You will not be surprised that the fetus is not doing well. But antis want to prop up the myth that the woman is just a "vessel," so they ignore that a dying woman isn't in the position to bring forth another life.
"The family of a 30-year-old metro Atlanta mother and nurse said she was declared brain dead more than 90 days ago — but is still being kept alive because she’s pregnant...Her medical team is legally required [by Georgia's abortion ban] to maintain life support until the fetus reaches viability."

RFK is insane. Trump is a thief who covers his escape with clouds of hate, racism, transphobia, misogyny.

There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.

Fucking liars are going to fucking lie.
CNBC: If a company were to say we're raising prices because of tariffs, is that a hostile act?

LUTNICK: I think if you go out of your way to try to make it seem like your price has changed when it's nonsense. A 10% tariff is not going to change virtually any price.

I saw a post today in favor of #defunding the police and #abolition. I'm for total reform of the police. But defunding and abolition are dead pieces of rhetoric that will only help the fascists maintain power. The advocates don't mean no police, no prisons; so they have to drop the words.

People didn't vote for Trump because of ignorance. They voted for him because of prejudice against immigrants and the poor. Many of them are poor themselves.
