Yes, I’m unapologetically pro-life. … I am fine with a federal law
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your “moderate” Republican candidate.
I don’t usually wish for this, but I hope she gets an ectopic pregnancy and is forced to carry to term
Realistically she’d just fly herself to NY
I mean, that IS moderate for a Republican. The more typical party view is Make America Handmaid’s Tale.
Stockholm Syndrome is the only explanation for women continuing to support Republicans
Um, what about the belief that an unborn fetus has a soul? That’s a belief that tens of millions of American women sincerely hold…
Religious beliefs are irrelevant outside of the personal life.
Most people don’t even follow their religion RAW. Bunch of munchkins running bullshit homebrew rulings.
It’s a belief they have only because they were told to believe it. I can’t respect that.
It’s stupid and completely unfounded in any medical science regarding when the Fetus is actually a living human being.
Show me a woman who claims she genuinely would see a fetus in a jar and an infant newborn as equally worth saving in a crisis and I will show you a woman who swears she’d have totally been a punk rock abolitionist if she was around in the South in the antebellum years.
Also it literally isn’t sincere belief, the Bible has exactly one thing to say about abortion, and that’s how to perform one via medicine.
God gaveth unto the Jews, the pill.
No it’s not.
They genuinely believe that only bad people need abortions.
Because that’s proven to be such a winning topic.
What is mind boggling is that either her or Trump will be the next candidate and it still isn’t a sure win for the democrats.
But, tbh, looking at politics in the EU nowadays and I feel ashamed of making fun of the USA in the past. We are outfascisting you again, it seems.
Trump would be a sure win for the Dems… Hailey… eh… maybe not
Talk to Hillary about a sure win.
Nate Silver was telling us to ignore those polls
Better than orange can still be worse than ok
“Vote for me, I’m a horrible person too!”
It’s always the failed abortions that are against abortion, weird huh?
You ever get the feeling that certain people are anti-abortion simply because they want neglected, sad children to grow up and become ignorant, angry adults that will vote to give sociopaths, narcissists and psychopath power?
The Dominionists say yes…
The anti-abortion sentiment is very tightly bound up in the white nationalist / supremacist narrative. A lot of the same folks who say they want to ban women from having abortions are the same ones who endorse sterilizations, harden their hearts toward public healthcare for minorities, and scream all the live-long-day about Anchor Babies.
The theory of the anti-abortion activist is always that the wrong fetuses are getting terminated. This ties back to old blood libels against Jews, Satanic Panics, and other conspiracy theories that orbit the “Great Replacement” Theory of lower-than-average white replacement level procreation.
And in the last decade, as domestic maternity rates have fallen and hysteria around Arabs, Latinos, Africans, and the Dreaded China Menace has peaked, we’re seen a lot more Scientific Racism that gears itself around the need for a revitalization of the White Race as a prelude to some kind of future apocalyptic global struggle for power.
I think Republicans are afraid of abortion because deep down they know that the only reason they’re here is because abortion wasn’t easily available. Gotta keep the garbage coming.

This kind of rhetoric doesn’t help resolve anything.
Talking on the Internets won’t solve much no matter what you say.

Societies self-monitor the people in them.
Even if you don’t win, pushing back against hatred is always the right thing to do.

Depends: if something did not get any attention - than push back is contra-productive, since it might just create more attention. If something is already getting than pushing back might be helpful in the bigger picture.
It’s not a matter of getting attention or not, it’s a matter of challenging the commenter and their opinion on the subject.
The assumption is that it will get attention since it’s on/in a public forum.
There is almost no way to convince people with radical opinions in a written discussion. So the push back is not really useful to challenge the opinion of op but of people less radical or neutral who are also reading the comment. But if the comment did not get any traction, there might be a downside in engaging by getting more attention to the comment. And you don’t know which side of the argument people in the end will chose - so I would just leave it alone. If I’m not in mood for some flaming.

That is an assumption, and not a fact.
Also, pushing back sends a signal to others in the same Society that there are others that believe the same way as they do, and invites them to push back as well. A society self signals to the members inside of it as a method of forming the meta opinions of that Society.
Hatred should always be pushed back against, no matter how effective the pushback ends up being, and regardless of the aggravation/cost of doing so.
I wasn’t trying to solve anything. You can’t fix stupid.

That much is obvious. ‘Opinion masturbating’ in a public square is a thing, apparently.

It helps identify individuals who don’t care about making the world a better place, via resolving issues.
I wouldn’t say it’s against a rule, but kinda messed up to imply someone was basically garbage since birth.
I wouldn’t say it’s against a rule
Seems like a razor’s edge that they’re walking on.
Psycho shithead.
Don’t worry everyone, when not voting and protest voting lets her or Trump into office to do it, the white left will be here to remind us why we should spend energy being mad at the Democrats about it.
If she ends up being the first woman ever to be president my head is going to explode.
I do not think she can put populist trump.
Just say and do anything to get that sweet, sweet power
Well, that’ll at least going to earn her the respect and appreciation of every conservative voter, but it’s must not evil enough to pull votes from Trump. She needs to be even more sinister.
I think she would make a fine Presidentress. Seems like she has a few great ideas up her sleeve about how to get this country out of the mess that Joe got us into.
Sure thing, bucko.
