If a 1yr old got pregnant... Somehow... Wouldn't you need to perform an abortion immediately simply so they didn't die?

Oh wait they don't even care.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

If somehow a one year old got pregnant I would totally expect her to be able to get an abortion. This just seems like common sense, no?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

Tell me you don't understand the basic anatomy and physiology you are regulating without telling me...

Sexual access to your own daughter is really the corner stone of the Abrahamic religions. Just look at how far the Amish are willing to go to maintain that tradition.

The left has lost their minds! One year olds should carry their pregnancies to term, think about the children!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

Please. Please, stop having sex with one year olds!

"The kid I raped could get an abortion under this!" he said with wildly misdirected outrage.

Dude, you wouldn't fucking believe it. I was at the clinic, killing my baby, and there was this fucking toddler doing the same thing. I mean, I'm a fucking grown man and I paid for my partner to scramble the brains of our unborn child, as is our right. But this little kid was there, doing the same thing. Couldn't have been more than 4yo.

STOP TINY CHILDREN FROM KILLING TINIER CHILDREN.

I mean, at some point, you just gotta have a limit.

If Dave Chapelle from the early 2000s wrote that post it would have ended with "Go home baby!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I mean, its a toddler.

Damn freeloading rugrat.

You know tax payers are paying for that abortion.

That toddler's OnlyFans isn't even making enough for its own formula and diapers.

/S

It's 2024. Add the /s for sarcasm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

should this have a /s or does the first one count. really though. as a sarcastic sob I just can't top what is normal for some folks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Republicans are mentally defective degenerates who should have no say over anything of consequence.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

They don't have to make sense, their only aim is the inflame their base of morons.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Abortion should be compulsory for anyone pregnant under 13. That's the age we set for protecting children from the dangers of social media, and pregnancy is a heck of a lot more dangerous than that

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago

Infant pregnancy is one of our country's greatest issues and this guy doesn't even want to do anything about it!

[–] [email protected] 57 points 7 months ago

Hmmm... Show me a pregnant 1 year old and I will show you a little girl in desperate need of an abortion and a new home with people who actually will love her as one should a 1 year old.

Seriously, how fucking stupid do you need to be to actually utter something like this. I don't care if it is supposed rhetorical hyperbole, it just oozes with /r/NotHowGirlsWork energy.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Trump sure likes'em stupid, huh?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

From what I've gathered, he actually doesn't seem to, but stupid sure likes Trump, so he works with what he's got.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

He loves the poorly educated.

Also, I'd guess that stupid people are more likely to actually uncritically worship him, while smart people are more likely to put up a facade of doing so to get something from him, a mask which eventually slips or conflicts with them getting what they really want, at which point they get thrown under the bus.

How are these people able to function in society with literally zero brain matter?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

I wonder if this is part of their confusion campaign? We read it as a 1 year old could get a abortion but they will spin it as 1 year Old abortions and scream " how could you abort a 1 year old?"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god... If you haven't watched the video at the bottom, you should. It is so much worse than just the little quote about 1 year olds. This man is either mentally ill or knowingly evil and I'm not sure which.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 57 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

Yeah, my phrasing was going to be a little different, but say the same thing: if a 1 year old needed an abortion, they absolutely should be able to get one.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

This representative should've been aborted

[–] [email protected] 42 points 7 months ago

If a 1yo was raped and somehow impregnated, they would literally and absolutely die if they did not receive an abortion. In absolutely no way does this disgusting moron make any sense.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 7 months ago (1 children)

...dude's face looks like someone prompted an AI with "generate a mugshot of someone charged with fucking a 1-year-old".

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

They are so stupid, it hurts.
