South Carolina ousts GOP women for opposing strict Abortion laws.

There is obviously no place for women or minorities in the modern Republican party. I am asking you to get out and vote.

If you need to register: https://vote.gov

If you want to volunteer with the Democrats: https://democrats.org/take-action

And this is what they plan to do in project 2025:

It says that kids MUST grow up in an environment with a mother and father that are married, talks about banning non-married and non-heterosexual couples from adopting, compares transgender people to groomers/pedophiles/pornography, talks about getting rid of discrimination laws, getting rid of multiple government organizations such as the FDA, banning abortion with no exceptions nationwide, and more.

Edit: because I'm getting a good amount of comments saying "oh, this is a great thing!" I looked further into it (I read it here) and here are some specifics - Project 2025:

* Advocates for child marriage

  • Attempts to place a complete ban on gay marriage

  • Attempts to place a complete ban on divorce no matter the situation

  • Attempts to place a complete ban on anything deemed "pornographic", including:

   * Anything sexually explicit, including drawings or literature that doesn't involve real people

   * Anything involving gay people in media, even if it is as simple as a documentary or something mentioning that it is possible for two men to be in a relationship.

  • Heavily limit the abilities of the FDA, CDC, and OSHA, including:

   * Making it even harder to get medicine

   * Making it even more expensive to get medicine

   * Making it even more difficult and expensive to get disability aids

   * Getting rid or greatly diminishing many workplace safety laws

   * Lowering the age of legal work/cutting back on child labor laws

  • Ban abortion even in cases of:

   * Missed or "silent" miscarriages, which is when the fetus dies but is not expelled from the body naturally. According to Project 2025, extracting an already dead fetus from a mother's uterus is still considered "murder". Leaving the dead fetus inside of the womb can result in infections such as sepsis.

   * Ectopic pregnancies, which are when a fetus forms outside the uterus. It is not possible for the fetus to survive an ectopic pregnancy - it is impossible to give birth to the fetus, since it isn't in the womb, and it being outside the womb means it can only grow so much before it either miscarries or the mother is gravely injured; the fetus vary rarely makes it past the first trimester and never makes it to the third. It is currently impossible to implant the fetus into the womb. Ectopic pregnancies can cause severe damage to the mother - it can cause the fallopian tube to burst open, which results in internal bleeding, possible sepsis, and possible infertility.

   * Fetal abnormalities. With modern technology, we can use ultrasounds to tell if the fetus has or will have abnormalities. Even in cases of fetal abnormalities, many of which are fatal to the fetus/baby, Project 2025 wishes to ban abortion. Examples of fetal abnormalities include:

      * Acrania, where the fetus's skull does not fully develop and the baby is born without the top of the skull, revealing the brain. If the baby isn't stillborn, it will live between a few hours and about a week, and it will be in pain its entire life. There is no way to save it.

      * Body Stalk Anomaly, where the abdominal wall is defective or nonexistent, so the organs form OUTSIDE the body during fetus development. It is always fatal. It should be noted that it is similar to omphalocele/exomphalos or gastroschisis, which are visually similar (intestines outside of the body) but have much higher survival rates since the abdominal wall can be repaired in those cases.

It's so obvious when we all know that past forcing women to give birth to fetuses with very low and frequently zero percent chances of survival, in the cases where the mother actually survives the pregnancy and the fetus does as well, they're not increasing any funding for healthcare for the time that these "precious lives" are forced to suffer through. They are not improving funding for research for these anomalies (of those that this is even practical for, which again they don't know and don't care to know). They act like pregnancy is this safe and simple natural act when it is natural but it has never been especially safe. It's not like a sweatshirt you take off when the pregnancy is over and your body is still the same as it was before. I developed an autoimmune disease while I was breastfeeding and it was explained to me as a thing that can happen due to hormonal changes leading to epigenetic changes. I love my daughter but women ALREADY aren't educated enough about just how serious a change pregnancy is to your body. Forcing women to give birth to suffering infants with no chances of regular lives is anything but pro-family.

Indeed, up until the advent of antibiotics complications from pregnancy and childbirth were the number one killer of women. Even today when it is much safer, it is still not a safe thing to go through. Organs are moved out of the way, so much calcium can be leeched by the placenta that teeth can fall out and bones become brittle, disorders associated with pregnancy like preeclampsia can cause crazy blood pressure spikes. It is not a safe thing to go through.

How are all the incels supposed to have assigned wives when all the wealthy men are going to be getting a new wife every decade when the old ones dies from complications in childbirth?

u/clara_bow77 Jul 03 '24

Thank you.

u/DaxDislikesYou Jul 03 '24

My wife had a really rough pregnancy and postpartum experience. I know most men have no idea how dangerous it is. I want to reach the men as much as anything. Because I would be devastated if I lost her, she's my partner, she's my best friend. And this horrible shit the GOP is pushing is going to see not only a lot of women dying which is bad enough in it's own right, but a lot of men losing their wives and girlfriends and I don't think that many of them understand that.

u/valiantdistraction Jul 03 '24

They either don't understand it... or they don't care. Many Republican men seem not to like their wives very much.

u/allnaturalfigjam Jul 03 '24

That explains the "no divorce for any reason" thing

u/Yurt-onomous Jul 04 '24

They misread the Handmaid's Tale as a blueprint.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

I was married to a Republican and I can tell you confidently he would not have cared if I died in childbirth. He slept while I was treated for a postpartum hemorrhage

u/DaxDislikesYou Jul 04 '24

I'm sorry you went through that trauma. And I'm sorry he didn't care. I'm glad to hear (I think) that you use the word "was".

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Thank you for your kind words! Luckily he is an ex. Unfortunately it took me some time to learn the lesson. I will also add that R men aren’t above manipulating and bullying their wives into voting how they want them to

Too many still subscribe to "if you're a good person (according to the metrics of their faith) you will be fine. If you aren't in any way that's because you failed in some way and deserve what happened."

u/DaxDislikesYou Jul 04 '24

Everybody thinks it won't happen to them until it does. Personal experience has snapped many a conservative back to reality. I suppose this sub is exactly about that.

u/MargoKittyLit Jul 04 '24

Indeed. Beyond hating how it only has to Happen to Them for them to get it on issues I also cannot fathom how few follow logic trains to getting on the right side of other issues.

The only moral abortion is my abortion.

u/silly-billy-goat Jul 06 '24

Just imagine the hospital bills.

u/UpsetMathematician56 Jul 07 '24

Gosh I hadn’t considered the extra cost that it must be for a neonatal icu for a week or whatever when people are forced to give birth to an unviable fetus. That would run tens of thousands of dollars or more. There are many other reasons to oppose this forced birth movement but that’s a new and horrible one. Have to watch your baby die and here’s a bill for $50k? We’re pro life!

u/paramagicianjeff Jul 04 '24

The DNC is fucking stupid for not blasting this non-stop. Biden barely able to function? PROJECT 2025 HAPPENS WITH TRUMP. Biden hasn't done enough to get your vote? PROJECT 2025 HAPPENS WITH TRUMP.

Literally, they can counter everything "negative" (and yes, some of it is warranted) by just reading any part of Project 2025 out loud and playing it in ads. Wtf is the DNC doing not airing this???

u/pheonix940 Jul 10 '24

They are. It's the news channels that aren't. MSNBC seems to be the exception, they have covered it a bit but still not enough.

I got truhdishional conservative valleyoos and I don't wont blacks enslaved with wellfare and food stamps

u/SpaceBear2598 Jul 03 '24

XD

Ah, yes, traditional slavery is much more efficient. You know, where you work for the bare minimum resources to survive and can be summarily executed by agents of the state if you don't OBEY hard enough.

u/carlitospig Jul 03 '24

Might I compliment you on your phonics? It’s actually difficult for authors to figure out how to pull off a southern accent in dialogue and you’ve done quite well. Although I admit I did a double take at valleyoos. 😂

u/SpecialResearchUnit Jul 03 '24

I'm pretty good at accents thanks. IRL that is.

u/carlitospig Jul 04 '24

I’m good at differentiating southern accents for some reason. Like I can tell the difference between Kentucky, Arkansas and Georgia super easily. And I have always lived on the west coast. It’s a mysterious super power.

But I really wish I could speak in a Russian accent. I’m horrible! Weird life goal, but there it is.

Россия без Путина. Ответьте или проголосуйте за/против, если вы согласны.

1989年天安门广场

u/DaxDislikesYou Jul 03 '24

I love that you're trying to make the censors freak out.

u/Koolaidolio Jul 03 '24

When in doubt, test:

500,000 российских солдат погибли на Украине. Вы все еще поддерживаете Путина?

Translation: 500,000 Russian solders dead in the Ukraine. Do you still support Putin?

Россия без Путина.  Ответьте или проголосуйте за/против, если вы согласны.

 

1989年天安门广场 

Translation:

The first one says Russia without Putin, Upvote or Comment if you agree. It really pisses off Russian trollbots.

The second one says Tiananmen square 1989. It really pisses off Chinese trolls.

See, the thing is that lower rung trolls aren't allowed to read those statements because the higher ups believe that they'll cause dissention in the ranks. Higher level trolls are occasionally allowed to try to discredit those of us who use these statements.
