Children as young as 13 are ‘trapped’ in a state with no access to abortion, lawyers and advocates say
Donald Trump’s administration is concentrating all pregnant children being held in federal immigration enforcement custody into one group shelter in south Texas, a state where abortion is outlawed with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest.
Since last summer, more than a dozen pregnant minors, some as young as 13 years old, have been moved to a facility in San Benito along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a joint investigation by The Texas Newsroom and The California Newsroom, citing sources within the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Department of Health and Human Services.
The agency is responsible for children who entered the United States without a parent or legal guardian or who were separated from their families by immigration authorities.
So what do we do to unfuckulate the US after this is all over?
Short of a massive governmental and police purge, and a flat goverment-wide ban on people holding office and literally bulldozing these facilities into the ground, or simply torching these facilities so they can’t be used to harm again… What do the Americans do?
They’re a pariah state and it deeply upsets me that my nations leaders are still kowtowing to their interests.
Relentlessly pursue justice for the Trump-Epstein class. At a minimum all those implicated in the files need to be investigated, and we should jail anyone found of any wrongdoing associated with Epstein or the ongoing coverup.
As establishment Repugs and Dems have already admitted, this would decimate the current power structure and we would need to replace the majority of our elected officials as a result. This would be the perfect opportunity to institute a national standard of ranked choice voting, and abolish the electoral college, so that FPTP is a thing of the past and we can move beyond the 2 party uniparty rule.
There will be much more to do of course, but I think this would be a fantastic start.
After the Civil War we simply let the old slave masters go. We let them keep their other properties and wealth, and they came roaring back with the Klan. It took several more generations and the Civil Rights movement to dislodge them from power, a few faced trial, but the vast majority were never publicly unmasked. They just took off their hoods, put on suits, and went back to work in Congress.
USAmericans have defeated them before, but it never sticks. They keep coming back because we keep letting them get away with it.
This ain’t a situation where things can be viewed as good, safe or appropriate for those being held against their will.
See, if they got abortions, they’d just get pregnant again when the guards rape them.
The miracle of forced birth. It’s a win for the bodily autocracy crowd.
Concentration camps weren’t enough.
Breeding farms.
