A Tennessee Republican hopes to establish an “abortion trafficking” felony for adults who help pregnant minors get an out-of-state abortion without parental permission, an effort reproductive health advocates argue will run afoul of constitutional rights such as interstate travel.
Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, filed House Bill 1895 on Monday. The legislation would establish a new Class C felony, which could carry three to 15 years in prison, for an adult that “recruits, harbors or transports” a pregnant minor for the purposes of receiving an out-of-state abortion or for getting abortion medication.
They shouldn’t give him the time of day because he’s WRONG, not because he’s a Nazi. … I know that’s a difficult sentence to parse because Nazis are wrong on basically everything, but it is VERY important.
But we’re saying he’s wrong because of his character and his character may inherently lead to some beliefs that are… incompatible with a sane society.
The point is, Nazis are bad because they logically and imperically think really fucking stupid things and want to do really bad things.
It should not EVER matter what label someone attaches to themselves. It should only matter if what they want is backed by evidence and reality and ideally some compassion and grace. That simply is not true of Nazis. They’re bad because they’re stupid monsters who are wrong. It shouldn’t matter if they all start calling themselves activists or take over the Libertarian label. Their ideas and desires are wrong.
