At least the babies that would've been aborted due to serious birth defects got to experience the joy of life, specifically life filled with suffering and agony, for the a few minutes/days they survived

I'm sure they would be soo grateful to the fucking braindead assholes that made this happen

That's just what you think, babies with anencephaly can't feel anything

[-] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That's so uncanny. I'm now a firm believer that this is what the uncanny valley evolved for.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 9 points 4 months ago

This is real, that's the human life they're trying to save by preventing abortion. This kid can't see, can't hear, can't feel. Very poor prognosis for this kid.

They all die, it's so pointless. Antichoicers should be forced to explain to a pregnant 12-year-old incest victim why they have to have their father's genetic mutation.

I do not understand. If the mama hurts the baby to abort it herself, she is also in wrong, no?

I read other and im confused. I'm not an American and I'm not aware what the pro lifers want but if it's a medical problem, shouldn't the mamas get to decide what they want to do? I though that was default in 21st century.

Clearly those dead babies didn't have enough gumption. Should have just pulled themselves out of the womb by their bootstraps and gotten a job

Some of the most successful people on earth have a thriving business and achieve financial independence before they’re even born.

If the first thing you do is nurse after you pop out, you’re already behind.

This shouldn't be a surprise because many of the pregnancies that would have been terminated were nonviable.

A pro-life person would argue that aborted pregnancies should count as infant mortality and therefore the rate has dropped precipitously.

There are no "pro-life" people, just anti-choice. Or pro-forced-birth if you prefer.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

They could argue that. It would be a completely fucking asinine argument, but that doesn't stop them.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

I read an idiotic comment on an article about this that said something along the lines of: "what is not mentioned is the amount of babies saved because of not being aborted."

[-] Damage@feddit.it 13 points 4 months ago

With all the data that should be easy to compute

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I think something worth considering is that pro-lifers were already counting abortions at any stage as 'infant mortality', so they probably don't see an issue with this news.

No see when it happens as a result of our maliciously horrible decision making it's god's plan.

You didn't expect us to ever own up to our own evil decisions did you?

Same folks who insist they're protecting the unborn won't do shit about the 647,000 lead based water lines because fuck you.

[-] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

"Congenital anomalies, which are the leading cause of infant death, also increased in Texas but not the rest of the US."

Just in case anybody was wondering

[-] tearsintherain@leminal.space 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Think they're so self-righteous, in reality just cruel and evil.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 6 points 4 months ago

They absolutely do not give one single fuck. It's almost entirely about the culture war and keeping a fanatical base frothing mad at everyone but their team so they can continue to hold power and be as legally corrupt as they want.

[-] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

They don't care if kids die, they care if sex and reproduction happen in a way they don't like

Thank you for providing the context! Some people get their understanding of the news from memes alone, making society worse.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Sharp rise in syphilitic pregnancies. Congenital syphilis subjects a kid to some brutal handicaps from day one. And in a state like Texas, where Medicaid is made deliberately difficult to access and health care is obscenely expensive, it can easily be a death sentence.

So, anyway, Right-To-Life hooray!

Imagine how the gun ban will go!
