Let's just agree that these states are also the places where the hypocrisy is the strongest.

Just look at the facts: These are the places where you have to preserve the life of a fetus just because you can hear a heartbeat (heart is just a muscle sack that acts as a pump, nothing else), but you can freely shoot your neighbor, a fully gestated human, who has stumbled onto your yard.

You have to remind parents not to have drunken sex with their children, but you cannot let LGBTQ people have a book store or a unisex bathroom.

Not even.

Women have been forced to carry dead fetuses, which will kill them from sepsis as it starts to decompose.

And the people who voted for it will deny it ever happening, until something similar happens to someone they know. Then they'll cry on the street corners about how unfair it is.

Remember: Scientific studies have shown that many conservatives are cold hearted and stupid, by demonstrating a clear correlation between conservative thinking/behaviour and lower than average cognitive ability and empathy. And literally every single one of them think they are a super genius and they think most people secretly share their political views.

btw isn't conservatism supposed to be about "everything is perfect as it is right now, don't make any changes"?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

It's about maintaining the status quo. Keeping the rich rich and the poor poor because "hey it's worked great so far!"

Alabama is full of gay sister touchers

[-] HornyOnMain@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

can you please not just be homophobic as like some epic own of the conservatives. Even if its supposed to be an ironic thing because conservatives would hate to be called gay, it just reads as normal homophobia.

Brain is just a nerve bag that makes decisions.

I'm strictly pro foetus killing, in case that makes it seem otherwise. Just think that's a poor rhetorical device.

Boobs are just fat bags that milky milky. But they've got soul, baby.

[-] peterg75@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Brain is just a nerve bag that makes decisions.

While this statement is true, what is also true is that the brain is the only organ we're unable to fully understand, replace (as in through organ donation), and it's what makes us sentient. This is why Row v. Wade had a specific fetal age up until which abortion is permitted. That age coincided with the age at which the brain is developed and the fetus becomes a child which could be delivered. Most of the red-state laws are restricting abortion after the heartbeat can be detected.

All I am saying is that it makes perfect sense, from the biological point of view, why the heart is one of the first major organs to develop: it's main job is to deliver nutrient-rich blood to all other organs so that they can develop as well. But despite that, its not the heart that makes us human, it's the brain.

I was raised around those good old traditional values like "do what you're told" and "a woman's value is caring for a family." Once I started thinking for myself and asking questions, I still struggled with all the "but they're killing living babies!" idea. Then one day it occurred to me - we don't determine death by when the heart stops, why would we decide it starts just because we hear a beat? Brain death determines death, wouldn't an appropriate level of brain activity determine life? I let go of a lot of baggage that day.

Precisely how many people have been full on ready to drunkenly bang their daughter, and were persuaded not to by a billboard?

[-] sci@feddit.nl 40 points 1 year ago

They were persuaded to rape their date instead.

[-] dns@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I like how there's an implication with a roadside billboard that they're driving home drunk as well.

It probably helped prevent a single rape, but that was because they live directly in front of the sign and saw it illuminated by lightning a day they were drunk.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Coincidentally, the exact same number of people who have been convinced to stop gambling by a giant casino billboard ad with a tiny 800 number at the bottom.

[-] copymyjalopy@lemmy.world 71 points 1 year ago

Back when this was posted on Reddit someone who worked in CPS chimed in. The short of it was: Yes , men raping their under age daughters is frighteningly common in some states and a common form of victimization of the girls that CPS handles.

Every time I see this sign I feel disgusted

[-] yopla@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

So... raping your date is ok ?

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Nah the daughter wanted it, he knows because he was drunk at the time.

Reminds me of the bible story about the daughter's that got their father drunk and had sex with him. I'm totally sure that's what happened and it wasn't the father raping his daughters then blaming them for it.

Only if you have a valid excuse - like being drunk apparently

[-] jzzvid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure there are still states in the US where a marriage liscense is basically just that. God I hate it here.

I honestly thought this was a don’t drink and drive campaign and was struggling trying to reason out why it said “not your date” as if it was ok to drive drunk with a date.

Having to put up a “Please don’t ride your children” sign is something I thought we reserved for hamsters

[-] QubaXR@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

And naturally for THIS billboard, they use a person of color as a model.

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

And they use white people to promote Juneteenth celebrations

[-] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This just raises more questions. Can the person this ad is aimed at even read? Is this ad seriously suggesting to rape his date as an alternative to raping his daughter?

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I remember one time driving through Oklahoma or Missouri in 04. 3 billboards in a row.. "Stop" 2nd "Take a BREAK" 3rd, "Don't ever shake a baby"

Why you need one let alone 3 is a disappointing reflection of reality.

[-] _g_be@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Unrelated but you just reminded me of that excellent movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, which I must now go rewatch
