Summary

A North Carolina woman went viral on TikTok after allegedly receiving an email from Republican state Sen. Danny Britt’s assistant, Camille McDougald, suggesting she “move to China” when she raised concerns about the state’s abortion policy.

The woman, who carries a rare genetic condition affecting fetal viability, expressed fears about expanding her family under current restrictions.

The email, seen as dismissive and unprofessional, sparked backlash online.

Critics argue North Carolina’s abortion laws, which limit care beyond specific circumstances, force patients to seek out-of-state treatment.

Neither Britt nor McDougald has responded to the controversy.

    I still feel heart broken for this woman either way, but I would also love to know if she just voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party.

    I also wish we could take all these “tough guys” that want to control women and give them some kind of meds that makes them both super horny and permanently impotent (even with Viagra) and watch them just lose their shit.

    Strictly speaking, China has gone from encouraging Chinese to have as many children early on, when IIRC Mao felt that population density encouraged industrialization, then to restrictive birth policy under One Child for a long time, and then back to trying to get people to have kids in the mid-2010s as demographic concerns rose.

    It’s more that China is state-interventionist than that it has consistently favored few or many children.

    I’d argue that banning abortion is probably state interventionist, more in line with the consistent thread of overall Chinese policy over the years.

      This made me think about this issue in a new way, thanks for the good comment.

    Why doesn’t he move to China?

    He could have just said something generic like, “thanks for your comment” or not responded at all. But he decided to behave like a brat.

      These assholes have been empowered to speak their mind, unfortunately.

    Is this the opposite of ‘SLAMS’?

      Because people vote ghouls like this into office so he doesn’t have to. They do it repeatedly.
