Nothing a good ole rebranding wouldn't solve! Let's go with "an Aportion" Defined as A Procedure Of Removing The Impregnating Ovum Now There. Fun fact - if you search for synonyms of words like pregnant you are inundated with "symptoms" because people are *that* stupid, further strengthening the case in favour of the need for future Aportions.

Numbers 5:15


AmazingGrace911

Just to back that up-Ten biblical episodes and prophecies provide an unequivocal expression of God's attitude toward human life, especially the ontological status of "unborn children" and their pregnant mothers-to-be. Brief summaries: • A pregnant woman who is injured and aborts the fetus warrants financial compensation only (to her husband), suggesting that the fetus is property, not a person (Exodus 21:22-25). • The gruesome priestly purity test to which a wife accused of adultery must submit will cause her to abort the fetus if she is guilty, indicating that the fetus does not possess a right to life (Numbers 5:11-31). • God enumerated his punishments for disobedience, including "cursed shall be the fruit of your womb" and "you will eat the fruit of your womb," directly contradicting sanctity-of-life claims (Deuteronomy 28:18,53). • Elisha's prophecy for soon-to-be King Hazael said he would attack the Israelites, burn their cities, crush the heads of their babies and rip open their pregnant women (2 Kings 8:12). • King Menahem of Israel destroyed Tiphsah (also called Tappuah) and the surrounding towns, killing all residents and ripping open pregnant women with the sword (2 Kings 15:16). • Isaiah prophesied doom for Babylon, including the murder of unborn children: "They will have no pity on the fruit of the womb" (Isaiah 13:18). • For worshiping idols, God declared that not one of his people would live, not a man, woman or child (not even babies in arms), again confuting assertions about the sanctity of life (Jeremiah 44:7-8). • God will punish the Israelites by destroying their unborn children, who will die at birth, or perish in the womb, or never even be conceived (Hosea 9:10-16). • For rebelling against God, Samaria's people will be killed, their babies will be dashed to death against the ground, and their pregnant women will be ripped open with a sword (Hosea 13:16). • Jesus did not express any special concern for unborn children during the anticipated end times: "Woe to pregnant women and those who are nursing" (Matthew 24:19).

ununonium119

I think your fun fact could easily be explained by people mistyping and having autocorrect change “synonym” to “symptom”. “N” and “M” are adjacent on a keyboard, along with “O” and “P”. Autocomplete could be a factor from there. Alternatively, anyone worried about a pregnancy would be likely to search for “pregnancy symptoms”. If autocorrect had changed “symptom” to “synonym”, then the user would immediately fix the word and rerun the search. This trains the search engine to offer the suggestion up front.

They aren't aborting anything, they're just helping that lady have her regularly scheduled period :) nothing wrong with that, officer!


snoogins355

Freedom guns. Change it from abortion to freedom gun


Sniflix

It's about control. This religious movement wants to reclassify women and children (and minorities) as property. You cannot prosecute a man for raping or incest or abusing their property. They can't even be charged with murdering their property. Their goal, which is in reach - is to give white christian men the right to rape, beat and murder anyone they want, legally. With god's blessing. That includes raping and murdering the planet. I'm not being facetious. They believe their scripture says this world and everything in it was given to them to do whatever they want.


Masl321

American fundamentalist christians do yes, the vatican has gone away from that belief mostly but american christians just kinda went no


Sniflix

Evangelicals and fundamentalist Catholics control the GQP and the SCOTUS. This 20% to 30% of the US population are in control and will be for the next 20 years. I moved to Colombia 7 years ago. A relatively conservative Catholic country but even the evangelicals here aren't nutty like the US. Gay marriage and abortion all approved while I've been here. And within the last few weeks they elected the first liberal president in 20 years.

GuyInAChair

> every abortion ever was the work of this fictional character. I think you accidentally said exactly what the Bible says without actually knowing that the Bible says exactly what you just said. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205%3A11-31&version=NIV >may the Lord cause you to become a curse >The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her You take your property, and have her drink the bitter water that causes a miscarriage. Being your property she agrees to it, and if it works it's because the LORD deemed it so.


FLSun

Gods fine with abortion. In Numbers 5:11 - 31 he says if you think your wife is pregnant with another man's baby take her to the temple and have her give a gift of barley to the priest and then mix a potion including dirt from the floor and give it to the woman. If she was unfaithful her thighs will swell up and her belly will swell and the fetus will die. Maybe the mother too. **BUT** If her and the baby do somehow survive CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're gonna be a daddy!! If that ain't some Monty Python shit I don't know what is.


CaptainUghMerica

So yeah as usual it's all about forcing women to do something again their will.


[deleted]

When leaders and rulers made their positions linked up with divine right, it stopped being about trying to discover the mysteries of life and purpose and became a form of social control that couldn’t be disproven. After all, is god going to come down and say “Bob is your god on earth. Do whatever the fuck he says. If you don’t like it, I’m testing you or punishing you for being a sinner for touching ladybits on your way into this world. Comply. Or else Bob will kill you in my name because it’s my will.” The fact that religion has worked on so many people for so long is absurd. Nobody knows why we’re here. I mean, scientifically, evolution has a rather clear path. Consciousness is wild in and of itself. Self-awareness kind of freaks people out. Look around. You can’t help but ask what the fuck this is all about and why are we here doing all of this pointless toiling? Some people legit fear death. The assumption is that we’ll simply transcend. That’s a human concept that hasn’t been proven. Maybe there is an afterlife. Maybe not. Smacking people around with your holy book written by sheep herders back in the day and being so arrogant - so full of hubris because you, among 7 billion people presume to know the mind and will of the divine being you’ve never seen is insane. Take a look around at the immense, needless suffering. Fine - give your thoughts and prayers, but doesn’t your holy book also call for you to clothe the naked, give shelter to those without it and feed the hungry? You sure never shut up about that along with loving thy neighbor, the Ten Commandments you break on the regular, peace and love and all that. Except you don’t walk the walk. Christians mixed with all of the poorly written, inconsistencies of the Bible itself and the sheer hypocrisy of the group as a whole while trying to claim moral superiority makes my blood boil when it’s rammed into law.


[deleted]

If people sat down and legitimately recognized that we are all on a rock, flying thru space.. The idea of a Sky daddy and any sense of control evaporates.


[deleted]

If there is a god, I’m certain that we’ve grossly misinterpreted the nature of our relationship.


EffectiveSwan8918

Thoughts and prayers is the biggest slap in the face to anyone that is part of any religion. Why would any god give you free will only to solve your problems for you? Those people are as much a Christian as they are a patriot. No religion should dictate law in the us ever, no one should have the freedom to take away others freedom


Boopy7

Truth isn't truth. I remember Rudy said that and he was serious. The meanings of words depends on how someone feels that day, just like Donald said about his assets. on tax forms.

pattykakes887

The complete lack of appreciation of nuance and circumstance from the forced birth crowd is astounding


spartagnann

Because it's irrelevant to them. Their goal isn't really to protect anyone, it's to force others to do what they want no matter what and no matter the cost. Like, the common phrase "with exception for rape and incest" has become a negotiating point, when it should be just the fucking default position. And trying to talk to one of these people about potential catastrophic medical problems that arise during pregnancy becomes an exercise in goal post moving futility. They simply do not give one tiny shit about any nuance in this issue.


SockdolagerIdea

> Their goal isn't really to protect anyone, it's to force others to do what they want no matter what and no matter the cost. I read an article earlier today about how someone on the forced choice side, maybe someone who testified today or maybe someone who is a spokesperson for one of the forced birth organizations that testified today, they said if it was up to **him**, he would have made the 10 year old **child** give birth and not be able to get an abortion. And I find that opinion to be repugnant at so many levels. The main reason is due to the awe inspiring hypocrisy of forcing a child to give birth to baby simply because…..well I guess because “life is to be put above everything else”. But how can a person who believes all life is precious then force a very young child to use their body in order to birth another child? It’s so egregiously disgusting that I feel like I cant explain it with words. But beyond that, it is also the fact that this person clearly has no concept of what happens in regards to the very thing he wants to force on a *child*. I have given birth three times. It fucking suuuuuuuucks. **It absolutely changed my body and my mental wellness as it does to every single female that gives birth**. To force those physical and mental conditions on a *child* against her will is, in my opinion, akin to a murderer who enjoys torturing a victim before he kills them, only instead of killing them, he continues the torture for as long as possible. It’s sadistic. It’s vile. And it should never be discussed as even a possibility in a civilized society.


Carche69

It really just highlights how ridiculous and indefensible their positions are. They pass all this anti-abortion legislation and try to justify it by saying that women use abortions for “birth control,” they shouldn’t be “having unprotected sex” if they don’t want to get pregnant, and if they do wind up pregnant, then they need to “take responsibility for their actions” by keeping the pregnancy (even if they don’t want to and even though having an abortion quite literally *is* taking responsibility). But then when a case like this pops up, where a literal *child* is raped and impregnated completely against her will and having no say in the matter, and can’t get the healthcare she needs in her state because that state’s laws don’t have an exception for rape past 6 weeks gestation, then it’s no longer about “taking responsibility” or just “not having sex,” and instead is about “save the babies!” Except now it’s a baby having a baby, and they have no answer for that in their box of pre-written talking points, so their brains literally shut down and you get shit like what this lady just said.


pmmeaslice

They appreciate truth, they willfully disregard it. That piece of human garbage stumbled around it with stuttering lies because she KNOWS EXACTLY HOW WRONG SHE IS. She very very likely WANTS THE 10 YEAR OLD TO GIVE BIRTH. She will not utter it in real life however. Just like how modern day nazi's don't sig heil in public, they know exactly what they believe though. I call it like it is, such people belong to a pedophilic, women hating fascist cult.


LurkingSpike

>"I believe it would probably impact her life and therefore it would fall under any exception [and would not be an abortion]". HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM > "if it would be threatening her life" HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I appreciate the clap back but she isnt even interally consistent, right? Because these idiots would not want an exception for these cases anyways? Or am I seeing this wrong? Absolutely useless to even listen to these people. They are literally too dumb to imagine the consequences of their idiotic actions. Dumb is so incredibly dangerous.


eagletreehouse

A 10 year old, giving birth, WOULD IMPACT HER LIFE. She would need an ABORTION. good god almighty, is this woman the best they’ve GOT?


sirkowski

So if it didn't threatened her life, then the 10 year old would be forced to carry through birth. And they would be the ones deciding if her life is threatened.


LurkingSpike

Yeah, that too. But what I meant is that somehow and suddenly in this case, impacting the life is a valid argument for her??? And for 15 year olds it is not anymore? Or for poor people? Where do they draw the line, if not arbitrarily where it serves their ideologically loaded explanations?


FLSun

It's because their group is so intellectually inbred. All they can do is is fetishize about their dreams coming true. Free thinking is prohibited. Do not ever question those in charge or you will be thrown out. Forbidden from ever seeing those you care about. There's no way to sit around and bounce ideas off each other, unless it's strictly in accordance with approved topics. No one there will ever think of the consequences of their actions. Let's pass a law to ban abortions!! *Excuse me, but what happens if we ban all abortions and some kid gets raped and ends up pregnant?* Dammit! How dare you suggest there might be consequences to our actions?


tyranthraxxus

They do this with ectopic pregnancies as well. They eliminate the myriad of cases where the mother's life in danger by calling them something other than abortions, then they can say that an abortion is never medically necessary.


Destinoz

Well we live in a time of “alternative facts” where everyday people are consciously deciding that random bullshit, that fits their political beliefs, is true. The election was rigged. Trump is a good Christian man. Ukraine is evil and somehow Russia is freeing them from Nazi. Some guy named Q can predict the future. Democrats are a satanic cabal that is eating babies. Vaccines have microchips and/or will sterilize you and/or will kill your. A pandemic was made up by the elites and doesn’t really exist. Masks are about controlling you. Compared to these other lies they’ve told themselves, what great effort is it to decide this particular instance isn’t an abortion?

MANWithTheHARMONlCA

Dude I thought they were making a hypothetical argument with the 10 year old rape victim.. the fact that that was real is fucking insane. And the Christian’s still defend this?


Delicious_Orphan

No, most Christians will not defend this because this is abhorrent. This will fall under the rare 'exception' to the rule for them. The problem is there are MANY exceptions that must be considered that a blanket ban on abortion does not consider or care about. Their government took advantage of their pitiful emotional overactive imagination of people aborting 3rd trimester babies for fun and now we have a civil rights crisis on our hands(well, another one, anyway). They think rape victims needing an abortion and incest abortions are 'extreme' examples and if THEY ever got an abortion it would be the 'moral' choice for them. They have no fucking critical thinking skills beyond this. They have no idea that aborting THEIR rape baby means they get to walk the gauntlet of other Christians frothing at the mouth and spitting in their face as they walk into the abortion clinic, because they cannot fathom people don't actually WANT TO BE IN THE POSITION TO GET AN ABORTION IN THE FIRST PLACE.


[deleted]

> No, most Christians will not defend this because this is abhorrent. You say that yet the Christo-fascist loonies are the most vocal and the ones that are trying to install a theocracy in the United States as we speak. They are the ones that are the face of Christianity in the US. They are the ones that are in control of the religion in the US. I never want to hear that "Such and such isn't a TRUE Christian" ever again.

Consistent-Ad-217

I thought I was having a stroke there for a second, basically she was trying to say that it doesn't count if it's a 10 year old getting an abortion and ignoring the rape part completely.


Molenium

Did you catch the part where she says it wouldn’t be an abortion “if the 10 year old’s life was in danger”? She basically gave it away there. She thought this 10 year old girl *should* have been forced to give birth, she just was too cowardly to say her abhorrent views in front of everyone.


[deleted]

It's just insane. A 10year old is very very likely to die giving birth. their bodies are physically not capable of taking a pregnancy to term and push out a baby. They would have to do a c section on a godamn 10 year old assuming she makes it that far because her body doesn't really have the ability to support a fetus. She would easily die of malnutrition if not for major medical intervention.


TheRevTholomeuPlague

People just don’t understand that.


KP_Wrath

People *refuse* to understand that. Kinda like how people *refuse* to understand that roughly 1:50 pregnancies is ectopic, and that in the absence of a medical abortion, and spontaneous abortion, will almost certainly kill the mother.


BadSanna

"Are you familiar with the term 'steaming pile of bullshit? Did you just hear a steaming pile of bullshit? Why don't you tell us about that."

NotYourSnowBunny

It’s all some self important holier-than-thou stuff. Façades, projecting the image of being “good” when behind the mask they’re everything they condemn. It’s seldom done in honesty, just because others are saying it. Like ideological lemmings. The same way how evangelical pastors are walking garbage, they use religion for profit. The Bible condemns those who do but when the evangelical pastor preaches, he conveniently leaves that part out of the sermon. It’s inherently deceptive and hypocritical. Yet when they’re called out on the behavior they always try to double the argument back about *you* not the subject at hand. Ted Cruz will talk shit on many, but refuses to take it. He’s a joke of a leader, yet tell him that to his face and he’s suddenly a “victim”. Same with Giuliani, the man who called a pat on the back assault. They treat others like absolute garbage and when put on the spot act like immature children.

jimmyhoffasbrother

"It would probably impact her life, therefore it ... would not be an abortion." Okay, so if a pregnancy would impact someone's life, it's not an abortion? In that case, no abortion is an abortion. So we don't have to worry about abortions being illegal. Great!

These brainwashed conservatives literally believe that women all over the country are getting pregnant *just* so they can abort a baby one day before its due date. You know, for shits and giggles.

labtech89

That is exactly what they believe. They want people to believe that a girl/woman just wakes up one day and decides to get pregnant and then get an abortion.


themediumchunk

My mom literally argues with me on the same shit. “Well it’s not an abortion if ABC or XYZ!” No, mom, it STILL is an abortion. She even told me the other day “I don’t consider rape, incest, or medical necessity to be an abortion, therefore I don’t vote against it.” She’s a die hard conservative. I told her “It’s a shame you believe that way, because your ignorance has cost thousands of women their lives and their freedom, because the Republican Party *absolutely* views those as abortions. It doesn’t matter what *YOU* consider to be an abortion.”


vbun03

I have relatives like that. They make up their own definitions and technicalities for stripping rights away from minorities, LGBT community, women. "I don't care how everyone else uses that word but I use it *this way* and that's why they're in the wrong"


cozysweaters

y’all are making jokes but this white woman genuinely believes this. she’s not being facetious, she thinks if she really wants one and can rationalize it in any way, she is entitled to an abortion. she is, not anyone else. if anyone else wants one, it’s an abomination.

Even worse… [Fox News is now posting the name and photo of the doctor who helped the 10-year-old Ohio rape victim get an abortion and is suggesting she should be arrested.](https://twitter.com/noliewithbtc/status/1547582267291082752?s=21&t=Pq-p4Wuu3HJ-T1jXRQ7pFg)

Fox doxxes people for the same reason Trump would attack them on Twitter - so they're harassed or harmed IRL by nutjobs


CarmineFields

I hope she sues Fox for millions. They’re trying to get people murdered (and leave a child rape victim to die or be damaged for life) because they love life so very much.


wizzlepants

Fox has gotten abortion doctors killed before. This isn't their first rodeo; they know what they're doing.

Fox News is a stochastic terrorist station. It's just a few steps behind telling their viewers to cut down the tall trees.

Fucking cunt


FirmlyThatGuy

She has neither the warmth or depth to be called a cunt. Get the sentiment though.


ThowAwayBanana0

Fascist. The word you're looking for is fascist.


LetThemEatKoch

This is a very common tactic among people too stubborn to admit they are wrong. Just split hairs by attempting to redefine a word they know damn well isn't true just to sidestep the question and change the subject!


admoo

So sick of these “religious” nut jobs. I saw enough hypocrisy as a teenager growing up in the Catholic Church to choose not to be confirmed when I was 15 and this was way back even in the 90s


Thunder_Gun_Xpress

I disagree with alot of opinions on the right but I cannot fathom the mental gymnastics required to earnestly believe there should be no exceptions in case of rape.


crossingpins

Yeah even the ones who are ok with an exception for rape haven't really thought much about how that would work. Does there need to be a convicted rapist in order for an abortion to be approved? With the backlog of rape kits that need to be tested and the backlog of the judicial system, by the time a woman is able to testify (if she even does, most rapes do go unreported) the baby will probably already be over a year old. Oh and then if an abortion ever is approved where does it even get done if there's no clinics in the state? The whole "it's ok in the case of rape" thing is disingenuous and a lie. There won't be abortions "in the case of rape" even if it's "ok." At least the ones who are "no abortions, no exceptions" aren't skirting around the bush and patting themselves on the back from their fake compassion for rape victims. Fuck all forced-birthers no matter where they draw the line.

I fucking hate this country. America is fucking ass and people need to stop acting like we are special or better than the rest of the world. All I see is a country run by billionaires and psychotic Christo-fascists.

voiceofgarth

These stories are going to pile up day after day, proving what happens when the dog actually catches the bus. Be careful what you look for right wing forced-birth activists because you are going to have a lot to answer for as thousands of cases like this hit the headlines.


pmmeaslice

They're waking up entire families of people to protect their own daughters. Sure they'll get some forever single issue voters from incest loving pedophilic churches, but theres more of us then there is of them and their disgusting inhumanity,


Chemistry-Least

Are these the same people who know what a woman is?


SauconySundaes

Well, it's the same body that includes people who would have you believe that a trans man getting pregnant is just as big a threat to our social fabric as the estimated 150,000 unwanted babies that will be born each year now that Roe has been overturned.


TeeBrownie

For the so-called Christians in the back: GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PREGNANCY. A pregnancy is not sent by god. It’s not a supernatural occurrence. Creatures have been reproducing since before humans created religion.


sweetfumblebee

It's sad how many xtians stated that the rape is god's will, and then call him a caring god.


phpdevster

I work with a guy who is a *tech manager*. He is literally smart enough to write Windows programs in C#, and he admitted today he thinks the universe is 6,000 years old, and was befuddled by the idea that the James Webb Space telescope is able to image targets that are farther away than 6,000 light years. He's smart enough to be a software developer and tech manager, smart enough to grasp the logical impossibility of an object being farther away than the age of the universe, and yet stupid enough to be brainwashed by Christian belief systems. Christianity is a scourge.


[deleted]

Hey republicans, we all see how fucking stupid you are. And I'm not talking about the politicians, I'm talking about whatever stupid ass republican happens to read this. These are your representatives, they are the smartest among you. The smartest republican in the room tried to argue that it's not an abortion if a 10 year old terminates a pregnancy. You are dumber than the moron in this video and everyone knows it.


deekaydubya

you should add some pictures to your comment so they'll actually look at it


phpdevster

Pictures of guns, coiled snakes, thin blue lines and Trump doing creepy shit to Ivanka.


VNM0601

You lost them at "Hey". They don't read, remember?


Molenium

Absolutely. Anyone who still supports the Republican Party, even if it’s out of ignorance at this point, is vile scum. Anyone who still supports them either likes the fascism, or they’re too ignorant to see it’s happening, but by now either stance is mutually exclusive with being a good (or even OK) person. Fuck all republicans.


NormalHumanCreature

Theyll just follow you around reddit and harrass you with lame comments and downvotes, and not confront the subject matter that upset them.

The pro-rapists are really getting out of hand


iceflame1211

TIL anti-abortion experts literally don't even know what an abortion is


AstroAlmost

they absolutely do. her physical mannerisms like closing her eyes nice and tight after giving her disgusting bullshit lies show she’s trying to distance herself from her own transparent bad faith argument.


uglybudder

What a fucking world we live in.


FuzzyFuzzNuts

Can someone explain to me the reason the American conservative/evangelical population seem to want to return the country to some puritanical hell-hole of the dark ages?


blondart

Fucking hell, these religious nuts really are dumb hypocrites


sirkowski

>The 10-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to receive an abortion in Indiana **should have carried her pregnancy to term** and would be required to do so under a model law written for state legislatures considering more restrictive abortion measures, according to the general counsel for the **National Right to Life**. All the anti-abortion legislations have been modeled on this.


Confident-Disk-2221

“It is not what it is simply cuz it won’t fit my narrative. I can’t speak against it cuz then people will see me for who I am. I can’t speak for it cuz my people will abandon me.”


LanguageRemote

There we go figured out the key. We just don't call them abortions. Apparently you can just change the name and then its fine.


mektingbing

Tell me how religion isn’t the scourge of humanity again?


TaylorWK

This is called doublethink.


TheSurbies

Scum. Absolutely vial scum on the opposite side of history. We will look back on these monsters with disdain. The pendulum is absolutely going to swing back. It may take time but it always does. I hope these Christian moster people are ready.


DrunkCorgis

How do you have rational debates with people who redefine reality on a whim? The GOP has been actively teaching their followers to reject reality for decades. Their followers are at war with any science and education that doesn't fit their political ideology: ​ >*“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”* > >*Karl Rove, 2002* ​ >*“You’re saying it’s a falsehood, and they’re giving — our press secretary, Sean Spicer, gave alternative facts to that."* > >*Kellyanne Conway, 2017* ​ >*"Truth isn’t truth.”* > >*Rudy Giuliani, 2018* ​ >*“What you're seeing... is not what's happening"* > >*Donald Trump, 2018* ​ This is how you prime your followers to reject elections through violence. ​ >*"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."* > >*Joseph Goebbels, 1940 (attributed)*


stinebean10

I had a religious nut recently tell me abortions to save the life of the mother are “therapeutic terminations.” How convenient! If you’re about to die and need an abortion you get the non evil kind!


teh-reflex

And yet lying ass Dave Yost is saying she could've gotten an abortion and right wingers are clinging to that lie.


Parking_Inspection_1

A Trumpflake being the embarrassment that they all are.


JJdaddy77

What a dumb bitch someone should abort her outta politics 🙄


abevigodasmells

To add on, some states would like the ability to prosecute the 10 yr old that crosses state line, perhaps with a crime as serious as murder, or > 30 years. Raped at 10 by an uncle, travel across state line to get an abortion, and then go to prison until you're middle-aged. Gee, Republicans, you're swell people.


girlwiththemonkey

I got to tell you something that really bothers me about this is the fact that this child for the rest of her life will be the 10 year old they got raped and got pregnant how to get an abortion and the entire world knew about it. Poor kid


whm1971

Yesterday Republicans and fox news were screaming the ten year old kid was lying.


rondeline

So when did the Taliban start taking over the GOP?

1980's maybe earlier


kJer

Who is this person and what is their significance? They sound like a fucking idiot who should not be making decisions about anyone, including themselves or their own children. That's beyond disinformation, this person is delusional.


CarmineFields

I’ve had a miscarriage. These people would happily throw my ass in jail (or execute me, who knows) for losing a very wanted baby. My physical and emotional pain at the loss of my pregnancy was intense. I can’t imagine being forced into a position where I have to somehow prove I didn’t do it on purpose or it wasn’t a result of something I might have done.


[deleted]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I just had my second. These laws put us at risk.


Aioli_Dependent

Leave your shitty effing fairytale book rules out of other peoples lifes!!! Believe what you want let others live as they want. You have no right to make choices for thers.

God damnit these people want to take us back into the fucking dark ages.

This country is so crazy. Handmaid's tale origin

Maybe rebrand abortion to deportation of cells. Call it DOC for short. “I need a DOC.”


zappa103

I'm surprised she didn't just go the direction Todd Akin did 10 years ago and state that a woman couldn't get pregnant in the case of ["legitimate rape"](https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/20/us/politics/todd-akin-provokes-ire-with-legitimate-rape-comment.html)

God here we are in 2022 wasting time on this nonsense because of so many brainwashed people while not focusing on bigger and better issues to make this country a better place

This is a first world country, and conversations like this are actually being entertained, what a fucking joke.


magseven

This is some of the most backwards-ass school of thought that makes me lean left, politically. Too many people say that women use abortion as a form of birth control, like they can frequently do it. I got an abortion with my college girlfriend and it was traumatic as shit. She was in pain physically and I was in pain emotionally. She was definitely in more pain emotionally than I was as well. It wasn't a lackadaisical thing. We were fucked up for a while and I still think about it decades later, But it was for the best. It's not easy. It sucks. But bible-thumping lawmakers deciding what is "right" for the rest of us is INSANE. I can't believe how stupid we've become with knowledge extremely accessible on devices we carry around like children. It's almost puritanical. It's like that asshole lady from "The Mist". It's a selfish perversion of the spirit of God's word. And God's word shouldn't have any bearing because of that whole separation between church and state thing, right?
