And the repugs will do nothing to help raise those unwanted babies.

I forget which Republican it was that said it, but in 2021, after the abortion bounty bill became news,when asked about what would happen to the unwanted babies born, he was real casual suggesting maybe some of them would be adopted.

They never had a plan.

Of course not! It was never about the babies, it was about punishing women who, in their minds, "should have kept their legs closed."

Even though most women who get abortions are already married with kids. How dare a married woman have sex with her husband.

u/Recent_Obligation276 Aug 28 '24

Then it’s about taking the child from the husband, who owns the wife, in their eyes.

Time to go back to the old nickname, Yall-qaeda.

One step further

They never gave a fuck about abortion (truly). It's just. Way to try and turn complex politics into a binary issue for religious people, who vote

u/ronniewhitedx Aug 27 '24

It's not REAALLLLLY about that tho, is it? It's about getting population numbers up in order to compete in labor with China and India. It's been something that's repubs disguise as Christian values and something Dems have quietly been funding for a while. It's actual insanity.

u/IdRatherBeGaming94 Aug 27 '24

Ding. Ding. Ding. We have the correct answer right here.

u/ronniewhitedx Aug 27 '24

That's how you get a country full of sociopaths... Like China and India. Don't blame the people I blame the governments for allowing this to be an economy.

The best part for them is that they are not just playing god - they are god. They get to choose the punishment they believe he would choose, then apply it.

u/MelancholyArtichoke Aug 28 '24

Everything they do is punishment for something they think is sinful. It's vindictive as fuck.

u/Vellichorosis Aug 27 '24

Someone asked our state Gov if he was going to fund foster care more to make up for not allowing abortion. He said no. Like literally just no, because apparently he didn't think it would be nesscary despite our state's abysmal record with this shit.

Meanwhile it's nearly impossible to adopt in the Netherlands.

Almost like, if they would reverse that bill and send a bit access here, they'd do more for those babies than they ever have.

u/Kappappaya Aug 27 '24

It's about their "values" that consist of whatever, but it may never be questionned.

u/HellishChildren Aug 27 '24

It's about what their donors are paying them for.

Pro life until the inconvenience

“Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.”

God I miss George Carlin.

u/StlnHppyHrz Aug 27 '24

I've been saying this to anyone willing to listen for YEARS! It's not rocket science for fucks sake! The hypocrisy and idiocy is aggravating if not confounding. They whine about 'libs virtue-signaling' when all they do is that themselves. Typical.

u/kamiar77 Aug 27 '24

Pro birth because the preborn never complain or want anything.

u/TemperatureTop246 my face hurts Aug 27 '24

hell no, they don't even have jobs! Why would we help someone who doesn't have a job, and just stares at you blankly when you tell them to go look for work? Lazy babies!!!

u/BackThatThangUp Aug 27 '24

I saw a post from a forced birther once and they were rambling on about how God has “promised” (demands?) a life for you, but made no statement about whether it would be a good life or a long life, etc. And I just really have no words for how stupid and arbitrary that is.

u/thesilentbob123 Aug 27 '24

God's plans could be to let you be aborted

u/One-Inch-Punch Aug 27 '24

The cruelty is the point.

u/FranzLudwig3700 Aug 28 '24

It is god's cruelty. These people believe in a cruel god, and they are sworn to carry out his wishes.

u/Jazzlike-Greysmoke Aug 27 '24

How vile of you to say that. They are doing everything they can to bring back child labour so those babies can become valuables members of the society.

u/galactionn Aug 27 '24

Time to rewatch this 30+ year old jewel. It’s probably more true today than it was then.

u/Bring_me_the_lads Aug 27 '24

Why would they? Their mission for God is already done once they're birthed

u/DemandImmediate1288 Aug 27 '24

They don't give a shit. Once the baby is born they have no more emotional, material, or moral shits left to give.

u/warpmusician Aug 28 '24

Why should they? Not their baby, not their problem

u/beebsaleebs Aug 27 '24

They’ll do DNA tests and arrest the parents

u/I_Lick_Your_Butt Aug 27 '24

They'll wait until they are old enough and then throw them in jail for more legal slave labor.

u/Here_is_to_beer Aug 27 '24

Not true. Most couples who want to adopt want newborns they can raise from the start. The crying shame is for the toddlers and elementary school children who have been taken from abusive\drug parents and need A LOT of intervention and care. They have no voice, and are often the most neglected.

u/Bluellan Aug 27 '24

Yeah. CPS tried to convince my abuse parents to give me up as a baby because I was still "adoptable". It's disgusting.
