rbreich , 2 months ago to Random Trump said he wouldn’t stop states from prosecuting people who violate draconian abortion bans. He even said he wouldn’t intervene if states monitor pregnancies to determine compliance — a horrific violation of privacy. None of this is about "life." It's about control.
