She'll keep voting Republican so I doubt she learned her lesson.

I'm all in favor of people learning from their experiences, so we'll see.

Or maybe we won't, as she likely won't be a headline after the fact. So I guess we'll never know.

What's your opinion on anti-vaxxers having severe cases of and/or dying from covid?

I'd like to feel compassion for her but I don't. She gets to experience the very thing she has been trying to force on others for decades.

It's not dumb crap, it's a fair assumption to make given that it regularly happens and that pro-lifers are generally incredibly hypocritical and make allowances for themselves to get abortions.

She's also not dying, she's fine now. Is this another of those situations where you don't read the article and just spew ignorance?

You can be empathetic to ones situation while still also criticizing the actions they took previously. What a silly post.

Yeah, the real takeaway here is that these laws end up having terrible consequences for women, even women who supported them. What this woman is going through is both tragic and avoidable.

Following the publication of this article, Farmer clarified that when referring to herself as pro-life, she meant in her own personal instance, and that in her political beliefs she is "pro-choice:" " It is not my place to judge or force what anothers decisions should be."

https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/ozarks/2022/10/19/missouri-laws-abortion-ban-left-her-with-a-baby-dying-inside-pprom/10366865002/

She was hardly some national advocate for pro life positions that was actively impacting the lives of women. She was a regular person who apparently held a personal pro life belief but regardless of whether or not she was inclined to impose that upon others previously it's clear where she stands now.

There is no reason to have anything but sympathy for this person in this situation, IMHO.

Have you only just found out that the far-right are hypocritical liars?

The politicians, yes. The voters...I figured abortion was a rare issue in that most people's stances, they were true believers. A pro-choice person genuinely believes abortion is the murder of babies. Like, if they were in that position, they'd see it through instead of going "wait nvm, it's okay in this one instance for me". But they go for an abortion right quick when it happens to them. >_>

Yes. I read an account years ago that described an event where a woman who had been picketing the abortion clinic one day came in with her daughter to get the procedure done for her. While the abortion was being performed, the mother was telling the staff that this didn't change anything and that they were still evil for providing abortions, and the next day the mother was right back outside protesting the clinic.

It might have been in that link posted above and maybe I'm misremembering the details at this point, but it's been a long time since I've read it.

People like that deserve to have their medical privacy violated. Let all their friends know they or their family have had an abortion.

I wonder what the spot pattern was like on the leopard that ate her face.

This is literally what she wanted and voted for.

I'm sure she's told plenty of rape victims and victims of incest they should be forced to carry that pregnancy to term, so fuck her.

I remember when this was posted on the Politics board last year when it first happened, Still have the same opinion i did then

I feel bad that she had to go through this even though her views pretty much force this on others.. But i also still call her out on what did she expect, Pro-Choice supporters have said for years what the GQP wanted would lead to this and that it would hurt them just as much

Completely different case as you have total control over which vaccines you take. Whereas most women don't have control over the laws that dictate their birth giving. Sure you can have activists that harass people outside and inside of clinics but that isn't the majority of people. I grew up with a lot of conservative people that were pro-life and Even my own mother was pro-life. She just didn't like babies dying but still saw the value in abortion. She even aborted one or two before I came into the world so she could prioritize her career.

I know we shit on the modern Republican but I swear they use to be decent? people 20 or so years ago. I would disagree with many of their takes but they at least had a decent baseline for ethics. DECENT. Not good.

Now? I can probably only get one to agree that what? Murder is wrong? Thats it? Even then it depends on who you talk to because many of them wanted to hang Mike Pence so Yea

LOL 20 years ago was the nadir of the Iraq War years, when "all liberals love terrorists" was considered reasonable conservative discourse.

Last time Republicans were normal was Teddy Roosevelt. In the 20s they got the country into the great depression, then they wanted to stay out of WW2 and let Hitler take over the world, then they got obsessed with hating FDR and his dog. Eisenhower was decent but the 50s was the era of Robert Taft who basically invented modern "conservatism" by being a non-interventionist who destroyed unions and was against executing Nazis because reasons, and called everything he didn't like socialism. Goldwater was insane and so was Nixon and they gave us Reagan who was Nixon with a sense of humor.

Amazing how nothing but the names have changed a century later.

Dangerous economic policies
Palling around with Nazis
Union busting
More Nazi friendships
"sOcIaLiSm!!"
Reaganomics

etc.

This is the second time today I've seen the word "nadir" and from two different posters. Meanwhile, I don't think I've ever seen that word before today.
