"First they came for..." you fucking ghouls.
You signed a death warrant for us all and for our children's supposed future, and your ignorance and cowardice was the ink.

Kristen Bell; she and her, now husband, Dax Woods made one of my favorite movies. Hit and Run. It's a car chase and road trip movie that is also left wing. Mostly a guy's movie, but homosexuality is dealt with grace and humor. It's really funny and smart. My fifteen year old son loved it. Positive masculinity is shown.
Classic FAFO
And nothing was actually learned.
If she waited it out, she and the fetus could suffer tremendously. “The thing [a doctor] said was, ‘There are things worse than death, and I have seen it,’” Farmer recounted.
Damn. Feels like it could be a good quote to oppose anti-abortion.
I am rapidly running out of sympathy for such people. I still have some, but I am rapidly running out.
This may get downdooted to oblivion, but I think some of this is human nature. It is abhorrent, and something we need to strive to fix, but it is rather natural for people to think that their own situation is typical -- because for them, it is. Every exemplar that a privileged person will have is also a privileged exemplar -- until, of course, something like this happens.
And as a further consequence, it is extremely difficult to convince someone that their personal situation is not the norm. Everyone wants to be the main character and ultimately believes that they are.
Not sure what the solution is.

"then connected Farmer with an anti-abortion crisis pregnancy center in the state"
I can imagine how that conversation went: "I know its risking not only your reproductive organs, but also your life. However, have you considered carrying the child to term so she can die in your arms shortly afterward so you can 'pwn the libs'? Think about their tears!"
