"The greatest healing agent," says the rape enabler.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I'll bet he thinks forced marriage to said rapist is a Great Healing Agent too. (He's never advocated this as far as I know, and I'm not trying to put words in his mouth. But c'mon, we gotta Bring Back the Nuclear Family, no?)

That's a good way to drive people to kill themselves.

[–] traline@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I'm not one to ad-hom but I mean look at the guy..

[–] moon@lemmy.cafe 8 points 8 months ago

Would a rapist not take this as encouragement? Would this not make women feel incredibly unsafe? Why do men have no equivalent laws that restrict what they can do with their own body?

[–] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

what do you expect. missouri republicans see women as brood mares, and brood mares aren't people.

I'm this close to expecting them to call women "fee males".

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Republicans should do a Jonestown to protect the children. Far more effective than whatever it is they are doing now.

This is how you get increased suicides and abandoned infants.

The problem is (a) Republicans don't care if the issue isn't their own, and (b) Republicans seem to lack the capacity for identifying systemic failures. It's like an object-permanence thing with them. If they can't physically see the thing happening directly with their two eyes, then there is no relation. Like they're blind to negative externalities or indirect side-effects. at the macro level.

In other words... There's a reason these folks don't normally make great engineers or scientists.

This guy looks like a rapist. Why do they all look like that?

Force him to have a baby. He'll change his tune as its ripping his urethra. I hope this awaits each of these bastards if hell were spiritual instead of physically on this Earth.

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

So's flushing these fucking GOP turds down the toilet.

Them not existing anymore would heal the fuck out of me.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is EXACTLY what Republicans mean when they say they're HARD on Rapists! After a Rapist Rapes your daughter it's illegal for her to get an Abortion and if she does her Rapist gets a bunch of money from her!

[–] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

how ironic, if a man rapes a woman she's forced to have the baby and he goes to jail. but if a man rapes HIS woman (wife, daughter, sister), she'd forced to have the baby but he needs to die.

they don't care because this doesn't involve them.
