Reminds me of the “i don’t agree but tolerate it” towards gay people attitude. That doesn’t make me think you’re any less of a prick

Really need to stop bringing up "empathy" and "compassion" in these kinds of discussions. It's something those types will never concede to.

Did an externship while in school. Told one client love doesn’t leave bruises(like she had). D/c inst came w/shelter number. She called.

These people have zero empathy. They’re the exceptions to their own rules because they are indifferent to how their policies effect others.
hardytardigrade
Applies to conservatives in general. As long as they don't need something, no one else should have it. And if they do, it's a special case.
motoalchemist
we all kinda knew this, Republicans in general are exactly like this

It's an ideology of extreme selfishness that has more recently taken on authoritarian and fascistic shades. It ain't good.

I personally know two separate women in similar situations- problematic pregnancies, had abortions, called them miscarriages, still pro life

The organized right hijacked the higher reasoning functions of their herd and those people are proof.

I'm not surprised, but then again I'm also not surprised because this has been posted so many times since the first time 15 months ago.

Err no not remotely surprised. That's the primary difference between the modern conservative and everyone else - empathy.

They "empathize" with those in power above them. It's a fully authoritarian movement now.

Oh, some of them will though. Knew a girl who thought losing her virginity before marriage was wrong. Had tons of buttsex.

Some ppl have this mentality "I've done this myself, so I have the right to advocate others don't because of MY OWN experience doing this...

Empathy is the key word. Religious fundamentalism kills empathy in those indoctrinated.

Being anti-abortion, like anti-vaxx, isn't really a policy position. It's usually a statement of group identity.

Abortion as a political issue was made such by a concerted effort by regressive and organized right wing forces in the US. It is not 1/

It's all to keep the various strawmen up as outrage generators, in order to drive their minions to the polls. The GOP are fucking evil.
gradeD
Yes. They flagrantly spread the "gvmt is evil" line, while they are the active participants in making it so. Extremely selfish and twisted.
somtin
Here's the thing. Abortion is only mentioned in the bible once, and describes how to do one. So yeah it's a political move for power.
gotamachinehead
Catholic Church had no opposition to abortion before the baby’s movements could be felt until 1869

Very well said. It's why the CRT-style claims of 'wokeness' being a dominant ideology are so troubling. Classic fascist self victimization

It seems to me that people like that see the world as black and white, no exceptions. You're either against abortions 100% or you get them

Regularly because you like murdering babies in the name of Satan. They don't seem to understand that there are many gray areas in between.

It's easy if you try. But other commenters are right, even attempts to remove it usually just mean it gets replaced with something similar.

Not sure why a clinic wouldn't simply choose not to perform a procedure on someone who clearly thinks it's a bad thing.
freckledkink
They're there to perform medical procedures, not confirm a belief system. There are private medical institutions that will turn people away
freckledkink
For various reasons, but most are for the public and won't turn any away who need the medical intervention they specialize in. I mean, look
freckledkink
At hospitals the past 2 years. They've been overflowing with Covidiots who've said covid is a hoax and and say the vaccination is (random

Conspiracy) with their dying breath. There's literally no telling how many thousands have died because triage dictates these are in more

Serious medical need than those who have heart attacks, cancer, etc, and they can't be turned away just because they're stupid and evil.

If they provided their consent and agreed to the procedure then they clear think it's a good think, despite their doublethink.

I can't disagree with providing medical care. But if someone truly believes abortions are bad, and is berating staff, they can choose to not

You can't start empowering medical people to deny treatment to people based on their personal beliefs. You just can't.

"Abusive" isn't the same as "personal beliefs."

Don't give a shit. It's also personal for the people they try to deny access to the same rights. Hypocrites need to be called out.

Women who are pro abortion aren't the hypocrites. She's taking it from personal to public by ostracizing others. Fuck her.

As opposed to all the women who need help and are put on blast by those "God loving people" the same ones who harass abortion clinics ?
