    I just find the term incredibly stupid and hilarious šŸ˜… Republicans always says the dumbest shit.

    Think about it for a second;

    ā€œPost birthā€ means you are born. Right? Once you are born, you cant be aborted anymoreā€¦ it changes the whole meaning. If you are born, breathe on your own and someone kills you, its murder. Not ā€œpost-birth abortionā€ lmao. Abortion is the end of a pregnancy. No pregnancy, no abortion.

    Republicans can spin and twist this off as ā€œabortionā€ as much as they want, they arenā€™t doing a good job convincing the average Joe that abortion is wrong. Which is their goalā€¦ and everybody knows abortion is a relatively mild medicine procedure that does not involve killing anybody so why still using these stupid ass term?

      Itā€™s a tactful way to get ignorant people to vote against their own interest. I donā€™t think DeSantis is dumb, I think heā€™s power hungry.

      Just imagine how brain dead you need to be to believe this shit. And now remember that they vote.

      Listen, I used to be like you. I used to be confident that most people were smarter than shit like the idea of ā€œpost birth abortion.ā€ You know what shattered that faith? The election in 2016. While it might be true that the majority of people arenā€™t that dumb, it doesnā€™t matter; it only takes *just enough *knuckleheads that eat up the shit like DeSantis is spreading to fuck us all.

      There are enough people that will believe ā€œpost birth abortionsā€ are happening - just like there were enough that believed (and STILL believe!) the election was stolen - simply because DeSantis said so, to be a considerable threat to our democracy.

      The saying ā€œnever underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbersā€ is more apropos than ever these days.
