    Oh, they would simply press the third button labeled “claim to be pro life, but take the drug because rules don’t apply to me.”

    Just like their pals who exclaim “think of the children!” when topics of sex ed and gender identity come up in curriculums, while they themselves think of diddling said children.

  • There’s currently a pro-life Christian influencer very publicly carrying her C-section ectopic pregnancy to term. A especially dangerous variant of the already stupid dangerous ectopic pregnancies. The embryo has literally nested in the scar tissue of her C-section. The risk of death is like 90% or something, but “she found Facebook groups with other survivors.”

    She will leave behind seven other children.

      I feel sympathy for her kids, but I can’t help but to think that if she dies, it would probably have a net positive result by both reducing the amount of pro-life media out there and being a demonstration of how utterly stupid pro-life is to demand people die for the sake of a fetus that will likely not make it to term.

    No they’ll vehemently protest against its existence while having a constant supply poured into their veins and anyone who brings it up will be labeled a librul.

    As if they would lose access to anything if it became illegal.

    Rules for thee, not for me.

    I see it extends lifespan for people with certain cancers, and also in fruit flies (who wants their fruit flies to live longer, gross little things?). But just using it to terminate pregnancy would have a statistical effect on lifespan as well, considering the appalling rate of pregnancy- and childbirth- related deaths in the US. And I’m going to add in the fact that being pregnant increases the probability of being murdered by an abusive partner or parent.

    They’ll just find a way to make sure only the top 10% richest white people can access it through a loophole
