    I’ll just never understand how they look at abortion as murder of a human and then commit a genocide against some brown people somewhere else. Literal demons.

    See there’s a difference between them having a life saving medical treatment or their daughter having a unplanned vacation vs a minority or poor person getting abortion.

    this is one of their few opportunities for virtue signaling so when you pull the rug out and highlight hypocrisy it’s very upsetting to the mental gymnast

    we’re supposed to vote for shit that doesn’t make sense and enjoy the many asterisks for special cases! these are the “loophole” people after all

    Great “Dear republican women” meme, reaching many here in the fediverse? Or are we indulging in purely performative righteousness?

    Living in poverty in America with children is a fate worse than death. Abortion is mercy in a dystopia run by pedofile patriarchal narcissist who wish to enslave us all

    A ‘business’ contact that is on a social media that I have to use for work, posted essentially the opposite of this, claiming that none of these are abortions, and if your provider says that they are, that you just need to find another provider. Challenge here is that none of the providers are willing to take the risk…

      My conservative grandma who votes R every time because of abortion had an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy. When my mother was pregnant with me at fifteen, she offered her an abortion.

          She would never acknowledge the fact that she wanted me aborted, so it’s not something I’ve heard justified. This is a family tree defined by sexual violence, so there are a lot of topics which exist in that liminal space.

          Republican women live in a world that is governed by fear and control. Abortion being an option removes that aspect of fear. There is something in it that works the same way a “kink” does, that if one follows the rules and takes the hurt, everything works out in the end. Why would you take out the hurt/is it actually a feasible option to take out the hurt?

          But to actually answer your question, asking her the question would just not get a response.

      I’ve read that conservatives model the world as “strict rules that have exceptions made on a case by case basis”. That maybe works if you’re in a small village. Smarter people realize that doesn’t scale and you should write better rules in the first place.

        Oh but it does scale: Abortions are forbidden with the following exceptions:

        • The carrying mother requests one.
        • The carrying mother is in no condition to express her will and her pregnancy puts her life in danger, in which case we can refer to consent forms she would have already filled covering such cases, doctors and her family).

    You underestimate how crazy fundamentalists are. For them, it’s worth dying if it saves the fetus, because for them a fetus is a living and breathing child.

    Won’t work on them unless they’re actually in the process of dying.

    Conservatives don’t care about being warned about things. They only care when those things happen directly to them and they have to actively deal with the consequences.

    Remember seeing some pristine examples of this during COVID. Conservatives in the process of dying in the hospital and then start begging for help.
