    I wonder how many former pro-lifers this will create as people watch their younger siblings, cousins, and other loved one’s childhoods have their lives utterly ruined because they bought into theocratic propaganda about “the unborn”.

    Every time something like this happens it should be proof that it was about control and cruelty towards women and girls.

        Pro control as well.

        I never say pro life and I correct everyone who ever does. Then I ask to list off the things that make them pro life and it doesn’t exist

      Less than you think. These people do not hold punches with family. They might even be harsher on their own family since they “should know better” and “weren’t raised like that”.

      On the LGBTQ front, families have done more damage to them than any random individuals ever did. These people will not hold back at calling their children whores for getting pregnant even by rape.

        I’m operating on the basis that most people, do in fact, love their family members and want them to live happy, fruitful lives. If someone doesn’t want that for their loved ones then what I’m saying wouldn’t apply. Someone who is “normal” but not radicalized, in the sense that they may be reflective of society’s inherent prejudices and have views shaped by them, but are repulsed by overt displays of racism/sexism, would probably be horrified.

          Love for them is synonym of keeping the baby even after rape. The baby is a gift of god even after a rape.

          It’s disgusting but people really think like that after being brainwashed by the GOP and religion.

      “actually, it’s about protecting MY kids, who I would NEVER let this happen to, who fucking cares about some OTHER parent’s child?”

    This is one of the things to remember the next time someone tries to “both sides” some discussion about the ills of Republican control, and one of many demonstrable impacts they have made in their rampage through our legal and legislative bodies.

    “Pro-life” strikes again. Apparently, “life” means being forced to endure rape and life-threatening birth-giving.

      I think there’s a George Carlin quote about it, or if not him another comedian. They should be called pre-life because that’s all they care about. The minute you’re born you’re fucked.

    If the state is going to mandate birth, then the state should be covering the cost of raising the child. Make Mississippi pay child support.

      I think I’ve heard about some people getting away with using carpool lanes while pregnant on the basis that they had “two passengers” in some conservative states.

    This is exactly what conservatives want. Poor people dependent on the government.

      Poor people dependent on the government are some of their favorite boogeymen used to justify taking away any social service they can.

      Wouldn’t conservatives want the opposite? More local governance with more personal freedom?

      I do agree that the abortion should be pro-choice, but it seems like you’re expanding it to be much larger than just this issue.

        Poor people are generally uneducated people. And uneducated people are easily led because they are easily scared. This is why you don’t see many conservatives in favor of higher education or any policy that funds schools. Dumb people believe lies much easier than smart ones.

        So no- conservatives don’t want the opposite. They want an America entirely reliant on them.

          So they want to keep people poor and stupid to control them? I can’t really argue for or against that right now as I’m not that conservative myself.

          To my understanding, Republican / Conservative tend to be closely aligned. Republican tends to favor more local control and decision making while puts the direct citizens in more control of their lives. That has a side effect of sometimes a local population might make what’s perceived as silly or stupid decisions, but it’s what they want.

          The other side tends to go for big government with more control because to enact a lot of the policies they want done, they need that power and control. It also has a side effect of sometimes placing inefficient policies that don’t take into account specific circumstances in a particular area. A possible example would be banning motors running on gas in a rural area with no infrastructure to support that kind of change. Not to mention the hindrance on those doing important jobs like food production.

            Yeah. No. I looked through your comment history. Mainly because every time I see someone claiming to be an independent/libertarian, I almost always see that they’re just a conservative that’s too cowardly to commit to the bit.

            And you’re no different.

            You are a contrarian to nearly ever single liberal viewpoint and share conservative ideology to a fault. You’ve no critical opinions about any conservative policy, and seem to only criticize all liberal democratic policy.

            I don’t debate with disingenuous people.

              My account isn’t very old and many of the posts were mostly within the same thread about the same topic. It’s not like I’d discuss everything I think in a single thread.

              Feel free to ask me what I think about specific topics and I’m most likely willing to share.
