They showed what their priorities are and it's absolutely disgusting.

"Two wrongs don't make a right."

Would be what they would say, and is in no way an argument that I would make.

Why does he even pick the case of a 12-year hold pregnant person ? Isn't that like, the case were almost everyone can agree that abortion makes even more sense than usual ? Have i missed that somehow conservatives consider it to be worse than when adult people abort ?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 86 points 1 month ago (1 children)

makes even more sense than usual

You're talking about the all-or-nothing, absolute rule, zero-sum game gang, here. The concept of nuance is so far removed from the conservative headspace, it may as well be science fiction.

I think their idea here is that 12 year olds should be in school instead of sneaking around getting abortions. Which makes sense if you don't care about context or lack basic humanity

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 17 points 1 month ago

12 year olds should be in school instead of sneaking around getting abortions.

Absolutely! That's why sex education, and talking about consent and safety are ao important.

An 12 year old needing an abortion is such a tragedy, it should be prevented. But if it comes to that, if it is needed, she should have access to safe medical care.

No. No abortion makes sense to them (except their own wives') when they use it as justification to remove agency and bodily autonomy from women.

Most 12 year olds would risk death to give birth, so yes, most people would agree that both on the grounds that it's a raped child and on the grounds that the pregnancy could be fatal to the mother.

It's implied in their text that the 12-year old girl is the child of leftists and because of that is already sexually active. Since the left is sex positive that obviously means they're teaching their kids to be deviants by a very young age. Obviously daughter of proper right wing Christian Americans would never do that because she blah, blah, blah.

Maybe where they live a 12 year old girl can be expected to drive? So getting to a medical center two hours away is easy and convenient? and the nearest medical center is 2 hours away

Brilyn Hollyhand is supposed to be the replacement Charlie Kirk. The same billionaires are sponsoring him, but he’s just not catching on. Face is too big.

Wait, not to be a total asshole about someone’s name but I thought the -lyn suffix was pretty feminine? This man was set up to fail by his parents.

We can only hope he has the same commitment as Kirk and gets "acceptably" raped

The classic discussion

"We're fighting for the sanctity of life"

"while grilling a piece of animal on the grill"

"Human life"

"Yet people die because of lack of healthcare or malnutrition"

"Children"

"And stil child mortality is rising"

"Unborn life"

"Yet we polute the environment and with that the unborn child"

"It has a heartbeat, okay!"

"So does a Leftist"

[–] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 73 points 1 month ago

If a 12-year-old girl got raped and became pregnant, I'd rather live in a country in which she can contact medical services on her own, receive medical care without cost, and then the medical services contact the authorities, which can then investigate how a child became pregnant. Starting with the parents. Such things are quite often caused by close relatives.

[–] sonofearth@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago (6 children)

So according to the right wing a 12 y/o should be raped and should carry & raise a baby for the rest of her life just because “AbOrTiOn Is MuRdEr”.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 32 points 1 month ago (26 children)

Anti-abortion is a position exclusively for unreasonable or irrational people.

The 12-year-old would die in childbirth as god intended. These people don't actually care about the baby they just care about having power over other people.

In all seriousness, have you ever met a woman who "just" had an abortion? Without any internal struggle? Who "just" made an appointment, walked in, walked out? Not scared of how close it was to an life altering event for the woman? With not difficult feelings to the possible child? "Just" another day in her life?

Anyone?

I just don't believe that those women exist in large numbers but it feels like they think that is what every abortion is.

Ps: his example feels weirdly specific to me.

[–] Amberskin@europe.pub 31 points 1 month ago

I have. It was a friend who already had two kids, didn’t want (or couldn’t raise) more. She arranged the procedure as soon as she found she was pregnant again. Went to the appointment, got the embryo removed and that was all.

And it was ok, it was her decision (supported by her partner by the way) and nobody should have a shit to say about that.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Remember when Republicans made up the idea of "partial birth abortion" and (rather successfully) used to to convince people that there were women out there who purposely waited until they were in fucking labor to arbitrarily decide to abort?

Pisses me off how successful that was.

Well, it most definitely should be closer. It's already emotionally taxing enough for the child to do it on their own and hide it. No point to make it worse by having to travel that far.

Republicans when abortion: Noooo every life is sacred!!!!!111 ;(((((

Republicans when someone gets cancer: "Well should've saved 250.000 dollars just in case. Go die peasant, public healthcare is communism!!!!!"

You know what far-right religious nuts DO NOT like to know?

God has aborted more babies than every doctor ever born. He delights in the blood, as I understand it. Can't get hard without it. And how is Mary going to catch a stray savior load if God can't get his cross up?

So let me guess, his solution is to register all menstruating women and restrict them from leaving state lines right? Freedom.

Ahh. A true display of the American Right Wing politics.

I mean could less be expected of a follower of Jesus? Considering the fact that he decided to come back as a pedo-rapist.

Single issue voters are the worse.

It seems like genocide is replacing baby killer more and more in their playbook though.

[–] TRBoom@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This serves a double purpose.

The first is an attempt to steal and conflate actual genocide with their hideous agendas. By repurposing language they hope to make their efforts seem more important and also water down actual genocide.

The second is to dog whistle abortion to the "white genocide" conspiracy theory crowd.

Yeah, pregnant 12 year olds aren't really a problem for forced birthers. More like an opportunity. Besides she should have just kept her legs together, according to them

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

10-1 he's had to drive some 12 year old across state lines to get his baby out of her.

they care more about the abortion because if she doesn't carry it to term, they'll have one less child to rape.
