It's slightly unfortunate that that phase became the meme.
It unfortunately implies that reality has an opinion, and that if it currently favours liberals. Which opens the possibility that it can be persuaded or cajoled to favour conservatives.
The truth is more that liberals have a reality and evidence bias.
Despite all their shouting about liberal snowflakes and their feelings. Conservatives have a bias towards what feels right to them. Based on pre-existing beliefs, almost regardless of data.

When they talk about “post birth abortion,” they’re talking about palliative care for infants who have health conditions that are terminal. They want to force families and doctors to repeatedly revive infants who have medical conditions that make them die shortly after birth. They want to force people to watch their babies flatline over and over again.
The worst part of it is they paint the doctors and nurses who provide comfort care to the poor babies as murderers. They’re actually advocating torturing babies. But they pretend democrats are killing them after they’re born.

I've come to realize that this is just how the game is played. The right is evil, their supporters know they are evil and in their hearts, they support that evil because they think it benefits them.
The left, coming from the position of just wanting people to get along and be taken care of, can't act like complete sociopaths without losing support, because their supporters actually care about that and don't want to elect psychos.
Right now the right is suffering from their own success (read: dumbass decisions motivated by greed and spite) and so they'll vote against their guys temporarily, because they are greedy and spiteful first, and if you mess with their bag, they'll disown you.
But if they are ever allowed in power again, this process will repeat itself. It did with Reagan, it did with Bush, and now we have the Orange. Everyone left of center needs to be aware that if they ever allow conservatives into power again, this is what you will get.

u/ShatoraDragon 3d ago
Anyone having a abortion that late into their pregnancy. The baby is dead and they are removing the body from her body before it starts to rot inside of her and kills her as well. It is not because they chickened out at the 11th hour. Something very tragic happened.
Yes some babies tragically do not thrive outside of the womb and die shortly after birth. The times they are calling "Post Birth Abortion" are cases of the child having a known medical condtion that is going to kill them, that the parents ether found out to late into the pregnancy to terminate, or made the choice to bring the child to term and love them for the few hours they would have before they pass.
The only Gender Mutilations being done (outside of the "excepted" circumcision) is done mostly on Intersex children where the doctor and parents will pick a gender for the child and make the genitals match.

The only time abortions happen close to birth is when neither the mother or baby can survive it. And by that point, it becomes a harrowing, traumatic ordeal for the mother.

u/SuperVillainPresiden 2d ago
Hopefully and obviously, no one wants abortions to have to be a thing. But they do and there are some scenarios where it's required if we don't want both the mom and fetus to die.
And, just my opinion obviously, if you're anti-abortion and you have no foster children then STFU. There are (the last number I saw on this) ~400,000 children in foster care. Once we get that all the way down to like less than 10,000(I'd like it to be close to zero) then I'll listen to what they have to say. If you care more for a fetus than the quality of life for children, in general but, without parents then you're a monster in my eyes.
Also, the vast majority of cases(like 90+%) that have used abortion laws to prosecute women have been filed against women who had miscarriages. In the first year after Roe v Wade was overturned only 2 of like 200-300 cases actually involved abortions. All others were miscarriages. Because you know if abortion is murder then miscarriage is manslaughter right?(/s) These people just want to control and torture women. And, if hell is real, I'll take solace in seeing these people in hell with me.

This is the big difference between the left and the right. The left routinely points out how absurd so many of the right's talking points are, as well as the fact that things get measurably worse in right wing regimes. The Right, on the other hand, has no firepower whatsoever. There's nothing for them to actually point at as an example of the left making things demonstrably worse. Not en masse anyway, so they have to lie. Because Democratic politicians only sins are upholding the status quo and playing ball with the right when they're trying to curb progressive power in their own party. Republican politicians can't point at the sins of Dems because they don't want the status quo to change either, beyond them being the ones in charge or making things worse.

So ultimately I tell a lie with something that can't be true, like up until the age of one you can abort a child and 90% of the people hearing this information will be like that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But 10% of the people will actually buy into it. Now I found my group of people. See below this is actually a Russian technique I knew I remembered it from the documentary I just couldn't put my finger on it.A real example: Operation INFEKTION In the 1980s, the KGB spread a fabricated story claiming that the United States had created HIV/AIDS as a biological weapon. The story was planted in foreign media and circulated internationally. Soviet intelligence also studied how its disinformation campaigns were received and repeated. Another particularly relevant source is the famous 1984 interview with Yuri Bezmenov, in which he discusses changing people's perception of reality until they reject contradictory evidence. Those are his claims and interpretations, not proof of a specific scientific experiment. Watch the interview: Yuri Bezmenov — The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion (1984)

Jean-Paul Sartre:
Never believe that anti‐ Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.
True of the Right in general, not just antisemitism.

These things are more realistic to think about and therefore less easy to fearmonger over during election cycles. In the U.S. at least abortions never went to "before birth" just because people "felt like it" or something.
