In that case...What if I told you that you don’t have to be involved in anyone’s abortion? Like ever?
sitenickname
AceBandito
As if there are people going "No doctor, I don't want YOUR stem cells, I want MY stem cells. I brought these from home, from my own fetus!"
TheHorseShesElbowDeepIn
The excuse is never the reason on the right. That way you haven't even touched their reason even after disproving their excuse.
MegPintDear
Cognitive dissonance.

BrazilianThunderPanda
Does that mean that abortions are ok if women just say they’re for Trumps super medicine?
IsaacNuetron
Of course it "ok"...these folk have been trying to stop any fetal research of any type for decades.

memestealer4me
That’s like PETA saying it’s okay that you’re wearing the fur coat because you personally didn’t kill the animal.
gradeD
Committing hypocrisy doesn't matter to them because their mindset stems from religion. Their savior will always forgive them personally.
Yick
Because we can all guarantee that Trump has never been involved with an abortion.

Much like pick-and-choose adventure style a lot of christians do with the bible, this does not surprise me.

“If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.” Picketing clinics is your hobby.
kojenk
THese were always just their principlies on paper. Their real priority was creating laws to stamp down women and the poor.
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
wait so now all i have to do is let someone else do the abortion and i can keep eating fetuses to maintain my youth without getting hassled?
BigTex1
Christopher Reeves? I thought you died in like 2004.

Anti abortionists are some of the worst people ever to walk this earth.

Like saying I’m vegetarian but I can eat a steak because I didn’t kill the cow.
seveneljeven
This. It’s like saying you love animals, but still eating meat because you didn’t kill them.
Jace99
Apparently. Do you know how many "vegans" have leather seats in their cars? Point it out to them, the excuses are hilarious.
Devolv3
Wait....are you saying I've always been a vegan? Holy Shit. I have so many people to tell.
airforceteacher
I’m like the greatest vegetarian then. People are saying that. Lots of people.
Youhavinagiraffe
Are they also ok with all the abortions he's paid his mistresses to have over the years?
bluerazzgummy
So...... they are just admitting they aren’t pro life anymore then...?
SkynetWithAPoopKnife
They were never pro life. They're just repressed and jealous and think sex should be something you get punished for having

It's so disappointing. I have yet to meet a Trump supporter who actually reads his Twitter feed. Blind ignorance is what follows him

Hasn't this always been the traditional conservative stance on abortion? The "Good Conservative" pressures his "little plaything" to get >

Responsibility for your actions. I guess you only have to take responsibility if you're dating. 2)
Thelrishlnquistion
It was inevitable. Hypocritical scumbags.
kojenk
We already knew what they were, this just adds further confirmation.
kojenk
Their priority was always just passing laws which crushed women. So accepting this is not an issue to them.
Thelrishlnquistion
That’s always been their goal.
steerAwwPrincess
Catholics and Evangelicals are hypocrites.
elect86
I agree, but not all of them

Hypercritical bastards
Gosuamakenatek
Hypercritical when it comes to everyone else's actions, hypocritical when it comes to their own.
palmo
It's not critical as in criticism it's critical as in critical thinking. That's why it's hypo(low).
Hammertulski
HEPAcritical because their stupidity has no filter.

Both really.

Wonder what their stance would’ve been if it were Biden?

It would have been 48 hours of hellfire and damnation on right-wing hate media, naturellement
NatesSauceLab
The lack of scientific understanding behind this post, and supporting it, is really troubling.
dunnojustletmein
Given your other two comments here the same could be said about yourself.
friendsofsandwiches
Aren't these the same women who, when they have a pregnancy they don't want, they go to the very abortion clinic they protest in front of?
LordHosk
And generally get pissed off at, and verbally abusive of, the doctors and nurses in the clinics they are at for performing abortions.
busterkittwhistle3
It’s all a moral issue. There’s only one Judge and it’s not you, or me, or Trump. It’s God. Rev. Chapter 5. He’s the one standing.
friendsofsandwiches
So who reminds the women outside when they decide to sneak inside to get the deed done?
crateo
No, they travel to a different state. Then they go back to the protest.

God can't cross state lines, so he'll never know.

Science up homie. 2020 stem cells had no role here.
MyDadSaysButanesABastardGas
1970s stem cells on the other hand...
lovethecapybara
I do agree with you. But the cell line(HEK293) used for these antibodies was an old line that was derived from aborted tissues in Europe.
AtlasLongjaw
It's a cluster of delusions, one birthing another. But by delusion here I mean to equate cells with a human being, be it a fertilized egg, -
AtlasLongjaw
embryo or a cell line. The cells are building blocks and information reservoirs of the living being, and should be respected as such, but -
AtlasLongjaw
not given moral rights.
kevinbaken
Wait...so their stance is now it's ok as long as you weren't personally involved in said abortion?
HumbabaEpic2
It’s almost like they’re saying (now stay with me here) if they’re against abortion (wait for it) then they just shouldn’t personally have 1
SuperHir0
I bet they wouldn't extend this cognitive dissonance onto anyone but Trump or themselves.

Murder is never okay! And to advocate is evil.

There stance has allways been its fine for me but not for others.

Time to use a smartphone during the abortion then...

Man oh man dat zou de pieten discussie hier gemakkelijk oplossen... +1 for world hypocrisy

"now" lol it's always been that. Karens get pregnant and sorry while telling the Drs and nurses what horrible monsters they are.
ThisUsernameIsTaken123
At this point, who the fuck knows. They are so twisted up in their own 'logic'
ElroydIsGone
I mean, they are used to pressuring their "little playthings" to get it removed, so they have lots of practice with this hypocrisy...
UrinalCarrier
As a non-american, the topics that are the centre of public debate in the US seem as if from another dimension...
drakewarnock
They're SO close to the point.
ThomasGersky
So vegans can eat meat cause they didn't directly slaughter the animal?
SlappedStupid
Vegans can eat meat, they just choose not to. It's not quite the same as telling somebody else what they are allowed to do.
Ngherappa
You should google an article called "the only righteous abortion". Many of these people are nuts.
Stefnos
it's okey to use aborted fetuses, aslong as you werent the one getting the abortion.....
ArdentSlacker
They only care about controlling women, and he's not one.
Holte
Is that what they really think or are they just going with what some paid shill/grifter said?
TechnicallyRight
So research is ok?
slimjimtimmytim
Just President Trump. If you do it it’s not ok
billyrayvalentine
They don't even know because the only thing they really believe in is controlling others. Plain and simple.
00110001001001111010000110110110011
They don’t give a shit about the aborted fetuses. It’s all about controlling women and keeping people from having sex
apeshigh
Now thats presumptuous, it was ok for Trump and only Trump..... well maybe its OK for them if they need it, but as a rule, no its not OK...
balasjones
Thats always been my stance. I find abortion abhorrent but I'm still pro choice because people have the right to make their own life choices
balasjones
Its not my job or governments job to tell you how to live your life. Your all grown ass men and women. Make your choices and live em lol
JustAnotherVictimOfAmbientMorality
Well, some of those people have actually _had_ abortions. It's mainly other people's abortions they are against.
daisymyrt
You can’t get through to these people. Tin pail on head banging into wall. Ooof. Repeat. Ooof.
LerryV2
Its kinda like PETA being ok with using insulin, even though it was developed by testing on dogs. But animal testing is bad.
photog
Well I have not been involved with any abortion ever so we can now rest on the issue.
Nottherealmarijuanapepsi
I know anti-abortion people who HAD fucking abortions (notice plural) while being anti-abortion. They think it’s different for them because
Nottherealmarijuanapepsi
They think their circumstances were dire enough to need an abortion, but that other women that get abortions just do it for no reason.
Nottherealmarijuanapepsi
It is mind-boggling.
itsahorse
No imagine Joe Biden getting this treatment. He would be flamed. It's just brainless words.
AnOceanOfStars
They never had a stance, only immeasurable retardedness.

RideTheStimutacs
Isn't that literally everyone? Does anyone go get an abortion and then demand you use their own fetus to treat them?
Truckfromthewoods
Starting to sound a lot like “I don’t agree with it but if you want to do it, go for it”
MrChurch
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Their stance is the same as the CEO of PETA using animal tested insulin. "It's ok when WE do it"
Wulfborn
Nah, it's bad unless you support them and their beliefs. Then whatever you do is ok. But it's still bad for anyone else to do it.
cheyennerrobinson1337
People who think like that don’t use logic, it’s horrifying

And if your are Trump as well

I think they just turned pro abortion... or could it be that? They never cared about the issue in an honest way? I take the latter.
Samagon
Whatever gets us to a point that "my body, my choice" is the prevailing attitude.

Always an excuse.. it’s sad
omnipotentpasta
It’s a moving target. Try and keep up.
kekoakai
No, their stance is it’s ok so long as you’re Trump.
mardukkur
They just want to attack and harass the dirty sluts, they don't give a shit about abortions.
DoEpicStuffVIVibes
But they are the same sluts.. the loudest people are usually the worst offenders
Corona688
Quite a lot of conservative christianity is about self-flagellation.

It also nicely explains the large number of conservative senators who mysteriously fall on dicks every year

"You got raped at the age of 11? Disgusting whore. I bet you were asking for it by dressing like a prostitute, no abortion for you."

They don't think they rationalize whatever their feelings tell them to.
MaliceofTheHighestDegree
They don't think.
Sesquey
The mental gymnastics are dizzying.
TheFactivist
Not sure if it’s rationalization as much as it is Olympian level mental gymnastics.
ReaperCDN
That's what rationalizing means. Attempt to explain using some form of logic, even if it's not true.
TheFactivist
I guess my point is that they’re incapable of using logic.
theangryjanitor
Baked the logic right into this one! +1

That's fair!
