Makes me wonder what the pro-life types think of this. They never seem to get upset when pregnant workers are mistreated, even when it causes injury, a miscarriage (which is bad enough from the pro-choice mindset but shouldn’t that be “UPS literally murdered a baby” for the anti-choicers?) or in this case the death of…

“You have to understand, at the time I thought I could buy a cage, or a least a mask.”

That’s it exactly. These rules are for THOSE PEOPLE, not good, upstanding tax paying Christians like her.

I’m sure she believed what the legislators have been saying — that in cases like hers, when the mother’s life was in danger and the fetus was dying anyway, there would be an exception,

I’m sure she believed what the legislators have been saying...

Hopefully this horrible experience will open her eyes, and she will get involved to ensure others do not have to experience what she did.

She’ll still convince herself to vote Republican in November though.

I mean, a government running on biblical Jesus’s direct teachings as they appear in the book, would probably be largely okay for a bunch of people. The big problem seems to be those drawn to be theocrats, and everything they bring to the party.

I’m sure she believed what the legislators have been saying — that in cases like hers, when the mother’s life was in danger and the fetus was dying anyway, there would be an exception, because of course there would. But the law’s not written to protect women or the doctors who save them; it’s written explicitly to…

I think about this constantly. There are so many people who literally don’t realize rule under Christianity is jus as terrible as under any other religion or they know and they don’t care.

It’s not like we have a whole period of human history to look at how awful it was, and how awful it still is wherever religion and…

Even though the competition is fierce, Jack Left Town has my vote for stupidest Kinja comment of the day. It’s not the most vicious (though it is quite cruel) nor the most racist (though it is stunningly bigoted). But in terms of being a proud moron with terminal Dunning-Kruger syndrome, this takes the cake.

There’s a big difference between being free to wear something because of your own religious beliefs and being forced to wear it by your government.

The human body is incredibly complicated. The pregnant one even more so. The universe of abnormal things that can happen is near-infinite. Which is why it makes sense for the default position of the law to be “you can terminate a pregnancy without government interference.”

So she supports the abortion ban, just not for herself.

So when her "pro-life" self realized she had to die for her beliefs, she suddenly wanted the right to choose? Funny how that works.

Confronted with the actual reality of a woman at serious risk of death due to a fetus with zero chance of survival, this politician still couldn’t countenance an exception to an abortion ban.

Right up until it happens to them, of course. 😡 

I guarantee he knew exactly what it was and didn’t care.  You can’t be anti-abortion and care about women at the same time.

In fairness, I’m sure the anti-abortion crisis pregnancy center offered both thoughts and prayers!

DID CORDEN APOLOGIZE TO THE STAFF?

This is such a betrayal to front of house. Way to go, management.
