    This kind of misrepresents the argument anti-choice people use so while it’s kinda funny, it’s like…hollow. The anti-choice people are shitheads but not because they think Plan B is dangerous

      You also can’t just go into a store and walk out with a gun without the government saying okay with the background check.

      Of course, you don’t have to justify why you need the gun to get one, but a doctor (especially in some places in the US) will certainly require justification. And in some places a man’s permission (although maybe not explicitly, but way less likely to do so unless a man is present at the appointment I wish I were joking) .

      Legit my wifes’ gyno wouldn’t sign off on her getting a hysterectomy without me saying I’m okay with it.

      She found a new gyno. Fuck that guy.

        You can very easily get a gun without a background check. Used guns are often sold without a background check.

      Its safety is not the crux of the argument from the anti-choice, but it is the flimsy legal excuse they’re using to try to revoke its FDA approval.

      I get so frustrated at jokes based on a factually incorrect foundation. It’s also a reason why conservative comedians aren’t funny. You were able to explain much better than I could without sounding like you’re complaining cuz you’re offended.

      It’s also conflating guns and abortion, which is some real liberal shit.

        One is vital Healthcare and the other is used to destroy. Idk what you’re talking about they are totally the same thing.

          Self defense can also be vital to one’s survival same as healthcare. As unfortunate as it is some people in our society like to victimize others for a multitude of reasons, and often with weapons like knives or guns of their own.

          But I think the point of his comment was “they are totally not the same thing,” so while I note your sarcasm I can’t help but think it misses the mark, as it seems like you think he thinks they are in fact similar enough to conflate the two, against his direct words.

    They’d never suggest a black woman own a gun.
    In fact, the only reason we have the [few] gun laws we have today is because the Black Panthers started buying them in the late 60s to exercise their second amendment rights.

    So an abortion pill is a no no, put if I quickly become a police officer, then shout “stop resisting” and shoot myself through the belly, then I should be fine, no?

    This image is misrepresenting the situation. The pharmacist would absolutely provide the abortion pill to a woman of colour without a second thought.

      The same general group of people are pushing court cases to overturn the approval of the abortion pill and to bust gun control wide open. See constitutional carry (total misnomer).
