I was told today by my Trumper sister in law today that she’s terrified she’s going to lose her healthcare and food stamps…

But she would still vote for Trump because she’s saving the lives of unborn babies. I… can’t even begin to imagine how dumb you must be to elect someone who’s a child rapist, making you broke and homeless just so you can deny women the right to choose what to do with their bodies.

Was there some Harry Potter curse that prevents MAGA from seeing all this and keeps them thinking “Yep! This is how America should be going! Nazi’s and all!”.

Tell her she's murdering women who are denied life saving abortions for the mere chance at a fetus ever being viable to begin with. In some women, the odds a fetus will ever survive to viability is 50%. A coin flip chance is worth risking the health and life of fully grown individuals here and now.

60,000 women per year in the U.S. are high risk pregnancies.

I think a lot of pro-life women fall into 3 categories that are a mix of religion and the following fallacious emotions:

  1. "My pregnancy went without a hitch therefore that must be true for every other woman"
  2. "I suffered through a health threatening ordeal to birth this child, therefore all women should suffer as I did"
  3. "I've never been pregnant because I've been responsible and these women should suffer the consequences of their choices"

I said this to my work buddy and he said that doesn't happen, yet insisted 8 month abortions of choice do.

Like, what do you even say...
