How feminists do March Madness



So, of course, I’m pulling for OSU in the sweet sixteen, because come at me bro. I don’t even care, if I can deal with KS during football season I can deal with haters in March.

Regardless, we feminists did March Madness a little different. And thanks to Mother Jones, I didn’t have to set up a bracket.



So as you can see North Dakota wins! And women lose. North Dakota’s Governor, Jack Dalrymple signed 6 week abortion ban because a fetal heartbeat might be detected on Tuesday. Governor Dalrymple also signed a measure to ban abortions based on genetic defects, which is a first in the nation. So progressive.

Abortion-rights advocates argue this is an attempt to close North Dakota’s one abortion clinic. Supporters of the fetal heartbeat measure claim it is a challenge to Roe, which legalized abortion up until a fetus is viable at 22 to 24 weeks. This is their aim all along because anti-choicers don’t care about babies or women’s health obviously, they just want to overturn Roe.  Abortion-advocates are gearing up for a costly fight in the courts. I honestly don't know what this will look like, but here's hoping we destroy personhood and put an end to this mess.
