A sick part of me is happy that these states are going insane. I can’t wait for a redneck to start crying when his wife dies because his already dead-in-the-womb baby still counts as a baby, and the doctor says, “gosh, that’s an abortion! I can’t do that because of your vote”
The problem is that they will never acknowledge that they were the ones that caused them to get to that point. That is why we are here today.
Some will admit it. When it affects them.
But the number actually affected isn't enough to sway elections. And the rest have zero empathy for others or foresight so won't care unless they are impacted.
True, they can’t smell their own shit on their knees.
It's hard to smell the shit on your knees when you've got your head up someone's ass.
A lot of people are going to be hurt and killed in the meantime.
I'd have preferred to not see that happen in the first place
I mean, if they are right-wing… No great loss.
An absolute fuckload aren't.
Well, then someone should get rid of those Supreme Court justices.
It's like worrying about the emergency overflow drain on the AC that's been dripping for a year when the entire system needs an overhaul, but sure, that would at least fix a problem.
The redneck will probably just scream Obamacare killed his wife then go vote for Trump even if he isn't on the ballot that year.
Most likely.
The people who pass this legislation can afford to covertly leave the state they ruined for a blue one.
Unfortunately there is no sadistic pleasure here except what they feel when women are deprived of their bodily atonomy, pushing them one step closer to property, to be bartered to people with power like them. It's the only way to permanently reverse the trend of men growing up left of center, keeping young misguided boys incels losers forever as opposed to switching belief systems the moment they have to start appealing at all to women.
That happened hundreds of times with COVID, didn't change a thing. The GOP does not serve constituents, it's the other way around.
Which will happen to maybe one tenth of one percent of the people voting for this shit and won't make a damn bit of difference.
But I'm glad to see you're happy to show your pointless schadenfreude with the internet.
You’re welcome. And it’s only a pleasure to watch leopards dining on faces, just so we’re clear.
Is this one of those things where you just assume everyone in a red state supports it an deserves it? You do realize there are massive voter suppression campaigns and gerrymandering problems in these areas, right? But I guess fuck them they asked for it.
