    Normal, decent, functional people: I need to have a medical procedure.

    Republicans: I need *for you* to *not* have a medical procedure.

  2. It’s not even that much.

    They don’t care about the health of a fetus. They just want more people to have fetuses so that some of them will survive into poverty and join the military as the only real choice. Then, send them off to war as a distraction from the fact that Republicans love and protect child rapist.

  3. Their party is largely supported by the poor, and uneducated. They also use that to build the military through empty promises to those people, by denying them any real fundamental way out.

  4. Old school political cartoon with Papa Bush. New guard much worse than the old guard

  5. The reality is so much worse than this, even sticking with the metaphor. He should be giving a speech about how much of a victim he is in this situation, while violently trying to steal their clothing and shoes too.

  6. Except that the conservatives do NOTHING to protect the fetus other than ban abortion. Nothing else is done to protect it. No WIC, no food stamps, no medical care, no work leave, Nothing is done other than to make sure the woman is required to remain pregnant.

    Now today, if something happens to during pregnancy that causes the lose the woman may be charged with some form of murder and brought to trail in several states. Even though things that would have prevented the miscarriage may have been denied to the woman carrying.

    So this cartoon, even back when it was published, looks like 35ish years ago as that appears to be George HW Bush, it vastly over represented the protections the GOP were willing to offer.

    They need that baby to be born to poor families so it can grow up to be another cog in their machine.

  8. As that is the attitude it confirms my belief that all of this evil setting of modern day-America is part of a gender war: The “Keep them barefoot and pregnant”-attitude worked before with women so the tRumpers figured that so it will again.

  9. Mmm, this is a little wrong, the kid should be on the guys side, probably on an island or something. Idk
