They have to lie about stuff that they find bad meaning that in reality that stuff isn't actually bad but they just want people to believe that it is bad.

That's what propaganda is for isn't it?

Well, I'd be happy if fewer abortions needed to be performed. Let's talk about sex education in schools and readily available birth control instead. God forbid, any right winger wants to get into those areas to help prevent abortions.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is being hauled to court, because he decided he likes "unborn child" better than "fetus" in the Attorney General-approved language for the summary explanation of the constitutional amendment that will be on the November ballot.

Abortion is health care. Contraception is health care. Why are these morons against women (and other persons who can become pregnant) having medical care when they need it?

Because they want to punish people for having sex.

No, they want to punish WOMEN for having sex.

The bed pan fetus story appeals to rightwingers because they like to imagine that a zygote is a tiny, fully formed human at the moment of conception. They imagine a fetus dodging the suction like Neo dodging bullets. “Penny” was just a particularly nimble one to survive multiple abortions.

"In Texas, a fetus is a person, except in cases involving malpractice, in which case it magically goes back to being just a fetus." I believe corporations also have similar personhood capabilities.

Corporations are always people, my friend. Just try to interfere with a corporation’s god-given right to make a buck in Texas and see how fast you’ll be slammed down by the courts.

They're afraid of "abortion on demand" because they think Abortion+ is a streaming service made by union writers and actors.
