A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Texas hospitals and doctors are not obligated to perform abortions under a longstanding national emergency-care law, dealing a blow to the White House’s strategy to ensure access to the procedure after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion in 2022.
And they claim that they “don’t hate women they just love babies! <3 <3”
I am disgusted, but not surprised.
They just hate their political opposition.
They love everything their media tells them to.
I wonder what it would cost to secretly buy up faux news and maybe OAN and the start pushing “subversive” material. (The truth is subversive, yes?)
It would probably be easier to just make a new one. Have a few articles slamming dems, but then secretly push left wing politics in a “conservative” voice.
“Biden doesn’t have to balls to pass the Freedom Health Care Act” (which will secretly be socialized health care).
They’re so dumb they’ll believe anything of it comes from an obese red faced man yelling. Just slip “and our guns?!!!” In every so often.
I would disagree but when Fox was whining about what AOC believed in and put it on a bulleted list it was as much an eye opener as you can get into the thinking of a conservative. Specifically that they can say “caring for seniors” is a bad thing with a straight face knowing nobody would question them.
BUT MUH GUNZZZ
hah. exactly. Though, honestly… OAN and Faux news has name recognition. it’s hard to take the views from them, or to build up such a network. Remember. Fox was purposes built to sell propaganda since '96(?). we don’t have that kind of time
Well, you’re right that we don’t have that kind of time. The effort would have to be very organized, and it would cost a lot of money. I doubt that kind of funding could be raised knowing it was a farce without the truth getting out.
They’re not for sale. They’re ideological organizations. At best you’d need a decades long con to even float the idea.
everybody has a price. The more… noble… people, that price might not be cash. but every one has a price.
Murdochs? yeah, they’ll sell if it’s high enough. They’ll even keep it quiet if it’s high enough.
Love dying babies, dead moms****
Because moms aren’t women, they are moms!!!/s
Ok, to get this straight: cops do not need to protect, nor serve, and doctors do not need to save your life. I suppose life guards will get to decide whether or not they will grab a drowning child. Maybe the bathing suit is distasteful? If someone is in the street, I don’t have to stop unless I am fully comfortable doing so; I paid for my car and I shouldn’t have to risk damaging it by running someone over.
What are regulations even for? God, the government is so useless!
Hard /s
- The conservative government is useless
It’s not useless, it’s actively harmful.
Useless would be not providing funding for public health initiatives around contraception and abortions.
But actively preventing adults from making life changing medical decisions for themselves is worse than useless, it’s harmful.
Conservatives have been so committed to “the scariest words are the government saying I’m here to help” that they now aggressively make sure the government hurts people.
The Republican party needs to go the way of the Whigs.
Were the whigs beheaded? Cause, I might be more interested in that. 😇
Roll out the guillotines! *
*for display, for legal purposes. 😏
Just think of what it’ll do to all your precious momentum you already built up when you press the brakes!
Well that’s fucking sickening
Death panels are real in TX
The 5th Circuit: when you need a less legitimate court than SCOTUS.
Yeah, the 5th circuit is pretty widely known to be full of crazies. This ruling isn’t a surprise, and it’s exactly what Texas’ leadership wanted when they pushed to take it to federal court.
The Hippocrite’s Oath:
First- allow harm.
*hypocrite
Thanks. Always have a problem with that one. Gonna leave it for continuity.
Thought it was fine worked that way as a play on words.
I appreciate that. I’ve been trying to do the same thing with my comments as well (with a few exceptions). I think it’s the right way to go about things, so digital-high-five
Is there such a thing as murder by inaction? As in you could have prevented a death by taking action, and you didn’t? Sounds like this might be it.
Social Murder could be the term, but there may be a more suited one.
Social murder (German: sozialer Mord) is the unnatural death that occurs due to social, political, or economic oppression.
In Texas it’s called Negligent Homicide.
Yes, very much. Like murder by homeless sweeps destroying life saving medications. But out society accepts that much more than something like a classical murder.
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.
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.
First, do
nosome harm.I still do not understand how lawmakers are allowed to practice medicine without a doctorate.
Having just read it, I am extremely disappointed to know that the Hippocratic oath doesn’t mention anything about failing to provide care when it’s necessary.
Be kind to these people when they come to seek asylum in your state. People can change and learn from their mistakes (in the case that they voted these reps in, they might not even regret it but honey and vinegar right?)
This is the paradox of tolerance. You don’t need to show kindness to those who would sooner spit on you for no greater reason than that they hate you for being born or the circumstances of your life.
People can change, but being given a second chance is a privilege and not a right. If you fuck up badly enough, no one is obligated to forgive you. Plenty of us make it through our whole lives without being fearful little shits who dedicate our votes to hurting others. I have no tolerance for those who can’t manage that, and they’re LUCKY to get a second chance, not guaranteed.
Ah I was confused at first I was like you’re describing the solution to that paradox, but then I think your intended meaning clicked
It’s an interesting thought experiment until, like you mentioned, you consider tolerance is only for those who are themselves tolerant.
Either you play in this ball park or you don’t, simple as that
I disagree. Conservatives cannot “change and learn”. If they could, they would not be conservatives. They may temporarily pretend to change when it benefits them. But, that should not be confused with actual change or growth.
Conservatives delight in the misery, oppression and death of others. It is who they are at their core. Be extremely careful dealing with them. They do not value the lives of others the way normal people do.
This is so insanely short sighted but I guess user name checks out lol
How is that short sighted? They’ve been doing this for 300 years.
All of human history.
Lol so you’re telling me in the last 300 years (and I have absolutely no idea where you’re pulling that time frame from) not one single conservative has ever changed or learned from their mistakes. 100% of them are just pure evil and “delight in the misery, oppression, and death of others.”
On top of that you’re also saying these are core values of these people, meaning the same holds true for any current and future conservatives. They’re all pure evil and utterly incapable of change or learning anything… Permanently.
I not a fan at all of conservatives by and large but I know plenty level headed non-bat shit crazy conservatives and (to my knowledge) they do not hold a party any time people die or someone gets oppressed lol.
This doesn’t sound the least bit strange to you?
I hope my blue state builds a fucking wall.
I am in NM sand Texas is currently building a wall on our border. I am unsure if they are lost, or are trying to keep people from fleeing their state.
Texas is a garbage state in a shithole of a country.
evil goes by the name “far right” currently
That’s not even far right. That’s the mainstream right
2 of those justices were ones that Schumer fast tracked under Trump so Congress could start their recess on time.
