Leopards Ate My Face

This may get downdooted to oblivion, but I think some of this is human nature. It is abhorrent, and something we need to strive to fix, but it is rather natural for people to think that their own situation is typical -- because for them, it is. Every exemplar that a privileged person will have is also a privileged exemplar -- until, of course, something like this happens.

And as a further consequence, it is extremely difficult to convince someone that their personal situation is not the norm. Everyone wants to be the main character and ultimately believes that they are.

Not sure what the solution is.

"First they came for..." you fucking ghouls.

You signed a death warrant for us all and for our children's supposed future, and your ignorance and cowardice was the ink.

For what it's worth, this particular case happened 2 years ago, in Missouri:

The poor dear has learned the consequences of voting against her interests far too late. I laughed, but at the same time I'm worried about those who voted in their interests and got fucked over.

Aww man Im all out of fucks

I am rapidly running out of sympathy for such people. I still have some, but I am rapidly running out.

The only moral abortion is MY abortion!

Reminds me of brexit. You were warned, lady. You just chose not to listen because you didn’t think it would have a negative impact on you.

God’s plan, bruh.

And nothing was actually learned.

"then connected Farmer with an anti-abortion crisis pregnancy center in the state"

I can imagine how that conversation went: "I know its risking not only your reproductive organs, but also your life. However, have you considered carrying the child to term so she can die in your arms shortly afterward so you can 'pwn the libs'? Think about their tears!"

Hmmm. This sounds a lot like Karma.

Good. I hope she suffers. She is apparently one of the knuckle draggers who can only learn the hard way.

It's a sad reality that most pro-life stance people don't understand that most pro-choice people are also pro-life. It certainly doesn't help that some extremists rant loudly about 9th month abortions. But a lot of people who don't like the idea of abortion still understand the need for it, both medical and otherwise, and believe the decision should rest with the parent and doctor, not the government. If there was more open an honest communication then there probably wouldn't be as many single-issue voters voting Republican because of this issue.

She probably still believes all the bullshit too. "too many women are just getting post birth abortions for the funsies" Just the fakest stupidest lies.

Now I do know and understand the risks along with what is involved with a hysterectomy, but her age along with her political stance brings some questions.

With her being 'mostly pro-life'... Was she against contraception? Did she get pregnant on purpose? Did she know the level of risk to the mother and fetus with a pregnancy after 40? She said she was worried about losing her uterus... Was she wanting to get pregnant again? Did she know she's just around the corner from menopause? Being around her age, the option for freezing one's eggs can be a viable option, especially with the possibility of needing a hysterectomy. Would she be against a surrogate pregnancy?
