"But as an outright lie, I’m not clear on how it works in their favor. I guess they just don’t care so much about the lives of born humans and are just willing to risk a few of them on the off chance that it could work."

It also bolsters their narrative that many women who decide to get an abortion regret it immediately. It's all bullshit, along with the non-existent procedure, and you're right, they don't care if they kill a couple women in the process. They literally couldn't care less what happens to the woman at any stage of a pregnancy.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but they also are adoption agencies. If you want to keep your baby, you will probably experience a lot of pushback. You wouldn't be in a Pregnancy Crisis Center if you were a fit mother.

Ta, Robyn. I can't decide if these people (I use the term loosely) are predators or parasites.

Or why not both?

I kind of wonder if this is all PSYOPS. Like, they're trying to establish the narrative that lots of women regret their abortions and apparently don't think too hard about deciding to get a medication abortion. So, if you're pregnant and considering an abortion, you see this dumb lie and think, "oh no, what if I immediately regret getting the abortion which is apparently a common thing?"

When in reality, the vast majority of women don't regret their abortions and are confident about the decision in the moment.

What concerns me are the abusers who will hear about this "treatment" and decide it's okay to take their pregnant partner/daughter/sister/roommate's second lot of pills and flush it down the toilet. It's not just pregnant people influencing pregnant people's health, unfortunately.

This is what I think it is about too. It supports their bullshit narrative that many women regret their abortions.

"Admittedly, I have never been able to fully grasp why this is a thing for anti-abortion folks. If it were true, sure! I’d get it! That would make sense for them, because they want more babies. But as an outright lie, I’m not clear on how it works in their favor."

My theory is that it works in their favor by nearly ( or actually ) killing women who have taken mifepristone, so that they can then fear-monger by claiming, "Look how dangerous those horrible drugs are! Nobody should be allowed to take them!!"

Because what I've seen of their behavior suggests many of them would embrace such a tactic enthusiastically if it occurred to them.

Pushing this unproven, dangerous treatment will punish women for attempting an abortion. Never forget that the religious right is extremely cruel.

>The patient is given progesterone

So "gender affirming care," except we don't call it that when a cis person takes it. I wonder if I can get free progesterone and waste these scammers' time simultaneously?

Letitia is already endorsing the Trans Agenda by being female while having a last name commonly scene as masculine. Good to see her also promote the Reproductive Rights Agenda.

“And then I asked him if it was supposed to be that soft. Hahahaha! But seriously….”

People who lie to me always do it for my own good! I am so grateful that they care about me that much because making my own decisions might be harmful to my well-being!! 😜

These zealots are the worst. I sometimes wish God was real, because there's nothing I'd love more for them to find out direct from a higher authority that they are the worst.

Sadly, no god, so no old testament smiting.

All they need to do is claim “Jesus wants this” and all will be forgiven.

You can get away with anything as long as you use Christianity as an excuse.

Letitia James is awesome and again it matters who you have in office.

I voted for her because she said she would prosecute Donald Trump and she did.

Guys! Stop & think! What Stormy Daniels does for a living is write, produce and act in dirty movies. You couldn’t ask for a better narrator.

LMAO! This from the network that hosted Hunter Biden revenge porn on their website.

If Trump had any sense he would have left Stormy Daniels alone. I would think having sex with a porn actress would be like cooking for a Michelin star chef, you have to put in the work to impress them. Trump strikes me as not the type to do that.

“What is all this porn doing in the testimony of a porn star that Trump had sex with?”

Buckle up buttercup. We're in for some turbulence.

The other benefit of Murc's Law (in that Democrats are the only ones with political agency) is that it's also fine to do anything you want to a Democrat or their family (such as Hunter and Ashley Biden).

Gurl, PLEASE. This is all old news and you know that perfectly well. You can put away the fainting couch.

Yes. But. Until porn actress Stormy Daniels took the stand and started describing the hotel room, I. E., “the set,” in meticulous detail, thereby demonstrating her talent for attention to details, you had no conception of how lurid, and vivid, and thorough her testimony was going to be.

Expand full comment

Some people say that her going into detail like she did was a bad thing. But if I'm a juror and she's remembering this from 17 years ago while the defendant is saying it never happened at all I'm going to take that into account.

I will go to bed tonight having finally figured out why PAB would offer to pay $130,000, and eventually shell out $450,000 to try to keep Stormy quiet.

Expand full comment

One of the things that surprises me is PAB isn't screeching about the non comment agreement with her.

Expand full comment

He never signed it. It's totally non-binding until he did. Cheap and stupid.

I keep waiting for it to come out that part of that was a payment to another person.
