    If you listened to the whole video they talk about not providing life savings care to the child, which is not murder. There are a ton of babies who donā€™t do well after birth and are not expected to survive long. This happens for a lot of different reasons. Withdraw of care, or moving to comfort care, is a well defined and common occurrence across the medical field. People die all the time and you can artificially preserve things like the heartbeat and breathing with machines, but you have to decide if thatā€™s what is best for the patient. Itā€™s not murder, itā€™s not ā€œpost term abortionā€ either.

      I just find the term incredibly stupid and hilarious šŸ˜… Republicans always says the dumbest shit.

      Think about it for a second;

      ā€œPost birthā€ means you are born. Right? Once you are born, you cant be aborted anymoreā€¦ it changes the whole meaning. If you are born, breathe on your own and someone kills you, its murder. Not ā€œpost-birth abortionā€ lmao. Abortion is the end of a pregnancy. No pregnancy, no abortion.

      Republicans can spin and twist this off as ā€œabortionā€ as much as they want, they arenā€™t doing a good job convincing the average Joe that abortion is wrong. Which is their goalā€¦ and everybody knows abortion is a relatively mild medicine procedure that does not involve killing anybody so why still using these stupid ass term?

        Itā€™s a tactful way to get ignorant people to vote against their own interest. I donā€™t think DeSantis is dumb, I think heā€™s power hungry.

        Just imagine how brain dead you need to be to believe this shit. And now remember that they vote.

        Listen, I used to be like you. I used to be confident that most people were smarter than shit like the idea of ā€œpost birth abortion.ā€ You know what shattered that faith? The election in 2016. While it might be true that the majority of people arenā€™t that dumb, it doesnā€™t matter; it only takes *just enough *knuckleheads that eat up the shit like DeSantis is spreading to fuck us all.

        There are enough people that will believe ā€œpost birth abortionsā€ are happening - just like there were enough that believed (and STILL believe!) the election was stolen - simply because DeSantis said so, to be a considerable threat to our democracy.

        The saying ā€œnever underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbersā€ is more apropos than ever these days.
