Pro Life only until it's born, then fuck that Life

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

They aren't pro-life. They are forced birth. It isn't about the baby, it's about power over women.

The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

We've been thinking that for three generations and somehow they're still here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (3 children)

They are children! They are victims here.

Edit: the fact this got downvoted, the fact there are people who will gladly punish children for the actions of their parents, what a hellish world we live in.

“Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids.”

It's pretty normal to demonize parents who abuse children.

She thinks the measles are like chicken pox, pretty much harmless to young ones. My parents tried to get me sick in the 70s, that's just how it was done before we had a chicken pox vaccine. Finally got it at 16, still have the scars nearly 40-years later. But I got my shingles vax!

She's literally this stupid. Some things we see these nuts try to pull off make sense, from an evil point of view. This move is plain stupid, and because we've forgotten what measles are people will listen.

BTW, I'm 54 and just now learning what measles are and how bad it can be. I had no clue, because I've never met anyone that had it.

no, it makes sense. devaluing human life, and spreading the idea that sometimes the weak just die, with nothing anyone can do about it, is very much something they want to do. plus, burying your children is one hell of a sunk cost.

that's not to say she's cognitively functional, but that's why her masters won't put their foot down.

Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids

They should have their skulls kicked in before even thinking of having children

Lack of sex ed and no access to family planning services creates a whole bunch of idiots breeding more idiots

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Thanks, conservative Christians, for decades of public instruction in abstinence only, for cultural supremacy of purity culture (I'm thinking specifically of the early 90s/00s where churches were all teaching the same curriculum and so many of the hottest celebrities all said they were waiting for marriage).

Knowing nothing about how relationships should work, how to navigate emotional problems effectively, or what red flags to look out for has sure made relationships and communities stronger, all across the country.

Why are people debating measles vaccines again? The covid vaccine debate was stupid but I could kinda understand the concern there in comparison to this

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Listen, a playboy bunny listened to her mommy instincts and came to the conclusion that vaccines caused autism.

If that's not proof enough that vaccines are bad then I don't know what is.
