Has it not occurred to them that this will just lead to a lot of people killing babies?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They don’t care about babies, just fetus.

Applicable Carlin quotes:

"If you're pre-born, you're fine. If you're preschool, your fucked."

"Conservatives like live babies because they grow up to be dead soldiers."

And finally "You ever notice how these 'pro-life' dicks are people you'd never wanna fuck in the first place?!"

They care about control. Life clearly doesn't matter to them.

To a poor pregnant woman weighing her options ..... risk ruining their lives trying ask for an abortion and even get the death penalty .... risk getting a secret abortion in a backroom and maybe die from the procedure.

The outcomes are ... they ruin their lives if they try to ask for help ... they risk death if they get a secret abortion but also the chance of getting away with it.

It just means more women will just take the chance of getting abortions in secret ... expect women dying from secret abortions being on par with third world nations in first world United States.

Abortion bans only reduce the number of safe abortions.

It's like the death penalty for rape or child abuse. Safer to kill the victim if you're going to die anyway.

Do they...not see the contradiction?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

They do not. Seriously. These people equate abortions with murdering children.

I'm not being hyperbolic at all. I lived among them.

"We're so pro-life we'll fucking KILL YOU to prove it!"

"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.”

Logical conclusion of people who are both for the death penalty and think abortion is murder.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Is that what they call "Pro-Life"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

And with that, any claim that it's to "Protect life" is forfreit... and if I were a Democratic Politician, I'd think that was enough to win the battle.
