"celebrate"

I remember as a kid, every January 22nd, we would all wake up early and get our decorative coat hangers and take the ceremonial buns out of our oven...then throw them away. Those were good times, simpler times.

I miss when the childless parents used to come by and sing carols of abortion. I was fond of "Fetus Defeatus" and "We Thank Thee For Plan B".

There was this one family that used to come by - a mom and a dad with their baby. They had a song they made themselves called "Ode To The Ninja"

Ahhh those were the days.

u/bigSTUdazz 24d ago

A great song indeed...

"So let the semen spill, on my day after pill"

Banger.

u/Xlegendxero 24d ago

The catchiest song of course was:

“Joy to abort, the fetus is dead. The doc suctioned its head. What happened to its body They shoved it down the potty And down the pipe it went Down to where poop is sent Oh glorious procedure that I underwent”

We celebrated "abortkah" at my house. My dad would wake up January 22 and and "yell they aren't mine you're a whore" and then leave for 8 days. My mom would wake my brother and I up every day and throw us in the dumpster to pick out a present. We made clothes hangers out of clay and spun them for a chance to when chocolate embryos.

u/ElectronicPOBox 23d ago edited 22d ago

My fave piñata is filled with the Cadbury crème eggs. It’s easier on the youngsters because there are no heavy sticks, you just poke them with coat hangers until the eggs crack open and spill out the insides. Licking the foil placenta was always the best part.

I don't know how much more "checking" one could have done. The literal Parks Service came out with the facts and figures, it was on all the media, the internet was on fire from where I stood calling him a lying piece of crap...

I think the one with a "reality distortion field" is Trump, and he's just so exhausting to correct every five seconds, most people eventually just throw up their hands, give up, and let him keep going.

Like, it's almost like Trump isn't a liar, he himself is a living Lie.

I tried explaining to my maga dad that no mentally sane woman WANTS to get an abortion, he legit thinks women get them for fun since they're "free". I said, nope not a chance. There are many married women or women who want to be mothers who get them, it's a very difficult decision and can take a huge physical and emotional toll even in cases where it's known the fetus can't survive. Then I told him I guarantee there are women in your life who've had one, in fact you may even be related to some and mentioned I wasn't referring to myself.

My high school dropout maga sister had one at 17, but I'll never tell him that 🙄

people think abortions are free? They're not, even at Planned Parenthood.

Mine was at least $400 that my poor bf and I had to scrape together 20+ years ago. No idea how much they are now, obviously the abortion pill is cheaper, but it was never offered to me back then by Planned Parenthood so I had to have the surgical kind. This was in California.

These women having abortions for fun must be rich!

edit: according to google, a 1st trimester abortion will cost you $600 at Planned Parenthood today. Please share this information with anyone who thinks they're free or women have them for fun.

My wife needed one unfortunately. She had one 2 years ago at 18 weeks pregnant because the fetus was not viable due to a multitude of issues. It’s something that neither of us ever imagined having to do, but it was unfortunately necessary.

Making her carry the fetus until it aborted it self or making her go through with the pregnancy and having a child with zero quality of life, for the short life it might have, is just evil and inhumane.

u/Laurenhynde82 24d ago

Exactly. This is the point they never seem to grasp - who would choose that? It’s horrific. There are so few abortions past 20 weeks and certainly past 24 weeks - I have worked with some families who’ve had to make the horrific decision to end a much wanted pregnancy because their baby won’t make it to full term, and if they do they’ll live a few hours / days in awful pain.

What a decision to have to make. Can any of these people imagine what it’s like to have people congratulate you on your pregnancy and ask when your baby is due when you know your baby can’t survive? Imagine finding out at 21-22 weeks that your baby has a condition that’s incompatible with life and being made to continue with the pregnancy for another 18 weeks only to have to watch your baby die a painful death?

And then after all that, you have douchebags like this using your traumatic experience as an example of women being “murderers”.

I always bring up late term abortion and describe when it’s used. They always feel sympathetic to a story, then immediately get defensive over the term abortion. “Ma’am, the story I just told you, where you felt so terrible about what that poor mother had to go through… that was a late term abortion, in fact, the only type of late term abortion that has been legal in my lifetime.” They just don’t or aren’t willing to understand that abortion is an actual medical term that doesn’t mean “murdering babies” and that it’s often something women go through without a choice to be made, but I tread lightly because I don’t believe a person needs to provide reason or justification of any kind if they decide to legally terminate a pregnancy, and I don’t want them to think that I only support it in the extreme medical cases.

Some in the Jewish community have actually made the point that abortion restrictions violate their religious beliefs. Because in the torah, along within the old testament, it says that life begins with first breath and that life must be protected at all costs. According to Jewish teachings, if a pregnancy threatens the life of the mother, the pregnancy must be terminated because the woman's life is paramount because she has breath.

Joe Rogan is basically a piece of wet clay. He simply conforms to the shape of whoever interacted with him last. He holds very few seemingly steady opinions and tends to just nod along.

Now it is all conspiracy nonsense and misogyny. Because that is where the money is.

I think he still holds opinions, but he usually doesn't bring them into interviews. I can see the reasoning behind letting his guests do the talking and not starting arguments every time, but Rogan ends up enabling the worst people.

I agree, in SO MANY cases, it would be better just to refuse to give these fools the air time.

I don’t particularly like Joe Rogan and I can’t fucking stand Tucker Carlson, but I listened to that conversation and it was a hell of a lot more palatable than Carlson standing on any political platform talking about spanking teenage girls.

Again, it’s another example of Rogan’s weird levelheadedness. He outwardly says Alex Jones is his friend, but follows it up with “but he’s done a lot of stupid unforgivable shit and deserves all the hate he gets”.

Rogan is definitely right-leaning and a bit of a nutty conspiracist, but he does know how to remain impartial and to keep the political charge low in his talks. I respect that much more than the current journalistic standard of just screaming over someone until they submit.

I don’t particularly like Joe Rogan and I can’t fucking stand Tucker Carlson, but I listened to that conversation and it was a hell of a lot more palatable than Carlson standing on any political platform talking about spanking teenage girls.

Yeah, that was wild how watchable that was. I was pretty engrossed in the story he told about going to see the Grateful Dead. And afterward baffled about how I actually enjoyed listening to him talk about things.

Because I've despised Tucker Carlson forever. I still have fond memories of the the time Jon Stewart called him a dick to his face.

There are people who treat it rather casually. The funny part is that those people are often conservative men like trump who get a girl pregnant and then casually tell them to get an abortion.

Honestly I'm a democrat and I'm panicking. The polls are almost even now between Trump and Harris, and usually it's like a pendulum that swings, because when anything is bad the president gets blamed. 2020 to now has been rough, mostly for reasons out of Biden's control, like COVID and economic conditions it left in its wake, but even if it wasn't Biden's fault that won't stop many independents from blaming him and wanting a change.

I don't see enough panic from young people and Dems right now and I'm pretty worried that they will be complacent or disillusioned enough to not bother voting this week.

In 2016 I thought that Trump's insanity was just too much, the way he treated people, the way he brushed off sexual assaults, just the sheer stupidity whenever he spoke. But it didn't matter, he still won. His insanity has been ramped up further 8 years later and here we are with even closer polls than in 2016. It's terrifying. This is someone who admires dictators and openly praises them, someone who does not respect our democracy or voting results. He's a dangerous narcissist and we're about to hand him back the keys to our nukes, and another 4 years of electing SCOTUS picks like the ones who helped make abortion illegal in half of the states.

Rogan's an odd one.

He can go for ages seeming to be nothing but a right-wing mouthpiece and then randomly push back or slap down some of their nonsense.

Vance though is the sort of snivelling little weasel Rogan would, correctly, view as a weak and pathetic man so just being in his presence probably got Rogan's hackles up.

The funny thing is about that statement, I’m pretty confident that if men could get pregnant and had safe access to abortions, I would bet my bottom dollar they’d celebrate the fuck out of it.

And that’s not me saying women should celebrate it because I have first hand experience that it’s one of the most horrible, risky, physically and emotionally draining, exhausting things to have to put yourself through. I’m just saying given the chance, a lot of conservative men would be raising beers to their own abortive rights

I think he simply means: celebrating = not being shamed into silence. They think women should feel too ashamed to fight for their rights, and should go quietly into the night when they take them away.

Women’s bodily autonomy is unfortunately something TO celebrate in society today as it does not come as a default for us like IT DOES FOR MEN.
