Anti abortionists are some of the worst people ever to walk this earth.

Talk about moving the goalposts

steerAwwPrincess
Catholics and Evangelicals are hypocrites.
elect86
I agree, but not all of them
bluerazzgummy
So...... they are just admitting they aren’t pro life anymore then...?
SkynetWithAPoopKnife
They were never pro life. They're just repressed and jealous and think sex should be something you get punished for having
TheOneTrueZippy8
“If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.” Picketing clinics is your hobby.
kojenk
THese were always just their principlies on paper. Their real priority was creating laws to stamp down women and the poor.
BrazilianThunderPanda
Does that mean that abortions are ok if women just say they’re for Trumps super medicine?
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
wait so now all i have to do is let someone else do the abortion and i can keep eating fetuses to maintain my youth without getting hassled?
BigTex1
Christopher Reeves? I thought you died in like 2004.
NatesSauceLab
The lack of scientific understanding behind this post, and supporting it, is really troubling.
dunnojustletmein
Given your other two comments here the same could be said about yourself.
DeathLemons
Much like pick-and-choose adventure style a lot of christians do with the bible, this does not surprise me.
MegPintDear
Cognitive dissonance.
Yick
Because we can all guarantee that Trump has never been involved with an abortion.
wadenelson1
Or twelve.
TheHorseShesElbowDeepIn
The excuse is never the reason on the right. That way you haven't even touched their reason even after disproving their excuse.
IsaacNuetron
Of course it "ok"...these folk have been trying to stop any fetal research of any type for decades.
Youhavinagiraffe
Are they also ok with all the abortions he's paid his mistresses to have over the years?
Carlosjackr
Maga people are incredibly stupid and hypocritical
AceBandito
As if there are people going "No doctor, I don't want YOUR stem cells, I want MY stem cells. I brought these from home, from my own fetus!"

I'm in NE Pennsylvania and it's wall-to-wall Trump signs out here.
Hblasnek
It's so disappointing. I have yet to meet a Trump supporter who actually reads his Twitter feed. Blind ignorance is what follows him
ElroydIsGone
Hasn't this always been the traditional conservative stance on abortion? The "Good Conservative" pressures his "little plaything" to get >
ElroydIsGone
it done and then it's the woman's evilness, because she had it done? And he... I mean, he doesn't really know her, maybe met her twice...

"Don't tell me you're doing it, if it happens just take care of it" after telling my friend hes pro life bc he believes in taking 1)
wispsandwhispers
Responsibility for your actions. I guess you only have to take responsibility if you're dating. 2)
Thelrishlnquistion
It was inevitable. Hypocritical scumbags.
kojenk
We already knew what they were, this just adds further confirmation.
kojenk
Their priority was always just passing laws which crushed women. So accepting this is not an issue to them.
Thelrishlnquistion
That’s always been their goal.
motherofwaggins2
In that case...What if I told you that you don’t have to be involved in anyone’s abortion? Like ever?
friendsofsandwiches
Aren't these the same women who, when they have a pregnancy they don't want, they go to the very abortion clinic they protest in front of?
LordHosk
And generally get pissed off at, and verbally abusive of, the doctors and nurses in the clinics they are at for performing abortions.
crateo
No, they travel to a different state. Then they go back to the protest.
xenocrisis0153
God can't cross state lines, so he'll never know.
crateo
Except in Utah, of course...
busterkittwhistle3
It’s all a moral issue. There’s only one Judge and it’s not you, or me, or Trump. It’s God. Rev. Chapter 5. He’s the one standing.

So who reminds the women outside when they decide to sneak inside to get the deed done?

Science up homie. 2020 stem cells had no role here.
MyDadSaysButanesABastardGas
1970s stem cells on the other hand...
lovethecapybara
I do agree with you. But the cell line(HEK293) used for these antibodies was an old line that was derived from aborted tissues in Europe.
AtlasLongjaw
It's a cluster of delusions, one birthing another. But by delusion here I mean to equate cells with a human being, be it a fertilized egg, -
AtlasLongjaw
embryo or a cell line. The cells are building blocks and information reservoirs of the living being, and should be respected as such, but -
AtlasLongjaw
not given moral rights.
codehooligans
Like saying I’m vegetarian but I can eat a steak because I didn’t kill the cow.
seveneljeven
This. It’s like saying you love animals, but still eating meat because you didn’t kill them.
airforceteacher
I’m like the greatest vegetarian then. People are saying that. Lots of people.
Jace99
Apparently. Do you know how many "vegans" have leather seats in their cars? Point it out to them, the excuses are hilarious.
Devolv3
Wait....are you saying I've always been a vegan? Holy Shit. I have so many people to tell.
Kurama99
The mental gymnastics on this
admiralcrackbar
It's like this. As long as the results align with their agenda then it's perfectly okay.
mooncactus
Wonder what their stance would’ve been if it were Biden?
gradeD
It would have been 48 hours of hellfire and damnation on right-wing hate media, naturellement
WhistlinDickC
Olympics should make it a sport. USA would sweep the podium every year.
BigFatFailureTurtle
Yeah, imagine whitewashing an entire group based on the moronic opinions of a few?
Blackranger3d
Olympic level.
kevinbaken
Wait...so their stance is now it's ok as long as you weren't personally involved in said abortion?
HumbabaEpic2
It’s almost like they’re saying (now stay with me here) if they’re against abortion (wait for it) then they just shouldn’t personally have 1
balasjones
Thats always been my stance. I find abortion abhorrent but I'm still pro choice because people have the right to make their own life choices
balasjones
Its not my job or governments job to tell you how to live your life. Your all grown ass men and women. Make your choices and live em lol
apeshigh
Now thats presumptuous, it was ok for Trump and only Trump..... well maybe its OK for them if they need it, but as a rule, no its not OK...
GiraffeApocalpyse
busterkittwhistle3
Murder is never okay! And to advocate is evil.
DoEpicStuffVIVibes
Always an excuse.. it’s sad
itsahorse
No imagine Joe Biden getting this treatment. He would be flamed. It's just brainless words.
00110001001001111010000110110110011
They don’t give a shit about the aborted fetuses. It’s all about controlling women and keeping people from having sex
slimjimtimmytim
Just President Trump. If you do it it’s not ok
Stefnos
it's okey to use aborted fetuses, aslong as you werent the one getting the abortion.....
cheyennerrobinson1337
People who think like that don’t use logic, it’s horrifying
nigelstanfordfan237
Indeed
Bystandr
Yeah ! Just like it would be OK to be a nazi supporter if you didnt kill any jews yourself!
Bystandr
/s
Blizky
And if your are Trump as well
ThisUsernameIsTaken123
At this point, who the fuck knows. They are so twisted up in their own 'logic'
Ngherappa
You should google an article called "the only righteous abortion". Many of these people are nuts.
UrinalCarrier
As a non-american, the topics that are the centre of public debate in the US seem as if from another dimension...
Wulfborn
Nah, it's bad unless you support them and their beliefs. Then whatever you do is ok. But it's still bad for anyone else to do it.
press1forenglish
This is like the the people who can only eat a hamburger if they didn’t personally know the cow
VampireHisses
I think they just turned pro abortion... or could it be that? They never cared about the issue in an honest way? I take the latter.
drakewarnock
They're SO close to the point.
SuperHir0
I bet they wouldn't extend this cognitive dissonance onto anyone but Trump or themselves.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
IF you're the guy whose boots they lick, yes.
XIXXXVIVIII
otherwise, you're a disgusting child murdering, filthy commie, piece of satanic, bisexual, soy-loving, freedumb hating shit.
Holte
Is that what they really think or are they just going with what some paid shill/grifter said?
purina5
Top comment for the day please please please
billyrayvalentine
They don't even know because the only thing they really believe in is controlling others. Plain and simple.
AnOceanOfStars
They never had a stance, only immeasurable retardedness.
Blazefast
Man oh man dat zou de pieten discussie hier gemakkelijk oplossen... +1 for world hypocrisy
Truckfromthewoods
Starting to sound a lot like “I don’t agree with it but if you want to do it, go for it”
ElroydIsGone
I mean, they are used to pressuring their "little playthings" to get it removed, so they have lots of practice with this hypocrisy...
MrChurch
kekoakai
No, their stance is it’s ok so long as you’re Trump.
RideTheStimutacs
Isn't that literally everyone? Does anyone go get an abortion and then demand you use their own fetus to treat them?
omnipotentpasta
It’s a moving target. Try and keep up.
metalrulercid
"now" lol it's always been that. Karens get pregnant and sorry while telling the Drs and nurses what horrible monsters they are.
ThomasGersky
So vegans can eat meat cause they didn't directly slaughter the animal?
SlappedStupid
Vegans can eat meat, they just choose not to. It's not quite the same as telling somebody else what they are allowed to do.
JustAnotherVictimOfAmbientMorality
Well, some of those people have actually _had_ abortions. It's mainly other people's abortions they are against.
daisymyrt
You can’t get through to these people. Tin pail on head banging into wall. Ooof. Repeat. Ooof.
Frenchgeek
Time to use a smartphone during the abortion then...
Samagon
Whatever gets us to a point that "my body, my choice" is the prevailing attitude.
Avlaen
There stance has allways been its fine for me but not for others.
ArdentSlacker
They only care about controlling women, and he's not one.
photog
Well I have not been involved with any abortion ever so we can now rest on the issue.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d

Corona688
until now when its apparently A-OK
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
And they eventually gave up because the tide of science and the greater good essentially forced them to.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Conservatism is like a small group of nerds standing behind you holding a greased up rope that is tied to your waist.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Bitter sad people who cant accept that progress and diversity are human nature, and homogeniety and religious zealotism isnt.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Very very
mardukkur
They just want to attack and harass the dirty sluts, they don't give a shit about abortions.
DoEpicStuffVIVibes
But they are the same sluts.. the loudest people are usually the worst offenders
Corona688
Quite a lot of conservative christianity is about self-flagellation.
Corona688
It also nicely explains the large number of conservative senators who mysteriously fall on dicks every year
XIXXXVIVIII
"You got raped at the age of 11? Disgusting whore. I bet you were asking for it by dressing like a prostitute, no abortion for you."
DeusExSpockina
This is sarcastic but yes, people do actually think this way.
MiniMartimus
But when it's themselves or someone they care for then it's justified
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
But of course! *They* are good people, so they deserve to have whatever they want. Everyone *else* is a lazy sinner who should get nothing.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Their stance is the same as the CEO of PETA using animal tested insulin. "It's ok when WE do it"
LerryV2
Its kinda like PETA being ok with using insulin, even though it was developed by testing on dogs. But animal testing is bad.
TechnicallyRight
So research is ok?
theangryjanitor
They don't think they rationalize whatever their feelings tell them to.
MaliceofTheHighestDegree
They don't think.
Sesquey
The mental gymnastics are dizzying.
TheFactivist
Not sure if it’s rationalization as much as it is Olympian level mental gymnastics.
ReaperCDN
That's what rationalizing means. Attempt to explain using some form of logic, even if it's not true.
TheFactivist
I guess my point is that they’re incapable of using logic.
theangryjanitor
Baked the logic right into this one! +1
ReaperCDN
That's fair!
Nottherealmarijuanapepsi
I know anti-abortion people who HAD fucking abortions (notice plural) while being anti-abortion. They think it’s different for them because
Nottherealmarijuanapepsi
They think their circumstances were dire enough to need an abortion, but that other women that get abortions just do it for no reason.
Nottherealmarijuanapepsi
It is mind-boggling.
Fabulously
Hypercritical bastards
Gosuamakenatek
Hypercritical when it comes to everyone else's actions, hypocritical when it comes to their own.
palmo
It's not critical as in criticism it's critical as in critical thinking. That's why it's hypo(low).
Hammertulski
HEPAcritical because their stupidity has no filter.
Itwasmyname
Hypocritical?
theangryjanitor
Both really.
graehall
Noice! :)
Beautifulbeard

I'm pretty sure hypo- is the opposite of hyper-, though? Like hypothermia = too cold, hyperthermia = too hot

Excessive criticism of others and lacking criticism of themselves
