When was this? A lot of these posts from the last decade are resurfacing now (for obvious reasons)
Looks like Oct. 18, 2022 according to the source article listed elsewhere in the comments.
Bet you she still voted Trump this year
So she got what she voted for? I don’t see an issue
Oh my god the end of that article is brutal… Yes, leopards eating faces and all, but holy shit that response was heartless
Being heartless is a basic requirement for being Republican.
People who voted for the Leopard Eating People’s Paces party suddenly shocked when the leopard eats their face.
And sadly, most won’t learn that lesson.
Leopard Eating People’s Paces
I just pictured a leopard that would pounce on people’s footprints and eat those. Like dirt and all, I loled.
“Actually I like having my face eaten.”
Jaguar problem?
Nice watermark
“Farmer” and “White”. Name a more American duo
Hey, Gary Farmer is a national treasure, and he was Native American!
Edit: Ah shit my bad, he’s Canadian. Still North America…
“Things that really should not be run for profit” and “running them for profit anyway because socialism bad”
Guns and Ammo.
Hotdogs and beer?
ETA: I’ll take the downvotes on this one. Shower your disapproval. Fuck this lady and her leopard eaten face.
I don’t really feel happy for anybody in this case. Everybody loses. We can only hope that this person learned their lesson.
Absolutely agreed - her situation is a shit one, and I hope she learned her lesson. She chose her journey, though, in the face of all the contrary evidence.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
If she waited it out, she and the fetus could suffer tremendously. “The thing [a doctor] said was, ‘There are things worse than death, and I have seen it,’” Farmer recounted.
Damn. Feels like it could be a good quote to oppose anti-abortion.
The Only Moral Abortion is My Own.
Kristen Bell; she and her, now husband, Dax Woods made one of my favorite movies. Hit and Run. It’s a car chase and road trip movie that is also left wing. Mostly a guy’s movie, but homosexuality is dealt with grace and humor. It’s really funny and smart. My fifteen year old son loved it. Positive masculinity is shown.
I love that they referred her to an anti-abortion crisis center, because there’s a 99% chance they’ll just tell her the same “pro-life” garbage she’s been spewing and send her ass home.
Remember, God makes no mistakes 🤗
I really do hate myself for a lack of sympathy in this situation, but these people need to experience what they’re doing to everyone else.
What’s sad is that people who agree with her won’t see the threat to her life as a valid reason either. They don’t know her so they don’t care for her. They’ll lump her in with the people they torment outside of Planned Parenthood regularly.
Just another woman who spread her legs and is too cowardly to accept the will of god.
I’ll be honest, I’m burned out. I need a break from morons and their stories. I really do.

You need to stop going out of your way to doomscroll on social media, then. It’s ultimately entirely in your power to not be exposed to them.
I’m being serious. It’s not good for you–social media makes it extremely easy to be exposed to negativity 24/7 if you’re looking for it, since you’re 1 person in a world of over 8 billion. You don’t have to get even close to 1% of the people being assholes, for this to be not only possible, but trivially easy.
The human psyche is literally not designed to withstand the kind of barrage technology has made possible. Please do not feel guilty about giving yourself a break at times, to say the very least.
Thanks for this (I’m not the op). While I tend to agree that doomscrolling doesn’t help my mental health, I’m not sure how to square burying my head in the sand vs not paying attention to the crazy shit going on.
I don’t expect an answer or anything, just venting. I feel powerless and my taxes are apparently going to fund a concentration camp.

I’ve given up on being sympathetic for people who actively try to put these things in place. Like, I’m just jaded now. You voted for this. Congratulations, if this is fatal for your stupid decisions, that’s on you. I’m sympathetic to the people with brains who knew this would happen, those people get my sympathy and caring.
I felt similar about people asking for the vaccine right before they went on the ventilator. Something like 3m people in the US died from Covid.
It’s been estimated that there were at least 232k preventable deaths because people didn’t get vaccinated. That doesn’t include people who suffered permanent damage or long-COVID.
Don’t feel bad. Everyone has limits. At some point you have to worry about yourself and those around you.
I have accepted that two things can be trust at once: I can be sad for her and amused at the leopard eating her face. I have no problem containing both of those emotions at the same time without hating myself one ounce.

She is the leopard eating her face. I see no reason to be sad. She is dying for her beliefs, a martyr.
It wasn’t part of her plan but (her) God chose her for this. We should she be happy. She should be happy. This is (her) God’s will.
I’m not sad for her, but more for the brutal response she got at the end of the article. That’s how they treat everyone that comes to them with issues like that.
She wanted that too.
Not for herself, of course, but anyone else.
Sometimes people have to get hurt before they learn a lesson.
Sometimes that won’t even work. Maybe just a little cognitive dissonance.
Classic FAFO
Privileged people do get an exception - they can afford to fly to another state for an abortion.
People like this think they’re part of the in group because they’re white or christian, but the only war is class war. To our rulers we’re all the enemy.
My fucking Trumpy brother in law has this attitude. He lives in the south, votes for Trump, and has a wife, two daughters, and a son. His wife has had a couple of complicated pregnancies that, had they happened now in the place they currently live, could well have resulted in her death. His attitude when asked ‘what if one of your daughters gets raped?’ is to say he can just fly her somewhere else to get an abortion, because he has money. Fuck you, dude.
Yeah, if you can get a MAGAt to be honest with you, at some point, the core of what they want comes down to, “I support Trump because I want people who are different than me to have more misery in their life than I do.”
If that means taking on some extra misery themselves, be so be it, as long as it’s even worse for them.
It’s a sad type of cruelty.
These are people who don’t want rights, they want privileges. They don’t want equality, they want hierarchy. They can’t say “gimme gimme”, they say “take America back”.
From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.
This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?
There’s a reason they’re so threatened by words like equity and inclusion. When the culture of your ancestors was based on exclusionary hierarchies it can be very hard to embrace all people as equal, even if that is a fabled part of the American ethos (on paper, not in practice).
All animals are equal but some are more equal.
Two legs good, four legs bad.
Edit: actually think I got that backwards.
Four legs good, two legs bad. And if I remember correctly, there was an amendment for ducks/chickens/etc to be good. Haven’t read that book in like 35 years.
Lol where do geese stand?
Right between me and the goddamn tree I want to read under.
Wherever the fuck they want.
This made me laugh a bit harder than expected lol, you’re absolutely right.
I’m putting that first line in my pocket and gonna use it often. Thanks
I remember the hilarious part where they all campaigned for years on “repealing Obamacare”. Then they had House and Senate majorities + the Presidency, and guess what didn’t get repealed?
It was like that silly video where a dog is barking viciously at another dog, looks super serious and mean, and then the barrier between them is removed and they both act real cool immediately. Then, barrier back in, vicious barking again…

For a while, there were a surprising amount of people who wanted to repeal Obamacare, but keep the Affordable Care Act.
Letting it be called Obamacare was probably a misstep for his administration. It’d likely be less disliked if it wasn’t tied to his name, and they went with something like “Americare: Because America Cares for you”.
Republicans are the ones that nicknamed it that, to try to make their supporters hate it as much as a Black man, even if it hurts them.
2016 - It will be so easy, it’s the worst law in history. We’re going to repeal and replace it in the first week.
2024 - I have concepts of a plan.
How fucking dumb is half the country… At least that fucking dumb.
Really really fucking dumb.
So dumb I can’t help but wonder where I’m that blind
I like to think that they’re all just non-voting leftists - it helps get me through the day.
Many states put a bounty on anyone found to be helping someone travel out of state to get an abortion.
States specifically target liberal groups for harassment and penalty. Conservative physicians will be ignored.
The point of these witch hunts is to torment opposition groups.
It’s two birds with one stone…
I know Texas does this, but do other states?
Texas also has many local abortion travel bans so you can be punished for using their roads while going to the other states if you can’t afford to fly over them.
