      This is sad on so many levels.

      The implications of Roe V Wade are significantly negative and dangerous and it’s not just about birth control and pro choice.

      In trying to prevent “murder” of fetuses, the GOP has by abolishing this bellwether case de facto legalized the murder of mothers, literally.

      Unintended consequence? Or the elimination of low income, minority voters who coincidentally vote Democrat.

      The GOP just hates women. That’s it. Because if you want people to have more kids you don’t make pregnancy more dangerous. You only make pregnancy more dangerous if you want to kill people. If they can’t manipulate women like chattel, they’d rather kill you. Register, then vote.

      The “unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for.

      They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn.

      You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone.

      They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

      The Republican party is the party of death, a mother dies because she can’t get medical care all they can offer is thoughts and prayers, a school shooting they give thoughts and prayers, a mass shooting they give thoughts and prayers – the don’t care who dies so long as they get to stay in control.

      It’s unreal that this happened in the USA in 2024. I think it’s because they want the labor.

      There would have been ways to write these laws that didn’t cause this and the Republican politicians really showed their extreme priorities and careless disregard for women’s safety when they didn’t hold hearings with medical experts and didn’t allow doctors authority to make reasonable exceptions based on risks to health, not just being already on deaths door.

      But no. Avoiding loopholes was more important to them than saving women’s lives.

      It’s about control. They are already foaming at the mouth to go after birth control. Evangelicals truly believe that women were put on the Earth to serve men and should “know their place.”

      Guys! Guys! I think I figured it out! ☝️🤓
      I think conservatives may be disingenuous about their values.
      I couldn’t be sure before since the only proof I had is how they follow without question a lying, child raping, traitor, fraud, racist demagogue.
      Anyway, that was a lot of mean things about conservatives. I need a bunch of false equivalencies about liberals now to be fair and balanced both sides bipartisan center small businesses tax cuts 9/11?

      Safe, legal, and accessible abortion care would’ve saved the lives of these women.

      Women were always going to die in the post-Roe world, Republicans knew it – they didn’t care.

      They will now PRETEND to care, by using the Comstock Act to “protect” women from abortion pills.

      If women are dead or in jail from bodily functions they can’t vote . Takes care of that pesky 19th amendment.

    14. ElPlywood on

      Hardcore pro file clowns would say “well, the baby is 100% defenseless and can’t advocate for itself, so we have to, so if in the course of protecting the baby the mother dies too, that’s okay, because 1) that’s God’s plan and 2) we still did everything we could to protect the baby because the baby has to be the priority every single time, full stop.”

      SAY THEIR NAME! The Dems need to run ads everywhere with this story.

      I’m so angry about this. I’d appreciate some advice:

      My next-door neighbor (who maybe isn’t the sharpest bowling ball in the alley) has expressed that she’s 100% voting for Trump to “protect her daughter from the ‘Venezuelan Rape Gangs’ that are ‘already in our state'”.

      She recently had an abortion – which she told to me in confidence because she’s not a bad person, she’s my neighbor, and we get along very well – despite any political disagreement.

      How do I broach this subject with her without alienating her?

      They’re not pro-life, or even pro-birth. They’re just pro-punishment. They consider death to be a just punishment for getting an abortion, and pregnancy to be a just punishment for “promiscuity” (which is the main reason they care about abortion to begin with).

      Medical care is pro life.

      Universal healthcare is pro life.

      Birth at all costs, even if it kills the mother, it’s a weird fetish.

      Meanwhile Georgia could be poised to vote for Trump….

      What I find so funny about the conservative mindset is that in one breath they’ll say to their child, “My house, my rules!” or, “If you’re living rent free in my home, then I have the right to evict you whenever I want! Sorry this isn’t a charity!”

      … But suddenly, white men are telling women they can’t make a choice of their own body when a parasitic clump of cells is freeloading off its body.

      So much for individual freedom…

      Has any redditor or website started to collect all these stories yet? If not, I might have a weekend project…

      Bodily autonomy for the cells / zygote / fetus. The host is just an owned incubator. Livestock.
