    Remember that guy from Trump’s first administration that looked like he’d been copied and pasted from a late 90s video game?

    Not him

    This one:

    He brought his pregnant girlfriend a smoothie with a Plan B abortion pill? crushed up inside of it to force her to abort without her knowledge.

    Then he tried to sue for libel when the story was published, but a judge ordered that he had no basis and made him pay the other party’s legal fees instead.

    Trumpworld’s Jason Miller Must Pay Gizmodo Thousands for Accurately Reporting Insane Story About Him

    So prolife he had to pretend to be doing something thoughtful for her and the baby when he straight up poisoned his girlfriend without her consent.

      PSA for anyone who needs to hear it: taking Plan B as directed does not cause miscarriages. If a fertilized embryo has already implanted into the uterine lining and started to grow, Plan B has missed its window of effectiveness. That’s why the directions indicate you need to take it as soon as possible and no more than 72 hours after intercourse. Cheers.

    I hate the term “Pro-Life”, as it is not accurate. They are “Anti-Choice”, plain and simple.

      If they were truly pro-life they would be pro school lunches, pro maternity leave, and other supports for the actual life of the child, but most of them aren’t because thats too socialist. Pro life up until it pops out then they don’t give a shit about the actual quality of life the baby receives.

      They’re Anti-Life, in fact.

      They’d rather see mother and unborn child die than just the mother if the child isn’t viable.

      They all love themselves some ‘judicial’ murders. Because ‘an eye for an eye’ is all they understand.

    This is pretty common. There should be a website with a list of anti-choice politicians who are pro choice in private.

      You may as well just list all of them. Every conservative is basically a “rules for thee, not for me” jagoff. The second it’s about comeuppance for their own behavior they think they deserve a break and forgiveness instead of punishment. They all think they’re special snowflakes whose circumstances are different than everyone else’s. Which is part of why it’s hilariously on point that they project that part of themselves onto the left.

      I mean just look at how this jagoff treated his killing of an innocent.

            You wish.

            (And I do too.) It’s comforting to think of actual opposition to fascism, but then you watch these Dems hand away what little power they do have, and they’re about to do it again when they decide to hand Donald his government instead of shutting it down.

          Why are you lying?

          That is specifically a defining trait of conservatism in particular.

            You can’t gaslight me. My eyes actually work, and I’m watching Democrats ally with Donald Trump in real time to try and stop Zohran Mamdani from getting elected. This is after watching Dems supposedly anti-genocide president give Israel everything it wanted for four years.

            Dems are just as hypocritical, and as long as Democratic partisans’ opinions are based on nothing but party decree, that’s what Democrats will be.

              I didn’t say “Republicans;” I said “conservatives.” Quit accusing me of shit when you’re agreeing with me!

              Fascist collaborators don’t count as a separate type of “partisan.”

        Even that’s better than their position. It’s The Man (as in government) that gets to choose, unless they’re wealthy. Poor men or women can’t choose.

    Ask any doctor that has provided abortions and they will tell you that the loudmouths against always have representatives that show up wanting their “necessary” abortion. Whether it for their mistress, daughter, wife who can’t take another child or whatever. It’s the same as they are for most things, ok for me but not for thee.

    Abortion is MURDER and ANYONE who Kills a Baby is going to HELL! Sometimes! Sometimes it’s NOT Murder! Like on Tuesdays or after eating PIZZA!
