Wait until they go after women who have medically necessary hysterectomies.
They already go after women, literally with legal persecution, for getting medically necessary abortions. Women dying for their control is absolutely acceptable in their eyes. I'm also convinced the reaction to this would be the same if her hysterectomy had been medically necessary.
Do you remember when trolls like this lurked in reddit DMs and on 4chan? You can outright openly say the most heinous things now and it has literally no consequences for you.
Medically necessary?
You mean those who we should just let die, lest they undergo something that would prevent them from becoming a baby machine? /s
Menopause is a liberal hoax by the Democrats.

These assholes have already made comments like a woman is defined as a person who can get pregnant. Which eliminates millions of cis women from the equation.
About 10% of women (or one in ten) experience a horrorshow called endometriosis that causes them non-stop abdominal pain.
Often the only way to really "solve" it is a hysterectomy.
They're literally just going to abuse a large number of women for something they never asked for.

I've actually heard some transphobes say that hysterectomies should be banned because the uterus is a vital organ that women need to survive
Terrifying.
Man, the "freedom" crowd really hates it when people exercise their freedoms...
Freedom for me not for thee
condemned by right-wing social media accounts
Ugh.
I wish a meteor would hit Twitter’s HQ and main data center, right now, and I don’t understand why people are so addicted to such a gruesome site.
I found it spammy and annoying enough to never post, years ago, even with some of my niche communities largely there.
Surely you'd also like the meteor to fragment and take out the white house and the shower of bastards inside it.

I like how "'libs of tiktok' posted a thing" is just immediately made into a story now.
What's America's obsession with womans reproductive system?
Big party of white supremacy is changing the demographics of the country to remain white, it's actually the only reason the US is still a white majority country, if they didn't genocide natives, ethnically clense Chinese Immigrants, and repeatedly try and ethnically clense the west for Hispanic peoples.
They know white birth rates are not at replacement levels, that's why they are doing everything they can to force white women into a position of being baby factories with no rights to oppose or pervent pregnancy, is no wonder they are also floating making interracial marriage illegal again, this is all happening to one goal, get white birthrates to replacement levels at all costs.

The outrage machine is in full gear, fueled by manufactured morality. A lawmaker makes a personal health decision, and the reactionaries lose their collective minds. Threats over surgery? Unhinged. These are the same people who scream about “freedom” while weaponizing it against anyone who doesn’t conform to their theocratic fever dreams.
Pohutsky’s honesty is a mirror. It reflects the fear women face in a country where access to contraception and autonomy is under siege. That she tied her decision to Trump’s election? Poetic. It’s not just about her body—it’s about everybody under the shadow of regressive policies.
Keep speaking, Laurie. Their threats are the last refuge of those losing control over a future they can’t stop.
“I don’t fully grasp the level of animosity that people have about this,” Pohutsky said.
Yeah, neither do a lot of people. Its this weird fucking obsession that the idiots of this country have latched on to.
Pohutsky told large crowd gathered in Lansing at the state Capitol Wednesday that she chose last month to have a bilateral salpingectomy to remove her fallopian tubes. While abortion is constitutionally protected in Michigan and state lawmakers have bolstered contraceptive access, she said the decision was prompted by doubts that the Trump administration will not target access.
I do find this to be a little odd, kind of drastic. But, it's her body. What people choose to do, under the guidance and care of an ethical, reputable medical professional, is their business. I certainly don't understand getting so upset about it, especially not to the point where you would harass her for it. Even if you strongly disagree with her decision, just shake your head, shrug your shoulders and move on.
People should be allowed to have diverse beliefs, and should be allowed to act on them ... as long as it does NOT adversely affect another person's life or safety.
Right-wing fucknuts forget that last part.
"Your body, my choice" is attempted murder and should be treated as such.
I do find this to be a little odd, kind of drastic.
I might do the same if i could be forced to carry a rapist's baby, especially with contraceptives on the p2025 chopping block.

It's not drastic! Look outside. Having kids in this world is outright cruel. Even within the wealthiest countries on earth, only a small sub section of the population can actually have children without bringing them into pure hell. Im an educator working in a poor to "middle class" area and even the more well off families are skipping meals, choosing to stop having children, choosing to forgo medical care, and making decisions that only you hear citizens in 3rd world countries make. If you have a kid today it's fucked.
