Pro Life only until it's born, then fuck that Life

They aren't pro-life. They are forced birth. It isn't about the baby, it's about power over women.

The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans

[–] Moah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago

She is one sick POS. Hopefully the measles will party with her one on one.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

So what's her deal, anyway?

TL;DR: 10 pounds of crazy pressed into a 5 pound sack.

This is why Republicans are stupid, a vaccine is a controlled and safe measles exposure with some risk that is 1 in a 100. You are doing the same thing with measles parties but more reckless dangerous levels of infection and putting your kid at risk of death like 1/15 if you send them to the measles parties.
