A year or so back I heard a trans activist on a podcast saying that the “protect kids” rhetoric was bullshit and all the bans on providing gender affirming care to trans kids was a foot in the door to ban it for all trans people.
Now we just need the leaked audio of republicans talking about banning birth control for the awfulness hat trick.
Politicians saying "Protecting the kids" is usually a trigger phrase for some bullshit
Like 99.9999% of the time.
Unless it's talking about responsible firearm ownership.
Well no that one is the actual leading cause of death in children.
Exactly
Still not sure if I'm misreading sarcasm or if we're in agreement that "reeee, think of cheeeeldreeen!" is usually a transparent pretext to violate someone's rights, but with gun regulation its truly not pretextual.
That was my genuine point. No sarcasm intended.
But I thought abortion by God would be.
I'd honestly like to know what they're protecting kids from.
What the kids really need to be protected from is these hateful motherfuckers. We need to put the lot of them in a rocket and fire it into the next sun over. Not our sun, that's still too close to home.
To the Sun I say. Better to burn them up immediately than risk them being brought back to life by some future technology after being retrieved half way past Pluto.
Ugh, imagine alien life encountering them and thinking they're representative of our species. Agreed, they can burn here.
