This is what the right wing thinks. Having a baby costs nothing. Might be satire but when if it's pretty true

How the fuck do these people even exist?

grifters gonna grift. Don’t know if the tweet is real, but I can attest to the lunacy that is Christianity in our country. There are some real good people and Christian’s out there, but overshadowed but the nuttery that is people like osteen

I found this to be very interesting discussion between a OB/Gyn and ZDoggMD.

She brought up some interesting points about how the current Anti-Abortion laws can take away treatment options for doctors.
She brought a concern around what is called a missed-abortion. That is the fetus has miscarriage so the pregnancy is no longer viable but the fetus is still inside the uterus. You need to get the fetus out of the Uterus before it becomes septic but it isn't a elective termination.
She also brought up the issue for a lot of people without adequate health-care. You can have a problem that someone is coming in for their first pre-natal visit at 14-16 weeks but during the examination something else is discovered like pelvic cancer. Now there is a dilemma that you want to start radiation treatment ASAP but cannot along as the woman is pregnant.

Abortion: Medical & Ethical Realities (w/Dr. Alexandre West)

interesting, but worthless to half the population

I wouldn't classify all Christians in the same category as televangelist such as Olsteen. they are just in it for the money, I suspect some are atheist and just milking their flock.

Everybody I knew who listened to him happened to be really terrible with money. So of course they sent him money and endlessly listened to his property gospel bullshit.

yes, I don’t classify all religious person the same. Osteen and prosperity gospel grifters have been around before TV was a thing, and people that believe in that garbage have been around just as long. The U.S. has lots of these types of Christians (add quotes if you like, cuz they’re not actually Christians)

this topic goes deeper than this also. Denominational differences, theology differences, etc…Bottom line is that from a birds eye view, a lot of Christs’ professed followers wouldn’t know him if he tested them today. They’d fail.

self righteousness, anger, hate, judgemental, ignorant, this is the average U.S. Christian today. Not all, but many, and you don’t have to go far to find them.

It's all a con job. A scam. These televangelist simply discovered a loophole in the tax code where they don't have to pay taxes because they can claim religious exemption.
So instead of robbing banks or lifting handbags from old ladies, they decide to become televangelist.

There are cons and there are cons. Religion is just another area where someone figured out a way to con people into giving money FREE MONEY. THEN to also con the federal government with not paying taxes on that free money.

We see con jobs every day. Donald Trump is a con job and those who Trump cons can't even see what is happening to them. And the same with the televangelist flock, they too can't even see the con being played upon them.
I guess the insecurities of some peoples make them willing prey for the con artist.

You might even call it a form of S&M, sadism, where some people actually enjoy being taken advantage of by narcissistic politicians and televangelist.

If this doesn't get people out to vote in November nothing will.
Democrats have a single message between now and the midterms: If you want to protect the right to an abortion nationwide rather than rely on a patchwork of state decisions, we need 60 seats in the Senate and a House majority.

Thomas has some thoughts about what's next


came here to post this.
we all knew this was the next domino they were going to topple. I dunno who these fucks think they are screwing with, but if they start knocking down these decsions, they are going to be the impetus to start bloodshed

I notice "The Honorable" Thomas didn't mention anything about the Loving decision. Fucking piece of shit
