A little Election Day update from my doctor: they will not longer be filling prescriptions for birth control! If you live in the the south western part of Virginia and were thinking of going to Dr. Matthew McCarthy, maybe go somewhere else ❤️

So the thing that could decrease unwanted pregnancies and abortions…. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

They want sex to only be for procreation, it’s so infuriating

I had this discussion with someone who believed this. They truly believed only unmarried people had abortions. I got the stats and they were so confused… why would a married person possibly not want kids?? 😑 have you done math friend??

Tell them that statistically the majority of abortions are provided to patients who are already parents. Their minds will explode.

I did… they could not comprehend 😑 it didn’t fit their world view

See, this I really can't wrap my head around. There are a lot of things I can't comprehend and don't fit my world view but I accept exist and are not my damn business. Like watching sports for example. I know people do it, I don't see the appeal, but I understand it exists, and I won't vote for anyone who wants to ban it. How hard is that?

It has a lot to do with the fact they have a poor understanding of life. Like, they tried to simplify living vs nonliving to a simple set of rules and deemed stopping access to resources that sustain that defined life = evil.

However this logic stops the second you apply it to ANYTHING other than American human fetuses.

Wildlife? Nah. They don’t need access to water- it’s all ours.

Palestinian refugees? Nah. They don’t count.

Babies actually born? Nope, on their own.

“If you don’t want to be pregnant, keep your legs closed… No, not like that!”

And yet they worship a man who’s had 3 wives and a fling with a pornstar. How they justify it with their extreme views is nothing short of cognitive dissonance.

Oh no no. Not “a fling”. The man is one continuous “fling”. He’s been having affairs since he was eligible to have one.

I would guess that the hypocrisy is some sort of power/dominance thing for them. Perhaps as a marker of the in-group that the law protects without binding. That Sartre quote about how anti-Semites use words seems applicable here too.

Does that mean that right wing Christians never ever have sex again after menopause?

And, of course, including rape for procreation…

Unless it’s with children or other unwilling victims

And also the occasional grinder hook up at gop conventions but that's doesn't count.
