re: #83 Dangerman

I know the whole things asinine but they don’t follow this through

who would be responsible for the baby (the newborn, not the 9 year old)
Medical care, doctor visits
Food
Clothing
Everything…

Because if the 9 yo isn’t , then we have stepped into a kind of hell

Plus “aside from the getting pregnant part” youve ruined the “mother’s ” life too

The subtext of the article is the “pro-life” crowd in TX are trying to chip away at that one last wall standing between them and a total abortion ban: People getting upset that there’s no exception for “life of the mother.” Their strategy is to convince people that pregnancies that endanger the life of the mother are “rare,” so there’s no need for such an exception. That even in cases of children getting pregnant as the result of incestuous rape, the “baby” can be carried to term “safely” and so that’s all that matters.

What happens to the child, to their “baby,” to the rapist, or all those peripherally involved? The “pro-life” folks don’t give a flying fuck, they’ve managed to bash down the last barrier that allows women some fate other than walking incubator. Next on the agenda: Convincing the same folks they just conned into accepting a total ban on abortion into believing that contraception is “dangerous.”
