It makes me wonder, why are the religious obsess with abortion when the US allows divorce, even though the Bible forbids it? Why not campaign on striking down divorce as well?

So if fetuses are declared people will Republicans start ignoring them like they do children?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

The answer to that question, is yes. Republicans will immediately will stop giving a shit. Which is impressive as they barely care about fetuses now expect for a way to control women.

I have about a million pre-people in this tissue. Can I get a tax break?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Every time you masturbate, ~~God kills a kitten~~ you go to prison for mass murder.

Officer: Are you pregnant ma'am?

Ma'am: No there's a homeless person who is living rent free inside my womb against my will.

Officer: Stand back maam!

But are fetuses corporations? If a small business incubator fails, is it an abortion?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

So I can drive in the HOV lane, I can't be mass arrested, and attempted murder against me is considered attempted genocide?

My tax return is going to be enormous due to how many dependants I have. I'll have enough money to get TF out of this crazy place.

All the college kids get to start legally drinking nine months earlier! And legal weed too!

What they'd really hate is not being able to jail pregnant women because the fetus is innocent

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just wait until Texas rules that the fetus was an accomplice, and gives a pregnant woman a double sentence.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Pregnant women kills an abusive husband and Texas tries the mother and fetus for murder...

It's less funny when you think about how they probably wouldn't blink

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Pretty soon they'll be trying to put me in prison for mass-murder every time I jerk off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Being a person doesn't give them the right to someone else's body to survive.

Unless we're legalizing forced blood, liver, marrow, and kidney donation?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It would be morbidly funny for a woman to sue a fetus for sexual assault for penetrating them without consent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So if we perceive a fetus as a person, self defense laws and stand your ground laws should apply right?

Like, if the threat is persistent and reasonably considered to be causing bodily harm, then reasonable escalating force, up to lethal, should be legal correct? Intent and innocence of the perps intentions does not absolve them in court of law... So if we consider the fetus a person and they are causing harm without stopping when prompted the mother should be legally afforded to defend herself, no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

This is the truth. Not even a full grown person, not even your just-born child, no one can compel you to give your blood to save their life much less to keep them alive inside your own body for nine months.

If they think a fetus has the same right to life as any person, they are free to help it survive using their own resources, just get it the fuck out of my body first.

“Fetal personhood” was always the next shoe to drop after they overturned Roe. I was a little surprised the court didn’t go straight there in Dodd.

All that shit the court said about the states being able to decide about abortion? Lies. These right-wing nutcases are out to ban abortion everywhere. And they will, through fetal personhood. We can’t pass a law to kill a PERSON without due process, can we?

It’ll happen in the next five years unless we reform the court or impeach the six frauds. Based on our current tendency to go from bad to worse, I doubt either of those will happen.

Emigrate now if you can.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

How? Where? None of us have money saved anymore. Groceries and rent have made sure we can't save any money for anything.

...Unless, there is an adopt an American family movement I haven't heard of? Can we start one?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If a fetus kills you, do they get tried as a minor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Manslaughter, they don't have intent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Would not surprise me if these same people then try to legalize pedophilia if they win just so they can do everything in their power to legally fuck a fetus. I imagine that's their ultimate goal in life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So they count as dependents on taxes, require child support, and allow the mother to drive in the carpool lane?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I was thinking fetal life insurance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Careful of what you wish for. I look forward to a future court case that establishes once and for all the definition of a person. Although, with the current Supreme Court, I do admit some hesitation.

I mean, if you want to establish rights for a fetus, what do you do when that fetus belongs to a “Mexican”? What do you do if a pregnant American moves to another country without the permission of the fetus? Not to say these are legit examples, but the courts will fill with bizarre cases like this.

More interestingly, what do you do when science stands up in court and establishes a fact that opposes your belief? Your beliefs have gotten you this far. It’s very plausible that you will lose some of the ground you’ve gained.

Pregnant women votes should be doubled!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I get what you're going for, but young kids can't vote, so this doesn't really work as a joke. :P
