https://lawandcrime.com/opinion/alabama-just-said-abortion-is-worse-than-the-holocaust-and-other-crimes-against-humanity-combined/ On Tuesday night, Alabama’s State Senate passed an abortion ban 25 to 6. House Bill 314, which is obviously unconstitutional under current legal standards, provides for no exceptions even in the case of rape or incest, and is the latest in a string of misguided laws positioned to challenge the standards set out in Roe v. Wade. HB 314 criminalizes abortion as a Class A felony; doctors who perform them can be jailed for up to 99 years, and the only exception for women is if their own health is in mortal danger. The bill notes that a woman who “receives an abortion will not be held criminally culpable or civilly liable for receiving the abortion.” Its very language is nothing short of bizarre. HB 314 specifically mentions the Jewish people killed during the holocaust, Russians killed in Soviet gulags, Chinese murdered during the “Great Leap Forward,” victims of the Khmer Rouge, and Rwandan genocide. Then, it says that Roe v. Wade is worse than all of those things combined. Criminal laws are usually dispassionate and antiseptic; they list the elements of crimes, but do not make sweeping grandstands to justify their content. And they definitely don’t cite longstanding Supreme Court precedent and say it’s worse than the holocaust.

Because the humane thing is to imprison women who get raped longer than the rapist.
And set them up in chain gangs for tourists. Alabama brought back chain gangs in the 90s with plans for female chain gangs
B-but, I thought abortion was a cultural-marxist ploy by the Jews to reduce the white birth rate??? We're saving the white race by doing this!!! (Conservatives, neo-fascists especially, are idiots)
Behold, the fundamentalist evangelical model of a godly family and society: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/205174/cdf496f9-bad5-41a6-88e1-df965515df19/image.png (Anyone who remembers why their fucking show was canceled should understand why this is so horrifying, even beyond the already appalling nature of the quiverfull movement.
Do these people not realize how unsustainable this is?
Some Christians actively work to start the apocalypse so it's a feature, not a bug.
Sorry but who are they?
We routinely talk about living in a world similar to 1984 or Brave New World but this right here is a steady road to The Handmaid's Tale, and I could see it getting worse. 'Offred'-esque names don't seem so absurd and unlikely anymore.
My older sister was talking to me about how my parents were part of this movement. The thought of them having children so that they can use us as warriors of Christianity or some shit disturbs the hell out of me.
If people are raising more kids than they can take care of or than society can keep well-educated, it's easier for the people at the top to continue fleecing the next generation.
It's the family from the show 19 Kids and Counting. Basically they're a bunch of natalists who've had a shit ton of kids because of their religious beliefs. They're also very anti-LGBT and one of the sons, Josh, allegedly molested five girls, four of which were his sisters. Class act really.
This is what they have to do to keep winning elections
Backslide into an era with no womens rights because my pqstor said my book said that god said something and meant something else.
and yet a quasi theocratic romanian communist decree is still more liberal than alabama's bill

Actually the plan of Christian Dominionists, like Pence Outbreed everyone else and sway the polls nationwide to create a theocracy and force the apocalypse to happen so they can all live in god's kingdom (aka the irradiated ruins of Birmingham)
Good gods, the United States is such a shithole by the standards of the civilized world.
Please shoot me before I do myself.
It can't be. Those girls on the right and left corners are darker skinned, they might be Mexicans attempting to race integrate and pollute the genepool of God's children.
The right should be fought in the streets
Thanks for the explanation. Also: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237763/dee21814-a9cb-4030-a550-fa0639d2a040/98F99AC3-61D1-4C85-954F-6AD250AE0AA9.png
There’s basically no difference in support for abortion if you break it down by gender. This is mostly a religious issue. https://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/ https://news.gallup.com/poll/235646/men-women-generally-hold-similar-abortion-attitudes.aspx Instead of “white men” it should probably say “white Christian people”, but it’s whatever.
I do hope you aren't serious. Whatever you think will happen, your loved ones will be much worse off without you.
the united states is a failed democracy and the only path to fixing it is civil war, which is extremely unlikely. anyone who claims to have hope in systemic improvement is an aggressively delusional idiot who frankly is part of the problem in the first place. i think its more than fair to want out
Then fucking emigrate. Move to a more civilized state or country. What, are you saying I'm wrong to discourage someone from committing fucking suicide? What is wrong with you?
i mean hey, i used to be anti-suicide too, im just saying its completely logical to be like this now
1-800-273-8255
rather, that is to say, its not logical or fair or good to commit suicide but being suicidal in these conditions is something i have an enormous amount of sympathy for, i dont even know why im still doing it either really
