Jesus Christ, Lemmy.
Jesus Christ,
LemmyChristofascists.FTFY. It’s not Lemmy’s fault that that’s what’s happening IRL!
I see that this is still trending, and I didn’t know who the artist was who modified this when I posted it (read: I didn’t make this), but better late than never.
The artist is Amanda Morley Miller.
Oh fuck that’s good. Oh man, there needs to be at work to describe something like this. Where it’s brilliant but deeply upsetting troubling and realistic at the same time.
Irreverent?
Flippant?
Do we have a community around culture jamming yet? We need this.
Thank you for sharing. That’s a rich article for topic hopping
Jesus. That’s almost as dark as the reality of things.

The comparison for forced birthers is a fraction of a percent to the amount of abortions procured year to year. I hate it, but they’re at least somewhat logically consistent there. Still reduces the quality of life for those that survive forced pregnancies drastically and risks permanent bodily harm. That’s where the hypocrisy shows on how much they value life imo. Raise them to suffer cuz “it’s God’s plan.”
I feel like risks permanent bodily harm is putting it lightly because pregnancy changes your body permanently even if everything goes “right” not to mention changes your brain permanently.
Sheesh 😬
Oof.
B^(
Is this God’s Will?
Only if it happens to someone else.
The evangelicals mostly say “yes”, but only because they don’t give a shit about women.
That’s not correct. They actively hate women and want them to die.
They don’t want them to die immediately, though.
They’re supposed to keep their mouth shut and push out babies until they die…
They want to go back to the days where life expectancy for women is to the “ripe old-age of died in childbirth”.
Don’t forget sandwiches!
no, this is loss.

I’m annoyed that I can’t see it.
What am I looking at?
I don’t think it’s displaying properly on my phone but I swear it looks like bad apple
Annoying ass dots on a screen.
Loss but ASCII.
It’s loss, but micro

Texas has over a 50% increase in maternal fatality rates.
Quit reminding me I need to leave this place.
We all do/should. I don’t know if it has gotten worse or if I have just started to realize how bad it actually is but, this state sucks in a lot of ways.
from 2 to 3 or from 100 to 150?
because one of them might as well be statistically insignificant
So many that there are statistics grouped by race and counted as “deaths per 10,000 live births”
Here’s an article with a graph. Given that the figures are measured per 100,000 live births, one would need to find how many births occurred in the state of Texas in the years graphed. I was able to find that exact figure for 2022 in a document from the CDC (on page 8) which comes out to 389,533. Since the overall Texas maternal mortality rate was about 28.5 per 100k births for that year (per the news article), the total number of mortalities would have been about 110.
If you want I could go find the figure for earlier years as well, but this should serve as a general ballpark the numbers are in. Keep in mind that the maternal mortality rate only factors in live births, so does not include any pregnancy complications involving an unviable fetus.
It looks like its something like 135 ish per year to 210 ish per year (its like 407 over a 3 year period) in texas with a dramatic increase in pregnancy-related fatalies among white and black women. Note that the avg increase over the same time nationwide is something like 11% (other states also implemented bans) so this is possibly wholly explainable with abortion bans.
Did CAD publish that himself? No, right?

I mean they’ve clearly seen it before, just asking if this version came from the same creator as the original. I wondered the same thing. Also, way to not answer the question in a very verbose way lol
If the CAD guy had made it himself it would have been icredibly darkly funny insightful and empathic. But turns out another guy had the incredible creativity and the skills to do it in a way that look almost as if it where original. Whoever it is still Kudos.
The original creator has accepted the meme treatment of his original comic, so I wouldn’t consider it beyond the pale for him to do a bit of self parody for a current political issue.
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering! I’m a bit disappointed he didn’t 🥲
No.
Pretty hard to “think of the children,” like Republicans keep demanding we do, when there are no children to give.
They’re erect when they think of children.
They just said “think about the children”, not “help the children”, or “feed the children”, or “protect the children”.
Just think about them. In which manner? It’s up to your liking and preferences.
While you’re thinking about them, throw in some prayers too.
Well that was fucking dark.
I forget that the original was also terribly sad, but my brain only processes it as a meme now.
Deservedly so
Funny and horrifying.
