“Idaho has some work to do,” Crane said. “Be patient with us.”

Why the hell should anyone be patient? If they weren't ready for the law, they shouldn't have enacted it.

Tons of Idaho women tried to be patients, but then the lunatic politicians made medicine illegal

I remember listening to interviews of people after Roe was overturned. One younger sounding woman said "now that it's overturned, we can finally turn to getting support and healthcare for the mothers and newborns".

I wonder what that woman is thinking right now. What issue is she championing now.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's thinking nothing because her brain is just a .wav file of the latest Fox News broadcast and whatever her psycho preacher said last Sunday.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So something along the the lines of, "We should be friends with Russia"?

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's probably thinking that there is still more abortion to get banned, so that will have to wait.

Actually helping parents and newborns apparently needs to wait. As can policies that are actually effective at reducing abortion rates such as financial support for the pregnant, access to contraception and sex ed, childcare, etc. For some reason, all that couldn't happen before overturning Roe. For some reason.

I'm starting to suspect maybe the anti abortionists just want to subjugate women... 🤔

[–] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Am I just biased or right wingers almost never have anything nice to offer to people?

Depends if you are rich or not

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen a single good thing that actually benefits all Americans.

[–] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Policies for the rich. But they use wedge issues like abortion and now “woke” to get elected.

[–] clockwork_octopus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

It isn’t about saving babies, or saving women, or any of that crap. It’s about control. Always has been.

Did we even really need the article?

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know what you mean, but we absolutely do, we have to hold our politicians accountable and the press is just one of those ways. I know they're probably not changing minds but this is part of transparency.

Pro-life???? Not so much. Anti-women and kids.

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

As we all should've known to begin with, you want less abortions you give more support to people having children. Banning abortions just pushes more kids into a society that doesn't care about them except when it's sometimes convenient politically. If you give mothers free childcare and remove the barriers to return to a normal life after childbirth you'll see a downturn in abortions as the alternatives are less miserable for most people. If you ban abortions you force women already in bad circumstances into worse ones.

Funny how reality caught up to the memes.. well.. not funny, but you get it.

[–] Mafflez@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'm waiting for the memes where people just start killing Republican officials.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I am the opposite of surprised!

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yet your primary goal in this thread was to focus on the pregnancy as a punishment for bad behavior.

Weird how you think like that.

If not letting someone take of your body to support their life is absolutely and indelibly murder, then ever single person who dies waiting for an organ transplant you did not offer to them is your victim. Neat. On top of being a proud misogynist, you're also a killer.

Not being a whore is still legal there the last time I checked.

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's amazing the way "pro-lifers" don't actually believe in a right to life. At all.

This right here is what they really care about -- judging and punishing people for having sex. They view pregnancy as a consequence and so abortion is escaping a consequence. It has nothing to do with the rights of the fetus, just persecuting the uterus.

Because, after all, if you truly believed that pregnancy were a consequence, it would mean that you believe abortion should be legal for anyone that didn't take action to "deserve" the pregnancy. It means the right to life is contingent on the choices made or not made by the pregnant person. And a right that can be washed away by the choices made by a stranger is no right at all.

You just know if this guy got someone pregnant, he'd be driving them straight to the abortion clinic even if was across the country.

[–] firebreathingbunny@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

it would mean that you believe abortion should be legal

Murder should never be legal. End of discussion.
