Ted Rall for April 21, 2023

The first and the last ones are … unfortunately realistic. The other two cannot be mentioned by Republicans because… they’re not REAL*

*  For a particularly Republican definition of “real”

The ‘trans’ option is brilliant, Ted! Sadly realistic, but very clever!

Republicans wouldn’t approve any of those , except maybe the ones by bullet. But they don’t really care how many abortions are committed.

Once again: The point of banning abortions is NOT to reduce their number. Contraceptives, sex education, access to health care and other efforts, would accomplish that.

That is NOT the objective.

The objective is to PUNISH SINNERS, women sinners, and especially poor women sinners. (of course, being poor shows that they are not in God’s graces and are therefore sinners anyway)

.

And does ANYONE believe that once abortions are made illegal, that they will not be available to Republican legislators?

They care about “human lives” the same way they care about any making life better

The guys that helped create the problem are also sinners.

Like I said, your flights of fancy frequently attain unfathomable speeds.

It isn’t about pro-life, it is about forced birth. The reich couldn’t care less about the ACTUAL baby. They just want to take control of women’s lives and bodies. If it kills the mother, or the baby dies of poverty or violence, they’ll still go home feeling smug about how they made the woman do what they wanted.

Like the religious fanatic Christians they proclaim to be……

Wonder how the GOP will handle, dealing with their own laws?

Shadowy runs to the back-door-allys to fix what went wrong!

Do as we say…not as we do!

the real question is; Is anything that is illegal made available to legislators w/o fear of prosecution?

This has a few exaggerations for today, but Ted is spot on with this one. One never knows about tomorrow. And as such we should not stop fighting to restore (and expand) Roe. Some Rs want to go even further and bring back the Comstock Laws.

Our nation was beget of violence and unlike the rest of the First World, we have continued to hold on tight to that value. We will only begin to change, when we first address our true history and our real nature.

I kinda do hope that the republicon court does allow one fanatic right wing male judge from texas to ban the “abortion pill” for every woman in the country. After the reaction to Roe v Wade being struck down this might bring even more women onto the Dems side for the next election. As long as the repugs want to keep shooting themselves in the foot over women’s health care we might have a shot at preserving our country from the fascist wanna be dictators of the trumplican party.

It’s about subjugating women. Shame them morally. Body shame them as well. How else are you going to make them accept 70 cents on the dollar for their work?

Wasn’t Bush heading to Mexico to get his girlfriend an abortion when he was pulled over by a Texas Ranger?

I could really see panel three the way things are headed

What? No they-do-it-too whataboutism? Who is filling in for Ted Rall today, some da**ed Democrat?

By cop, there is no evidence that cops are hunting people that are not committing crimes.By climate change is moot, since there is no such thing.By trans-nonsense, irrelevant since there is no way to know it.By mass shooting, only Democrats allow mass shooting by forbidding lawful people from owning guns.

But then they’ll also charge you with murder

Repugs would absolutely endorse the “trans” exception, ’cause that would cut down on those terrifying deviates. The other options are just fine, ’cause, you know, circle of life.

Doubt the trans gender reason, mainly because many US conservatives continue to hold on to the notion that being gay is a choice, so it follows that being trans would also be, so how could the unborn baby be non-binary? To be frank, trans rights advocates don’t help matters by talking about “gender fluidity”, indicating that gender is a choice.
