WTF
The average c/WTF enjoyer
Has he tried taking his own advice?
"I tell my daughters, 'Well, if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it,'" Regan joked on a Facebook livestream.
"That was a shameful comment," said Amber Harris, a Republican strategist, of Regan's rape remarks. The livestream's host, Adam de Angeli, told WXMI that Regan "misspoke," adding, "Maybe not the best analogy, but he was speaking extemporaneously."
That’s exactly it. When not given carefully prepared speaking points, the right says exactly what they really mean and what they really feel, which in this case is “rape is going to happen to women and they should ‘just enjoy it.’” They want a society like that.
Fuck that piece of trash
Here's a fucked up article about study done in states with abortion restrictions. Around 64,000 babies born from SA in states with abortion restrictions. And somehow we're the extremists for not wanting that, for wanting all women to have a choice.
Stop self-censorship. You can and should write what these fucks want to hide. Do not help them disguise these facts
Jesús Christ that’s so much more than I thought
A major problem with abortion on condition of rape is that it motivates false accusations.
It is an evil law supported by people who don't care about male victims.
Have some Lemmy Gold fellow egalitarian.
Who are they calling ghouls with thoughts like that
What percentage of cases would this even apply to?
Weird and fucking disturbing that you manage to make men out to be the victims here.
The vast majority of rape accusations are, in fact truthful. Like, fucking overwhelmingly so. But, who cares about the 'females' right?
Honestly, this is the kinda statement I'd expect from a rapist, simply due to the utterly vile lack of empathy for women.
And besides, who is gonna try make an accusation of rape, even when that is literally what happened, when there is no damn chance of a conviction in time to get the abortion.
You're fucking weird
Edit: I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: I don't believe this has ever, or will ever happen. Absolutely no man is getting accused of rape just so the women can get an abortion. Fucking zero. None.
And just how many abortions have been approved so far due to rape? I bet that's also zero.
Disgusting. Just fucking completely disgusting. There's are NO MALE VICTIMS TO ANTI ABORTION LAWS. Yeesh
Keep your incel shit to yourself. Fuck
Their point was that incentivising rape allegations as a means to permit an abortion will lead to a non-zero number of instances where false allegations will occur. This is correct. Men weren't being victimized, and comparing this guy with a rapist is immature and downright disrespectful to victims of rape.
If you are ok with a few more instances of men being falsely accused of rape for the greater good of women, then your thinking is analogous to the person in the original post who was ok with 1 person being raped to stop the killing of thousands of unborn babies.
Do you have any evidence for that claim?
Fear of reprisal, not wanting to get the offender in trouble or a belief that law enforcement would not help matters prevented most victims of rape from reporting what happened to them, the federal report said.
What’s happening is that people who are experiencing rape are not being allowed to choose abortion,”
“Highly stigmatized life events are hard to measure. And many survivors of sexual violence do not want to disclose that they went through this incredibly stigmatizing traumatic life event,”
Even in states with exceptions for rape, very few people got an abortion—likely because of fear and intimidation, Dickman speculates.
Yeah, it seems to be quite the opposite if I'm reading this correctly. The only ones hurt by the exceptions are the victims themselves, as always.
Dickman speculates.
I would use a penname if it were my job to write about that kind of stuff...
The original comment is creepy but the response is nonsense. Are you, the reader of my comment, doing everything possible to prevent rape? Really, everything? Do you ever sleep? Well then, what a weird way of saying you're ok with rape.
Shut up, trash mouth. Think before you speak.
Huh.
Are you doing, um, anything to even help? I doubt it.
Besides, what a pants a fire level of stupid you're putting on display. Since I sleep, I'm also ok with rape?
What the fuck ever. Weirdo.
You have a point, but you chose the wrong argument. Drag disagrees with you, but wants to see people discuss the best version of your argument, so:
As long as giving birth is legal, then rape victims will give birth to rape babies. They'll be pressured into it, or lack education, or develop an attachment to the baby. If we as a society have decided rape babies should never be born, and there is no acceptable circumstance, then we should simply outlaw giving birth. If it's illegal to have a baby, there will be no rape babies. This is the only way to stop all of them.
If you think making birth illegal is a bad idea, because you think restricting everyone's liberty is worse than letting rape victims give birth to rape babies, then there is a situation where you think rape babies are an acceptable sacrifice. This isn't a judgement, it's just a point about the reply in the image. Everyone is willing to accept rape babies in some situations. The reply is hypocrisy.
This reads like mental gymnastics to blame everyone but rapists for this problem. Obviously the victim should have the right to choose what to do like they should be able to if they have sex with someone, and me saying that doesn't make me "okay with rape" or "okay with rape babies". The comment you're replying to is a shit take and I don't get why you would take the time to try to rewrite it in order to defend it.
Drag doesn't like seeing people be misunderstood.
There is no rape too vile that I will not accept it as the price of killing people by taking away their healthcare.
Maybe I should put quotes around that. Eh, I bet it won't misused against me.
I hate to say this but babies being found in garbage bins is about to be a fairly regular occurrence.
It doesn't even stop any other abortions though. It actually increases the number of abortions.
For all the talk in the world that they prattle on about, statistics seem to be on the side of conservatives being pretty okay with child rape and marriage when compared to other groups.
Who the fuck said we had to choose either? We can live in a world with neither, and that world requires women's rights, including the right to abortion.
The real kicker is: no amount of 10yo parents is going to prevent abortions. We've been through this whole song and dance before. The abortions didn't stop, just a lot more women died.
Who the fuck said we had to choose either?
They did, and pointing that out will (I'm guessing) be met with some form of covering their ears and saying "nah nah nah I can't hear you."
I've seen the sort. When confronted with the real-world results of their moralizing, they retreat to quoting cherry-picked Bible verses and posting pictures of fetuses ("look how human she looks!").
Look how human she looks! Unknowingly points at pig fetus
Random question but I'm just wondering your position on this. Is the burden of proof on pro-choice or pro-life advocates when it comes to the humanity of a fetus? In other words, should abortion be legal until we can prove that a fetus is human or should it be illegal until we can prove it isn't? Just genuinely curious.
They're saying that an incestuous rape baby being born every year is a lesser evil than abortions being legal. They're wrong, but insofar as they believe that, they're not going to support a woman's right to choose.
It's too bad you think your Invisible Friend in the Sky who created the infinitely complex universe only gave you those two extreme opposite alternatives to choose from.
Got it.
You want to require 30,000 kids to be born to parents who don't want them, just so you can force a 10-year-old victim to birth her rapist's baby.
You want to require hundreds of loving mothers to endanger their lives by insisting that they continue to carry doomed pregnancies long after doctors have proven the fetus cannot survive and is in excruciating pain even before it is born. Why? So you can force a 10-year-old to bear her rapist's child?
Go to hell, Kaya.
They all want to ban abortions but they don't want their tax dollars "wasted" on healthcare for the mother/child, on school lunch programs, on food banks, on welfare for struggling families or bear any responsibility at all for the wellbeing of the child after its born.
Seems to me they don't care about the children at all in most cases.
I mean, this one specifically cares that a child might not be forced to birth her father-rapist's baby.
She seems to care quite a bit.
You missed an important bit. They want the ten year old raped and forced to carry their fathers child every year
Epstein didn't kill himself, as evidenced by this mf
Also those numbers are going to be way off unless you're counting things like ectopic pregnancies.
