[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how the pro life movement can support the ruling.  It's MORE than just allowing a life to be born. Life is complex.  It's about what happens when mom's life is in danger, the morality of the pregnancy, the health of the baby long-term.  You have to wonder if these people are sane who want to outlaw abortion.  We even have history as hindsight to review.  I just don't get it.  For these pro lifers - how do they debate these factual stories of suffering for those unable to receive abortions?  What could justify this kind of suffering in this day and age?[/quote]

I don’t know you and I don’t want to make snap judgments about you, but you’re still using the “pro life” framing even though you obviously understand that there’s nothing pro life about their stance. You have to release your mind from the 1980’s “pro-choice/pro-life” framework. It was never about life, it was always about punishing women for getting rights. The cruelty is the point.

The cruelty is the point. For the religious forced birthers (most of them), there’s a strong biblical reward to punishing women by killing them via pregnancy and delivery. It’s something that literally makes them happy to know that women are dying in service to their true “calling.” Dying slowly in agony, even though there’s a safe, life-saving treatment with decades of use, a political death to please misogynists? That’s what they’re doing. [i]And the forced birthers know this is going to happen[/i]. The cruelty is the point.

The GOP is a pestilence on this land. Literally every problem that we face as a nation is either caused by them or worsened by them. They are so fantastically unpopular that have to use propaganda and cheating and they still get fewer votes. They worsen gun death, mental health, health care, health care access. The GOP single-handedly blew up covid numbers across the country because in March 2020 Trump was already pushing to “open” the states (and mocking masking). They worsen global warming and species diversity. They won’t support ending money in politics, they don’t support any workers’ protections or living wages; they don’t even support minimum wages. They claim to oppose immigration but mostly so they can abuse immigrants (and, let’s be honest, brown people in general no matter how long they’ve been here) and they won’t talk about immigration legislation nor will they adequately punish businesses that hire undocumented workers.

The cruelty is the point. It’s fascism, it truly is. [/quote]
