Of course, now that the baby is out the pro-lifers say that they can both go die in a ditch
The unborn are a convenient group to advocate for
Literally have to do nothing other than talk
This is what Republicans want for all of us.
If Republicans win the next election, they will institute a national abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest.
If you want to stop this, the only way to do so is to vote for Biden. I really hope people understand this.
What it's going to take is to vote in Biden, then whoever the Democrats run in 2028, 2032, 2036. Until enough of the Republican justices die in office that actual jurists can replace them.
And the nurse's comment on finding a 13 yr old pregnant? "What have you been doing?" For fucks sake, I hate the world.
and it's her rapist's child. a stranger nonetheless. These folks just lack humanity.
Sounds like a Republican's dream
If Republicans didn't have children with an abused woman, would they have any at all?
The baby's father is so proud he gave expensive cigars to all his fellow GOP congressmen.
This is just completely disgusting. When everyone failed her the law wasn't even on her side. Say what you want about abortions in general, but the audacity that people have to make getting abortions under rape or complications political is just disgusting. My heart truly goes out to this little girl, and her family, but especially the little girl. I can't imagine the amount of life altering trauma she has gone through, and how this is going to affect her for the rest of her life. This shouldn't happen to anyone. What the fuck is wrong with people.
I am embarrassed to be American
Wow that is some serious bullshit right there. For the rest of this girls life she is going to have to share custody with the man that raped her.
They don’t know who it was. It was a complete stranger who raped her when she was playing in her yard. The police haven’t even investigated. He’d have to come forward first.
is it worth it Republicans?
This is literally what they wanted, of course it's worth it.
They think they haven't gone far enough yet, not that the price to pay is too high. Not like they're paying the price themselves, and they're incapable of feeling empathy for people like this girl who are affected by their psychopathic legislation. If they themselves or anyone in their immediate family needs an abortion, they'll go get one somewhere else because they're good people and they have a good reason for it, unlike all those woke socialist Nazi sluts
As if she was their problem.
They only want control over her. The rest ain't their problem.
To understand why this is happening, you have to go back in history to the end of the slave trade. When the ability to kidnap people from Africa and bring them back to enslave them was legally ended, the white enslavers realized that the only way they could keep slavery going was to force people to breed more slaves. Google that history. It is utterly abhorrent but necessary to understand where the Republican Party is coming from today.
Since the end of slavery, a certain contingent in the U.S. has never gotten over the fact that they couldn't legally have a sub-class of citizens that they could use for free or nearly-free labor. So they kept trying to find other ways to keep people oppressed, and they expanded that oppression beyond just black people and to any of the "less desirable" groups. Think not just Black people, but also Irish, immigrants, Appalachia. They pit these groups against one another because divided people are easier to control. But the goal is the same - have large groups of people poor for generations who have no other option but to work for slave wages and keep the people at the top very, very rich.
Slavery in the U.S. was a huge economic force, one that a certain contingent (the very wealthy) never got over losing. The next best thing was to create whole groups of people who are desperate enough to work for almost nothing. That's what we have in this country now. And it works best if those people are constantly putting out more children. That keeps them even more stuck and more desperate, and it keeps a steady supply of cheap labor coming.
It's no coincidence that they want abortion ended but also want to ensure those same people are continually subjected to sub-standard education, that those same people are "allowed" to send their kids to work (defeating years of progress through child labor laws), that those people are also unable to access higher education, government benefits, or virtually anything that could potentially make their lives better.
Makes me sick, fuck that hellhole of a country.
News from ~~Texas~~ USA start to sound a lot like news from catholic Poland lately. I just can´t imagine this kind of fucked up shit is what Jesus wanted though /s
This news is from Mississippi, but same difference really.
Thanks, fixed it
I assume the girl asked help from the republicans around here, but they couldn't hear her ask over the sound of themselves screaming about how much they want to "protect children".
I was reading a description of this popular novel the other day. It was set in America and was supposedly fiction...
The novel explores themes of subjugated women in a patriarchal society, loss of female agency and individuality, suppression of women's reproductive rights, and the various means by which women resist and try to gain individuality and independence.
I will fight my ass off to place my children into a conservatorship or even frame them for a crime if they ever consider moving to a place like Mississippi
I just woke up and this almost made me puke. This is sick.
