This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

IUDs do not work by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. This is wrong and a lie concocted to withhold highly effective long-term contraception
Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.
It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

This rejection of airborne pathogens reads like reactionary, emotional objections to the concept of miasma. That because miasma said infections were airborne, and miasma was wrong, infections must definitionally be not airborne. Which is not true.
