Surreal and mind blowing clip. That’s unhinged and terrifying.
You know, like ISIS does.
Nope. ISIS is actually more okay with abortion.

These Christian extremists all agree until the women in question is their daughter, sister, granddaughter, etc.
And shit like this is why the state should never be permitted to kill people. It inevitably uses that power for evil. How long is it going to be before women who have miscarriages are executed?
If the people in that room get their way, next year
Pro life lmao
They're really only pro fetus. They don't care after the baby is born.
Abbot's Deregulated F'ed up Texas is turning into a religious nutter theocracy resembling a few countries in the Middle East.
So if the whole premise is based on Hammurabi’s Law: eye for an eye, life for a life, are they also planning to execute the babies whose mothers die from pregnancy-related complications, or am I off base here? Just wanna see where the line is.
Of course not. You are thinking about it all wrong, they don't have a consistent ideology that can be interrogated. Consistency means nothing to them, it's pointless to try and find contradictory beliefs. They are looking to oppress and terrorize the groups of people they deem lower, that is their goal. Being consistent is a hindrance towards that end and more than that, the don't believe they need to be consistent. To them, they are deserving of ultimate power, being inconsistent is how they display and enact that power.
Republicans are why we need the second amendment.
May we never have to use it for its intended purpose.
(Sorry for semi-necro. My instance is about 4d behind yours.)
On Lemmy or even Reddit, no one should care about late replies. It's not like you bumped a thread or anything.

The part I like about Republicans going batshit crazy and becoming murderous thugs is that nobody will do a goddamn thing about it because "free speech and religion".
America is an abject fucking failure and Americans are pussies.
