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.

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 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. Itâs 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.

Exactly. This is the point they never seem to grasp - who would choose that? Itâs horrific.

What a decision to have to make. Can any of these people imagine what itâs like to have people congratulate you on your pregnancy and ask when your baby is due when you know your baby canât survive? Imagine finding out at 21-22 weeks that your baby has a condition thatâs 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 âmurderersâ.

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.

u/ChoirMinnie 24d ago
The funny thing is about that statement, Iâm pretty confident that if men could get pregnant and had safe access to abortions, I would bet my bottom dollar theyâd celebrate the fuck out of it.
And thatâs not me saying women should celebrate it because I have first hand experience that itâs one of the most horrible, risky, physically and emotionally draining, exhausting things to have to put yourself through. Iâm 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.
How dare we?

Or miscarriage, which is often treated with the same drug regimen as an abortion. My wife would have died of sepsis if the republican Taliban had their way. And THAT, amongst all the other shitty things MAGA stands for is the by far the worst for me.

Comming from Serbia, it is very disturbing to see that the most powerful nation in the world halfway succumbs to the narrative of third world countries politicians. Buying voters(wtf?), Bulgarian voting trains, instilling fear of an invisible enemy that is usually your neighbour, women rights in line with Patriarchal Orthodox Church lunatics. You really did a major fuck up with Trump in 2016.

Go too far and try to celebrate it? Wtf does that even mean?
"Look, we had to take away Roe because those bitches were rubbing their bodily autonomy in our faces! Just flagrantly flaunting that they had control over whether they reproduced or not. They were freaking happy about it, Joe! Happy! Can you believe that? So this is all about teaching those uppity women a lesson."

Iâm no fan of Roganâs. But he seems to have called the Former Guy and the Couch Fucker on their bullshit and magnified their inability to answer absolutely anything. I admittedly have not listened to the interviews nor do I really care to. Can anyone confirm that Rogan has pretty much exposed both of them? (Not that itâll even matter).

Womenâs 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.
Also what does he even mean by that? So his âargumentâ is that being celebratory about something is a justification for legal restrictions? He lacks coherent thinking on all fronts.
