And the far right are going to claim she's faking it like the disgusting people they are.

The thing the right fears most is the truth.
Which is why they are god believers
They fear not being in control. Whether it's control over others bodies or control over religion and government, or the fear of being a minority racial group, the one thing in common is they have to be the ones allowed to tell everyone else how to live.
My understanding of it (based on discussions with my mom) is that they don't fear the truth, they fear being wrong, because if they are wrong they then don't have an answer anymore and it is deeply uncomfortable.
The issue with this is that if you never acknowledge that you may be wrong, you can never learn.
They've been wrong for a very long time. They are still waiting for trickle down economic (reaganomics) to work. Its been decades and nothing close to trickle down has ever come to fruition.
Non-americans: trickle down is the idea that when we boost the profit of CEOs that money will "trickle down" to everyone else at the company. A laughable idea that has and will never work.
Ashley Brandt, a Dallas resident, said she was pregnant with twins but learned one had a fatal condition called acrania. The longer she carried it, the more it jeopardized the survival of her other twin.
oh my god....
I don't think you can be any more "pro life" than putting 2 other healthy people at risk to save the life of a baby that's going to die.
especially if it is a fetus and not a baby
Don't forget many "pro lifers" are in the same demographic as pro death penalty.
We're actually running out of spots in hell for hardworking Christians at this point. We're having to quadruple and octople stack souls together and it's a bit alarming. I've been having to repeat a ton of times to the incredulous that feeling like you're doing the right thing and doing the right thing, [aren't the same thing].
They seem genuinely shocked and confused, which leaves me feeling leery if they're actually idiots or evil. Hanlon's Razor says to always assume ignorance before malice.
You guys gotta do something or all your old people are gonna end up cooking.
You would not believe how many "leftists" I've told to stop using slurs or misgendering me, only to be told "but I didn't meeeeeean it, so I don't need to apologise"
They shouldn't do that but that isn't relevant or of the same scale. And yes I do make a point to not misgender someone but I am positive that I am going to make mistakes.
My sister-in-law is trans. I call her she. She is an amazing aunt and my kids love her.
Was the video not in the article? I skimmed and watched that top one but saw it nowhere?
Does anyone have it? Depending on how the person comes across in the moment it occurred the shock impact of these events is often useful at getting through to people.
Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.
It's so gross and infuriating.
This is NOT a men vs. women issue. It's a conservatives vs. sane people issue. Joe Biden didn't take away abortion access and Amy Coney Barrett did.
I kinda disagree. Patriarchal laws and social norms hurt men as well. In this case, I'm sure the men in her life were negatively affected (not to the same degree of course).
Just another Monday
Even though you're right, I think this sentiment minimizes the horrific things the American christian right is doing.
I keep seeing multiple variations of this comment on every single lemmy post about christian conservatives. Idk if it's like an astroturfing thing or what, but it normalizes these kind of fascist acts. We should be shocked. We should be surprised and outraged and insulted. The minute we're not is when it becomes normal. And we know that's dangerous af because we're already watching it happen.
Have you SEEN an anti-abortion rally? LOTS of women.
Men are the ones making the laws. And they have no idea about the biology. Take the politician from Ohio for example, who suggested that an ectopic pregnancy should be reimplanted into the uterus.
I am surprised these Texas savages did not lock her up.
Texas will soon be banning women from vomiting in public. That’ll solve that issue.
The cruelty of it is the point.
But what's the point of the cruelty? ~Cherri
Power flex, mostly
(Totally unrelated, but I keep seeing you around and I'm curious about why you sign your name. Is your account shared? Feel free to ignore if you don't want to answer Im just curious)
TL;DR for anyone else in the thread: multiple people share an account and sign who's typing at the moment. The reason they share an account is that they share a brain.
Any doctor who complies with this ban is a worthless piece of shit. Not as bad as the subhumans who wrote it and voted for it, but pretty fucking close.
"Physicians who violate Texas’s abortion laws can lose their medical licenses, face up to 99 years in prison or incur fines of at least $100,000, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights"
You wouldn't have to deal with any decision as hard as this. How can you say a doctor is complicit? They're likely just doing their best then a law gets put in place threatening life in prison.
Unless you're put in that position, you have no room to say that shit.
