People who voted for the Leopard Eating People’s Paces party suddenly shocked when the leopard eats their face.
And sadly, most won’t learn that lesson.
"Actually I like having my face eaten."
Jaguar problem?
"Farmer" and "White". Name a more American duo
"Things that really should not be run for profit" and "running them for profit anyway because socialism bad"
Guns and Ammo.
Hotdogs and beer?
ETA: I’ll take the downvotes on this one. Shower your disapproval. Fuck this lady and her leopard eaten face.
I don't really feel happy for anybody in this case. Everybody loses. We can only hope that this person learned their lesson.
Absolutely agreed - her situation is a shit one, and I hope she learned her lesson. She chose her journey, though, in the face of all the contrary evidence.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
If she waited it out, she and the fetus could suffer tremendously. “The thing [a doctor] said was, ‘There are things worse than death, and I have seen it,’” Farmer recounted.
Damn. Feels like it could be a good quote to oppose anti-abortion.
The Only Moral Abortion is My Own.
I love that they referred her to an anti-abortion crisis center, because there's a 99% chance they'll just tell her the same "pro-life" garbage she's been spewing and send her ass home.
Remember, God makes no mistakes 🤗
I really do hate myself for a lack of sympathy in this situation, but these people need to experience what they’re doing to everyone else.
What’s sad is that people who agree with her won’t see the threat to her life as a valid reason either. They don’t know her so they don’t care for her. They’ll lump her in with the people they torment outside of Planned Parenthood regularly.
Just another woman who spread her legs and is too cowardly to accept the will of god.
I’ll be honest, I’m burned out. I need a break from morons and their stories. I really do.

You need to stop going out of your way to doomscroll on social media, then. It's ultimately entirely in your power to not be exposed to them.
I'm being serious. It's not good for you--social media makes it extremely easy to be exposed to negativity 24/7 if you're looking for it, since you're 1 person in a world of over 8 billion. You don't have to get even close to 1% of the people being assholes, for this to be not only possible, but trivially easy.
The human psyche is literally not designed to withstand the kind of barrage technology has made possible. Please do not feel guilty about giving yourself a break at times, to say the very least.
Thanks for this (I'm not the op). While I tend to agree that doomscrolling doesn't help my mental health, I'm not sure how to square burying my head in the sand vs not paying attention to the crazy shit going on.
I don't expect an answer or anything, just venting. I feel powerless and my taxes are apparently going to fund a concentration camp.
I've given up on being sympathetic for people who actively try to put these things in place. Like, I'm just jaded now. You voted for this. Congratulations, if this is fatal for your stupid decisions, that's on you. I'm sympathetic to the people with brains who knew this would happen, those people get my sympathy and caring.
I felt similar about people asking for the vaccine right before they went on the ventilator. Something like 3m people in the US died from Covid.
It's been estimated that there were at least 232k preventable deaths because people didn't get vaccinated. That doesn't include people who suffered permanent damage or long-COVID.
Don’t feel bad. Everyone has limits. At some point you have to worry about yourself and those around you.

Classic FAFO
Privileged people do get an exception - they can afford to fly to another state for an abortion.
People like this think they're part of the in group because they're white or christian, but the only war is class war. To our rulers we're all the enemy.
My fucking Trumpy brother in law has this attitude. He lives in the south, votes for Trump, and has a wife, two daughters, and a son. His wife has had a couple of complicated pregnancies that, had they happened now in the place they currently live, could well have resulted in her death. His attitude when asked 'what if one of your daughters gets raped?' is to say he can just fly her somewhere else to get an abortion, because he has money. Fuck you, dude.
