I love that they referred her to an anti-abortion crisis center, because there's a 99% chance they'll just tell her the same "pro-life" garbage she's been spewing and send her ass home.

Remember, God makes no mistakes 🤗

I really do hate myself for a lack of sympathy in this situation, but these people need to experience what they’re doing to everyone else.

What’s sad is that people who agree with her won’t see the threat to her life as a valid reason either. They don’t know her so they don’t care for her. They’ll lump her in with the people they torment outside of Planned Parenthood regularly.

Just another woman who spread her legs and is too cowardly to accept the will of god.

I’ll be honest, I’m burned out. I need a break from morons and their stories. I really do.

I have accepted that two things can be trust at once: I can be sad for her and amused at the leopard eating her face. I have no problem containing both of those emotions at the same time without hating myself one ounce.

She is the leopard eating her face. I see no reason to be sad. She is dying for her beliefs, a martyr.

It wasn't part of her plan but (her) God chose her for this. We should she be happy. She should be happy. This is (her) God's will.

I'm not sad for her, but more for the brutal response she got at the end of the article. That's how they treat everyone that comes to them with issues like that.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

She wanted that too.

Not for herself, of course, but anyone else.

You need to stop going out of your way to doomscroll on social media, then. It's ultimately entirely in your power to not be exposed to them.

I'm being serious. It's not good for you--social media makes it extremely easy to be exposed to negativity 24/7 if you're looking for it, since you're 1 person in a world of over 8 billion. You don't have to get even close to 1% of the people being assholes, for this to be not only possible, but trivially easy.

The human psyche is literally not designed to withstand the kind of barrage technology has made possible. Please do not feel guilty about giving yourself a break at times, to say the very least.

Thanks for this (I'm not the op). While I tend to agree that doomscrolling doesn't help my mental health, I'm not sure how to square burying my head in the sand vs not paying attention to the crazy shit going on.

I don't expect an answer or anything, just venting. I feel powerless and my taxes are apparently going to fund a concentration camp.

I've given up on being sympathetic for people who actively try to put these things in place. Like, I'm just jaded now. You voted for this. Congratulations, if this is fatal for your stupid decisions, that's on you. I'm sympathetic to the people with brains who knew this would happen, those people get my sympathy and caring.
