It’s not about the morality of it. The point is cruelty and division. That’s all it ever is in this country.
Exactly. Christofascists are despicable.
it's always a out treating woman as cattle, its' sickening
I'm so glad we prevented all those abortions so the unwanted or unhealthy kids could instead die in more painful ways such as congenital defects, poverty and neglect. Virtue signalling is bad, unless it causes preventable suffering to children in which case apparently Supply-Side Jesus is all for it.
Remember the 10-year-old rape victim who had to travel out-of-state for an abortion, and poor Milo Evan Dorbert, who lived a short life of 99 minutes before dying painfully of Potter syndrome, which left him without functioning kidneys. There are many other rape victims and babies with invariably-fatal conditions who have needlessly suffered for political reasons.
Every downvote is one of them lurking among us.
Saving children. /s
Newsflash: The christofascist death cult doesn't care.
On an unrelated note, funeral home profits have notably increased in recent times...
Republicans love babies the same way Palpatine loves democracy.

Fta
The increase in deaths could partly be explained by the fact that more babies are being born in Texas. One recent report found that in the final nine months of 2022, the state saw nearly 10,000 more births than expected prior to its abortion ban – an estimated 3% increase.
It could also be partly explained by mothers being forced into carrying defective fetuses to term.
Like this mother: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/04/06/1168399423/a-good-friday-funeral-in-texas-baby-halos-parents-had-few-choices-in-post-roe-te
Weird how that happens when you restrict access to contraception and sex ed.
That's not weird, it's by design. Need more meat for the meat grinder, whether it's factory workers or soldiers
Yay! 3% more defective babies!
Has anyone ever considered that sometimes there's a very legitimate reason why some women decide to terminate a pregnancy?
is almost like they can't afford caring for a defective fetus with the joke that's USA health system
United Stupidity of America ⛪🙏🕍✝️
So the decision accomplished nothing. What a waste.
