It is, however, consistent with the ways gestational age is determined by health care providers generally. It is a shit law for a whole multitude of reasons, but the way it calculates gestational age is not the problem.

But just think, your children will be better educated and more intelligent. We’re counting on your kids to save the world!

These people are dangerously reckless. Making it all the more frustrating is that the two or three children that I and others like me will have starting around the age of thirty will be outnumbered by the four to twelve children they will have starting at around twenty.

Of course. That’s why they stop fighting for people’s rights as soon as they’re born. Especially if they’re born female.

I have literally heard someone say, out-loud, straight-up “It doesn’t matter if we destroy this planet, because god is going to make another one.”

On a slightly separate, but related, note, when I was watching “The Purity Myth,” there was one woman involved in this anti-choice, anti-contraception movement who, on national television, tried to counter arguments of (see above) overpopulation, climate change, unemployment, etc. with “I just love babies. I think we should all have more babies in our lives!” Which makes it all the worse and creepier, as some of these folks seem to be approaching children not as members of society, but as adorable little toys and accessories.

Note that these are the same people who seem to believe that we can do whatever we want to this planet and it will magically continue to support our growing numbers, despite pollution, global warming, etc.

Oops, I forgot, those don’t actually exist.
