The brainwashing that has befallen many conservative women at the hands of their churches and families is sad.

They honestly believe that our world is better without their active participation and want to be baby factories and little else.

Surely some of them are intelligent enough to see through this BS, but given that their families and their faith are all they have now, especially as their rights erode away, how could they possibly question? Especially given how very red the red states are and how much they have come to resemble a cult.

Exactly!

Well is murder a personal choice? That's the thinking.

I’ve learned that if I am afraid of someone and believe they pose a threat to me, even if they’re unarmed, I’m allowed to gun them (a living, sentient person) down in the street. If I believe an embryo or fetus poses a threat to me and that makes me fear for my own life, why can’t I protect myself from that threat? Why is filling someone with lead more acceptable than taking a pill that simply ends cell division? You can even get away with shooting someone to protect property, but in some states, you can’t terminate a pregnancy to save your own life — even (in some cases) after the fetus has already died of natural causes!


Very good point. If the fetus is going to kill the mother, why is the fetus considered more important?


Because the mother is a woman, or some other individual republicans do not consider a person.

Also bear in mind if someone breaks into my home I have a legal right to shoot them even if I don’t fear for my life. Breaking into my body, though, is fine with the Republican crowd so long as the body in question only belongs to a woman.

The current platform for Republican senators running for re-election calls for raising taxes on every poor and middle-class American.



So, raise taxes on every poor and middle-class American, so every poor and middle-class American will have less disposable income, and will, therefore, spend less. I thought the repubs believed in capitalism? Remember when George W. sent checks out to people so that as patriots, we would support the economy by spending? Did that change? What's the goal here? Debt?

Abortion is not and CANNNOT be murder as long as the fetus/embryo is incapable of surviving by itself. Until it is viable, able to survive independently outside the womb, it just doesnt meet the accepted definition of murder. It’s not a self sufficient independent life. If you think it is, you are arguing religion not biological facts and we have a constitutional guarantee if separation of church and state. US laws cannot therefore be based on religious superstition and beliefs.

They can’t be bothered to investigate rapes, but they’ll spend how many hours combing over people’s private social media accounts?

Women aren’t people in the GOP.

That can’t be right. I specifically remember being told that women wouldn’t be prosecuted.

I've had a Republican friend for a dozen years and only recently found out she had an abortion at 24 weeks. Fetus was extremely, extremely disabled and multiple experts confirmed.

Having a baby is a basic bottom line economic decision, much more important than taxes or inflation.


Tell that to the forced birther misogynists who figure that throwing a pack of moldy diapers at a pregnant lady - two, if she attends your Bible brainwashing class - is sufficient to overcome the costs of pregnancy, birth and child rearing.

Same statement, different day


I'm a Republican and an attorney, I did think Roe V Wade was wrong in its logic and should have been overturned.

But I would vote in a heartbeat for rational middle-ground abortion legislation to preserve the right to it in the first 15 weeks, plus longer for rape, incest, fetal problems and the health of the mother.

The two extremes are nauseating.


But there's only one extreme here - the pro-life side. The Roe framework was a middle ground and statistically that was proven out over the 50 years it was in place. And yet, Republicans voted against codifying Roe.

Look, when you have people on the record publicly saying they think a 10 year old should have been forced to give birth and that you hope eventually the 10 year old would come to see her rape, pregnancy, and child as a blessing you have lost the argument. The overwhelming majority of people in this country are living in the real world. Come join us. It's actually pretty decent.


They don't care. They don't care about the fetus. If they did, then they'd be looking for better pre-natal and post-birth outcomes. They don't care about the mothers. OB care in red states is atrocious. And they certainly don't care about the kids -- see thoughts and prayers following regular school shootings. I'm not really sure what they care about.


They care about pressing their knees into everyone else’s necks, and money in their own pockets.

Dear lord, you must not care about women. Let me guess.. money is your god? You don't want to face reality. Stick your head in the sand until someone you know/love needs abortion, and then just go to a blue state to get the abortion?


I just don't see this as the most pressing issue right now across the US. Feeding one's family and sheltering one's family is much more important.

Until you need an abortion due to a miscarriage that may be a danger to your life, then you will just go to a blue state. Right? Thank goodness for blue states.

So if a woman who can't financially take time off to have a baby let alone raise a baby gets pregnant, you want to raise your taxes to support her to have her baby, right? After all, Feeding one's family and sheltering one's family is much more important than lower taxes. right?
