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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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