WATCH: Actor Dean Cain Speaks Out On The Georgia Heartbeat Bill
As we mentioned yesterday. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the “heartbeat bill” into law.
The left, of course, is losing their mind. The bill prohibits abortion after a heartbeat is detected. This usually happens at about the six-week mark.
The Socialist Sweetheart has something to say:
“6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period.
Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant.
So this is a backdoor ban. https://t.co/xWd9GAj51b

First of all, it’s pretty gross for her to discard a BABY as simply a late period:
This is “two weeks late on your period.” Two weeks late has arms & legs forming, fingers & toes, & a heartbeat! pic.twitter.com/5tN7JYxf19

Also, her math isn’t really biologically accurate. Women don’t usually ovulate on the first day of their cycle, they ovulate about midway through it. So we’re looking at something a lot closer to 4 weeks late. That’s a MONTH to figure it out. But whatever. That’s not really the point.
As Red State points out, there’s a whole heaping pile of issues here.
For one, there’s a number of false assumptions being made:
-It’s only/primarily men writing the bills;
-Those piggy men only know about sexual gratification, not reproduction;
-Most women don’t know how their own bodies work and have NO IDEA they’re pregnant before 6 weeks.
Red State goes ahead and sets FIRE to those assumptions:
First: Only/primarily men are writing the bills. Took me about 5 seconds to look up the sponsors of Georgia’s HB 481:
Ed Setzler (man)
Jodi Lott (woman)
Darlene Taylor (woman)
Josh Bonner (man)
Ginny Ehrhart (woman)
Micah Gravely (man)
OH MAH GAWD. Are you trying to tell me that WOMEN might possibly care about saving lives as opposed to the “right” to murder babies at will?!
YOU DON’T SAY!
Second: The men involved know nothing about women’s bodies other than how they provide sexual gratification. That’s right, you heard Alexandria: Men are ignorant pigs! That includes you, Ed Setzler, and you, Josh Bonner, and you, Micah Gravely. You know nothing about women, their bodies, the reproductive process. (And don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ no babies!)
Just out of curiosity, I spent 5 more seconds and clicked on their profiles:
Representative Ed Setzler [spouse – Tracie] is a businessman, veteran, and father of four who has served northwest Cobb County in the Georgia House of Representatives since 2005.
Representative Josh Bonner and his wife Michelle have four children and are members of New Hope Baptist Church, where Josh serves as a deacon and youth leader.
Representative Micah Gravely resides in Douglasville, South Paulding County, with his devoted wife Heather, their three beautiful daughters Hope Elizabeth, Bella Faith, and Abigail Jane, and dogs Reagan and Lucy.
WOW! They’re all married with children! They must know SOMETHING about how babies are made…right?
Now, I’ll freely admit that such status does not necessarily equate to knowledge regarding women’s bodies and their reproductive functioning, but I’m willing to go out on a limb here and surmise that they have at least a basic understanding of menstrual cycles and pregnancy. And lest one assume the three women co-sponsors have no such understanding, they all have children, as well. And Rep. Lott is an RN.
Isn’t it a little sexist to assume these men have no idea how their babies were made, Alex?
Third: Most women have no idea they’re pregnant before 6 weeks. Funny. That’s not been my own experience, nor that of most of the mothers I know. I do get that contraceptive methods can fail. But outside of those instances, you generally know when you’ve had unprotected sex, and you generally know when your period’s gone AWOL. Unless you’re in denial.
I do find it interesting that the underlying premise of Ocasio-Cortez’s reproductive snark is that women don’t legislate and/or don’t support pro-life measures and/or don’t understand how their own bodies work. Talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations.
But isn’t that just the Democrat MO?
Democrats can’t fathom that “people of color” are capable of getting voter IDs, and that women might know how their own bodies work.
It’s like they just ASSUME voters are all idiots.
Let’s keep proving them wrong.
