The right wing is so sure they know what’s best for everyone else. And they are so very absurd in the things they say, I’m surprised they haven’t also changed the word abortion to something more user friendly to them — you know, like perhaps ‘fetal eviction’.

The Party of Family Values - they guarantee that a child will leave the womb safely, to enter a domestic life that resembles something out of a modern version of Les Miserables.

Ain't that the truth. Gotta make sure 💯 %are born so that they can be beaten, starved or killed later on when they know what they are going through. 🤔

Gotta betray their trust. Give them a dad who sleeps around, or a mother that's addicted to meth, crack or some such, or let them into the loving arms of an abusive couple who instills them with the SELF - WORTH of a bag of fertilizer. " Because YHWH / Jehovah bids it so ". Another argument to license couples to raise kids. I'm not normally such a CYNIC.

My own parents may not have ALWAYS been the best of the human species, but they kept a decent lifestyle - I always had a full stomach, had dr's visits when I needed them, clean clothes, etc.

I hope that " the Religious Right " is put in the same categories as the Nazi Party, the KKK, Qanon, certain repressive cults, the Kim family of N. Korea, the Marcos family in the Philippines, the Taliban.....

I can remember someone saying -- when asked why they voted for Trump on election night 2016 -- it was all about the Supreme Court. I hope that SOB is happy now.

Important heartbreaking toon. In the '50s,I saw my older school friend almost bleed to death from botched self-abortion, stabbing & stabbing in herself with a knitting needle. Blood. Can't go back. So much blood. In the deep night, I buried the blood-soaked towels in the ravine.

They . will . only . end . safe . abortions .
