Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft has proposed asking voters whether they are in favor of allowing “dangerous and unregulated abortions until live birth.”
What a dumbass.

The problem is that they don’t want abortions to be safe, rare, and legal. They want abortions to be non-existent. If women need to go to back alleys where some guy with a hanger will perform a dangerous abortion on them, then “that’s their punishment for having sex.”
They ignore that some women get abortions after being raped - when they literally had no choice in sex occuring. (Or, they blame the woman for the rape ala “she shouldn’t have been drinking and shouldn’t have worn that dress, it’s all her fault.”) They also ignore that some women WANT to have the baby, but things go wrong during the pregnancy and the choices are either abortion or carry a dead/dying fetus inside them until they both die.
The details don’t matter. All that matters is that they control women’s lives (and likely deaths).
