Plavatos,

This is just pro-choice with extra steps (or pro-life depending on how you look at it).

Or maybe people who are against abortion could simply choose not to have one. Ya know the way it was for like 50 years before Roe was overturned.

Of course we know they just want to impose their values on other people. So people having the freedom to be able to make choices for themselves goes against their way of thinking.

Not even just 50 years, remedies to cause an abortion or suppress menstrual cycles have been in use for hundreds of years. Just now reading about the history apparently Ben Franklin may have manufactured a public discourse on abortion because he knew it would help sell papers.

callouscomic,

No. This opens the door to laws that clearly apply based on on political affiliation. Do not open that door. It will eventually be used against you.

SpaceCowboy,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, it’s not a right unless everyone has it.

Telorand,

I agree that rights should be universal, and it’s something for which we should strive, but I disagree that it’s not a right unless it is universal. There’s plenty of awful examples throughout history of people who had certain rights while others did not.

Fades,

you’d think so, but according to modern day society, you’d be wrong

SpaceCowboy,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

Well then “modern society” is wrong. I know I’m right.

InputZero,

I hate to tell you this but the door is basically open and there’s a loud mouth running for president and his cronies who’s trying to finish the job.

IHaveTwoCows,

Why does nobody here seem to understand that her point was to decrease the number of Democrats and increase Republicans?

There is nothing to cheer about here. She isn’t pro-choice; she’s pro-death.

Haywire,

Thanks for the clarification. When I start to agree with her I begin to wonder about myself.

bemenaker,

Except it won’t have that effect.

IHaveTwoCows,

You say that like you’re surprised that Coulter would say some incredibly stupid shit because she’s a worthless attention whore who contributes nothing of value to society but still thinks she’s a celebrity

AquaTofana,

I agree. I’m very confused as to how this would result in less Democrats?

I was raised in heavyyyyy Conservative family, and the entire family, including the youngins’ now, all espouse those same beliefs. I veered hard Left only when I left home, traveled, and was exposed to people from other walks of life from my own.

I feel like this would hurt the Republicans more than anyone, because while yes, more Democrats would obviously get abortions, a lot of Democratic women DO want children/family. They’d just like to stop after two children or whatever, not end up with like 8. So it’s not like they’d be choosing to have an abortion every single time they get preggers.

And a lot of Republican women want the same thing: to have a child or two, but not 8.

Both women I’m certain want the option for it if they’ve had particularly difficult/traumatic pregnancies and still want to be around for their current children.

IHaveTwoCows,

You don’t know who Coulter is or anything about her, do you?

Are you seriously gonna sit there and try to rationalize something that an entirely worthless attention whore said in an effort to pwn the libs again?

AquaTofana,

I do, I showed my husband and I was jokingly like “How dare Ann Coulter make a point that I agree with? 😂”.

But moreover, I don’t think she’s making a rational point at all. I just don’t think the idea that this will result in less Dems either.

That may be her “ultimate goal” or whatever, but I also think it would backfire on her magnificently.

(And before anyone comes at me, I’m pro-choice 100% of the time, IRL)

SnowdenHeroOfOurTime,

Ok… when someone is wrong about the reason but right about the plan you don’t correct them

So you assume brain choices are inherited? They can be learned. But they aren’t hereditary. Plenty of people are related to people differing political opinions so I thought that would have been enough to be debunked as an assumption.

tocopherol,
@tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

You are right that you aren’t born with whatever politics, but they said that was her point, not that in practice it’s a direct thing. I’m sure it’s easier to instill Republican beliefs into someone born in a Republican family rather than Democrats or other political affiliations.

Smoogs,

They can be learned.

I don’t know who you are arguing as if that wasn’t even mentioned.

IHaveTwoCows,

Except that’s literally what she meant. She never meant “free Democrats from the edicts of the State and enforce them upon Republicans”.

2nsfw2furious,

We gonna ban guns for Democrats only, too?

keyez,

Yes however ammo is not available to anyone.

Originally said the military only but that’s terrifying

She thinks Republicanism is genetic, doesn’t she? Sigh.

designatedhacker,

She thinks Republicans are mostly WASPs. She’s right too. You forgot eugenics.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Political affiliation is not genetic. Plenty of WASPs are on the left. I mean John Fetterman is a WASP. And there are plenty of examples of people who go the opposite way politically from their parents.

tacosplease,

Protestant is the P in WASP. Is Fetterman religious?

I mean all politicians in the US have to act like they’re religious, but how many regularly go to church? Fetterman doesn’t strike me as the Church type, but maybe.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

He went to Albright College, which is a private Methodist university. Maybe he isn’t religious now, but that sure doesn’t sound like something someone who isn’t religious would do.

Wow, this got a lot darker.

ETA: I think you’re right. That’s why it took the mirth out of my mood.

Aaaah, okay. I was trying to figure out why Coulter would say this. Now it makes sense.

halowpeano,

This is also in context of the Republican effort out control education. Banning topics they don’t like, rewriting history, homeschooling, and diverting public school funds to indoctrinating “Christian” private schools.

sarcasticsunrise,

OMG… is Ann Coulter accidentally being sorta based ???

mojo,

Based on what

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

If by based you mean smashing 45% of the country into single issue voters and then using that to strip bodily autonomy based on party association… sure?

Cabrio,

Sometimes people deserve to get exactly what they want.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

Right just group everyone up into a singular blob, dehumanize them, and punish them!

Completely besides the point but👌

dojan,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

I mean if you wanted access to abortion you wouldn’t vote republican, right? They’re openly anti-women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, etc. so if you fall into any of those categories, voting republican is an odd form of self-destruction.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

Again you’re just generalizing. 40% of GOP voters support abortions in most cases. I’m also quite tired of the baseless they are racist comments. It is a progressive dog whistle.

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

So not all GOP supporters are nazis, but all nazis are GOP supporters. Stay mad, racist.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

I doubt the actual Nazis are happy with the current GOP. You’ve invented such a wonderful persona of me in your head lol. Such imagination.

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

racist

wonderful persona

Do you see the issue we’re having here?

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

Not at all. I still have no idea where you’ve invented this information about me.

YeetPics,
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

I called you a racist and you described that as a “wonderful persona”. Is this too difficult?

dojan,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Ugh, you don’t get it, do you? Their personal beliefs don’t matter if they support a party that works against them. It just goes to show that they don’t hold as strongly to the belief that women should have control over their own bodies, as they do to whatever is making them vote republican.

In the grand scheme of things, words aren’t worth anything, actions are. Stating your support for “abortions in most cases” is just words, voting for a party that will outlaw it is an action.

The best way to avoid being labelled racist is to stop being racist. Here, again, actions speak louder than words. Doesn’t matter if you scream out at the top of your lungs that you love minorities and have black friends, if you then start marching with the KKK and the proud boys.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

Again you are acting like we don’t live in a fptp voting system and just generalizing the entire base. It’s a terrible and inaccurate way to view the political spectrum. Those people mostly aren’t comically evil as most of you would believe.

dragonflyteaparty,

No, I don’t think that other poster does believe they’re comically evil, but it’s fair to say that they’re ok with outlawing abortion if they vote for someone who runs on outlawing abortion.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

No it’s not fair. 40% of them support most right to choice law.

sarcasticsunrise,

Don’t threaten me with a good time. If that’s what they, or you desire is to enforce unwanted theocracy upon the meager 55% of us (citations needed, social programs are overwhelming popular amongst voters, sorry bud) than I don’t give a flying fuck about your bad faith opinions

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

👌👍

winterayars,

She wants it for eugenics reasons.

Broken_Monitor,

Did she really post that? I just cant tell what’s real anymore

Currens_felis,

It’s times like this when I wonder if conservative media hosts are that dense or if they’re trolling everyone.

Hmm, Musk-X doesn’t even work. I can see that post, but her feed only shows out of order posts with the top one being from 2020. “Replies” gives an error. Musk sure is (literally) killing it.

mateomaui, (edited )

I think you still have to be logged in to see other posts than just the one being directly linked to. He tried requiring sign in for all access, but that screwed with embedding and google results, so they pared it back to this.

edit: just checked and now you can see more than I was expecting, so idk what’s going on. The fact that you cannot see anything on the feed past 2020 is definitely weird.

edit2: wait, no, there are tweets past 2020. Looks like all the tweets visible have 20K or more likes, so maybe they’re doing something to show the most popular ones only (out of order? wtf?)

Didn’t she step back from the brink during trumps presidency? Like…he was too crazy even for her?

21Cabbage,

I just remember the absolutely miserable comedy central roast that some jackass thought would be a good idea to invite her to.

not_that_guy05,

I mean it was a good idea. Roast the living shit out of her and pretend to be a joke. I did not see any friendly faces when they were throwing the jokes. Public humiliation.

DragonTypeWyvern,

He wasn’t too crazy for her, he was too dumb and ineffectual.

Ann Coulter is an evil Nazi Barbie, but she’s not an idiot.

frezik,

She was tied at the hip to the Bush Administration, and when the whole country turned against Bush, she wasn’t savvy enough to make the pivot like Tucker or Hannity (might be some sexism tied up in that, too). The Republican party now hates everything Bush did, and pretends they weren’t all the same people supporting him at the time. Coulter’s the one who got stuck with all the baggage, and Fox News wouldn’t have her on anymore.

Don’t shed a tear for her. She’s not worth the salt.

Coulter is also somewhat more pro-gay rights than your average Republican. She’s against gay marriage, but is more friendly with the Log Cabin Republicans than your average right wing commentator.
