Just to emphasize: Mike Johnson is an antivaxxer, an anti-abortion forced bither, he believes the job of poor women is to give birth to an infinite supply of low wage jobseekers, he is a climate change denier, he wants to cut Social Security + Medicare + Medicaid, and he’s a “Trump won!” Republican. And House Republicans just unanimously voted for him as Speaker of the House.
Please take note: there are no “moderates” in the Republican Party.
YaAllah, the amount of evil is truly unbearable 💔. I have no more words. I have no sympathy for anyone who is on their side or neutral. I am done reasoning and arguing with people who support them. Anyone who turns a blind eye to this will answer. Be it to God or whoever you believe in. If you are silent for whatever reason or stance you may have. Remember, this is on your hands as much as it is theirs.
You can't say you didn't know or you didn't have the full story. And you can not say your leaders didn't know. Or your favorite celebrities.

"South Carolina’s newly all-male Supreme Court reversed course on abortion Wednesday, upholding a law banning most such procedures except in the earliest weeks of pregnancy.
The continued erosion of legal abortion access across the U.S. South comes after Republican state lawmakers replaced the lone woman on the court, Justice Kaye Hearn, who reached the state’s mandatory retirement age.
The 4-1 ruling departs from the court’s own decision months earlier striking down a similar ban that the Republican-led Legislature passed in 2021. The latest ban takes effect immediately.

My post on the 100% hypocrisy of the so-called “Pro Life” movement
A Florida woman, unable to get an abortion in her state, carried to term a baby who had no kidneys.
Deborah Dorbert's son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after he was born, just as her doctors had predicted he would.
"He gasped for air a couple of times when I held him," said Dorbert, 33. "I watched my child take his first breath, and I held him as he took his last one."
She said her pregnancy was proceeding normally until November, when, at 24 weeks, an ultrasound showed that the fetus did not have kidneys and that she had hardly any amniotic fluid. Not only was the baby sure to die, her doctors told her, but the pregnancy put her at especially high risk of preeclampsia, a potentially deadly complication.
Her doctors told her it was too late to terminate the pregnancy in Florida, which bans nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. The only options were to go out of state to get an abortion or to carry the baby to full term, and Dorbert and her husband didn't have the money to travel.
What followed was an agonizing 13 weeks of carrying a baby she knew would die and worrying about her own health. It left Dorbert with severe anxiety and depression for the first time in her life.
Florida law allows abortions after 15 weeks if two doctors confirm the diagnosis of a fatal fetal abnormality in writing, but doctors in Florida and states with similar laws have been hesitant to terminate such pregnancies for fear someone will question whether the abnormality was truly fatal. The penalties for violating the law are severe: Doctors can go to prison and face heavy fines and legal fees.
in Poland continues. From Polish newspaper “Wyborcza”:
“The case of Justyna Wydrzyńska, an activist of the Abortion Dream Team, reminds us of what it means to maintain this power*** after the elections. The case of Justyna Wydrzyńska, an activist of the Abortion Dream Team, reminds us of what it means to maintain this power after the elections. She was found guilty today and convicted of helping another woman get an abortion.”
“The former partner of Anna, one of the women Justyna Wydrzynska helped three years ago (she gave her her own abortion pills), reported everything to the police. Abortion assistance is punishable by up to three years in prison. The court considered further evidence brought by the prosecutor's office and the ultra-Catholic organization Ordo Iuris, which acts as a social party in the trial (represents the interests of the unborn fetus).
Sentence: eight months of restriction of freedom through community service. The activist is to work unpaid for 30 hours a month. Her work is to be controlled. Justyna Wydrzyńska must also bear the costs of the trial”.
She will appeal, and said that she does not regret her action.
*** This power is the current ruling party PiS, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, bigoted, corrupted and Catholic Church’s ass-kissing bunch.
