Now, here's something really politically incorrect to say, not fake political incorrectness, like Ben Carson talks about: If you knew that, in a house down the street, someone was murdering babies, you'd fucking do whatever it took to stop them. You'd get in there and take those babies away so they're not murdered. This is the biggest goddamn lie in the anti-choice rhetoric. Most of the anti-choicers know good and goddamn well that abortion and infanticide are two very different things because if they honestly believed that an abortion is the same as taking an infant out of a stroller and killing it, then they are fucking monsters to allow it to continue. So either they are cowards or they are liars and, except for a few of the craziest motherfuckers in the movement, they know in their heart of hearts that abortion is not murder. You know why they know it's not murder? Because they can't bust down a door and rescue a baby because that baby isn't a baby. It's a fetus attached to a woman who doesn't want you to fucking rescue her.
That's the great cosmic joke of nearly the entire anti-abortion belief system. You know that it's mostly just manipulative fuckers at organizations like the Family Research Council and politicians like, well, everyone in the GOP. And they're trying to squeeze money out of the yokels and, because in many cases their church is involved, the yokel parishioners, like yokels and rubes throughout history, will try to please their shepherds. The sheep might not wanna go into the goddamn pen, but they will because they are fucking sheep. The anti-choice movement is a scam, and the attacks, verbal and physical, on women's health centers and family planning clinics, are the pinnacle of a great con.
And that brings us to Robert Dear, another gun-toting, redneck shitheel who succeeded in murdering a devoted Christian police officer, an Iraq War vet, and a stay-at-home mom, an iconic triumvirate of conservative values. Between them, Garrett Swasey, Ke'Arre Stewart, and Jennifer Markovsky were parents to six children. And, while it matters not one whit if any of them or all of them were there for abortions, even by the low bar of stopping the selling of "baby parts," as Dear told cops he was attempting to do, this domestic terrorist was an utter failure, like he was at life.
But fuck Dear. Instead, look at the bullshit being spouted by the supposed leaders of the Republican Party, the same cocksuckers who lied about Planned Parenthood "selling" fetus parts in order to, in many cases, help medical science advance. The sentient syphilis virus known as Carly Fiorina said, "Any protesters should always be peaceful. Whether it's Black Lives Matter or pro-life protesters." Except the turd wasn't protesting. He was shooting a fucking automatic weapon. Where did that happen in any Black Lives Matter marches? She continued by attacking Planned Parenthood for daring to suggest that hateful things said by people like Fiorina might have inspired the shooter: "This is so typical of the left to immediately begin demonizing a messenger because they don't agree with the message." Fiorina was the worst of a terrible bunch, which included Ted "We don't why he did it, but he might be transgender" Cruz, Donald "People hate Planned Parenthood" Trump, and Mike "This is terrorism against the pro-life movement" Huckabee. None of them mourned the dead without adding some self-serving fuckery about how they're not involved.

In the above fable, the trumpeter, like so many media pundits, will insist they are not the ones doing the killing. Yes, speech, even offensive speech, should be protected, otherwise any speech that threatened the power of any dominant group could be called "offensive!" However, if you are accusing people of being criminals, then you had better take responsibility for what you say. responsibilities and rights are two halves of a whole; you cannot take one and not the other. This is especially true when you know that people have been killed over this issue.
Of course, the right wing, and sadly, way too many on the left wing, want all the powers the Bill of Rights gives us, but none of the responsibilities. We are not just talking about the old saw about yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. We are talking about a media which has allowed people to use weasel words and tricks to actually muddy the very idea of truth. Someone says a racial slur or lie, oh that person is an "artist" or "philosopher" because their books sell. Someone said they were for nasty idea X, something that just became unpopular even though it was the hottest selling idea last week? Oh no, we can prove they were for nasty idea X before they were against it, and when the polls change, the past will be made to adjust it. The enemy IS BULLSHIT, of all sorts, from all sources, and one of the worst bits of bullshit is the one that Aesop showed above, long before Alexander the great was a baby. The idea that you can indulge in urging people to attack someone and NOT claim responsibility is a lie, and it needs to be killed. This applies to abortion especially, and yes gun control, because let's face it, the reason the NRA and GOP are in wedlock is because the right loves to benefit from having a bunch of armed servants ready to attack someone with minimal, easily deniable responsibility.
Now, some of the right wing may not go to Freeper land and join the chorus of people cheering the deaths of left wing opponents. Surely they wept when Gabby Giffords or Rev. Clementa Pickney were shot, they were not like those others having a grave dance party. Yeah, maybe so, but then, their failure to outright and CLEARLY condemn that violence shows they are, at best, the trumpeters that play the notes.

(15,715 posts)So what does not getting an abortion do? It guarantees that she and the child will stay POOR. Because if she had been able to get an abortion like many before her, that went on to be successful in life and business, she will not. She will not be a threat in the business world. She and her child will probably remain at the bottom of the ladder right where the 1% want them to be.

(1,074 posts)$$ is the optimum word, if you have it, an abortion was & is always available. Roe deals more w/those who do not have any option, namely those w/o resources.

(32,723 posts)Republicans don't give a DAMN about the "unborn".
They use this issue to sucker people into voting for them.
They tell their idiot followers the "Demoncrats" are doing abortions to provide blood offerings to Satan and the ONLY way to put a stop to this outrage and save your soul from eternal damnation is to vote for your local, well scrubbed, wealthy Republican hero.
