DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus.

“I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”

That is literally what they voted for. They actually voted for the mother not to be allowed to have a choice in the matter.

This is what single digit IQ looks like folks.

“I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”

Her community, her family, her school, her state, and our shared society failed this woman. That is some bottom tier comprehension and critical thinking that has to cultivated by basically everyone in her life.

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

Took me a few tries to get past the fact it wasn't a satire.

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 86 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So cool we have headlines censoring died now. Though some random Iowa lady getting the care she voted for isn’t exactly news I suppose

[–] Steve@startrek.website 19 points 22 hours ago

Engagement bait

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 74 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What kind of shitty ass news website censors the word died? Shit needs to be blacklisted.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 39 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

It seems to be basically a blog, run by one woman who calls herself an "independent journalist."

The "article" has gems like this:

For years, Djukanovic proudly stood with the Leopard Party, cheering on their platform of “protecting the unborn” and “getting the government out of our lives” (while simultaneously putting the government into everyone’s doctors’ offices). However, the celebratory mood shifted last month when a Leopard walked into her own living room and began sizing up her forehead.

That’s some beautiful prose.

Excellent opportunity to remind everyone of this classic of feminist writing: “The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion” - When the Anti-Choice Choose, by Joyce Arthur.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 26 points 10 hours ago

Loved that one, recommend everyone to read it through at least once.

The lady telling the nurse "you're going to hell for this you know" while she's on the GOD DAMN TABLE getting herself an abortion is absolutely wild. I honestly can't see how any of these people can be reasoned with.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 46 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

In truth that jackass probably had no idea what any of it meant until it applied to her.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 41 points 20 hours ago

Every conservative voter ever. And to make matters worse, they'd probably say there should be an exception for them but other women in an identical condition should have to risk death.

Critical thinking and empathy are both foreign concepts to them.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 25 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

This is the problem with these people. This won't lead to some epiphany because they still refuse to accept that they actually voted for this.

She didn't actually bother to read any of the flyers and just came up with her own interpretation of what was being promised. Then voted for that imagined reality.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago (7 children)

As a general rule conservatives can't imagine how horrible a situation is until it applies to them. This is why empathy should be taught in school.

“I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”

That's literally pro-choice, dawg. "Pro-life" is literally pro-birth even for a non-viable fetus at your own expense.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 34 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

Pro-life isn't pro-birth, it's forced-birth. It's "I will strap you down to a table against your will and watch you die, if I have to, to make sure it happens."

Not even death can save you from me

Most accurate distillation of the policy to date

Thoughts and prayers:

  • Thought: I think she is quite stupid.

  • Prayer: May she suffer from her life choices, and then rot in hell.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 hours ago

One in the thought two in the prayer, a nice change up.

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 27 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Haha. Michele Stills might suddenly be my new favorite editorialist. This was quite an amusing and incisive read.

Don't get me wrong, my heart goes out to these folks (despite their obstinate stupidity) because no one should have to suffer the trauma and anguish they've gone through. But assuming the coverage is accurate, they've 100% supported the abuse all along, and that's pretty fucked up.

EDIT: Also I don't see the supposed censorship people are claiming. The victim here was quoted as saying "I almost died" and it also includes the word "dying" so it seems fine to me. But I load this shit in Firefox Focus with an ad-blocking VPN so YMMV.

The headline says "d!ed." With an exclamation point instead of an i.

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 4 points 8 hours ago

Oh duh, my brain skipped right over that. So corny. Thanks.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 27 points 19 hours ago

She’s getting what she voted for. It’s a Christmas miracle. I’m happy for her

"Trump voter is malicious idiot until own face eaten"

This is not news.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Often still after having their face eaten

Are we not allowed to say "died" anymore?

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago

I hate the word police, the grammar nazis were better.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

~~Really~~ Almost makes me wish she had.

Can somebody bump the record player? It's skipping again.

And a one and a two and a three and a four. And a two in the thoughts and a one in the prayers.

My wife was denied medical care in Texas because she might be pregnant. There was no reason to think she might be, but they still wouldn't perform her mammogram, which was scheduled to follow up on a lump she found.

She ended up taking a pregnancy test in a Whataburger bathroom near the doctor's office. That's the state of medical care in Texas for women.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Absolutely zero sympathy and both of them can piss in the wind. Stupid fucks.
