Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.

It's so gross and infuriating.

Even if it did affect them through someone they knew, the people writing the laws can afford to circumvent them. Make no mistake, these people do get abortions banned or not.

This is NOT a men vs. women issue. It's a conservatives vs. sane people issue. Joe Biden didn't take away abortion access and Amy Coney Barrett did.

Ashley Brandt, a Dallas resident, said she was pregnant with twins but learned one had a fatal condition called acrania. The longer she carried it, the more it jeopardized the survival of her other twin.

oh my god....

I don't think you can be any more "pro life" than putting 2 other healthy people at risk to save the life of a baby that's going to die.

[-] journey01@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

Don't forget many "pro lifers" are in the same demographic as pro death penalty.

We're actually running out of spots in hell for hardworking Christians at this point. We're having to quadruple and octople stack souls together and it's a bit alarming. I've been having to repeat a ton of times to the incredulous that feeling like you're doing the right thing and doing the right thing, [aren't the same thing].

They seem genuinely shocked and confused, which leaves me feeling leery if they're actually idiots or evil. Hanlon's Razor says to always assume ignorance before malice.

You guys gotta do something or all your old people are gonna end up cooking.

especially if it is a fetus and not a baby

And the far right are going to claim she's faking it like the disgusting people they are.

[-] rarely@sh.itjust.works 51 points 2 years ago

The thing the right fears most is the truth.

[-] ProximaC@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

They fear not being in control. Whether it's control over others bodies or control over religion and government, or the fear of being a minority racial group, the one thing in common is they have to be the ones allowed to tell everyone else how to live.

I am surprised these Texas savages did not lock her up.

[-] Matt_Shatt@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Texas will soon be banning women from vomiting in public. That’ll solve that issue.

[-] Mishmash2000@lemmy.nz 73 points 2 years ago

These types of laws are sick and barbaric and not indicitive of a civilised society! These woman should not have to revisit their trauma but they are fucking made to by a sick group of degenerates who make laws that the majority simply don't want!

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 70 points 2 years ago

The cruelty of it is the point.
