surveillance departments"
They also want to end no fault divorce. It’s always been about controlling women and minorities.
