How many babies will you and your church members adopt to prevent abortions?

surrendering a baby for adoption is not like giving a puppy away to a good home.

How many mothers and children are these misogynist cretins supporting?

Yeah, that's what they need to do, not just take the kids away from them.

Cannot or don’t want to go through with a 9 month long pregnancy, with all the nausea, fatigue, workplace harassment, hours of brutal labor, and other complications that may arise. And they shouldn’t have to and they shouldn’t have to justify their decision to anyone. To me, adoption is not the answer.

...unless the baby is the wrong gender, or has birth defects, isn’t white enough, isn’t cute enough, or a thousand other reasons why they can just say “I never saw you before. That’s YOUR baby.”

That's pro life

Up to age 21, and then be able to get Medicare

The days of insurance companies sucking profit out of the sick should be over. It's obscene.

Mexico can't afford to insure all its citizens, the IMSS needs to be bought into. They are trying to make sure women get prenatal care. This country has done nothing about that and we can afford national health insurance.

That’s what I used to call ‘em. Because that was and still is their objective. THEY want to own OUR bodies and have the exclusive right to decide what WE WOMEN want to do with them.

Guess they didn’t get (or take delivery on) the memo about how owning people isn’t what we aspire to do in America anymore.

I stopped reading it in the 00s because it seemed overrun with conservotrolls. I've just started looking again. Mostly, it makes me feel old but there are a few good things here and there. The conservotrolls seem to have decamped for Gab and Parler and 8chan.

Double the hypocrite because he and Babs were Planned Parenthood supporters, until they had to publicly espouse gestational slavery and institutionalized misogyny to placate the goobers.

IIRC GHWB was known as "Rubbers" way back in his congressional career due to his strong support for Planned Parenthood.

that the noble fetal moisture protector is GHW "Rubbers" Bush. "Rubbers" is what he was known as when he was an ardent advocate and supporter of Planned Parenthood, before he sold his soul to cling to Reagan's coattails.
