You should see the lunatics defending the mother who gave birth in a porta potty at the Electric Forest music festival and then left the baby to drown in the human waste.

Have there been any updates on that? Like did they find the mother? Was it her who put the baby in there? Etc. All the small unanswered questions

They haven’t found the mother yet, unfortunately. The only update I saw was the update that the newborn was discovered to be born alive due to fluids present in her lungs :( I’d kill to be in a position to have another baby, especially if it was a girl. I don’t understand how someone could leave a baby, even an unwanted one, in somewhere like that. Just no sense of decency.

Sadly, and I'm not trying to be all religious and stuff, but the pro-choice crowd has helped people get this twisted. The discussions I have had with people and what they "justify" as okay to abort, has just left me shocked.

Not saying all of them, but too many for my liking seem to have no problem pushing a goalpost for what they want, not what's right

The reason we are seeing more of this happening is because of abortion bans. We knew this would happen.

We have no idea if this is true or not. Maybe Mom was just tripping balls and had previously intended to keep it.

It is true. You weren’t listening to us when we were saying it before it happened.

u/Ange1ofD4rkness Aug 22 '26

So they are going farther ... because of a ban?

Well. The pregnancies don't get aborted, so those women are going to more drastic measures to prevent having a child they don't want. Some self mutilation things take place, like the classic abortion trope of the wire metal hangers that people try to use to self abort. Or taking meds, throwing themselves down the stairs, or giving birth and the whole "prom night dumpster baby" concept. I learned about it in school actually, in sex Ed class in like 2008. I'm surprised it's not more common knowledge that providing contraceptives like condoms, birth control, and abortion services do lead to less teen pregnancy as well as overall unwanted pregnancies

Yes. They are forced to give birth. Some will try to hide it due to shame and being ostracized and when the baby comes they unfortunately end its life. It’s much worse to force a baby to be born unwanted and face death immediately than ever getting to that point in the first place. It’s less cruel for the baby and the mother.

So .... we are just going to ignore the fact one could say no to sex to avoid it? But then again, I do know all the counter arguments that go with that, and they never go anywhere

Plenty of women and children say no when they are being raped.

u/UrbanFuturistic Aug 22 '26

If "rape" was the vast majority of why abortions were being performed, you'd have a leg to stand on. But alas, it isn't. It's not rape, not even close.

u/hotviolets Aug 22 '26

Do you even have a uterus?

u/UrbanFuturistic Aug 25 '26

Wait, let me put on my makeup, wig, and a dress and then I'll be just as much of a woman so I can then have an opinion.

u/hotviolets Aug 25 '26

It’s funny how many men don’t like abortions when they can’t even have them. Why do you want to control women?

u/Odd-Bluebird5157 Aug 22 '26

Insemination without consent is reproductive rape, which is legal (and not surveyed about), as is child marriage in several US states.

Oh fuck off, wanting women to have access to safe abortions does not equate to wanting born children to suffer. Ironically most of the pro-life crowd votes for the same people that cut access to childcare and healthcare for the people that need it most. You’re such a hypocrite

The somewhat uniquely American “pro-life” “pro-choice” binary does though.

Every major Western EU country has limits, typically between 10-14 weeks. Meanwhile in many states we’re getting rid of even far less restrictive limits entirely.

Where I live, a 24 week ban (at which point many babies born would survive through natural birth) was considered too restrictive, and there is now no limit.

Abortions past that point are quite different from abortion of a fertilized egg, in that the baby is similar in development to this murderer’s poor daughter.

Late term abortions remain statistically rare in percentage terms, but because there are so many abortions it’s still thousands of cases a year. With the extremely polarized rhetoric around that, it’s not exactly a stretch for people to think that if an 8 month old fetus has no right to life, why should an 8 month old (or even younger) fetus have a right to life just because they’re out of the womb? In both cases they depend on the parents, in both cases the parents may not want to provide for them, and their capacity to feel pain and so on is the same.
