This is what Republicans want for all of us.

If Republicans win the next election, they will institute a national abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest.

If you want to stop this, the only way to do so is to vote for Biden. I really hope people understand this.

Of course, now that the baby is out the pro-lifers say that they can both go die in a ditch

Is this what they want? Ruined lives? Fucking idiots.

And the nurse's comment on finding a 13 yr old pregnant? "What have you been doing?" For fucks sake, I hate the world.

An abortion is not something you should need to be able to afford. It's not a luxury, it's a (often necessary) medical procedure. So fucked up, all of this. I hope the family can achieve some semblance of happiness some day

Sounds like a Republican's dream

The baby's father is so proud he gave expensive cigars to all his fellow GOP congressmen.

I am embarrassed to be American

This is just completely disgusting. When everyone failed her the law wasn't even on her side. Say what you want about abortions in general, but the audacity that people have to make getting abortions under rape or complications political is just disgusting. My heart truly goes out to this little girl, and her family, but especially the little girl. I can't imagine the amount of life altering trauma she has gone through, and how this is going to affect her for the rest of her life. This shouldn't happen to anyone. What the fuck is wrong with people.

Wow that is some serious bullshit right there. For the rest of this girls life she is going to have to share custody with the man that raped her.

is it worth it Republicans?

To understand why this is happening, you have to go back in history to the end of the slave trade. When the ability to kidnap people from Africa and bring them back to enslave them was legally ended, the white enslavers realized that the only way they could keep slavery going was to force people to breed more slaves. Google that history. It is utterly abhorrent but necessary to understand where the Republican Party is coming from today.

Since the end of slavery, a certain contingent in the U.S. has never gotten over the fact that they couldn't legally have a sub-class of citizens that they could use for free or nearly-free labor. So they kept trying to find other ways to keep people oppressed, and they expanded that oppression beyond just black people and to any of the "less desirable" groups. Think not just Black people, but also Irish, immigrants, Appalachia. They pit these groups against one another because divided people are easier to control. But the goal is the same - have large groups of people poor for generations who have no other option but to work for slave wages and keep the people at the top very, very rich.

Slavery in the U.S. was a huge economic force, one that a certain contingent (the very wealthy) never got over losing. The next best thing was to create whole groups of people who are desperate enough to work for almost nothing. That's what we have in this country now. And it works best if those people are constantly putting out more children. That keeps them even more stuck and more desperate, and it keeps a steady supply of cheap labor coming.

It's no coincidence that they want abortion ended but also want to ensure those same people are continually subjected to sub-standard education, that those same people are "allowed" to send their kids to work (defeating years of progress through child labor laws), that those people are also unable to access higher education, government benefits, or virtually anything that could potentially make their lives better.

Makes me sick, fuck that hellhole of a country.
