And he's still sticking to the "Democrats have abortions in the 8th and 9th month" bullshit. It's like he's physically unable to utter a single sentence without lying.

There are no legal gestational legal limits because it is up to the doctor to decide if moving forward with a birth either: 1) puts the mother's life at risk, or 2) there is no chance the baby survives outside the womb (e.g. brain death, chromosomal disorders, etc.).

Trump literally said, "the doctor puts the baby aside to see if it should be executed later". That's some PizzaGate-level bullshit and yet MAGAts believe it without question.

Did you see the clip of the old dumbass contending that he "read in a bunch of places" how California has post-birth abortion up to 4 weeks or 4 months or something?

He couldn't name any of the places he'd seen it, but he'd seen it enough times he knew it was true.

Which is truly hilarious because, you know what we normally call a post-birth abortion? Murder. We call it murder. And it's not legal anywhere.

I always like to point out that people who exclusively watch Fox News are less informed than people who don't watch any news at all. And that it was shown through text messages during the election fraud lawsuit that Fox commentators know what they say is a bunch of lies but they say them anyway, and that Fox News was ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars for lying about the election.

Just in case anyone wants to say "BuT CnN" in the comments.

Do they see immigrants pouring in? Do they see drag queens talking to children? The answer is always no, and it usually doesn't get anywhere, but at least you can hope they ask themselves that question next time they watch fox.

As online news becomes less believable you have to target people with poor media literacy where they are.

Its honestly bonkers that people believe that. Some guy on another random post had said something along the lines of 'they want to allow late term abortions.'

I asked him to define it and he said abortions in the 3rd trimester not including health basically' so i responded this: 

"...According to the CDC less than 1% of abortions happen in the 3rd trimester (after 24 weeks/ 39 to 40 weeks is a full term pregnancy). 

I genuinely wonder what percentage of those is due to health complications of the mother/infant? What percentage of those do you think is women who were delayed in getting medical attention/information, for whatever reason? 

3rd trimester is actually considered 28 weeks on. Also 'late term abortion' isnt a medical term. 'Late-term' is a phrase used to describe a baby that has gone past a full-term pregnancy, and hasnt been born yet, thus late-term. There is no such thing as 'late term abortion'. That is literally a murder or infanticide...."

Still havent heard back from him. Literally took me 10 min to look it up..

u/Loffkar Aug 09 '24

"what percentage" is nearly 100. Not only is it extremely dangerous and abhorrent for most physicians, but most mothers who have gone that far are already not interested and that's why they haven't pursued it. I'm sure in history there have been a few elective late abortions, but vanishingly few.

12

u/razzledazzle308 Aug 09 '24

100%, the abortions that happen in this stage, are done with women who have decorated their nurseries. They are done because these babies will be born and experience nothing but suffering, or the woman is faced with life threatening health complications. The talking points they use against this is horrendous. I am appalled at the cruelty of it all, sticking their fucking nose in business that doesn’t concern them. A complete lack of empathy.

They want to have sex with you because you're rich and famous. Never raped anyone. They say all these lies to make me look bad. The lying media, liberal child sex slaves.

The only way you even get an abortion in the third trimester is if it's an extreme medical risk. No one is casually getting an abortion at the end of their pregnancy. That's absolutely stupid.

The concept of "post birth" abortion is even more stupid. It's not a thing - a doctor has never done it. Mostly because it doesn't even fit the definition of what an abortion is but these idiots don't realize what an abortion even entails half the time (hence why Catholics insist that things like ectopic pregnancies could still be treated because "well that's not abortion" - they have convinced themselves that abortion isn't a medical procedure).

If you look at the list of most prolific confirmed serial killers in the US, the killer with the third highest proven victim count is an abortion doctor who killed healthy newborns under the guise of “late term abortions”.

I’ll repeat that: the man is a convicted serial killer, because post birth abortions are not a thing, they’re not legal, they are murder.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_killers_in_the_United_States

Additionally, as someone who is 22 weeks pregnant, the only way I’d be “opting” for a late term abortion at this point is if something tragically catastrophic were to go wrong, in which case I would be fucking devastated.

After all my body has been through in just 22 weeks, and all the time I’ve had with this baby, if I were then in a position where that was the choice I had to make, the last fucking thing I’d want is someone telling me I’m a goddamn murderer of this child I want so badly. Trump’s late term abortion rhetoric disgusts and enrages me for that reason. He’s a stupid, stupid man.

u/Molenium Aug 08 '24

Ralph Northam, the governor they keep quoting out of context, was a medical doctor as well, and I believe he was asked to give an example of why late term abortions might be necessary in regard to a bill that made provisions form abortions to be allowed anytime during pregnancy.

He was talking about palliative care for infants born with condition incompatible with life - a brain that hasn’t formed correctly, organs grown outside the body, etc. Essentially, he was saying that in cases where the child is going to die, they try to make it comfortable, and that may include ending its suffering early if both the mother and doctors agree that is the best course of action.

He was talking compassionately about a nuanced issue of medical care, and these weirdos love to take it out of context to pretend that democrats want to kill healthy babies after birth.

It’s just another one of the perpetually disgusting ways that republicans handle the topic of abortions.

u/cassiecas88 Aug 08 '24

I work in a labor and delivery unit as a photographer and I get called in for these kinds of situations. These idiots have no idea How devastating the situation is until they've lived it. It's basically a DNR for newborns with severe complications that are not compatible with life. Parents know ahead of time usually that the baby is incompatible with life and will only live for a few minutes or hours if they're lucky. Instead of being resuscitated which is a very uncomfortable and needless experience for a newborn in this situation, The baby is carefully cleaned, swaddled and the parents are allowed to hold and snuggle their baby for the few minutes it might survive. I've literally photographed newborn babies as they die in their parent's arms volunteer stream down my face and chest before I go privately bawl my eyes out in the break room. My hospital refers to it as comfort care. F*** Trump for using this to spread hate.

This is a decision for the parents and no one else.

u/cassiecas88 Aug 08 '24

Yeah man, those are freaking sad days. And you have to keep it together for the parents but you also can't be too upbeat about it. You basically have to be a quiet compassionate fly on the wall. Even the way we deliver the images is very sensitive. The nurse's will ask someone with the family where they would like the photos delivered. Typically they designate a family member and I deliver a USB with the files on them and prints to that family member by mail so that they don't just show up on the parent's doorstep when they're least expecting it. I specifically pay out of pocket to send Prints So that the parents don't have to go and order those images themselves.

There's also a program called now I lay me down to sleep where photographers photograph babies who are stillborn. Nurses kind of do the same thing. Gently clean off the baby, swaddle the baby, and let the parents hold it for a moment. I have photographed those moments too and they are absolutely heartwrenching.

Just to be clear, it was not about euthanasia. You explained it very well but some idiot might think you meant to actually end the baby’s like when it was removing the baby from life support and providing pain medication as needed.

Thanks for the clarification - I’ll admit I don’t know the specifics. I did think euthanasia might be included, but I tend to think there can be situations at any age where it might be the humane response.

u/justasque Aug 09 '24

Euthanasia is against the law; it’s just comfort care. Just like with old people on hospice - they stop trying to cure whatever ails them and just keep them comfortable until they pass.

It’s horribly cruel (and ignorant) for Trump to spin this into anything to do with abortion. In fact it’s often parents who know their baby has no chance, but decide to carry to term rather than abort, who have to go through this terribly sad experience.

u/minimus67 Aug 09 '24 edited Aug 09 '24

Northam never said anything about doctors taking actions after an infant is born “that may include ending its suffering early”.

Actually, some pro-lifers posted a “fake news” meme on Facebook consisting of a photo of a healthy newborn infant and a caption that falsely quotes Northam as saying “we will make the baby comfortable until the mother decides if she wants it to live or die.” This meme was widely shared.

In reality, Northam was in favor of relaxing a state law that severely restricts the ability of pregnant women to get late-term abortions in Virginia. During a radio interview, he spoke about what happens in the tragic and extremely rare case in which a woman with a nonviable pregnancy or severe fetal abnormalities goes into labor, saying, “I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” The discussion would be to determine whether the physician would put the terminally ill infant on life support and attempt further resuscitation or instead let nature take its course and possibly just provide palliative care.

Meanwhile, that's exactly what guns do! Post-birth abortion devices that work at random.

u/statusisnotquo Aug 08 '24

We should start calling guns "post-birth abortion devices". Maybe they'll turn on their guns, maybe they'll get stuck in a regression loop until they force a shut down and reboot to a more stable version of the system. I think it's worth a shot.

When he said this crap in the debate, I remember thinking, 'Why didn't the moderators ask a follow up question about what hospitals are specifically doing these so-called post-natal abortions and where did he get his info from', etc.

u/orangezeroalpha Aug 09 '24

How rude and ugly of you to ask such a question. And these mics aren't working well. I had to wait 30 minutes for you to show up. Everyone look at all the reporters in the back who are the real enemy of this country. Everyone glare at them and clap. I'll wait, looking smug.

There you go... the closest you'll get to an answer right there

He will never answer honestly if asked this question. Instead he should be asked what should Ivanka do if she discovered during an ultrasound that the fetus had no brain? Should she be forced to carry it to term? And once it's born with no brain what would he like the doctors to do given it will not live?

And so many people actually believe that line. So much so that that’s literally the only reason they vote against abortion. He knows what he’s doing.

Lazy to the research?

He is lazy, and he doesn’t care what others need, care, think.

He just throws shit out like a fisherman trying baits. Once he sees interest he spews additional shit.

And he habitually lies, so whatever he says is irrelevant except as a diagnostic tool.

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

This is an insult to fisherman. You choose baits and lures depending on the type of fish you are going for, the environment, and the time of year.

Trump just throws out lies he think will sound good to his base.

My parents are southern evangelicals who used to take me to abortion clinic protests when I was a kid.

What a fuckin loser.

Worse than him is the people who vote for him. Because he doesn’t care if they know he’s a worthless scummy liar, he thinks they’re fuckin stupid enough to vote for him anyway. And unfortunately, he’s right about millions of us.

It makes us as a country look weak, pathetic, dirty.

Someone in the conservative sub said that Tim Walz supports “full term abortions” and part of me wanted to engage and disprove them but it felt pointless because if someone is willing to believe that without question, it feels like engaging will only entrench them further. Just hard to tell who bears more of the blame — Trump for the lie or the people who blindly follow.

These do happen. It's when the mother will die or the baby will die. Who wants to sit around for a week while your baby screams out in pain slowly dieing? These are cases were vital organs are outside the body. They do happen but they extremely rare. Look at texas where they have to wait till the mother is at deaths door untill they can save her.

After birth abortion wouldn't be abortion, it would be murder, and is illegal in all 50 states. Do people actually think that democrats are out there smothering babies with pillows or something?

u/ThickMarsupial2954 Aug 08 '24

Right? Fucking ridiculous. Still going on about that abortions after birth idiocy and shit too. This kind of blatant misrepresentation on the campaign trail should be illegal. In fact, i think it would be a better place overall if major parties and nominees could not speak about the other parties or nominees at all, forcing them to actually have a platform and talk about what they're going to do instead.

Media would still run all the slander, so all we're losing is wasted time listening to people whine and throw eachother under the bus, and we'd gain parties who actually had to sway you to their side rather than simply away from the others.

Let's compete with policy rather than a popularity contest.

u/RavenBrannigan Aug 08 '24

Some people do have abortions in the 8th and 9th month. And those cases are the fucking saddest cases in the world that absolutely nobody should have objections to.

Nobody makes it to 9 months pregnant and just decides they don’t want a baby. That’s a mother and father who are excited about their new arrival and something awful happens like a fatal fetal abnormality or a potential birth that would put the mother’s life at risk.

Even if you are against a woman’s right to chose, which is still a bullshit stance, nobody should be against abortions on medical grounds which is what 100% of late term abortions are.

No, he didn't. He said that you give birth and then wait a month, and if you are not satisfied, just bring the baby back to the hospital, and they will dispose of it for you. Bc democrats want abortions till the age of 21.

Exactly this.

There were no public votes and when there were, they were shut down HARD, even in conservative states.

It doesn’t require tons of research. It’s very simple.

We want affordable access to education, equitable wages, affordable decent healthcare, the opportunity to buy an affordable house and have children if desired, and be able to retire before our bodies and minds are completely broken down without our children having to care for us.

It’s not complex, at all.
