They didn't care when 1st graders were targeted in a mass shooting. They certainly don't give a fuck about women dying.

They didn't care when their own Emperor of Mankind crushed a blood capsule in his ear

Two women's deaths have been publicly reported on and shown to be attributable to the abortion ban. The actual number of deaths attributable to the abortion ban is much higher.

Because the cruelty is the point. It was always the point.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Yeah, they hate women. This is success for them.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A thousand women wouldn't be enough. The GOP doesn't give a shit.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt 2 points 3 days ago

It will be enough when one of their daughters needs one...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I think we need to remember what's important here. Dead women and school children is the price of freedom.

But wearing a mask for ten minutes is tyranny!

/s just in case

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt 4 points 3 days ago

But wearing a mask for ten minutes is tyranny!

Unless the mask is used to hide their identity while ~~committing acts of domestic terrorism~~ being patriots

"I felt like I was going to pass out after wearing a mask for 30 seconds. Also, masks do nothing."

Remember, they are pro-control not pro-life.

[–] Clent 6 points 3 days ago

Why would two dead women affect their ideology when dozens upon dozens of dead children has not?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

Just like with gun violence no amount of deaths will turn them from their insanity.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm ashamed that I noticed that both victims of GoP cruelty are a visible minority.

But now I can't un-see it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

It's not surprising since the GOP hates women and brown people.

[–] TallonMetroid 9 points 4 days ago

Why would they? As far as they're concerned, this is the intended outcome.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The entire female gender dying off this way wouldn't be enough for the Greedy Old Pricks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Sounds like they want a only male society. hmmm wierd I wonder that would imply.

[–] Sterile_Technique 4 points 4 days ago

...yeah this is the GOP - women suffering/dying is a feature, not a bug.

Never forget that the cruelty is the point.

Nor would two million, to be perfectly frank, if the Nationalist Christians solidify their hold on power.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Fake Christians. Christ would weep at them letting other's suffer unnecessarily.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What’s the magic number?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Gotta at least get to 10x school shooting numbers to get these guys to even talk to you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No... Even 1000x would not change their tune.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Depends I suppose, are we talking real people or immigrants?

[–] feedum_sneedson 1 points 3 days ago

Nobody is performing abortions with a plastic coat hanger. Precession of simulacra in real time, that's remarkable.
