"Post-birth abortion" 💀💀
Bro that's called murder 😅 why do they try so much to associate abortion with murder? It never worked and never will. Nobody is as dumb as they are. It's like they are trying to convince you to become stupid and forget reason because Jesus.
What in the actual fuck is wrong with conservatives nowadays? This is why this ideology is dying. And the more it dies, the more radicalized they become
Why isn't the interviewer calling out his bullshit to his face? This is how you get the lowest common denominator to believe this garbage.
Because CNN got shifted towards the right for a while. I know there's been leadership change at CNN relatively recently, but I don't know if that leadership is making any changes on that front, or if any attempted changes are having an effect.
He’s pushing it further to the right, as Can be expected from a billionaire.
It's the bullshit myth of "impartiality" that most journalists buy into.
They think they need to just "let the candidate speak for themselves" unless it's a left leaning candidate, and then they either;
A, Ignore the candidate completely,
B, Tear into the candidate on made up metrics like "electability" despite how popular the candidate actually is.More has been written on this subject, but this is a good one.
It’s cuz the people who own media companies love republican policies and candidates no matter how “left-leaning” they allow their outlets to present as. An actual left-wing news station would tear desantis apart but they don’t exist because of media concentration.
💀
Because he's not a journalist, he's a content creator. He gets paid for views, not for accurate reporting
They’re tying to attract some of FOX’s disaffected viewership.
If you listened to the whole video they talk about not providing life savings care to the child, which is not murder. There are a ton of babies who don't do well after birth and are not expected to survive long. This happens for a lot of different reasons. Withdraw of care, or moving to comfort care, is a well defined and common occurrence across the medical field. People die all the time and you can artificially preserve things like the heartbeat and breathing with machines, but you have to decide if that's what is best for the patient.
I just find the term incredibly stupid and hilarious 😅 Republicans always says the dumbest shit.
Think about it for a second;
"Post birth" means you are born. Right? Once you are born, you cant be aborted anymore... it changes the whole meaning. If you are born, breathe on your own and someone kills you, its murder. Not "post-birth abortion" lmao. Abortion is the end of a pregnancy. No pregnancy, no abortion.
Republicans can spin and twist this off as "abortion" as much as they want, they aren't doing a good job convincing the average Joe that abortion is wrong. Which is their goal... and everybody knows abortion is a relatively mild medicine procedure that does not involve killing anybody so why still using these stupid ass term?
It's a tactful way to get ignorant people to vote against their own interest. I don't think DeSantis is dumb, I think he's power hungry.
Just imagine how brain dead you need to be to believe this shit. And now remember that they vote.

Listen, I used to be like you. I used to be confident that most people were smarter than shit like the idea of “post birth abortion.” You know what shattered that faith? The election in 2016. While it might be true that the majority of people aren’t that dumb, it doesn’t matter; it only takes *just enough *knuckleheads that eat up the shit like DeSantis is spreading to fuck us all.
There are enough people that will believe “post birth abortions” are happening - just like there were enough that believed (and STILL believe!) the election was stolen - simply because DeSantis said so, to be a considerable threat to our democracy.
The saying “never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers” is more apropos than ever these days.
Because it did work. It worked well enough that January 6th happened, and the 2016 election. It worked well enough that Florida consistently looks like Florida and votes like Florida, generation after generation.
Conservatives have always been the most hated people, and for good reason. Their philosophies have long been used to justify crusades, genocide, racism, nationalism, and outrages of all kinds. Most of all, their attitude has always been "anyone who disagrees with me is a terrorist/rabid dog and needs to be put down for the good of humanity."
So the parties are thus.
One party doesn't want to pay taxes. The other wants them to pay way more than they are.
There aren't enough rich people to win elections so they have to fool a lot of dumb fucks to "win".
Who are these gullible idiots that will vote against their own interests?
The religious, racists, redneck, rubes. This is the republican party.
Over time all these vile mother fuckers found themselves on one side of the political spectrum and shit gets crazy.
You are here.
People are saying our only option to prevent run away climate change is no-age-limit post-term abortion.
Gotta let them know the US system performs post-birth abortions all the time and that DeSantis endorses it.
It's an oxymoron. You can't abort a pregnancy that ended in birth. I'm sure he's trying to imply murder, but it's just stupidity spilling out of his mouth.
Wild animals are most dangerous when cornered and in their death throes.
