I'm really amazed at how many people think post term abortions actually occur. And not just from Trumpers. I was speaking with a lady the other day, college educated, who said it happens. I was like "so murder? You think doctors are murdering babies right after they're born?" Thankfully some nurse friends also involved in the conversation set her straight that that doesn't happen and late term abortions are because the baby is deemed nonviable and/or there's a serious health risk to the mother but babies are not just killed after they're born.
Sure they are killed, they are tossed into the dumpster behind the 7/11 since the mother cant afford the baby.
I am making humor of a dark situation but my morals allow for it so fuck it.
This comment was the equivalent of convenience store fried foods. Didn't do much for anyone, wasn't in particularly good taste, was a little stale...
But just like convenience store food...
I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy it just a little bit.
Thanks, I put approximately fuck all effort into it. Like throwing a hunk of ground beef at a wall wouldve taken more effort.
So my analogy still holds true.
Yep, though id liken it more to watching a random dude walk into a lamp post and keep going
