    Texas, the “please tread on me harder” state.

    Texas has been Republican controlled for almost 3 decades. This travesty is what they want. Just as the town of Uvalde overwhelmingly voted Republican again.

    They don’t reflect, they don’t learn. Texas is the biggest blowhard in the Union.

    Judaism and Islam tend to be more strict with their laws and every topic has been discussed at length millennia ago. Yet both religions aren’t anywhere near as restrictive as some of the abortion laws passed in the US, to the point these restrictive laws infringe upon the religious freedom of Jewish and Muslim women. As I understand Christianity doesn’t concern itself with abortion yet Christian nationalists in the US are obsessed with it. Perhaps their obsession is more nationalistic and less religious.

      I think you rightfully notice that the way out of this is bullshit is through influencing religious sects and institutions

    Every prolife dipshit is the same when something is wrong with their pregnancy “my abortion matters” or “my abortion is different”

    The prolife movement is a bunch of self-serving hypocrites that go to church

      The best way to whack at the hypocrites is to be in their congregations to respond to their bullshit directly in person

    This is gonna be very insensitive, but ever since Americans gave a well known rapist and resident creep the presidency in a clear victory, I kinda stopped giving a shit about em. Americans routinely shit on the same human values the rest of the free world aspires to. Just read the UN human rights, Republicans openly oppose most of what’s written there and Democrats don’t care much either.

    I mean women dying horrifying deaths in Russia, India or China rarely make the news, why should America be any different? It’s fucking sad, but apparently that’s what the American people want. Who am I to impose my foreign way of life on em? I was clearly mistaken to belive that the US has anything in common with us.

      Why would you? We dug the hole, we’ll either bootstrap ourselves out of it or start Hitler 2.0 with an established military complex and nukes.

      Just be more accurate: it’s about 25% of americans who are traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump. It’s way not even close to half, to say nothing of all.

      If this person was one of them, then yes, do save your sadness for elsewhere. Otherwise, it’s like it happening to you.

        Which means that less than 25% were willing to stand against the traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump.

        I don’t feel better about the situation

        25%. That makes every forth person in the streets a fascist. And then another large chunk are fascist enablers or apologists, considering the fact that they stand unopposed. If you want to say “Not all Americans”, I got a newsflash. “Not all Chinese citizens” and “Not all Russians”. Some absolutely wonderful people live in these countries and most just want to live happy lives, free from all this bullshit. All I’m saying is I no longer see an excuse to pretend like America is any different and is most definitely not a worthy partner of the free world. Or being in my news feed as if it was my neighbor.

        The only difference for now is that we relied on the US as our largest partner and thus it has more power to fuck our lives over too, but that’s temporary and something we have only ourselves to blame for. The signs were on the wall all along, and yet we believed America was somehow better. If Americans are fucking stupid, then we’re fucking delusional.

          I am glad I went to visit America back in the day when it was still somewhat okay. It was 10 years ago. I wouldn’t be able to visit again with a clear conscience.

      You’re right, it is insensitive. These women are suffering because the majority of voters suck. They may have voted a certain way, and then they might deserve it. But even then my guess is a big chunk of trump voters have no idea what the actual effect of his plans are, and are victims of propaganda.

      Sure people are suffering elsewhere, but it’s always sad to see a country regress in freedom and health.

    She was 18. She was still a kid.

    How can they call themselves pro-life?

    How can they say they are protecting the children?

    The fact there are still doctors and nurses in women’s care in Texas at all baffles me. It’s not like there’s no jobs in sane states, Texas isn’t even that cheap anymore.

    High time to rebrand the self-proclaimed “pro-life” movement as what they in reality are: anti-life
