It’s not about the morality of it. The point is cruelty and division. That’s all it ever is in this country.
Exactly. Christofascists are despicable.
it's always a out treating woman as cattle, its' sickening
I'm so glad we prevented all those abortions so the unwanted or unhealthy kids could instead die in more painful ways such as congenital defects, poverty and neglect. Virtue signalling is bad, unless it causes preventable suffering to children in which case apparently Supply-Side Jesus is all for it.
Remember the 10-year-old rape victim who had to travel out-of-state for an abortion, and poor Milo Evan Dorbert, who lived a short life of 99 minutes before dying painfully of Potter syndrome, which left him without functioning kidneys. There are many other rape victims and babies with invariably-fatal conditions who have needlessly suffered for political reasons.
Every downvote is one of them lurking among us.
Indeed
lurks ominously
Feel free to explain to us how a higher infant death rate which can be correlated with harsher abortion laws is a good thing.
Republicans love babies the same way Palpatine loves democracy.
...Republicans also love democracy the same way Palpatine loves democracy.
Saving children. /s
Newsflash: The christofascist death cult doesn't care.

The increase in deaths could partly be explained by the fact that more babies are being born in Texas. One recent report found that in the final nine months of 2022, the state saw nearly 10,000 more births than expected prior to its abortion ban – an estimated 3% increase.
Weird how that happens when you restrict access to contraception and sex ed.
That's not weird, it's by design. Need more meat for the meat grinder, whether it's factory workers or soldiers
It could also be partly explained by mothers being forced into carrying defective fetuses to term.
Like this mother: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/04/06/1168399423/a-good-friday-funeral-in-texas-baby-halos-parents-had-few-choices-in-post-roe-te
Yay! 3% more defective babies!
Has anyone ever considered that sometimes there's a very legitimate reason why some women decide to terminate a pregnancy?
is almost like they can't afford caring for a defective fetus with the joke that's USA health system
I feel like the focus should now be finding ways to treat babies and children with genetic defects and whatnot, not letting people kill them again.
But hey, that makes me cruel, mean, and a crusader of death, I hear.
You mean treat genetics defects like the ones detailed in the article? Where the babies couldn't breathe because of the defect, the hemispheres of their brain didn't separate properly and there was no hope of life? How about ones where their brain stem is exposed and they'll never live? Or the ones where the brain never formed at all? It would be great if we could find cures and treatment for these things. But it's pretty damn hard to treat something so tremendously wrong when the babies die within days to hours.
It does, actually. If these women weren't forced to give birth to non-viable fetuses, those fetuses wouldn't become dead babies.
Edit: Also, even if I agreed with you, we would need to have those treatments for genetic defects available before we force people to have babies.
I don't support rape, so I don't support any form of forced birth
Ah, so you're pro-choice then.
I don't think anyone supports rape, but it happens anyway.
