Unfortunately the state forced her to carry her hydrocephalic mutant baby to term in spite of the fact that by four months it was clear that it wasn't viable, not only forcing her to endure the trauma but also burdening the family with decades of medical bills.

I'm sure it's been commented on before, but the framing of void fetus politoons really highlights the fact that conservatives see women as a life support system for a uterus. No face, or head, or really any identifying characteristics, just a shadowy outline containing a womb.

gently caress. I don't know if anyone outside this thread thinks about cartoons for more than a second, including the authors, but that cut off of the mother's face is like...

Is she happy, because... no one will force her to abort her baby? Is she sad, because she intended to have an abortion despite being about 8 months pregnant? Is she horrified, because now she can't get an abortion to save her life after a last moment complication?

For gently caress’s sake, if they intend to have a baby, then they can call it a baby.

Just like you can look at someone preparing batter and say “That cake is coming along nicely” but it’s still not a cake yet and if I served you a bowl of batter with candles in it you’d probably be less than pleased.

Her face isn't visible because there's literally no possible face she could be making that would help his case here. If she's happy, she wasn't going to get an abortion in the first place. If she's sad or scared or devastated, it implies she won't or can't love and care for the child adequately and it may have a horrible life. Or, as Xander mentioned, her life may be at risk. And it's not really an option to make her mad, either, or done up in the typical conservitoonist "gotcha" (dumb crazy dyed hair liberal), because then you're implying she'll be a terrible parent. The standard is to make the person getting their comeuppance someone you hate but they would never draw a liberal having a child in this sense because they actually don't want that.

Given how they've turned "don't call trans men women" into "you can't say woman anymore" as a mainstream thing people believe, I bet this will also get traction and turn into "pro choice people are going to take your babies away."

Trans people want to trans your daughters for "????" reason. They see someone else making a decision they don't agree with as them having their freedom taken away. So, they want to force them to make decisions they want them to make. For freedom.

You'd be surprised* how open they can be about opposing sexual autonomy. I've only been on "hate mail opening " duty for work a few times, but it was amazing how much "don't have sex if you aren't willing to raise a kid" stuff was in there were along with everything calling us murderers and describing our futures in the Inferno. I laugh when I see those "is this about protecting women/the unborn or is it about punishing people for having sex" charts because they'll outright tell you it's the latter.

It's the same reason they can be opposed to abortion while also opposing contraception, despite the obvious contradiction. It's always been about controlling people.

Yes, absolutely, 100%. This is true for literally every other regressive position. They can't acknowledge that they want to take away people's rights to do things that don't hurt anyone else, because they know that's a bad look in modern society, so they frame it as their opposition wanting to force everyone to do that thing. They're going to force everyone to get an abortion. They're going to force everyone to be gay. They're going to force everyone to be trans.

quote:

US act on Xinjiang so silly as laughable By Zhang Zhouxiang 22/6

The US' so-called Uygur Forced Labor Prevention Act came into effect on June 21. How ridiculous! Xinjiang people live freely in the autonomous region, but outsiders claim they are used as "forced labor".


For the past several years, the West fabricated one lie after another about Xinjiang, but they are so absurd as not to be worth mentioning.


On the contrary, the US' "sanctions" against Xinjiang have damaged their own supply chains, which in turn makes it more difficult for it to solve its inflation problem.


Actually it is the West that has a record of forced labor. Centuries ago, they had big plantations that exploited indigenous people and Africans;


Now they have private prisons whose owners profiteer from the prisoners' labors.


For centuries, there has hardly been any change.


How shameless must some US politicians be to blame China for their own wrongs?


Before pointing an accusing finger at China, Western politicians better look at their own history first.

One thing right wingers love to concern troll about is "Democrats are the real racists trying to genocide minorities through abortion." They'll talk about Margaret Sanger created Planned Parenthood purposely for eugenics. They think that Dems force minority women to have abortions against their will and won't someone save those poor minority women from having the babies they definitely want to have killed?

They want to punish women for having sex. Even now, the “protect our babies” assholes on twitter are talking about abstinence and condoms.

It’s never been about protecting babies. If they thought abortion was murder, they’d be rioting in the streets. I mean, if there was mass murder happening every day at a building in your town, would you just go there and hold up a sign and maybe say mean things to the murderers?

Unveiling Republican hypocrisy has been a pointless "gotcha" for decades now, but this in particular has helped has caused the exact opposite of the... intended?... reaction.

A generation who kept getting called out "hey, if abortion is murder, why would there be an exception for incest and rape? Why are you just voting for Republicans rather than reacting the way you would to a genuine genocide?" didn't re-evaluate their ostensible stance on abortion, but rather raised a generation of true believers - abortion doctor murders who make no exception for rape, incest, or .

Maybe go with something else.

Noting the contradiction was potentially valuable for the proportion of the public who had never thought about it before. Many people don’t care and power certainly doesn’t, but for people who just accept it as common sense that those exceptions should be made, there’s a core of human compassion there that is worth trying to reach. Or that was in the now-gone end-of-history liberal order. Everyone’s been radicalized three times over by now.

"Don't point out Republican hypocrisy; it will only make their opinions worse," is surrendering the narrative. They're gonna find a way to self-radicalize no matter what you do, and there is no clever argument to be made that will sway them. It is their opponents who believe in words.

Anyone who is capable of listening to reason is pro-choice or living under a rock, in part because Republicans have long since stopped pretending they care about anything other than controlling minorities and lining their own pockets. Why should anyone else have to keep up the pretense? This is only happening because the system is broken and establishment democrats don't care enough to pick a fight over it.

Pointing out hypocrisy is one (mostly pointless) endeavor. "If you truly believed what you say you believe, you'd be doing a lot more harm in the following way" is an outright instruction for radicalization.

Yeah that "article" is what was up on the site. They do one every week or so. They just put together a bunch of older cartoons, which are usually published with a title only, to make a point. I've posted the ones where we haven't seen the majority of the comics, since the text is, as you pointed out, incredibly on the nose, and of very little interest.

I mean, looking at places with actual genocides, a protest and mean words are kinda more than the average (mostly because there's no real risk though). Leaving aside the actual terrorism, but that happened in Nazi Germany as well as USA.
