Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I can't even believe what I'm reading.

Maybe this asshole is an example of a forced birth, it's why he believes in it.

Buddy, I hope you are forcibly raped with the biggest dildo in existence and not lubed either.

Anyone that actually believes this shouldn't be allowed to continue breathing.

I'm done being nice about this.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I mean .. we could shove a 10 cm bowling ball up his ass against his will and see how he feels thereafter

[–] trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

You KNOW he's just going to respond "I've had bigger shits" and then cry about it in a closed room. If logic was ever going to work on these morons, it would've happened decades ago.

e. I feel like it's also important to note that there are dumb as fuck women who also believe this fucking nonsense and these laws would have far less efficacy if it didn't have their support (looking at all those ladies with (R) beside their name)

Especially if you die from it?

Death, the great "cure-all", gets rid of all diseases.

If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

"We would never take a mile, you have our promise"

And here they are taking a mile.

"The greatest healing agent," says the rape enabler.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I'll bet he thinks forced marriage to said rapist is a Great Healing Agent too. (He's never advocated this as far as I know, and I'm not trying to put words in his mouth. But c'mon, we gotta Bring Back the Nuclear Family, no?)

[–] Treefox@lemmy.ml 9 points 9 months ago

That's a good way to drive people to kill themselves.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

Misery in Missouri, the land of forced birth and unwanted children.

[–] traline@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I'm not one to ad-hom but I mean look at the guy..

[–] moon@lemmy.cafe 8 points 9 months ago

Would a rapist not take this as encouragement? Would this not make women feel incredibly unsafe? Why do men have no equivalent laws that restrict what they can do with their own body?

[–] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago

what do you expect. missouri republicans see women as brood mares, and brood mares aren't people.

I'm this close to expecting them to call women "fee males".

He should really be forced to watch vaginal birth from 10 cm away

Republicans should do a Jonestown to protect the children. Far more effective than whatever it is they are doing now.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

This is how you get increased suicides and abandoned infants.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The problem is (a) Republicans don't care if the issue isn't their own, and (b) Republicans seem to lack the capacity for identifying systemic failures. It's like an object-permanence thing with them. If they can't physically see the thing happening directly with their two eyes, then there is no relation. Like they're blind to negative externalities or indirect side-effects. at the macro level.

In other words... There's a reason these folks don't normally make great engineers or scientists.

He's making great arguments for one abortion that would've made the world a much better place.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Force him to have a baby. He'll change his tune as its ripping his urethra. I hope this awaits each of these bastards if hell were spiritual instead of physically on this Earth.

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

It can also be 'the greatest trauma'.

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

So's flushing these fucking GOP turds down the toilet.

Them not existing anymore would heal the fuck out of me.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is EXACTLY what Republicans mean when they say they're HARD on Rapists! After a Rapist Rapes your daughter it's illegal for her to get an Abortion and if she does her Rapist gets a bunch of money from her!
