Things didn’t end well for the last guy…

And they ripped out funding for pediatric cancer research. $250 million… or around 0.05% of president Musk’s net worth. Why do repubs hate kids with cancer?

Because they’re not profitable.

Also 900 million will not be going to North Carolina hurricane relief.

Cold heartless bastards

Assuming I did my math correctly these two things would have been a combined total of .002% of the federal budget.

Can’t buy a B2 with hurricane relief.

You mean the state that put this asshole in power?

Leopards getting fat here.

why can’t north carolina use hurricane insurance instead of relying on the feds?

Yeah, those people living in the (checks notes) mountains in (checks notes again) inland North Carolina knew the risks of not getting Hurricane insurance!

Technically it was a tropical storm. Case denied.

Why can’t the government take care of it’s people instead of making them rely on private insurance? It’s the government. They should be doing things like taking care of their citizens during times of crisis.

this isn’t something unpredictable there are consistent tropical storms in North Carolina as with most of the south east United states.

Ummmmm this would be largely flood insurance and that’s a federal program.

They want to strip away everything that reduces infant mortality, so that people start having more kids again since so many of them will die young.

Then later they give it back, and since they already took away the right to abortion… Boom, population explosion and a bunch of poor kids are born to later be exploited in factories and wars.

If you don’t want to have an abortion, no one’s ever been forcing you.

Why you think it’s appropriate to force others is weird.

Nah, you don’t really believe that.

You already know that in an abortion, no one is typically killing the fetus (which btw is less of a human than a chicken egg is human), they’re just removing it from the body it’s parasiting off of. Not the mother’s fault it can’t survive, and I’m pretty sure you’re for curing cancer or tape worm which also contain more human dna than a fetus does.

Besides, in many cases the fetus is already dead or terminal anyway.

And even if this was codified under law as murder, it wouldn’t be the mother doing it, but a licensed professional, much like police, soldiers or wardens.

Thats’s a lot of mental gymnastics to insert yourself into someone’s health care and sex life. That’s kind of weird…

Republicans have spread this myth that women use abortion like birth control. Just like the myth of the black welfare Queen, spitting out kids just to draw a check. It’s all bullshit and they know it, they just hate poor people.

tape worm which also contain more human dna than a fetus does.

Not that im disagreeing with your overall argument, but a fetus has 100% human dna… otherwise it wouldnt develop into a human lol

I’m pro-choice, but saying a fetus doesn’t have human DNA is fucking retarded.

Imagine thinking a clump of cells is a “child” anymore than the mole on my ass.

It’s a fetus, not a child.

Okay, I don’t agree with the emotional concept that a fetus is a person innately, but I can at least understand where that type of thinking comes from. Claiming it’s a fully-developed human is just demonstrably wrong. You’re entitled to your opinion, but feelings aren’t facts. I sincerely hope this is a sad attempt at trolling.

By definition a fetus is not a fully developed human…

A fetus is objectively not fully formed. What do you think its doing in the womb for all those months, just hanging out? When abortions happen its just a bundle of cells that cant think, breathe, or live on its own.

A tiny cluster of cells is not a “fully developed human”

Then how come they can’t survive without leeching off a host? 80% of pregnancies spontaneously end in miscarriage. That doesn’t sound viable or fully developed to me. If it could survive outside the womb, you’d have a point. But it can’t, so you don’t.

You know who was actually fully-developed? All the women who have died due to pregnancy complications thanks to draconic laws that take away their rights over their own bodies. I’ll hold you responsible for murdering them.

You clearly don’t know biology do you & are you capable of sustaining yourself I you were left in a jungle ? BTW, it’s around 13.5 percent but regardless it’s not 80% (that’s a lie)

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. (2020)
National Center for Health Statistics. (1999). Trends in Pregnancies and Pregnancy Rates.

I hold you responsible for the billions of deaths of unborn children, because of your stupidity & selfishness & inhumanity

No. A fully developed human would be post-pubescent. Until then you are either a fetus incapable of living outside your mother’s body, or a baby capable of independent life with some sort of care.

Fetuses are NOT babies. Stop being obtuse.

I assume you’ve adopted multiple unwanted children in the foster system including severely disabled ones, right?

Since you think that “unborn children” shouldn’t be “killed,” you’ve got to be a major part of the solution.

Tell me about your severely disabled kids you adopted from the foster system.

Oh fuck right off with that bullshit. Abortions are a medical procedure. Women have died because they can’t get them. Or should we just let fetuses that die in utero rot inside the womb and kill the poor woman who lost her baby through no fault of her own?

That’s just one example off the top of my head.

Nobody wants to or is killing children. That’s some hyperbolic bullshit.

I just went through about 3 pages of their comment history.

Therein lies a tale.

There are no orphanages in the U.S.

Also, please name the 100% effective contraceptive.

Besides abstinence and surgical sterilization.

Get the fuck out of here

Is it too late to abort you? Because you blatantly fail at having a basic grasp on reality.

Whoa whoa whoa you can’t go around funding kids healthcare. Then they are gonna become adult voters who expect more free healthcare.

You want kids who get to adulthood on the skin of their teeth, or kids who don’t get to adulthood at all. There’s no in-between.

You know what everyone hates more? A grown adult behaving like a kid.

I don’t want nor will ever have kids, so please take it to heart when I say: You are behaving like an immature toddler.

For the double murder point, the fetus is classified as a potential human.

Why can’t I get life insurance on a fetus?
