Face, meet leopard. Leopard, meet face.

I am seeing that most of the "I didn't vote for this" are coming from people that only wanted to hurt other demographics, just not their own. In the rural MAGA areas, people are angry that undocumented workers and friends of theirs are getting deported. They thought only the "bad ones" would be deported.

I think it was the Daily Mash that had a headline, "I only voted for the racism not the economic damage"

The river of denial is incredibly deep and strong.

"It wasn't till Trump that things were put in order", huh, shame Trump didn't have a previous term after 2015 when he could have 'put things in order' and pointed out the mistake. Still, it's nice to know that there are still some people who even as the secret police are kicking them to a pulp will point out how much shinier their boots are than under the previous regime.

Despite his insistence in every rally that they're all the bad ones.

Most of these people didn't listen, they vibed and treated his words like a buffet

This isn't just somebody saying: "I never thought the leopard would eat my face". This is a leopard saying: "I didn't realize the face I was eating would turn out to be my own."
 
I wanted to see her reasoning (blaming the left) but it's a paywalled WSJ article and I'm not on Twix (would have liked to see those comment though. 😛 ).

So... how did she square that circle?
 
I suppose all circles can be squared if you hammer in the right place. My guess (I'm not going to bother with the paywall and the twits can have it) would be that there would be no anti-abortion law if those damned libs didn't want any abortions. A "see what you made me do" variant.

Twix (which I'm totally stealing, btw) didn't seem to provide any actual discussion of reasoning, or of the article. Pretty much just the by-line and photo.

It's confusing to me, because FL limits when voluntary abortions can take place, but allows terminations when the mother's life or health are endangered - which it absolutely would be with an ectopic pregnancy. Seems like there are multiple possible explanations:
  • Hospital is overly paranoid about the law, and is afraid to have two doctors sign off that it's needed
  • Patient in question didn't know it was an ectopic when they went to the ER, and intake assumed some other cause of abdominal distress
  • Patient isn't being entirely forthright about the events
  • Hospital is engaging in malicious compliance using patients as pawns
  • ...
  • Several other possible explanations, including Planet X beaming a new drama into our brains
 
I'm all for malicious compliance. Malice is the eye of the beholder, and it's baked into many laws. When people like her are not the victims, they're liable to shuck it off with "the law's the law," and so it is. The obverse of malicious compliance is selective privilege. If any patient is denied vital care because of the law, then they are pawns already to the lawmakers' agenda. If any collateral damage from compliance with the law occurs, let it be to her. As my sweet old grandmother used to say, "tough luck. She's got no kick coming."

Her health and life were not sufficiently at risk at the time so they needed to wait for the ectopic pregnancy to rupture before they can justify an abortion.

Weird that “Republicans pass draconian law that puts the lives of women at risk and a Republican woman was shocked to find it applied to her” wasn’t on your list of possibilities considering that it’s the truth. But good luck solving this mystery by denying the very obvious answer staring you in the face.
