@QasimRashid To me the Duggars have been a microcosm of everything that's wrong with religious extremism AND a media that demands stuff to fill air time so we get cheap-to-produce "reality TV" BS.

And yes, that she was able to get health care for her miscarriage instead of being threatened with a murder rap is rank hypocrisy.

@QasimRashid Exceptionalism, of course. "It is OK in this case, for us, but for you it is murder and terrible"

The religious right always do this.

@QasimRashid

The 'H' in 'Jesus H Christ' stands for Hypocrisy.

@QasimRashid

Fck People magazine for not calling it what it is.

@QasimRashid

The motivating ethic is "We must not let the wrong people get nice things."

@QasimRashid

"The only moral abortion is my abortion" is a great collection of stories about the these kind of hypocrites put together by Joyce Arthur. Many of the stories come from people working as caregivers.

@QasimRashid Jessa and her sisters grew up in an abusive religious cult, so much so that she could not classify the sexual assault done to her by her brother, as sexual assault.

Our number one priority should be helping people like this get out, even if they are more conservative than we would like them to be.

Making fun of their hypocrisy without acknowledging that they too are victims feels overly facile.

@QasimRashid To be fair, she suffered a miscarriage.

Or as I prefer to call them: "God's abortion."

As it turns out, God himself is a Godless baby-killer!

@QasimRashid
Begin sarcastic voice:

But it wasn't an abortion, it was a D & C

End sarcastic voice

@QasimRashid
As a Republican would say, these aren't the same things.

When non-religious people have abortions, they are killing babies somehow against an omnipotent god's will. When religious people have abortions, they are performing life-saving procedures for the mother and she is comforted knowing it's god's will.

@QasimRashid LOL they went out of their way to not describe it as an abortion.

It sounds like maybe the pro-choice movement should abandon abortion in favor of medical procedures to terminate pregnancies.

@QasimRashid

There is one purpose to abortion law, to criminalize women as women.

To stop, to question, to prevent travel, to control speech, to control. Stopping women at state borders to monitor bleeding, to require high school girls to report their periods to authorities.

To end women's freedom. To bring rulers, to end democracy.

Republicans want to get up under every woman's skirt. Forever.

Obedience. Intimate oppression.

19 kids. 19. For fuck's sake, it's a uterus, not a clown car.

@QasimRashid D&C is a common treatment for miscarriage. Most likely the child had already died at that point.

@QasimRashid

That’s not an abortion
Her pregnancy had already ended by miscarriage.

This is highly inappropriate; not a worthy gotcha.

Jessa is not her father, who instrumentalized all his children, especially the girls, one of whom is and in the midst of a tragedy

Leave her alone

@QasimRashid typical facist hipocricy:

I would've at least respected their shit if they were consequent to themselves.

@QasimRashid

Don’t forget pedophile son!
