I am always amazed any women are Republicans. Except maybe the moms for liberty crowd (aka klanned karenhood).

That is as perfect a description of Mom's for Liberty as could be imagined.

Meet New Jersey state Sen. Edward Durr, a truck driver-turned-politician who has a habit of saying the quiet parts out loud.
"A woman does have a choice! Keep her legs closed," Durr wrote in a 2020 Facebook post, in which he also called a pro-choice woman an "idiot." He also "liked" a post that called for "spaying women like dogs."
Yeah that was wild to read. I can't imagine hating anything as much as the average conservative hates women. I feel bad for any woman unfortunate enough to grow up with a father like that. It can't be easy.
I can imagine it.
I hate the average conservative at least as much as the average conservative hates women, minorities, non-Christians, and poor people.
Because the intolerant cannot be tolerated.
But south park once compared being intolerant of intolerance to being like a Nazi, so checkmate you fool, you unbelievable cretin. I am very smart.
If taking up this battle makes me a fool, then so be it.
I don't seek approval from believable cretins anyway.
I suspect I was born defective; too sensitive towards and with too much affinity for justice. And possessing a wanton disregard of my physicality in defense of the truth.
So be it.
They pretend to support hypothetical exceptions to abortion bans, which for the most part do not apply in actual reality.
I'm glad they pointed this out. Many Republican abortion bans will say they don't apply if the women's life is at risk, but they word it so vaguely, raise the penalties so high, and put the doctor's freedom in the hands of a jury to determine if the woman was "dying enough." The result is that women aren't given life saving abortions until they are actively dying.
Even if the fetus has such severe abnormalities that there's zero chance of a "baby" at the end of the pregnancy, the woman will be told that she needs to risk her life and carry it to term because "pro life."
Yup, or if you look at rape exemptions it's the same. The victim is required to identify their rapist with harsh penalties for a false identification.
Particularly terrible when you think of the position this puts a child in with their family members. Further, those laws often require victims to submit to a rape screening, something that's hard to pull off given how underreported rape is.
And of course if there's any question the legal system will prevent an abortion forcing a birth. You can't wind back time and cases taking a year or more to resolve are extremely common.
An Alabama woman was imprisoned for endangering her fetus. She gave birth in a jail shower
But over the next seven months of incarceration for “chemical endangerment” in the Etowah county detention center (ECDC), Caswell was denied regular access to prenatal visits, even as officials were aware her pregnancy was high-risk due to her hypertension and abnormal pap smears, according to a lawsuit filed on Friday against the county and the sheriff’s department. She was also denied her prescribed psychiatric medication and slept on a thin mat on the concrete floor of the detention center for her entire pregnancy.
In October, when her water broke and she pleaded to be taken to a hospital, her lawyer says, officials told her to “sleep it off” and “wait until Monday” to deliver – two days away.
During nearly 12 hours of labor, staff gave her only Tylenol for her pain, the suit says, allegedly telling her to “stop screaming”, to “deal with the pain” and that she was “not in full labor”. Caswell lost amniotic fluid and blood and was alone and standing up in a jail shower when she ultimately delivered her child, according to the complaint and her medical records. She nearly bled to death, her lawyers say.
So, jailed for endangering a fetus but not given prenatal care while in jail and forced to give birth in a jail shower when her labor signs were ignored - all of which actually endangers the fetus they are so concerned about. They don't care about the fetus, they just hate women and want to punish them for having sex. It couldn't be clearer.
You're off a few points...since she was at (or near) full term, it was no longer a fetus...it was an actual child. That being the case, the only real way to protect it was by assaulting a trans person or with thoughts and prayers.
They need to keep Boebert’s legs closed and her shirt on
no, the trouble is she is now keeping her legs closed.
she was fine until she got it into her head to be a politician.
Umm. Well, she’s got her hand wrapped around a hard cock in front of children in public with her tits hanging out… so I’m not sure how accurate your opinion is.
You know what they'd have called him in Nazi Germany?
Herr Durr.
Fascist.
Good good, his name is Durr the writers are clearly still on strike
Durr, dduuuhhh Durr.. Durr 🥴 We should make him synonymous with idiocy.
