I’ve already seen this on Facebook, unspoilered. BTW, does anyone else think this was done as a distraction from the insurrection trials? ---

Conservatives are absolutely not pro-life. They’re pro-birth. Once the child is born, it can die for all they care. ---

I’m not sure who he wants hanging from the gallows, to be honest, the parent who left the gun for the kid, or the kid who murdered their sibling. From what he said, I’m assuming it’s the toddler he wants swinging from their neck. ---

They most certainly are not pro-birth. They’re pro-suffereing by the underpeople (as they see them). Banning abortion is just the quickest way to see more suffering. ---

The words of George Carlin seem particularly apt: “Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.” ---

I take comfort knowing that thousands of people who would cheer the regression of America died choking in their ventilators, still refusing to believe COVID was serious, while their wives begged for money on Facebook. ---

Just another data point. An undocumented pregnant woman is not entitled to nutrition benefits or prenatal care and will be responsible for her hospital bill when she gives birth to the brand new citizen that will be vilified for being an anchor baby. Denying the vessel food and medical care doesn’t really show much caring for the oh so precious fetus she’s carrying. ---
