    Why would two dead women affect their ideology when dozens upon dozens of dead children has not?

    Remember, they are pro-control not pro-life.

    They didn’t care when 1st graders were targeted in a mass shooting. They certainly don’t give a fuck about women dying.

      They didn’t care when their own Emperor of Mankind crushed a blood capsule in his ear

    Why would they? As far as they’re concerned, this is the intended outcome.

    A thousand women wouldn’t be enough. The GOP doesn’t give a shit.

    Just like with gun violence no amount of deaths will turn them from their insanity.

    I think we need to remember what’s important here. Dead women and school children is the price of freedom.

    But wearing a mask for ten minutes is tyranny!

    /s just in case

      Unless the mask is used to hide their identity while committing acts of domestic terrorism being patriots

      “I felt like I was going to pass out after wearing a mask for 30 seconds. Also, masks do nothing.”

    …yeah this is the GOP - women suffering/dying is a feature, not a bug.

    Never forget that the cruelty is the point.

    I’m ashamed that I noticed that both victims of GoP cruelty are a visible minority.

    But now I can’t un-see it.

      It’s not surprising since the GOP hates women and brown people.

    Nor would two million, to be perfectly frank, if the Nationalist Christians solidify their hold on power.

    Two women’s deaths have been publicly reported on and shown to be attributable to the abortion ban. The actual number of deaths attributable to the abortion ban is much higher.
