‘Outraged, sickened, terrified’: Guardian readers on the Texas abortion ban (LOL alert)
The Guardian ^ | 09/04/2021 | Rachel Obordo

Posted on 09/04/2021 7:50:59 AM PDT by Scarlett156

The US supreme court voted 5-4 to allow a Texas law banning most abortions to remain in force. The law prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity, usually around six weeks and before most women know they’re pregnant.

Nine people share their reaction to the ruling and what they think it means for women’s rights.

Again I have to wonder - isn't all that gross "education" for grade-schoolers about abortion and fisting and using nonoxynol 9 to prevent AIDS and jerking off and so forth SUPPOSED TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM NEEDING ABORTIONS?

So what happened? Why are these gals so angry? They have sponges. They have pills. They have implants. They have shots. They have condoms. A lot of this stuff is inexpensive or free through your local health department. They have STD prevention and STD testing and wow, it's a WAY different world than when all this started.

I'm old enough to remember when it started. I remember my mom having to go through a bunch of red tape to get oral contraceptives as treatment for her migraine headaches because birth control pills used to be against the law, too. LOL (Actually, I think Mom also didn't want to have any more kids. Who can blame her? She had me!)

And a lot of these gals will use the "faux catholic" argument just like Catholic Nan P: "WE don't really need abortions, but all these ethnic minority women do, because they're not smart enough to use birth control!"

Keep it up, girlfriends: You'll end up losing us the vote, too.

i remember when getting birth control was nearly impossible. not so any more. the trick is to use it which seems beyond many in our dumbed down country. i’m so bored with this controversy after 40 years.

“Karen” is still looking for the abortion clause in the BOR or Constitution. She should look closer. It’s right after the clause that requires folks to have a permit to carry a firearm. “Come on maannnnn! These things aren’t absolute!” Wonder if that applies to the 13th and 19th amendments. Joe? Joe? Bueller?

“Outraged, sickened, terrified.”

By what? Using birth control? Driving?

No trouble getting vaccinated but can’t use birth control measures?

Idiots.

Yeah, I said it and you laughed at it so STFU.

Terrified? Really?

There are so many methods of birth control out there now there’s absolutely no excuse for an “oopsie” pregnancy. Best one, of course, is to hold an aspirin firmly between your knees.

If it’s that big of a problem, take a long weekend and drive to New Mexico. They’ll be happy to help you kill your baby.

Outraged? Sickened? Terrified? Sounds to me like a normal, compassionate person’s reaction to visualizing a human fetus being brutally ripped to shreds in the womb.

They deserve to be ridiculed. Three of the responses stated they were too young and immature to be a parents. One said her boyfriend was stupid

So the obvious question — if your boyfriend is stupid and to are too immature to have a kid why are you having sex? There are plentiful of other ways to have a five second muscle spasm than to risk pregnancy.

The stupidity is breathtaking in these people.

People have become positively unhinged over this (and it’s kind of entertaining to watch.)

They’re “outraged,” “sickened” and (insert your favorite little drama queen phrase here) because it has become more difficult to kill the unborn.

What’s the real reason you’re so off the rails about this, Democrats? C’mon, tell the truth. Don’t be cowards.

This decision is the beginning of putting abortion back where it is supposed to be. At the State level. There is nothing in the US Constitution about abortion or a right to privacy. If Texas bans abortion great. If NJ says it is legal. That is what the people want.

If these round heeled whores would stop spreading their legs for every ape that swings out of the trees there might not be a problem.

Evidently “Terrified” Texas Rangers will fly to the UK, kidnap them back to Texas, then force them to bear their child until birth.

What it means is that women in the womb will not be murdered as often

"Outraged, sickened, terrified.”

How do you know you're talking to a liberal?? The ratio of adjectives to anything else in their comments is at least 3:1.

Conservatives usually have one or 2, usually with an f as in "f'n idiot" or f you , you dumb a**

They have the right to move to a leftist state and kill a fetus every 6 months if they so choose. No one's having their rights taken away by this. Love it or leave it applies to states too.
