Anyone that actually believes this shouldn't be allowed to continue breathing.

I'm done being nice about this.

I mean .. we could shove a 10 cm bowling ball up his ass against his will and see how he feels thereafter

You KNOW he's just going to respond "I've had bigger shits" and then cry about it in a closed room. If logic was ever going to work on these morons, it would've happened decades ago.

e. I feel like it's also important to note that there are dumb as fuck women who also believe this fucking nonsense and these laws would have far less efficacy if it didn't have their support (looking at all those ladies with (R) beside their name)

If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

"We would never take a mile, you have our promise"

And here they are taking a mile.

Especially if you die from it?

Death, the great "cure-all", gets rid of all diseases.

"The greatest healing agent," says the rape enabler.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

I'll bet he thinks forced marriage to said rapist is a Great Healing Agent too. (He's never advocated this as far as I know, and I'm not trying to put words in his mouth. But c'mon, we gotta Bring Back the Nuclear Family, no?)

That's a good way to drive people to kill themselves.

Misery in Missouri, the land of forced birth and unwanted children.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Would a rapist not take this as encouragement? Would this not make women feel incredibly unsafe? Why do men have no equivalent laws that restrict what they can do with their own body?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

what do you expect. missouri republicans see women as brood mares, and brood mares aren't people.

I'm this close to expecting them to call women "fee males".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I'm not one to ad-hom but I mean look at the guy..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Republicans should do a Jonestown to protect the children. Far more effective than whatever it is they are doing now.

He should really be forced to watch vaginal birth from 10 cm away

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Frankly, he should be forced to watch the still birth of his own child from 10cm away, at breakfast time, every day for the rest of his life, while some sanctimonious asshole tells him and his wife it's all part of God's plan.

This is how you get increased suicides and abandoned infants.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The problem is (a) Republicans don't care if the issue isn't their own, and (b) Republicans seem to lack the capacity for identifying systemic failures. It's like an object-permanence thing with them. If they can't physically see the thing happening directly with their two eyes, then there is no relation. Like they're blind to negative externalities or indirect side-effects. at the macro level.

In other words... There's a reason these folks don't normally make great engineers or scientists.

It can also be 'the greatest trauma'.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

He's making great arguments for one abortion that would've made the world a much better place.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Force him to have a baby. He'll change his tune as its ripping his urethra. I hope this awaits each of these bastards if hell were spiritual instead of physically on this Earth.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

So's flushing these fucking GOP turds down the toilet.

Them not existing anymore would heal the fuck out of me.
