Did anti-abortion camp really think abortion is killing infant?
My wife’s born again idiot ex-friend who came to visit her and tell her she’s a baby killer (never had an abortion, but is pro-choice) insisted people are aborting babies at 9 months.
My mother STILL believes that “partial birth abortion” is a thing. Like, at one point she literally believed doctors would use a reflex-testing mallet to smash in a baby’s skull as it was being born. I heard these words come out of her mouth when I was a child.
Now she just thinks they use a surgical hose to suck the brain out as it’s coming out.
My mother in law also threatened to not come to the wedding because I made a pro-choice post on social media. It was literally my only post of the year, because I only keep the account for messaging family. She insisted I’m a baby killer. She also thinks someday she and her family will be dragged out in the street and executed for being christian.
Removing the baby at 9 months is just called giving birth.
Yeah, that’s what I told my mom. She tried to tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. They wouldn’t just deliver the baby and let someone adopt it if the birth parents don’t want it. No, they’ll kill the baby mid-delivery. I hate that it’s my mom, but some people can’t be reasoned with.
I started asking for examples of when that happened.
It’s funny how angry people get when you ask them for proof of their ridiculous claim. Especially when they start insisting they have the proof, they just don’t feel like sharing “because of your attitude” and when it gets to that point I just openly start laughing at them.
That’s the problem with cultists. They believe everything without proof to the point they believe proof is wrong somehow. Like the only valid beliefs are ones that are taken on faith and run counter to all logic and reason.
After all, if everything you believe isn’t totally bullshit, how can you claim you have faith?
They constantly talk about how people want to extend abortions into the entire pregnancy like that’s actually a thing. Maybe the first person is doing it on purpose fucking with the fact that any sane person would let an invalid/lethal pregnancy go to save the mother’s life but the goons who listen to that crap don’t check.
In the same way they believe the civil war was about states’ rights.
They’re lying to make their position seem less outrageous.
Some of them, yeah. A lot of them are just dumb as rocks, and have been duped into thinking that what they’re doing is moral.
Right wing in general is full of the easily deceived and hateful.
2 main tactics used is to either convince the stupid people you’re on their side helping them with their ideals, or that the things they hate are a threat and you’re the only one who can save them.
It’s a shame it’s turned into this, and that right wing went so crazy that left wing is now just about not letting them destroy the world.
If it’s talking to you, it’s a toddler. And all the fucking guns are killing most of those.
People talk to me all the time. I can’t make sense of what they’re saying. Are they toddlers?
Speaking only for myself, yes.
They do think abortion is killing babies, just unborn babies. That’s what half the argument comes down to. One side thinks it’s “should it be legal to kill unborn babies?” and the other side thinks it’s “should it be legal to end your pregnancy before it’s a baby?” And it’s hard to find a middle ground because the former thinks they’re babies as soon as they’re conceived and the latter thinks it’s a good way later down the road.
And now the hard question, when does it become a baby?
At some point between conception and birth, range inclusive.
I don’t know. I’m not an expert, and the only experience I had with it was before I can remember.
Personally, I just don’t think pregnant women need legal restrictions here. I imagine, ultra-conservatives think that more liberal women just have tons of unprotected sex and gladly risk getting pregnant, because they can just get an abortion.
But I’ve never seen that actually being a thing. Women will generally use some form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant in the first place. And if they do get pregnant, I have never heard of any woman, who took the decision to get an abortion lightly.
I believe that no woman will apply a lower moral standard to her unborn baby (or not-yet-baby, whatever) than our moral standards for human life in general.
Outright prohibiting abortion is not a higher moral standard, because you’ll have many cases where the outcome is worse for everyone involved, e.g. when the baby is already dead, but cannot be removed.
Women will generally use some form of contraception to avoid getting pregnant in the first place.
Hence why some people are talking about targeting contraception.
This is so worthwhile talking about. I used to struggle with this stuff quite a bit until realising what you’ve said here. The right frequently seems to mischaracterise pro-choice as pro-abortion, and that is completely wrong. No one likes abortion. And yet, it happens. Conservatives should do some introspection on those two facts.
If things works the way those idiots actually think they do, I can see how this would be horrifying to them. But things don’t work that way. And because they’re Idiots, they won’t ever know that with enough reason- they can side-step the horrors of their own ignorance.
The baby is white of course. Just like Jesus.
Removed by mod
I’m sure that baby was Christian too. Just like Jesus.
And an American. Etc.
Apparently abortions are performed with all six infinity stones.
I’m sorry little one
Lol, and after the baby is born, too.
Aborting half of the fetus: Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Gone, reduced to atoms
“I will shred this uterus down to its last atom and then, with the stones you’ve collected for me, create a new one teeming with life that knows not what it has lost but only what is has been given. A grateful uterus.” -Plan B wielding Thanos
I don’t think a Plan B welded uterus sounds nice, just to clarify, it is the welded uterus that doesn’t sound nice at all, Plan B part is okay.
Lmao. Typing too fast and my fat fingers forgot the i.
No issue, gave me an opportunity to joke around.
The universe required correction.
This makes abortion look so fucking cool
This meme assumes the reader finds babies to be cute and adorable, rather than terrifying little goblins.
It’s different for everyone, but I was always put off by kids for all the typical reasons (boring, sticky, annoying, etc.), until I got pregnant.
I don’t mean that I love my kid so it’s different. I mean that the hormones associated with pregnancy changed all of my priorities. Thank god I had an abortion (I’d have a preteen with an alcoholic father and me for a mother- that’s not fair to a child), but it was much more difficult than I expected it to be.
With the pregnancy hormones, I definitely would have cried at this ad. Congratulations to them for emotionally manipulating the most emotionally unstable group in the world?
It’s intended to fuck with the mom-brain of a pregnant woman. Like putting porn in front of a guy going through No-Nut November. The goal is to hit those animal instincts and cause intense anxiety.
They’re not trying to influence teenage edgelords.
I hate babies. They don’t know shit and they take up too many resources. Nevermind the selfish parents tying up the world’s resources for their next of kin these ppl r pathetic
I hate babies. They don’t know shit and they take up too many resources.
Many adults are like that too.
Babies did nothing wrong. It’s the parents that keep pumping out more mouths to feed.
Alright Boomer right winger lol let me guess fetuses are babies too huh
I don’t even know what you think I said. lol
Whatever pro lifer keep forcing your book on us all
I’m pro choice though…
You are now, thanks to my intimidation. Welcome home
Looks like a powerpoint transition. 😂
“Mommy your choice doesn’t feel so good”
Transition:

I heard that in my frickin head.
Ok, choice is important and right and all, but let’s not laugh at the idea of consciously dying babies.
About 90% of abortions are performed before 12 weeks, well before the fetus could even look like a post-birth baby like the one depicted in the meme. This is a common tactic of anti-choicers to depict abortion as being performed on fully formed and almost born fetuses. They try to use edge cases to argue against unrelated and more common experiences. Fetuses aren’t conscious or sentient or viable when most abortions are performed. Don’t let them get away with disingenuously conflating those concepts and milestones.
That baby doesn’t even look newborn, it looks like it’s been born for months
They look like a tablespoon of strawberry jam.
Source: I’ve assisted in quite a few abortions.
…apologies if I just ruined strawberry jam for you.
…now I want an English muffin with some strawberry jam. But also I want to purchase, open, and put the jam on it myself without ever breaking eye contact with the jar so as to avoid accidentally injesting not jam.
Ok, but let’s laugh at the people who think of a fetus as a conscious baby speaking in full sentences while being snapped out of existence by Thanos.
As someone who had a baby- they’re not conscious of much for many months.
I know it’s a joke, and I’m super excited pro choice… But even knowing they’re dog/elephant their comment still works (other than the “humans” clarifier) as they can make independent thoughts and love their lives.
Every time you need to pay someone who’s pro-life any amount of money, give them a nickle and tell them that if they put it in their bank account it will eventually grow to reach the amount of money you owe them, therefore you’ve just paid them in full. Easy.
Thanos was a true ideologue. He could have targeted half the universes population AND all the people trying to stop him. It would have been a insignificant amount over his intentions. Quickly erased by the exponential increase in population growth he would have started.
He also could’ve just doubled all the resources in the universe
Or made all living things require half as many resources.
Doesn’t that still result in issues? Like it might take longer but the end result would be the same.
I mean the main problem comes from the fact that that’s not what comic Thanos’ reason for killing half the universe is.
In the comics Thanos wanted to kill half the universe to impress lady death who he was in love with.
But since a love triangle where Thanos is getting cucked by Deadpool isn’t really fit for movies we got what we got.
You know there’s something about a villains motive being so small and pathetic that just makes it seem more real. Hardly anybody has any grand ideas about shaping the world, even those with the power to. Most billionaires are literally buying big boats and buildings instead of shaping nations. Destroying things because he can’t handle rejection is just so much more human.
So does removing half the universe. They’ll eventually get back to where they were.
One of the more annoying aspects of the story arc. Thanos was originally written as this religious zealot who quite literally wanted nothing more than to bone Death. Everything he did was in service to this dogmatic view that killing was a holy act. So much of his character is just my man being an uncompromising, super-powered sociopath.
And then the MCU writers come in and try to make him a eugenicist who can’t do math. “Just gonna nix half the universe’s sentient population and then go off and… uh… farm.” Dude, come on. Why on earth did they feel the need to take one of the setting’s explicit unquestionable villains and turn him into Sam Bankman-Fried with magic rocks?
Disney, probably. They gave us some good things, I guess. Kinda sucks it’s their IP forever now.
I’m leaning towards being competely over marvel and super hero shit in general. Sad that some might think it’s because I’m old and no fun but really I don’t think the story telling is up to my standards anymore.
At this point I want depth and execution. Really, my standards may be too high but it’s my time, I guess.
I just need a story that has something important under the surface. Something to keep me guessing. Then in a master stroke execute every scene with intention, artistry, and style.
I also tend toward darker themes.
Most people want that but corporations would rather have money from rubes than bother to make anything with good storytelling.
I also tend toward darker themes.
The mainstreaming and Disney-fication of “gritty” movies has been absolutely dogshit for the content.
You can’t make Blade or The Crow anymore. You can barely make The Matrix. You just get a bunch of GrimDark cartoony bullshit.
I’m dreaming of a Berserk done right. Not that shit they somehow did two seasons of. The Golden Age stuff is really good. I just want post golden age now.
They do all this build up and the climax of Golden Age really grabs you. Then its just… damn, yeah. More of that high drama / political intrigue / folly of man’s hubris / yearning of the human heart shit. The monster fights are fun, but the real meat of Berserk is that romance and betrayal.
Now I’m wondering that if you replace these poster with something like “black babies matter” it would trigger replacement theory before it triggers the pro-life reflex.
That’s a race condition.
golf clap
“Ho ho, you”
Abortion: as easy as snapping your fingers!
