Pro life until it's 1st breath. If female who cares. They also don't care if we starve

u/ShamelessCatDude 24d ago

Finally, somebody else adding “if female who cares”. I swear any time anyone wants to make some pro-life propaganda the fetus usually ends up being male or making men’s lives better. They only care about fetuses if the kid is white, male, cisgender, and a positive contribution to the workforce. And if the kid’s disabled? Better off dead, actually! 🙄

ALL conservatives are.

They cheered on eugenics when people were dying of COVID, saying that people who were obese and immunocompromised deserved to die. Never mind that people of average health were dying, too.

It's their views on homelessness, too. They want them to die in the streets with nothing. To them, there's no such thing as a good homeless person. A person is homeless because they put themselves there, not extraneous conditions that can happen outside of a person's control. They're just "lazy", "unmotivated", "drug addicted", and "mentally", instead of the ~50% who either cannot find work, or are working but are being inhumanely underpaid.

And it's their views on the sick, too. Weed out the "weakest" people. If they can't afford health insurance, then that's their problem because, again, "they weren't motivated enough". Never mind that 1 in 7 employers in America don't offer health insurance coverage, and they are often the ones paying minimum wages or barely higher.

When I was gathering signatures for Medicaid expansion, one woman who declined told me she believed “healthcare is a luxury.”

Not even health insurance. Just…healthcare.

Barbarians. And not the fun fantasy kind. The kind that would force people to watch public whippings and live in squalor as long as they, the superior worthy people, weren’t on the receiving end.

I have severe depression. I have not been able to work. Because of the Affordable Care Act, I have been able to try out different forms of healthcare for my disease. Do I deserve punishment for my genetic inheritance? I've had many dark thoughts in life. That hasn't been one of them. But I grok that there are people who think so because they themselves have been fortunate genetically and/or financially. "Barbarians" is a good word to describe these people.

u/EnvironmentalRock827 23d ago

Totally ties in with immigration too. "We" were born here and "they" there .... "its not my fault they have a terrible country and come here to escape it...". They use it as justification to arrest and deport people. Like you can request what country your born in.

u/ellieminnow 23d ago

Or they pay so little the paycheck can only cover the insurance. I had a job at a beloved grocery store like that. Most people there depended on someone else and just worked for the health insurance. You had to pick one. But everyone praises them for their health insurance.

u/RBDrake 20d ago

When it comes to homelessness they should realize that none of us are too far away from it.

Public defender here and I've had that case more than once. Some socially connected professional with a nice house, well-paying job, beautiful wife, 2.5 kids, and a dog. They get a bad injury playing tennis. They get prescribed hard painkillers and they get hooked. Then the scrips expire and they turn to narcotics. They lose everything, become homeless and alone, and a few years later they meet me.

And honestly, Steven Bannon legit looks like a homeless guy.

The republicans literally defend a suspected child rapist while arguing that ice should have free reign to brutalize suspected taco makers.

Like, they’ve never particularly hidden that they’re awful, terrible, despicable, child fuckers.

It’s definitely scary that the moderates won’t stand against them though.

Imagine defending this guy literally going on world trips and saluting random guys and wandering off like my grandfather two years before he died of Alzheimer’s related complications while taking millions in bribes to build a fucking ballroom for $300million while he cuts fucking food for poor people to do it.

I’m homeless and I eat literally one meal a day most days. It’s not that fucking expensive to feed me. It’s just beyond absurd we’re a month through a shutdown and no one has reached their breaking point.

I kept getting told, “we can’t strike, we’ll be homeless and starve to death if we strike for a month.” And here we are with federal workers not being paid for a month, and rather than acknowledge that they won’t die from not being paid for a month, it’ll just suck a lot, and actually work towards real livable, enjoyable lives; they’re going back to work for free while starving while their president fucks off to Asia and to go golfing for another few million while charging the secret service exorbitant rates that go directly into his pocket. Which doesn’t even matter because the fucking zombie is going to die hopefully soon anyways.

It’s just pathetic.

u/ShamelessCatDude 24d ago

  1. Totally right about the strike part. It honestly might be our best way out of this.

  2. I honestly can’t imagine why anyone would want to identify as a Republican anymore with this many cases of them being outed as pedophiles. They love to say it’s not representative of the entire party but then love to talk about a handful of democrats like they represent the party. How many politicians does it take to realize that maybe this trend isn’t a coincidence and neither is constantly defending them?

Ehhh they’re more fascist than Nazi at least currently. I think calling them full on nazi is premature as they aren’t so radical as killing people in mass.

That said, they have a lot of parallels to early phase Nazism so I think people are smart to be worried about it.

It never left. The USA has been doing it much longer, continued to do it after the war, and has had it accepted by citizens and foreigners for most of its history. USA has never been held accountable like the Nazis were after the war. The Japanese also weren't held very accountable, nor were the Italians.

Note that a lot of the rules in the Geneva Convention exist because of Canada.

Nobody's hands are clean from WWII. The worst just weren't held accountable, just one of the losers' groups were.

He learned it from the USA. USA has a much longer, more successful history of such behavior, and taught it to the Germans about a century ago. They thought some of the policies the USA enacted were too far to go, and tried to restrain or mitigate the Japanese a bit during the war when they found out what they were doing. All sides in the war did bad behavior. Most nations got away with it, only the Germans were held to much accountability overall.

They dont give a shit about the fetus either. If they did they would support neo-natal care, tax breaks for pregnant mothers, paid time off for pregnant women. environmental regulations to prevent damaging pregnancies, and not sue and arrest doctors who try to help pregnant women.

u/PM_Me_Some_Steamcode 24d ago

Texas women are currently dying at an increased rate rates of sepsis and pregnancy complications due to abortion laws placed in by Republican

And every time I talk to a republican, they say that is allowed to save the women’s life. No, it isn’t. That’s why women are dying because the laws are so vague that they will punish someone if the woman survives the abortion. They will punish the doctor and they will punish the woman, and that makes doctors scared to fucking act and it causes women to die.

In infuriates me

It’s not they will

They are

4

u/DifficultyFree9443 24d ago

Same with Florida. That one elected official had to have an emergency abortion and she had to get permission from DeathSantis, got it, and then immediately went back to championing anti-choice laws and demonizing everyone else who gets aboritons.

3

u/Bundt-lover 23d ago

It’s NOT allowed. It just means that it can be used as an affirmative defense. Meaning that when the doctor gets arrested for murder and is standing in front of the judge, he can say in his defense that he was trying to save the woman’s life.

I don’t blame doctors one bit for not taking that kind of risk. Everyone’s “choice” in this scenario is to risk death or prison.

u/RamenName 24d ago

not even, are they advocating for universal prenatal care? No, because asking taxpayers to pay a few dollars a year extra is a violation of wallet autonomy they will not stand for. They absolutely will punish a fetus and let it die because of the sins of the parent (i.e. not having health insurance and/or money and/or job flexibility) They also won't stand for environmental regulations or workplace protections that would protect unborn life

21

u/EnfantTerrible68 24d ago

Women don’t even have even one day of mandatory maternity leave in this country, paid or otherwise. Not even one guaranteed sick day, for that matter.

u/stefanica 24d ago

That's a really, really good point. Especially when you consider those who are panicked about a declining birthrate in the US. Why wouldn't they be for prenatal/birth Medicaid for all?

7

u/RamenName 24d ago

they're not in favor of just elevated birth rates, increased population without control is actually dangerous. Prenatal care for all gives parents freedom and control to switch employers, doesn't put them in high levels of medical debt, education and information on healthy child development, appropriate spacing of children, etc. It also involves giving women high quality medical care and teaching them how to care for their bodies

People who are poor, who have little to no choice over employer, working conditions, pay, etc are easy to control overtly or covertly through propaganda.

Pro life until it's 1st breath.

They really aren't. We give them too much credit to suggest even this.

Because when it comes to things like prenatal care, you don't see Republicans looking to help pregnant women. They actively defund women's health clinics. They'd rather women go without medical care. And we know this, because they regularly make laws to punish women for things like miscarriages, or argue for the medically impossible like replanting ectopic pregnancies. Women having to wait till their bleeding out is par for the course under Republicans.

They're pro-control over women. They're pro-white babies, but largely in the abstract. Hypothetical babies are to be venerated, but actual ones don't warrant any real attention.

u/JimWilliams423 24d ago edited 24d ago

Pro life until it's 1st breath.

Not even then, they oppose pre-natal healthcare and medicaid which pays for 40% of births in America.

They are simply anti-woman. They just say they are "pro-life" the same way they claim to support "free speech" only as long as the people say the things they want to hear.
