Privileged people do get an exception - they can afford to fly to another state for an abortion.
People like this think they're part of the in group because they're white or christian, but the only war is class war. To our rulers we're all the enemy.
My fucking Trumpy brother in law has this attitude. He lives in the south, votes for Trump, and has a wife, two daughters, and a son. His wife has had a couple of complicated pregnancies that, had they happened now in the place they currently live, could well have resulted in her death. His attitude when asked 'what if one of your daughters gets raped?' is to say he can just fly her somewhere else to get an abortion, because he has money. Fuck you, dude.
These are people who don't want rights, they want privileges. They don't want equality, they want hierarchy. They can't say "gimme gimme", they say "take America back".
From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.
This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?
All animals are equal but some are more equal.
Two legs good, four legs bad.
Edit: actually think I got that backwards.
Four legs good, two legs bad. And if I remember correctly, there was an amendment for ducks/chickens/etc to be good. Haven't read that book in like 35 years.
Lol where do geese stand?
Wherever the fuck they want.
Texas also has many local abortion travel bans so you can be punished for using their roads while going to the other states if you can't afford to fly over them.
Many states put a bounty on anyone found to be helping someone travel out of state to get an abortion.
I know Texas does this, but do other states?
States specifically target liberal groups for harassment and penalty. Conservative physicians will be ignored.
The point of these witch hunts is to torment opposition groups.
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.
She wanted that too.
Not for herself, of course, but anyone else.
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.
I’ll be honest, I’m burned out. I need a break from morons and their stories. I really do.
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.
The only moral abortion is my abortion!
Hope she learns from this shit that her choices have consequences. Vote better next time
I wonder if it was more an assumption that the rules only applied to viable pregnancies.
I mean I'm pro-choice but I'd assume anyone pushing to ban abortion is aiming to prevent viable pregnancies from being terminated while still allowing medically necessary or unviable pregnancies to be terminated.
Youd be quite disappointed
How do they justify that? I mean I can see why people would be against aborting viable fetuses, but a fetus that will never live seems absurd.
I guess we also force dying people to wait it out, so maybe it's on trend.
Literally the Republican Way™©®
It disgusts me to no end. "It's wrong and should be punished until it happens to me!"
Saving this! Who knows when it might come in handy…
For what it's worth, this particular case happened 2 years ago, in Missouri:
From the article:
She was already at "risks of maternal thrombosis given her history of (deep vein thrombosis during a COVID-19 infection)
Why do I picture this lady as an anti-vaxxer & anti-masker?
Good lemming. Keep doing good things.
Nutpicking. For every "Haha! Instant Karma! Suck it, idiots!" front page circle jerk, a thousand conservatives will get abortions under the table without a problem.
You've got to go two years back on this shit because its ultimately the exception, not the rule.
Missouri just voted to make them legal again, so not sure your point.
The only moral abortion is MY abortion!
