Former Vice President Mike Pence has taken a hard stance on abortion, saying that abortions should be banned even in cases of nonviable pregnancies. Pence is the only GOP presidential candidate to publicly support a national abortion ban at six weeks. Medical experts have criticized Pence’s pledge, noting that forcing women to carry nonviable pregnancies to term carries unnecessary health risks and can be psychologically traumatic for the women involved. Despite this, Pence has made restricting abortion rights a key part of his campaign platform. Pence currently has around 7% support among GOP candidates in presidential polls.

    I know that we have like rules and stuff on these sites, but this literally would have actually possibly killed a person I’m close to a few years ago when, while trying to conceive, they had a pregnancy fail and had to have the remains removed from their body.

    Are people allowed to start suggesting the Hitchcock GIF stuff yet? Or is that “going low?”

    I mean… do people really have to wait until these ghouls pass more legislation that will absolutely result in the otherwise preventable deaths of innocent women before anyone is allowed to hope for something more terrible than these ghouls being merely surprised to see people slightly inconveniencing them by saying something objectively true and then said ghoul just laughing like its a surprise birthday cake being rolled out to them?

      Agreed. They only say these things because there is no palpable consequence they understand to them. There should be at least something even if it’s just honest words.
