In the midst of the turmoil in July 2022, they learned Mayron was pregnant again. But this time, doctors warned she and her fetus might not survive.

The embryo had been implanted in scar tissue from her recent cesarean section. There was a high chance that the embryo could rupture, blowing open her uterus and killing her, or that she could bleed to death during delivery. The baby could come months early and face serious medical risks, or even die.

Tennessee already had some of the worst outcomes in the nation when measuring maternal health, infant mortality and child poverty. Lawmakers who paved the way for a new generation of post-Roe births did little to bolster the state’s meager safety net to support these babies and their families.

The solution is obvious. Stop having heterosexual sex.

Gay sex for everyone - the ultimate conservative goal!

There had to be one advantage to being trans in conservative us.

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Trans pals on level 9000 again.

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They want to make that illegal too. Silly peasant, sex is for rich people. The rich can have any kind of sex they want.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Especially the "with a minor" kind apparently

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Put stuff in the water to make us gay please, it worked with the frogs!

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or make it airborne so republicans can't even blame us they don't wear mask or believe in airborne virus

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Don't go thinking they care about consistency...

As conservatives cheer. The only thing a conservative can offer this planet is misery.

[–] Ekybio@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Conservatives will see the cruelty and argue: "Well, this is sad, but it is worth in order to keep Society healthy and pure".

Its a lie. But admitting that would mean facing the prospect of being evil all along.

So we all have to suffer instead.

A lot of them also claim that it is interfering in god's will to allow anyone an abortion. A raped 10-year-old- no abortion. A fetus that will only live for six hours after birth and be in agony the entire time- no abortion. The woman and the fetus will both die without emergency medical intervention- no abortion.

while also getting LASIK, having their appendix removed, pulling wisdom teeth, getting cancer treatment...

which apparently wasn't God's will.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

God is a genocidal asshole. Jesus was more about love, equity, and forgiveness. If laws are meant to be a reflection of society's morals, you would think the laws introduced by Christian politicians would be more aligned with Jesus' teachings.

But, of course not. Why listen to your own religious teachings when you can cherry-pick examples out of the Bible to justify creating legislation that exerts control over women.

They wouldn’t even see this as sad. They lack empathy.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ask someone who actually supports this what they think. They'll say something super fucktarded and out of touch like "I don't see the problem. If people can't handle the consequences, they shouldn't be having sex"

After her 10-hour shifts, Mayron visited Elayna as often as she could, sometimes sleeping in her car in the hospital’s parking garage.

Oof. And keep in mind that they had another infant at home.

This was such a hard read, because the way the story was told always made me feel that with the right help, this family could get okay.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The right help was abortion, because we sure as fuck know that there aren't any fallbacks once born.

People know this and take the responsible choice of terminating the pregnancy, except the "small conservative government" needs uneducated slaves.

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah this should not appear as a "abortion bad" comment.

[–] intelisense@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

The cruelty is the point.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Yup. Been saying this at about Shitty Christian Republicans for decades now.

It's fine, not fucking really, if you think your Shitty Christian beliefs says you want to ban abortion but fuck your hypocritical Shitty Christian ass when you don't provide the mother and the fucking child you forced her to have the money and support to raise them.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago

This is such a sad tragedy.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 10 points 2 years ago

Fuck the people who pass these laws can't they just do what they want based on their religeon and leave others the fuck alone
