Jesus. That's almost as dark as the reality of things.
Political Memes
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
JFC this is horrifying and heartbreaking. But that's the reality for women in Republican-ruled U.S. states, they are being denied health care. The cruelty is intentional.
Pro-Life!!!
We're so Pro-Life that we'll risk your health and even let you die!
And if you even attempt to seek medical care for this we'll kill you and the provider!
BECAUSE WE'RE SO PRO-LIFE
Texas has over a 50% increase in maternal fatality rates.
Quit reminding me I need to leave this place.
We all do/should. I don't know if it has gotten worse or if I have just started to realize how bad it actually is but, this state sucks in a lot of ways.
Is this God’s Will?
The evangelicals mostly say "yes", but only because they don't give a shit about women.
That's not correct. They actively hate women and want them to die.
They don't want them to die immediately, though.
They're supposed to keep their mouth shut and push out babies until they die...
Only if it happens to someone else.
Oh fuck that's good. Oh man, there needs to be a word to describe something like this. Where it's brilliant but deeply upsetting troubling and realistic at the same time.
Jesus Christ, Lemmy.
Jesus Christ, ~~Lemmy~~ Christofascists.
FTFY. It's not Lemmy's fault that that's what's happening IRL!
Pretty hard to "think of the children," like Republicans keep demanding we do, when there are no children to give.
They just said "think about the children", not "help the children", or "feed the children", or "protect the children".
Just think about them. In which manner? It's up to your liking and preferences.
"is this a red state?" is the "is this loss?" of real life
Oof.
How the fuck will this reach people who believe the government is controlled by Jews who employ space lasers and drag queens?
Not having words helps.
Tell them less (fewer) abortions are exactly what the black trans community want the most.
But honestly, just start throwing southern preachers who promote politics from the pulpit in prison, as dense and arrogant as they are, they'll get the message eventually.
This was almost my Mom in 1980. She was bleeding out due to a complication from pregnancy. If the doctors hadn't performed an emergency abortion she'd have died, and I'd never have lived. Abortions save lives.

I can't believe how effective this is at tapping into our understanding of what's supposed to happen in this meme and applying it to what's actually happening in the real world. The title tells you what it's going to be and even still the message hits hard out of left field. This is how you get a point across.
What is the receptionist pointing at in the third panel and why?
