Here's a good indication of the level of ignorance we are up against.

1. Texas State Senator Wendy Davis is a “terrorist” because she filibustered an anti-choice bill.

2. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

3. Who needs abortion when victims of sexual assault can just get “cleaned out” by a rape kit?

4. Women shouldn’t terminate pregnancies resulting from rape because it’s what God intended.

5. Women shouldn’t complain about forced transvaginal ultrasounds, because they’ve already had sex.

6. “If babies had guns, they wouldn’t be aborted.”

7. “Abortion is much more serious than the rape of children by priests.”

8. Abortion rights caused the Sandy Hook massacre.

9. Ban abortions because of masturbating fetuses.

10. Abortion is just like the Holocaust.

Didn’t we already have this thread once today? Did you lose it?
 
Welcome to the relics of the Republican Party... ignorant ideological lunatics speaking to the masses dumb enough to believe the things illustrated by the OP examples.

Dangerous people that the history books will not be kind to.
 
The meme is outdated.
You probably didn't even notice this.
ALL people mentioned above are no longer serving as elected officials.

Too funny.
Got anything else?

Of course you do.

Yeah, we understand they figured out not to say that stupid **** in public anymore.
 
wtf?

If a 12 year old is raped by her father and the father takes her to get an abortion, the evidence of the crime will be destroyed and he will go on molesting his victim for years. If however the child is born, his crime will be discovered and she will be rescued from the abuse.

Matt Walsh on Twitter: "If a 12 year old is raped by her father and the father takes her to get an abortion, the evidence of the crime will be destroyed and he will go on molesting his victim for years.

I take it this moron doesn't know that DNA tests can be performed on an aborted fetus too. :doh
 
I wonder how many abortions Donald Trump has paid for.

I've thought the same thing countless times. I'll bet he could fill half the Senate with his spurned spawn.

Except for the fact that four states just passed really retarded anti-choice laws, including a ban on abortion for victims of rape and incest, you might have had a point.

How does that change what I wrote above?

Oh wait, it doesn't.

In fairness, if you are pro-life you should support being pro-life for a fetus' conceived of rape or incest.

Sure because a rape victim should be tormented by her rapist for 9 months because morons believe a zygote is no different than a three-year-old on a tricycle :roll:

And yet they do not care that weeks olds embryos are discarded in the incinerator every day at IVF clinics everyday.

Why is it ok to destroy the embryos that were not used in the IVF treatment ?

If pro life people consider the embryo in the womb as human life.

Why don’t Pro life think the extra embryos no longer needed for IVF can just be thrown away with the medical waste?

From the following :

The Paradox of the IVF Clinic and the Abortion Clinic: Are Some Embryos More Persons Than Others?



IVF treatments are performed in close to 400 centers nationwide. Over 60,000 babies are born each year through fertility treatments—including, as Daily Mail notes, some of Mitt Romney’s own grandchildren.

Many of these treatments involve the disposal of unused embryos, cultivated from fertilization through to weeks-old in development, that weren’t selected for implantation.

One IVF treatment might yield as many as 20 “surplus” embryos.


An ART Embryo Lab survey conducted by the CDC in 1999 found that labs employed a variety of techniques to handle surplus embryos. Fifty-even percent (57%) of labs report that they “immediately discard” them, through incineration as medical waste, for example;

And from the following:
Fertility clinics destroy embryos all the time. Why aren’t conservatives after them?


In contrast, all my husband and I had to do was sign a form. Our competence to choose the outcome of our embryo was never questioned. There were no mandatory lectures on gestation, no requirement that I be explicitly told that personhood begins at conception or that I view a picture of a day-five embryo. There was no compulsory waiting period for me to reconsider my decision.
In fact, no state imposes these restrictions — so common for abortion patients — on patients with frozen embryos. With rare exceptions, the government doesn’t interfere with an IVF patient’s choices except to resolve disagreements between couples.

The disparity between how the law treats abortion patients and IVF patients reveals an ugly truth about abortion restrictions: that they are often less about protecting life than about controlling women’s bodies. Both IVF and abortion involve the destruction of fertilized eggs that could potentially develop into people. But only abortion concerns women who have had sex that they don’t want to lead to childbirth. Abortion restrictions use unwanted pregnancy as a punishment for “irresponsible sex” and remind women of the consequences of being unchaste: If you didn’t want to endure a mandatory vaginal ultrasound , you shouldn’t have had sex in the first place .

Yup, it's definitely President Trump's fault.

Once again we get to the heart of the matter by post #3.

Which is precisely why the pro-birth movement is so full of ****.

The scotus ought to grow a set of balls and stop acting like the partisan ****s that they are and simply issue a decree; abortion is the law of the land and we will uphold precisely what roe says and there will be no further rulings from this court limiting that right.

If they did that this issue would finally be resolved.

As it stands I have zero confidence that this court will not further allow states to exert religious moral fiat over the constituency of those states.

Going after IVF clinics directly would be the death of those pro-pregnancy groups.

Got a source to support that?
 
This is unusually candid

This totally explains why the least compassionate people in the USA are all pro-fetus.
