Trump Slips In Dangerous Anti-Abortion Language Into Executive Order
Donald signed a flurry of executive orders into place; some were expected, some were mind-blowing, and others were revealing. None of them will help to lower egg prices, though. All of them will, however, hurt the red states, too, probably more than the blue states. For example, Donald rescinded Handsome Old President Biden's EO to lower prescription drug prices.
And then there's this from The New Republic:
...Monday night included one that cemented language at the executive level to delegitimize transgender identities. But within the fold of that order, titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government," lay another damaging detail: the elevation of fetal personhood to the national stage.
"'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell," the order reads in part. "'Male' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell."
Unfortunately, there seems to be a misunderstanding by the authors of the executive order: all fetuses have phenotypically female genitalia until they reach six to seven weeks of gestation, at which point some fetuses can start to be visually differentiated as male, according to the National Institute of Health.
