  • Another standout sentence from that article:

    He also referred to abortions as “early term executions”, after reports confirming that treatments he has taken to treat his Covid-19 were developed using cells derived from aborted fetuses – a practice his administration opposes.

    I know that politicians are no strangers to truth twisting, but we seem to have entered an age where so much insane stuff has already been said that we've crossed a threshold to the point where anyone can say anything, and before anyone can actually follow up on it, something else even more insane happens.

  • And now the local fruitloop anti abortion in all case "pro-lifers" are using this to spread anti covid vaxx lies.

    USA right wing evangelism has a LOT to answer for.

  • It's a deliberate conflation between the very rare late-term abortions (circa 1% and usually only for late-diagnosed fetal abnormalities) which are after 21 weeks, and the phrase late-term pregnancy used to mean 40+ weeks. It's really unhelpful to have the same phrase used in both situations and allows Trump et al to talk about babies being executed even after due date which just does not ever happen.
