Trump just told the crowd at his Wisconsin rally that after women give birth, the baby is "wrapped in a blanket" and then "the mother and the doctor decide whether to execute the baby."

(115,280 posts)I suppose a few of them actually do, and those are the ones who might kill doctors and blow up clinics.

(13,390 posts)When late term abortions were labelled "partial birth" abortions and targeted by the anti-abortion activists. People ate it up then and still do, now.
What it really comes down to is putting forth an assumption that there are women who are so inherently evil that it is common practice for them to endure 9 mos of pregnancy and suddenly decide to have an abortion.
What they are cheering is misogyny and self-congratulatory belief in their own moral superiority.

(6,133 posts)You need to get the information out there as best you can whether or not, (not of course), the Senate will convict him.
We no longer live in a society where people can discern truth. We need to pump out more information and hope for the best. Besides, its the right thing to do. Trump is the quintessential reason for impeachment.

(12,858 posts)And proposed law in VA. Unviable newborn allowed to die. It's a rare, very traumatic situation.
Anti-abortion people think dr should do everything to keep new-born alive, even if that means a 'life' of a few hrs of incredible pain for the newborn that is too damaged to survive long.
They found the 2020 issue to call out the Religious Right to vote.

(12,858 posts)Showing pictures of newborns saying 'THIS is what they want to kill!!'
Or several adults are shown holding babies.
As far as I recall, the babies have been white. Maybe a few Latinx.
As FredClark at his blog slacktivist at patheos has analyzed over many posts, the GOP found their reliable base at the end of the 70s when they decided to create the democratic party as 'Satanic baby-killers'!

(4,484 posts)She just would not believe that doctors weren't killing healthy vibrant babies as they came out of the birth canal.
It was crazy. She literally thought someone would have a kid and, as they were giving birth, decide "Nah, let's kill this one."
Then she accused the governor of NC of vetoing a bill that would stop live baby murder. She said she was so disappointed in him because she voted for him in 2016. In fact, and I know this to be true, she has been a strong support of Roy Cooper. She has even donated to Roy Cooper. But now she has second thoughts because he wants to "kill live babies."
And this wasn't said in some sinister attempt to oppress women. She said she totally SUPPORTS abortion in the first two trimesters and also supports it in the third if performed for a reason. But, she claimed she could not support pro-choice Democrats because we don't support sensible abortions like she does. We want to "murder" healthy babies for no dang reason.
Fake news is real, is scary, and it works.
We are fighting against a side that lies to the point of calling us baby killers.

Rubbing salt in the wound every single damn time he gets in front of the cameras he claims to hate
and when one of these sick, deluded RWNJs finally act on the hate he is stirring he will stand there and give "stern condemnations" which mean as much as his "thoughts and prayers"
Watching these things are like watching a car accident, you know you will just be upset afterwards but watch anyway.

(5,214 posts)For every dim witted Trump acolyte who believes the Trump pronouncement that perfectly healthy babies are killed after birth, how many in the same demographic go . . . . oh, you are joking, right? That can't be right!
Then do some research to find out how accurate Dastardly Donnie is being. Then get the feeling they have been manipulated big time.
And never again believe anything he says.

(90,202 posts)...Roe vs Wade, and case law has been working its way up to the SCOTUS. It is now a tossup as to whether a majority on the Supreme Court will overturn Roe in the next few years.
Many states now have few if any women's clinics that will perform abortions. This creates particular hardship and dangers for rural women and abused women, who must arrange transportation, and time off work and away from home -- overnight, sometimes a couple of days -- to have a legal procedure that should be a private matter.
The legislatures of many states attempt to pass laws and nowadays do pass laws that effectively outlaw abortion at any stage and for any reason.
For decades a widely-dispersed domestic terror network has concentrated on forcing clinic closures by harassing clients as they attempt to enter; by vandalizing and destroying clinics; by stalking and threatening the children of clinic workers; by threatening and sometimes murdering clinic doctors and workers.
Planned Parenthood is a favorite target. PP's mission is to help women and men decide when and if they want to have babies, to educate, to provide contraceptive services to both women and men, to provide prenatal services and even fertility services.
Only about 3% of PP's services involve abortion, and almost all of that is at an extremely early stage.
You really need to educate yourself. I'm not picking on you -- unfortunately I have recently noticed
an uptick in new DUers who express opinions very like yours, and I realize that misinformation cuts both ways. Trump repeats vicious lies -- and women's healthcare is is grave peril because these lies have been abroad for over 20 years already. It's not enough to dismiss them -- we have to fight them.

(14,491 posts)My last child was born not breathing. The Dr. did not even ask if I wanted CPR performed, he called for the crash cart and just did it. There I was drugged up and strapped on the operating table. Numbed from the waist down, stomach sliced open, hip to hip trying to get up to save my baby. I was so bad, the resident gave me something that was supposed to knock me out. All it did was make me less enthusiastic trying to get up. It didn't work until I heard a cry. Then and only then did I relax.
Just writing this and remembering those 3-4 minutes (it seemed like it took forever) has me crying. That baby went to his Senior Prom last night.

And, they're obviously of a minority group, and that makes it even more disgusting. This guy's kids would be among the first that Trump would toss into his camps when he was done using them.

(25,750 posts)we need to start calling capital punishment what it is: premeditated murder. As in, when some anti-choice nutcase starts going off on this kind of thing, just ask them if they are opposed to premeditated murder of adults. To which they will probably say, yes, of course. And then point out that's exactly what capital punishment it.
