    The most fucked up thing about most Leopards Ate My Face types is that the leopard always eats someone else’s face first. This smug turd-lady voted for years to punish everyone she didn’t like. I feel sorry for what a hateful human she is

        Judging her type if I had to place a bet the next thing she’s gonna do is trying to sue the next best (probably innocent) person for the biggest bullshit reasons just to feel better. (And maybe go to a more liberal state to get an abortion)

      I wonder if it was more an assumption that the rules only applied to viable pregnancies.

      I mean I’m pro-choice but I’d assume anyone pushing to ban abortion is aiming to prevent viable pregnancies from being terminated while still allowing medically necessary or unviable pregnancies to be terminated.

          How do they justify that? I mean I can see why people would be against aborting viable fetuses, but a fetus that will never live seems absurd.

          I guess we also force dying people to wait it out, so maybe it’s on trend.

        Nah. The point of this is to punish women for having sex.

        If they die, the harlot shouldn’t have spread her legs.

        If she was raped - no she wasn’t.

        The whole point is to punish women for taking control of our bodies and then becoming full citizens. Cis white men HATE women.

          I wouldn’t be so sure. She has since appeared in a campaign ad with the democratic Missouri senator candidate in the 2022 midterms, moved out of Missouri, and sued the hospital in Kansas for denying care under the EMTALA. Her opinion piece on CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/27/opinions/emtala-scotus-ruling-emergency-abortion-idaho-farmer/index.html) is particularly harrowing in describing her experience and advocates for federal abortion rights.

            Well good for her for changing her mind. It’s easy to laugh at people like her but I think we need to have more compassion for these people. All the spiteful people on this website often make me more mad than these dipshit republicans.

            I had a lot of shitty views indoctrinated into me during my upbringing and it’s taken me years of self work and reflection to become the leftist I am today. My growth didn’t happen because people made fun of me, it happened because a close friend of mine cared about me and wanted me to become a better person.

            tl;dr: laughing at republicans solves nothing and just makes you feel good about yourself, which is not a horrible thing in itself but something more leftists need to be aware of imo.

              We need the democratic party to be far less kind and forgiving and actually want to win elections and learn to how to properly fight dirty.

              At the same time, we need the people to be far less spiteful and hateful, because no matter what happens after an election we all have to live together, and even the people who are deeply steeped in this political theater are just treating it like WWE, it’s entertainment and they don’t even care that none of it is real, they just want to feel safe and have a group to belong to, and you could probably take many of them out of that environment and talk to them and see they’re almost the same as us. Just less aware or cognizant of what’s going on the world.

              We need to treat conservatives the same way we treat dumb children. We use a firm hand, we dominate them with simple, strong language they understand, while at the same time having sympathy and empathy, because they are just humans tricked by their own feelings, like we’re all vulnerable to.

              Now, the grifters, pundits and media stars trying to stroke those feelings and turn our neighbors against us? I have so little sympathy for those bags of pure, distilled evil that if I spoke my opinion on how they should be treated, I would probably get banned.

    I love that they referred her to an anti-abortion crisis center, because there’s a 99% chance they’ll just tell her the same “pro-life” garbage she’s been spewing and send her ass home.

      I really do hate myself for a lack of sympathy in this situation, but these people need to experience what they’re doing to everyone else.

      What’s sad is that people who agree with her won’t see the threat to her life as a valid reason either. They don’t know her so they don’t care for her. They’ll lump her in with the people they torment outside of Planned Parenthood regularly.

      Just another woman who spread her legs and is too cowardly to accept the will of god.

      I’ll be honest, I’m burned out. I need a break from morons and their stories. I really do.

          She is the leopard eating her face. I see no reason to be sad. She is dying for her beliefs, a martyr.

          It wasn’t part of her plan but (her) God chose her for this. We should she be happy. She should be happy. This is (her) God’s will.

        You need to stop going out of your way to doomscroll on social media, then. It’s ultimately entirely in your power to not be exposed to them.

        I’m being serious. It’s not good for you–social media makes it extremely easy to be exposed to negativity 24/7 if you’re looking for it, since you’re 1 person in a world of over 8 billion. You don’t have to get even close to 1% of the people being assholes, for this to be not only possible, but trivially easy.

        The human psyche is literally not designed to withstand the kind of barrage technology has made possible. Please do not feel guilty about giving yourself a break at times, to say the very least.

      My fucking Trumpy brother in law has this attitude. He lives in the south, votes for Trump, and has a wife, two daughters, and a son. His wife has had a couple of complicated pregnancies that, had they happened now in the place they currently live, could well have resulted in her death. His attitude when asked ‘what if one of your daughters gets raped?’ is to say he can just fly her somewhere else to get an abortion, because he has money. Fuck you, dude.

        Yeah, if you can get a MAGAt to be honest with you, at some point, the core of what they want comes down to, “I support Trump because I want people who are different than me to have more misery in their life than I do.”

        If that means taking on some extra misery themselves, be so be it, as long as it’s even worse for them.

        It’s a sad type of cruelty.

        These are people who don’t want rights, they want privileges. They don’t want equality, they want hierarchy. They can’t say “gimme gimme”, they say “take America back”.

        From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.

        This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?

            For a while, there were a surprising amount of people who wanted to repeal Obamacare, but keep the Affordable Care Act.

            Letting it be called Obamacare was probably a misstep for his administration. It’d likely be less disliked if it wasn’t tied to his name, and they went with something like “Americare: Because America Cares for you”.

              I hear you, but their messaging was going to be their messaging, and it was going to be effective and adopted by their base. No one “let it be called Obamacare”, that was strictly Republican, and very deliberate. There was never a point when the GOP was gonna just allow a massive popular win by the other side, they were always gonna ratfuck it every way possible, do everything they could to make it unpopular.

              Associating it with scary brown guy was pretty much inevitable, I can’t put even a piece of the blame on the folks who fought for that legislation to be passed.

                Worked pretty great. Of course part of the ratfucking they did was to cripple the actual legislation, too, not just the image of it, so it doesn’t work nearly as well as it should.

                So now they have to vote in Congress to keep a thing people need but which they themselves made much crappier, while also being expected to scream about wanting to get rid of it altogether, while also being unable to make any useful changes to the legislation at all. And this is on healthcare, probably the most directly impactful issue faced by their actual voter base.

                Messaging and propaganda are seriously like game-breaking IRL exploits.

          There’s a reason they’re so threatened by words like equity and inclusion. When the culture of your ancestors was based on exclusionary hierarchies it can be very hard to embrace all people as equal, even if that is a fabled part of the American ethos (on paper, not in practice).

      Texas also has many local abortion travel bans so you can be punished for using their roads while going to the other states if you can’t afford to fly over them.
