...from the President of the United States: WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF

Here is a similar view from one Harold-Browne, “who was among evangelical leaders who laid hands upon and prayed over President Donald Trump in the Oval Office in 2017”:

He differs with the view that this is a hoax produced by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and blames it instead on a hoax produced by The Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network. The objective in any case is to produce a fake vaccine that will kill people, reduce the population, and enable the creation of one World Government, which the climate change hoax apparently failed to do.

It’s a creative combination of the conspiracy that COVID-19 is a scam, that climate change is a scam, promoting the anti-vax conspiracy, and promoting the “one world government” conspiracy, and disparaging charitable and medical institutions. It pretty much covers the whole gamut of lunatic right-wing conspiracy theories, although I suspect that Harold-Browne also has some interesting views on what really happened on 9/11, Obama’s birthplace, and alien abductions. I should see if he offers a newsletter.

Yes, he’s in Florida.

Assholes like Dave Yost, the attorney general of Ohio, and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, have suddenly deemed abortions a non-essential health-care.

I don’t know what to say to this. In some ways. In some ways it is on paper. The main thing is that the effect hasn’t taken hold, so how could you tell? 6-8 weeks at home on the gov’t dole will jack up the debt, but if things get back to relative normal in a manageable time frame, it might end up not amounting to more than that. Worse case scenarios, well we kind of have to wait and see.

That’s a lot of crazy all rolled up into one. I guess there is a powerful need for denial in some folks? It is too bad though- it will be hard to deny when grandma is coughing up blood and drowning on her own snot, though probably not impossible to blame on liberals.

Really?

The disease will be the fault of godless liberals, just like hurricanes and whatnot, and grandma is collateral damage in the punishment doled out by God. And anyway, she’s in Heaven getting her just reward.

The playbook already exists for blaming everybody else, even when it makes no God damned sense.

Denial is never hard for these folks. Epistemic closure is a scary beast.

Abortions are “essential health-care”?

Someone please explain to me why this person is not immediately confined to a mental institution for his own safety, and especially for the safety of others that he is going to kill?

This woman nearly died because a Catholic hospital was too reluctant to perform an abortion.

That’s a sad story. Doesn’t show that abortions are “essential health care”

Are you saying that for her it was not essential?

You personally don’t believe that abortion is basic health care? You require proof?

(wish I got back sooner so this wouldn’t look like a pile on, but he was addressing me, anyway) It’s not too uncommon for life-theatening complications to occur during pregnancy, that yeah, might require an abortion.

Sending old folk out to die is the new essential healthcare amongst pro-lifers. Get with the program Trumpkateers.
I want to see those churches Packed come Easter.

EVERYONE should do their part, and die for their grandkids!

You’d rather that women die from problem pregnancies because abortions have been deemed non-essential? How about rape victims who got pregnant and can’t have abortions because it’s non-essential?

Christ, just don’t fucking respond.

manson’s not a troll, but he’s just not qualified to talk about this issue and let’s just accept his position as an uninformed one and move on.

Yes, when it comes to issues involving women there’s no point in engaging.

Ah, so the git simply prefers women not exist in the first place except as a place to park his dick.

It always bothers me when folks try to justify abortions with saving the life of the mother or aborting because of rape. Fuck that. It’s her body and she does not want it to be used at that time for growing a fetus. Period. That should be all the explanation anyone needs.

So yes, it is a necessary medical procedure that should be performed as soon as possible.

Or having to use that as an entry level explanation for certain individuals - a road I was hoping not to have to go down, in the first place.

C’mon, Grandma! Go with the floe!
