    Any termination of pregnanacy before the 20th week is considered an abortion btw. So if you were to miscarry it would be considered an abortion, take that as you will.

    Here’s the thing though. When THEY need it, it’s ok. They’ll just pop over to the next state and nobody back home will ever know. They have absolutely no problem being hypocrites in any aspect of their lives.

    You underestimate how crazy fundamentalists are. For them, it’s worth dying if it saves the fetus, because for them a fetus is a living and breathing child.

      My conservative grandma who votes R every time because of abortion had an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy. When my mother was pregnant with me at fifteen, she offered her an abortion.

          She would never acknowledge the fact that she wanted me aborted, so it’s not something I’ve heard justified. This is a family tree defined by sexual violence, so there are a lot of topics which exist in that liminal space.

          Republican women live in a world that is governed by fear and control. Abortion being an option removes that aspect of fear. There is something in it that works the same way a “kink” does, that if one follows the rules and takes the hurt, everything works out in the end. Why would you take out the hurt/is it actually a feasible option to take out the hurt?

          But to actually answer your question, asking her the question would just not get a response.

    The treatment for an unwanted pregnancy is abortion.

    People really dance around this issue, but we simply need to give women access to safe abortions for unwanted pregnancies.

      No no, the compassionate approach is to force the women to bear the child, raise it in poverty and neglect if not outright constant abuse, wash out into the foster care system, grow up with no skills and fewer prospects, become homeless and then round them up and throw them in prison when they use drugs to cope with their shit lives. Just like Jesus wants, you baby murderer!

    Oh, here’s the other time abortion is acceptable to Republican women: when they (or their daughters) fuck some guy that they shouldn’t (for whatever reason) and then get pregnant.

    I’ll just never understand how they look at abortion as murder of a human and then commit a genocide against some brown people somewhere else. Literal demons.

    Won’t work on them unless they’re actually in the process of dying.

    Conservatives don’t care about being warned about things. They only care when those things happen directly to them and they have to actively deal with the consequences.

    Remember seeing some pristine examples of this during COVID. Conservatives in the process of dying in the hospital and then start begging for help.

    A ‘business’ contact that is on a social media that I have to use for work, posted essentially the opposite of this, claiming that none of these are abortions, and if your provider says that they are, that you just need to find another provider. Challenge here is that none of the providers are willing to take the risk…
