We have all heard about Kate Cox’s ordeal in trying to get an abortion due to the fetus she is carrying having trisomy 18 which is a terrible disease where, even if the fetus is born alive, it would only live for a few days at the very most and in incredible pain. It was revealed the fetus already has numerous defects of various organ systems, so it would have been unlikely the fetus would have been born alive.
This diary is not going to be about that. Rather, I want to write about all the fucking cowards who refuse to answer or ask probing questions on why they believe attempting to either kill a person or possibly prevent them from ever becoming pregnant again is acceptable in modern society.
Coward #1: John Cornyn. This asshat claimed when asked by a reporter what he thought about forcing Mrs. Cox to carry a most likely nonviable fetus to term with the potential to kill her or make her infertile. His answer, “It’s a state matter and I am a US Senator.” (paraphrase) which he gave both times the question was asked. Fuck you, John. You helped create this environment. You should have to answer for the senseless death/murder being perpetuated by your colleagues whom you wholeheartedly support.
Coward #2. Rafael “Cancun, Lyin’ Ted” Cruz. This disgusting waste of space repeatedly answered “call my press office” when confronted with questions regarding Mrs. Cox’s potential infertility or death. Even when the NBC reporter said she had called his press office and did not hear back from them, like the broken robot he is, Mr. “Cancun” repeated his ridiculous answer. Such a leading light of the mass death movement he is.
Coward #3: Random Fox propagandist who was interviewing Gov “Death” Greg Abbott. This Cowardly Lion spent an entire interview segment with Gov Death without once asking any question related to how he feels about subjecting another one of his constituents with their potential death sentence or, at best, becoming infertile. Gotta keep the masses in the dark because maybe, just maybe, one of the siloed viewers watching might actually turn against these miserable excuses of human beings.
Finally, I really wonder what it will take for people who vote for mass death of their fellow Americans to wake up and turn against the people who are perpetuating this destruction. We already know there are majorities who support abortion rights around the country as we see in votes whenever these proposals are on the ballot. Yet time and again, the forced birthers are re-elected over and over. It boggles my mind the cognitive dissidence of these people.
