"Post-birth abortion" 💀💀
Bro that's called murder 😅 why do they try so much to associate abortion with murder? It never worked and never will. Nobody is as dumb as they are. It's like they are trying to convince you to become stupid and forget reason because Jesus.
What in the actual fuck is wrong with conservatives nowadays? This is why this ideology is dying. And the more it dies, the more radicalized they become
If you listened to the whole video they talk about not providing life savings care to the child, which is not murder. There are a ton of babies who don't do well after birth and are not expected to survive long. This happens for a lot of different reasons. Withdraw of care, or moving to comfort care, is a well defined and common occurrence across the medical field. People die all the time and you can artificially preserve things like the heartbeat and breathing with machines, but you have to decide if that's what is best for the patient. It's not murder, it's not "post term abortion" either.
I just find the term incredibly stupid and hilarious 😅 Republicans always says the dumbest shit.
Think about it for a second;
"Post birth" means you are born. Right? Once you are born, you cant be aborted anymore... it changes the whole meaning. If you are born, breathe on your own and someone kills you, its murder. Not "post-birth abortion" lmao. Abortion is the end of a pregnancy. No pregnancy, no abortion.
Republicans can spin and twist this off as "abortion" as much as they want, they aren't doing a good job convincing the average Joe that abortion is wrong. Which is their goal... and everybody knows abortion is a relatively mild medicine procedure that does not involve killing anybody so why still using these stupid ass term?
It's a tactful way to get ignorant people to vote against their own interest. I don't think DeSantis is dumb, I think he's power hungry.
Because it did work. It worked well enough that January 6th happened, and the 2016 election. It worked well enough that Florida consistently looks like Florida and votes like Florida, generation after generation.
It's an oxymoron. You can't abort a pregnancy that ended in birth. I'm sure he's trying to imply murder, but it's just stupidity spilling out of his mouth.
Conservatives have always been the most hated people, and for good reason. Their philosophies have long been used to justify crusades, genocide, racism, nationalism, and outrages of all kinds. Most of all, their attitude has always been "anyone who disagrees with me is a terrorist/rabid dog and needs to be put down for the good of humanity."
My only question is if he's stupid enough to actually believe it.
I doubt that he is. His supporters, on the other hand...
What do you mean? It is just cool aid.
It’s just as dumb as believing in “partial birth” abortions which…I mean…come on. If only these people had the capacity to think about it for two seconds.
What in the world is a "partial birth" abortion?
The idea is it’s a late-term abortion where the baby is partially born and then killed. These abortions have been officially illegal since 2003. In general, only a tiny percentage of abortions are performed later than 24 weeks, and it’s almost always because of something terrible. Here’s a good article about it: https://www.npr.org/2006/02/21/5168163/partial-birth-abortion-separating-fact-from-spin
Something republicans made up
The republicans have been brainwashing their base to believe Democrats and Liberals are Satan's minions, just pure evil. They'll believe anything that fits that narrative. Remember the guy that shot up a pizza place because the right wing fronted a conspiracy theory that Hillary was running a pedophile ring in the basement.
Pedophile ring in the basement of the pizza place, which literally had no basement.
How stupid of a journalist/interviewer you have to be not to call out that bullshit and not relent until this fucker corrects his words on camera.
That's the "New" CNN for ya trying to reach FOX News viewers.
Absolutely not. These people know exactly what they're doing. Except Donnie Cheeto of course, who genuinely has no idea of what is true and what is false. That's why he comes across as so "authentic" to the morons.
Too bad no one aborted DeSantis.
He's post-birth, so I supposed there's still time.
What kind of stupidity does it take to hear "post-birth abortion," and not immediately question it? We're doomed, because half of the voting population in this country can be convinced of literally anything if it's said by the right person, and it hurts the right people.
It takes generations of crippling education that removed critical thinking from a generation. Instead of thinking "post birth" abortion = actual murder and instead go "abortion" = murder "post birth abortion" double murder! It's like when you ask a Christian about sharia and they decry it yet when asked if Christianity should be involved in politics or shape politics and they go "of course!" Being wholely ignorant of the fact abrahamic law (Mosiac law) and sharia are most similar than dissimilar.
By their own logic, "post-birth abortion" should be seen as no worse than regular abortion because they claim regular abortion is murder. Not that I expect them to ever be logically consistent.
My grandfather said abortion should be legal through 1st grade. And he wasn’t a liberal.
“I brought you in to this world and I can take you out. And make another one just like you.”
Dude, my dad said almost exactly the same thing to me all the time growing up. He tried to make good on that statement on the regular. He also voted for fucking Trump.
Someone should remind Floridians they live in a post birth abortion state since they allow the death penalty.
Don't post birth abortions happen in a lot of states, particularly at schools, but also grocery stores, homes, movie theaters, concerts?
Wait, you forgot malls, the streets, restaurants, libraries, and other locations people might exist at.
There is no such thing as a liberal or conservative state. Dumbass doesn’t even know that fact.
Vote for a Florida politician and you get a bag of shit with some cocaine on it.
Go ahead and test the waters for a third time and watch your kids future vanish. What’s left of it anyway.
Does anyone want to let him know that he has about 1,500 "post-birth abortions" per year happening in his state?
"Post-birth abortion"
This shit is like an SNL parody of America
Capital Punishment is just a fancy word for extremely late-term post-birth abortions.
So red states do it all the time, Ronnie.
Lol he also said he's against the military providing abortions.
They’re actually paying people to go and get abortions with American tax dollars as part of the military.
This dude's going to make sure the military doesn't kill anyone, I guess.
They sure do. It's call murder. And it's happening with guns. DeSanctimonious is anti-gun! Get 'em!!
Can we post-birth abort DeSantis?
baseless claim
I wish they’d just out and out say “lies”.
He should have been post birth aborted. I guess it could still happen, huh?
Meanwhile, it’s Republikkkan states and legislatures that perform post birth abortions through inaction on school mass shootings.
It’s all about imagery for Republicans, not honesty or reality. Waiting for the introduction of phrases like “mutilation abortion”, “satanic abortion”, and “puppy killing abortion” when talking about liberal states.
Can I get one? I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
This is just a clever man, framing an issue with a scary term used to terrify an ignorant voter base. Why is everyone so surprised as if this was some new thing?
DeSantis knows exactly what he’s doing here. He and his cronies are experts at manipulating the Cletuses.
That MF KNOWS EXACTLY what he is doing and is trying to get free media time while pushing out dangerous claims. He also knows hes loosing and when he looses he is completely done for.
Maybe "post-birth abortion" is the term we should be using to make the GOP finally address school shootings.
He wants to ban Post-Birth abortions. I assume that mean he wants to defund the police.
Would someone mind post-birth aborting puddin fingers?
