They should be punished if they harass other people who are just trying to use the bathroom.

Well, that’s just what hetero dudes have done for centuries! That’s normal. Trans people peeing next to you tho, that’s yucky.

Because their base still believes it’s true. I clicked on an anti-choice article recently on some insane right-wing website, and the comments were full of PP sells baby parts BS. One brave soul stepped in to point out that this has in fact been disproved, and then that person was attacked by a barrage of “THE…

Because while selling baby parts doesn’t generate a profit, soliciting donations from right-to-lifers while saying you’ll get to the bottom of the baby-part-selling scandal does.

I wonder if it’d quickly quell their quaint little Quixotic quests (ALLITERATION!) if a law was passed that made them financially liable for the cost of these inquiries?

It’s counter to the GOP party platform to allow government to function. How could they campaign on the promise of fixing anything if they actually fixed anything?

FFS - how about you useless fucktards do some real work?

Why do toddlers throw tantrums? They haven’t gotten their way yet, regardless of the wisdom or logic of their “way”.

FFS! Why are we still on this?

Well, look at it this way. His delusion allows him to feel like HE’S the one being victimized by the Sandy Hook shooting - since it was “fake” in order for the government to “take his guns”.

There’s an intense need on the part of some pretty unpersecuted people to feel persecuted.

True. I believe that. And there could be situations where there’s familial or societal pressure not to have a mixed race baby. But....so what? That’s shitty but we can’t get into the business of policing why women want abortions. You can’t do that without eroding the right to choose. I think bodily autonomy trumps…

Agreed. I mean, that’s a shitty situation, what happened to your friend. Do I personally agree with aborting a fetus based on race or gender? No. Putting aside that I think, as you said, it’s such a rare problem that it doesn’t warrant legislation, I simply don’t think it’s my place or the government’s place to police…

are you sure those women actually exist? or are they anti-choicers’ sock puppets?

And quite a few of those stories are satire or originated from /pol/

One of the best arguments I’ve heard against restricting abortion is basically the organ donor comparison: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/8/1…

Exactly, want to reduce abortion? Then make contraception easy to get, make it economically feasible for the family to support another child.

Did you see Sam Bee’s piece on how poor women have trouble affording diapers for their kids? And how Republicans think these women shouldn’t be able to pay for diapers with food stamps? And if you can’t afford to buy diapers, you probably should have thought about that before you went and got yourself pregnant, slut?

We are still paying them to talk about it and vote on it, while not talking about or voting on things that actually matter.

Why would they do that when it’s just so much easier to pretend WoC are all sluts who have an abortion every 6 months??

If legislators care SO DAMN MUCH about black and brown babies, they could, you know, address the poverty, lack of educational opportunity, lack of parental leave and affordable childcare options, shitty sex ed and access to contraception and reproductive care, and myriad other factors that actually influence into…
