I said it over in Website Feedback and I’ll say it here, too: it’s time for some of you to snap out of your stupor. You assumed that the GOP were good people who just had other beliefs; that’s false. They’re bad people with toxic misogyny at the core of their belief system.

You assumed that everyone now agreed that women were people of the same inherent worth that men have. That’s false too. These fundie duckers don’t think you’re worth jack. They think your career, your beliefs, your feelings - it’s all less important than men. (As to the fact that it’s a literal People of Praise cult member handmaiden delivering the death blow? These POSs always have a Trojan horse. Phyllis Schlafly, for one, Amy Bullcrap for another).

Multiple states have trigger laws with varying forced birth laws waiting, Sword of Damocles, to be put into law the minute the cheating GOP got Roe removed. What do you think is going to happen in those states? You think every thing is just going to be balmy winds and smooth sailing? You want to find out which unfortunate pregnant woman loses her life because of some pregnancy emergency she’s facing and the doctors don’t feel they can act on without facing a lawsuit and losing their licenses? Not every pregnant woman is going to get magically lifted over state lines to state where women are considered people. Some of you are going to die. Your ability to get an abortion because you don’t want to be pregnant is very much going to be in danger. Hope it felt good to feel smug while you pretended we spoke with hyperbole. [/quote]

Actually, it is posts like these that make me less inclined to support the left.

I am, like most Americans, somewhere in the middle on abortion.  I want abortion legal, but I also find the people claiming that it is the woman's choice up to the point of delivery nuts.

[…]There are so many other issues in the political sphere, many of them more important than abortion to me.  […]

I’m the PP to whom you’re replying.

You are a Republican and you are arguing in bad faith. No pro-choice policy supports “woman’s choice up to the point of delivery;” that’s a right wing talking point. The facts that you, a “pro choice” person, are ignoring in this regard is that 1) women who don’t want to be pregnant want to be not pregnant as fast as humanly possible. 2) absolutely no woman is waiting till 40 weeks to get an abortion because she changed her mind (all jokes made on the delivery table aside) 3) we will always need 2nd and 3rd trimester abortion available because fetuses will always die, women will develop life-threatening complications from pregnancy, etc, etc. So you’re arguing right wing talking points, ascribing them to the life and calling us nuts. Classic right winger.

Then you go on to say that there are so many more issues in the political sphere more important to you than abortion. Bully for you. I’m sure Dr. Seuss and ThE bOrDeR and CrT occupy a lot of your political energy, and you, like so many women who came into adulthood post-Roe, assumed that your autonomy as a woman was a sure thing, that the right wing forced birthers were always just winking at it, and they didn’t mean [i]you[/i] weren’t a person with full rights to bodily autonomy, they meant some other woman. The abortion [i]you[/i] got in your 20s (and I’m speaking statistically here) was a “good” one because… well, you had your reasons and they were good reasons!

Guess what?! Your party doesn’t think you’re a person after all! You’re just vessel! Congrats on being a tool of oppression because there are other things more important than women being treated like the full humans they are. Go ahead and cast aspersions on my character, my judgment, etc. But in a few years, when your daughter can’t get that good abortion she needs, or when your friend bleeds out from placenta percreta with her fourth pregnancy at 19 weeks because doctors don’t want to risk their license to surgically end the pregnancy and leaves three motherless children, you will know that I am right and everything you thought was politically “more important” was a lie.
