for screen reader users... Calvin "change my mind" meme; top text "Texas & Arizona pass laws prioritizing dead cells over fully alive mothers, Oklahoma outlaws HPV which 90% of people will contract"; bottom text "GOP = Gaslighting Ourselves for Profit. Change my mind"
I thought this meant HPV vaccinations so I googled it. Nope. They said up said it’s illegal to “be recklessly responsible for” the spread of HPV. Like WTAF?!
keep in mind there is no such thing as an HPV test for AMABs (it doesn't exist), so how do they expect to enforce it for anyone but women/AFABs? hard to deny that they are being targeted here
and what's the legal definition of "recklessly" in this context? who knows, leave it up to corrupt judges to decide...
It means being a slut. They can’t actually outlaw being a slut, so they outlaw something that applies to virtually everyone having sex and then selectively apply the law.
🛎️🛎️ there it is! That’s the plan exactly. Equate the law with one’s arbitrary whims.
So Oklahoma is going to prosecute people who have plantar warts and use public showers?
Yeah, "recklessly spreading." A bunch of y'allqueda are about to be dragnetted. Maybe we'll hear of some working girl to fine charges against a politician patron?
... How does one 'outlaw' a virus?
they ~~outlawed~~ are trying & succeeding to make illegal (already passed the state legislature) the "intentional or reckless" spread of the virus without defining what "reckless" means
But spreading COVID is fine.
Can you share any articles? My searches are coming up empty
I'm sure that will go just swell....
You've been GOP'd (Gaslit Over Preventable Diseases)
lmao
Arizona didn't pass a law lol
not recently, the law was passed 160 years ago and this month the state supreme court has now decided to enact it... is there any meaningful difference or do you just like to hear yourself talk?
Sorry, didn't [just] pass a law. The grammar in the picture says "passes" which implies recently.
For the record the Arizona Republicans had their ultra conservative supreme court revive a law from 1864 specifically because they could not get a new one past the Democratic Governor. Now the state AG has made it clear they will not enforce the law and there's a referendum on the November ballot that's highly likely to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
