Jesus. That's almost as dark as the reality of things.

JFC this is horrifying and heartbreaking. But that's the reality for women in Republican-ruled U.S. states, they are being denied health care. The cruelty is intentional.

Pro-Life!!!

We're so Pro-Life that we'll risk your health and even let you die!

And if you even attempt to seek medical care for this we'll kill you and the provider!

BECAUSE WE'RE SO PRO-LIFE

They are anti-women

They want live babies who grow up to be dead soldiers.

Texas has over a 50% increase in maternal fatality rates.

Quit reminding me I need to leave this place.

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

We all do/should. I don't know if it has gotten worse or if I have just started to realize how bad it actually is but, this state sucks in a lot of ways.

The evangelicals mostly say "yes", but only because they don't give a shit about women.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not correct. They actively hate women and want them to die.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They don't want them to die immediately, though.

They're supposed to keep their mouth shut and push out babies until they die...

Only if it happens to someone else.

Oh fuck that's good. Oh man, there needs to be a word to describe something like this. Where it's brilliant but deeply upsetting troubling and realistic at the same time.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

"is this a red state?" is the "is this loss?" of real life

Jesus Christ, ~~Lemmy~~ Christofascists.

FTFY. It's not Lemmy's fault that that's what's happening IRL!

Pretty hard to "think of the children," like Republicans keep demanding we do, when there are no children to give.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're erect when they think of children.

They just said "think about the children", not "help the children", or "feed the children", or "protect the children".

Just think about them. In which manner? It's up to your liking and preferences.

This was almost my Mom in 1980. She was bleeding out due to a complication from pregnancy. If the doctors hadn't performed an emergency abortion she'd have died, and I'd never have lived. Abortions save lives.

How the fuck will this reach people who believe the government is controlled by Jews who employ space lasers and drag queens?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 17 points 1 month ago

Not having words helps.

Did CAD publish that himself? No, right?

I can't believe how effective this is at tapping into our understanding of what's supposed to happen in this meme and applying it to what's actually happening in the real world. The title tells you what it's going to be and even still the message hits hard out of left field. This is how you get a point across.

What is the receptionist pointing at in the third panel and why?

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 66 points 1 month ago (16 children)

That's the exit. Because the woman is not inside.
