  1. In Florida, like here in Texas, fetuses are more important than children.

  2. “Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.”

    ― George Carlin

  3. Those “pro life” folks don’t seem to even want to try to live up to the name they gave themselves.

  4. If kids want healthcare, they can get a job.

    /s

  5. The party of “get those babies here, after that fuck em” shows us why they’re not the actually “pro life”.

    Has anyone tried explaining to republicans that life actually involves living?

  6. This is exactly who he is – his agenda is more important than human beings. Almost every single policy he has put in place does more damage than good. He is truly a fascist narcissist which is a bad combination.

  7. Sadism is one of the four ‘dark tetrad’ traits ideologically most commonly found in conservatives. When you learn what those traits are and look at some of the inexplicably cruel things conservatives do, it all makes horrible sense.

  8. This headline really frames this as a by-product of poorly thought out politics. In actuality, the law is working as intended. This isn’t an accident that suddenly strips children’s healthcare.

    We’re intentionally engineering a society with an underclass by forcing children born into poverty into conditions that enforce hereditary poverty. Children aren’t supposed to be working. Why should their healthcare be subject to means testing (of their parents)?

  9. Same shit again, we’ll force you to have kids, and when they get her ? Fuck you. Most all southern states refused the Biden money to help feed hungry children in schools. Go south !!! Keep fuckin your people the way you always have.

  10. I don’t think anyone in florida would really give a shit if Duhsantis were to take a walk in the swamps here and just disappear.

  11. The Fetus Fetish crowd lose interest in the kids when they are born like pedophiles losing interest when the kids hit puberty

  12. Please vote!! If you’re not registered go to https://vote.gov/ to do so and or check if you’re already registered and many other topics related to this election season!

  13. On brand for republicans. Pro-life for a fetus. After that you are issued a pair of tiny bootstraps. Cruelty is the point.
