"Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months, but after that they don't want to know about you." - George Carlin
But now they're obsessed with the fetus only until you go into labor, then you're on your own. 😞

I'm so, so confused about the Republicans' thinking on babies.

altcdc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Us too!

silentmother.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m not. They want the “right kind of babies”. Babies of poor women are not “good stock”. This is typical eugenics. It is supposed to “encourage” the poor women to have fewer babies. Btdt in the interwar period in Europe.

liszs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly! Current MAGA wants babies of a particular color to live evidenced by slashing Medicaid which funds 40% of US births, Kennedy’s altered vaccine schedule for non-white children, and defunding USAID which feeds the poor throughout the world.

silentmother.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It’s a Regan-era thing, the “welfare queen” who is portrayed as black. That racism has infused our activism because it tripped our confirmation bias. That our own internalized racism to think that poor equates to non-white. The majority of people in poverty in the US are white.

liszs.bsky.social•16 hours ago

True. You’ll see the poverty in rural America, especially in the South.

silentmother.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Sort of. 39% of Medicaid recipients are white. 29.9% are Hispanic and 18.5% are Black. It’s not just non-white kids. It’s both non-white AND people in poverty. Poverty makes people “undesirable” and less than. We need to talk about this comprehensively.

liszs.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I’m guessing that many of the 39% group voted for Trump because he promised not to cut Medicaid, Medicare, or SSA.

nbrockmann.bsky.social•1 day ago

If you just understand “birth” as “punishment for women who have sex,” this all becomes clearer. Yes, obligate a woman to give birth, and then punish her even further by not paying for it. It’s a double whammy. It’s what they want.

aczub.bsky.social•1 day ago

What they want is only “their” women giving birth to “their” babies, cared for by “their” grandparents. If you’re not in or unable to fulfill one of those three roles, you don’t deserve to exist.

kjc65.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The Catholic Church knows the republicans want to destroy medicaid, snap and other benefits for the poor but continue to push Catholics to vote for them because of abortion. They know trump wanted to deport all the migrants and asylum seekers. They chose this.

Remind any of them that are professed as Christian who want to cut the funding of Matthew 25:31-46, paraphrased here:
"Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for I was sick, and you took care of me.

thezinger90.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.’

thezinger90.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You who are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, for I was sick and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you sick and did not take care of you?’
