Yes. "The future existence of your rapist's child outweighs your rights to control your own body" is not the subtext of what Vance is saying, that is *explicitly* what Vance is saying, it is the argument he is choosing to make his point. bsky.app/profile/heid...

“Inconvenient” is the most dismissive, deliberately understated way to describe the horror of being pregnant via rape and denied a choice about it. Like, more power to you if you’ve chosen to carry to term under those circumstances, but it has to be a choice or else it’s actual torture.

It used to be that the Republican Party was a party that merely tolerated rapists and pedophiles, now it's party run by and for rapists and pedophiles bsky.app/profile/watt...

Also, it's silly to consider a woman's rights in this or any situation.

It's really a Christian Supremacist view. "My god chose for you to be raped to have this baby. Your rape and this pregnancy is my god's plan for you." Horrendously cruel.

I wonder how do-able it would be to get a fleet of ice cream trucks to drive around toss-up areas, just playing quotes like this on loop. 🤬

I don't think reactionaries understand how dangerous pregnancy and childbirth are under the best circumstances. I would say that they don't care about these dangers, but they are extremely ignorant of all biological processes.

When your position is that rape is not an adequate rationale for an abortion but your running mate is Donald J Trump you have to ask yourself if you're just pro rapist

Yes. It’s amazing that he even prefaces “inconvenient” with *somehow*, like it’s not clear to Vance that it’s truly even an “inconvenient” situation. Which makes sense if the extent to which the woman matters is precisely zero.
