Nothing says pro life than killing anyone who receives an abortion, even if the abortion is to save the life of the mother which is the case for: Preeclampsia/Eclampsia, Placenta Previa/Accreta, Previable PPROM, Cardiac/Renal Disease, and Ectopic Pregnancy

I see where you fucked up: you were looking for a conservative position to have any sort of internal logical consistency.

[–] Coastal_Explorer@feddit.online 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Most people actually agree on the same thing once you get down into the details of abortion. For some reason everyone likes to lump themselves into "pro-life" or "pro-choice" camps and then argue about the extreme takes from either side.

It's because the pro life people are fed bullshit about pro choice people, like they get pregnant just so they can murder babies.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Babies are an excuse. This is about misogyny and coercive control.

They also want to terrorize/murder "Democrats" and brown women.

The pro-abortion people are bad at marketing their position.

All MAGA can think about are reasons to kill people, and steal more money. That's political leadership for these psychopaths.

One day, there will be a reckoning...I hope these men suffer for their beliefs... I say that as a white man. I also say this...I shouldn't have a say in what a random woman does with her body. The only women I should be involved with is my wife (if she gives me the option) and my daughters (which I don't have).

What right could be more intimate and involiable than that of bodily autonomy? And such what sin could be greater than to deny it?

First the GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles) the most sacred right is apparently the right to rape amd murder children without facing any form of prosecution. The idea that a sitting President can't be tried should have gone out he window the same second that evidence became available that said President has raped and murdered children became available. These monsters are getting away with horrific crimes against children and being protected by one of only two major political parties - for the sole reason that they are wealthy. As long as the Epstein criminals walk free, JUSTICE is dead in America. No one should be prosecuted for any crimes until all Epstein criminals are investigated, tried, ans executed. Yes, executed, especially the ones that are accused of murdering unwanted infant offspring of their hellish liaisons. If that offends you, I don't care. If an Epstein accused is found guilty of raping children - execute them - preferably in public - to insure that anyone else considering committing those crimes is very solidly convinced to not do so. Especially, those also accused of murder...

I got banned from Reddit for that opinion...Will Lemmy defend the pedophiles too and accuse me of calling for "political" violence. Notice that I called for trials first. That's how the American legal system works. You have s trial, you carry out a sentence. The death penalty is legal in the US.. That's not political based on a party. If Bill Clinton is guilty execute him too. If Bill Gates is guilty, sharpen a guillotine. If it's Donald Trump - do it twice - because his name appears in the Epstein files almost as much as Epstein. If that opinion offends you, I don't care. You should be offended that the sitting President of the United States is being protected from investigation by his political allies on both sides of the aisle. He's being told that he can commit any crime, and NO ONE can stop him! He said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and people would still vote for him...and his enablers are going out of their way to prove that he was correct. It's absolutely disgusting! The acts listed on those files are beyond heinous and anyone defending the perpetrators had better have an iron stomach just to read the accusations.

Save babies. Kill women.

Sounds pretty spot on for conservatives. Oops. Forgot one.

Save babies. Kill women. Put children to work.

Fuuuuuuck these clickbait headlines

Nothing got "slammed", some random person on the internet hated the idea

I hate it too, I'm sure everyone hates it, but nothing got slammed, nobody shook the earth

Can we PLEASE stop it with the clickbait headlines? I'm about one more clickbait post away from just no longer reading the news as everything seems to be written by an AI pretending to be an edgy 15 year old.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

This could backfire on them, I recall several years back reading a study in which anti-abortion sentiment plummeted the moment subjects were asked whether the pregnant woman herself should be punished (not even executed, just punished) for getting an abortion.

It's an interesting bit of cognitive dissonance, the sentiment seemed to be "yeah, abortion is murder, the doctor's a murderer, but the person who hired him to do that murder is an innocent victim who must be protected."
