I have some sympathy for her but she needs to wake up. The begging she is doing is part of what Republicans want. In their belief system women are beneath men and they should stop complaining. She won't rise anywhere and may die from complications during birth that could have been prevented if her states laws didn't exist. Fuck every Republican voter who allowed her suffering, but my sympathy waivers when you cause your own pain.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Fuck every Republican voter who allowed her suffering, but my sympathy waivers when you cause your own pain.
I know it's kind of implied in your statement, but I think it's worth making this distinction: Republican voters in general cause their own pain, mostly through ignorance. She, on the other hand, knows who her colleagues are and have been for the last 50 years at least, and thinks her pleas won't fall on deaf ears by virtue of being "one of them."
If only people like her took the time to understand concepts like John Rawls's "Veil of Ignorance," rather than supporting people who think The Bible and 1984 are neat ideas for government.
