DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus. For years, Djukanovic proudly […]
Yeah. It is. It has been repeated, over and over, that the “pro-life” position blatantly disregards the well being of the mother. There is no chance that when she cast her vote she had not been exposed to that argument at some point.
She just didn’t care until it was her life instead of just any nameless “mother”.
Exactly this. These folks can’t see past their faces, so they never empathise with an issue until it knocks at their door.
Then suddenly they want an exemption because their issue is legitimate, unlike all the others before them who were so surely undeserving of help, unlike them
Its very rare to see any of these folks come out the other side realising that they weren’t just an exception to the rule, and that those “undeserving” were treated unfairly just like them.
It’s something that I try to emphasize to people that are pro-life these days. If you 100% believe that abortion is murder and that every life is secred, I wholeheartedly respect your opinion even if I disagree with you. But something pro-life people need to realize is that the majority of men on the pro-life side do not give a single fuck about whether or not abortion is murder and they just want to control what women do. What they are saying has absolutely nothing to do with what they actually believe and they’re just using your vote to push their own agenda. Saying “abortion is murder” is just the Trojan horse they use to force you to have their children even if you die.
