32. Hmm, I'm thinking say "birth forcer"

Wed Jun 15, 2022, 02:27 PM

Jun 2022

A woman prevented by force of law from an abortion is a birther (mother) who was forced: a "forced birther".

Boebert wants to prevent abortions by law (not by social engineering because that would mean actually helping people).

Boebert wants to force births, in other people (the hypocrite). She wants to be a forcer (creating the force by voting legislation) and leave the enforcement up to law enforcement officers. She is a "birth forcer" and a "birth enforcer", the latter via proxies.

I've been using "birth slavers" lately to notable effect. nt sir pball Jun 2022 #42

Good one that. Might use it. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2022 #79

Forcing a human to give birth is literal slavery, it's the best term I can think of. nt sir pball Jun 2022 #82

Women forced to give birth are either slaves or cattle, but "birth herder" doesn't have same ring.nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2022 #83

Anti-vax men have been outed for being vaccinated. That's a comparable situation. pnwmom Jun 2022 #56

That is an analogous situation sarisataka Jun 2022 #64
