women are having trouble getting the pills for medical abortions...in a time of Pandemic. Expect a baby explosion 9 months from now, from lack or access to birth control or to a doctor who will implant an IUD. Why is it women who always get screwed?

Radical religious fanatics totally suck.

In general, even in these times, I really try not to wish diseases and bad things on people, but if these disgusting idiots all came down with COVID-19, I'd pause briefly to feel sorry (for the medical professionals forced to treat them, mostly) and then move on with my day, giving a mental thumbs-up to the concept of karma as I did so.

Fuck these creeps with a series of rusty garden weasels.

Thanks for the clarification.

I actually do know that Catholic doctrine says that it was Mary who was conceived by Immaculate Conception (so she'd be a worthy brood mare, I guess). And of course this was only possible 'cause of her son's worthiness.

It is mildly interesting that the purity concept has been popularly assigned to the son instead of the mother.

I once saw a bumper sticker saying: "Pro Choice Before Birth, Pro Life After", it is a great bumper sticker.

What if all PP centers hired drag queens to help people going in? Aren't they like Kryptonite to the forced birthers?

That and drag queens can and will beat the shit out of you if you cross the line. All the ones I knew in DC, anyway.

No, please. The thing is, if people are out getting sick, they're not helping to flatten the curve. If the medical system is overwhelmed, then it's not just these guys falling ill, and potentially requiring mechanical aid for respiration, it's the doctors and nurses worked to exhaustion taking care of them, and it's the other patients impacted when the medical staff has to actually start triaging patients.

Everyone, even assholes who insist on controlling women's bodies, has to pitch in, or we're really likely to end up exhausting our resources, exhausting our medical people, and running completely out of hope.

Pro sperm. They believe their God chose his favorite sperm at creation. So any sperm could be a Holy Sperm. (The original Holy Ghost.) They think they defending gods plan.

This really does end with MAGAs deliberately infecting themselves with COVID-19 in order to help it spread, eh?

A couple weeks before all this got going Mrs. Mercenary and myself decided we were done with buying water in small plastic bottles. We went to the local hardware store and got a water fountain, got the plug in model with hot or cold water. We now buy 5gallon reusable bottles and cut back on recycle by 40 or 50 percent. Anyway, currently the large bottled water display is full. And one bottle (5 gallons) lasts about a week.

But if you have bonespurs, that relieves of taking any responsibility for anything, ever.

Isn't it time to drop the term 'anti-choice' in favor of 'forced birth'?
