A Turd By Any Other Name

This 'toon is not supposed to make anyone chortle with unabashed glee. It's supposed to make you want to throw stuff so I'll leave the chortling to Garfield. (I kid! I kid! I kid because I hate Garfield.)

Seriously, though, each baby that's quietly trashed, each woman who dies from a complication of pregnancy, is no less a victim of murder than every person insured by UnitedHealth Group who is denied treatment. But those responsible, those individuals who metaphorically pull the trigger, never face justice because they are buried deep within organizations like government bureaucracies or boards of directors.

The old but applicable saying of "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups" is doubly galling because only stupid people would vote for such heartless bastards, or put them in management. And America has, apparently, become "Land of the free, home of the stupid."

Check the last election for proof of that.

Technical Note: I've contacted the powers-that-be about the inability to Like one another's Comments more than once. Hopefully they'll fix that problem soon.

If mental gymnastics and hypocrisy were Olympic events, Jeff Bezos would take home the gold with his performance of the pearl-clutching resolution to censure Ann Telnaes.

Disgusting is putting it mildly.

See Morgentaler case in Canada. Jury nullification did a lot of good in that case.

Benji; Yup, I've been following Ms. Telnae's stance against the WaPo's deep dive to the Right. You'd think Bezos would cut its Pulitzer Prize X2-winning cartoonist more slack than this. But, in a fascist state, factual,comment is one of the first to go.

Mr. Stanfill, as a 'toonist yourself this may interest you:

The content in question is in the Substack - and it is balls-on-dead-accurate.

Texas. Where are men and sheep stand back to back.
Fer as ah can tell...
Births count. Deaths don't.

They make sure mothers get all the assistance they can afford. None. Especially after the kid is born. The lower classes of the Dark Ages had better treatment.

White birthrates are down. In Russia they encourage making white babies so Poot has more cannon fodder. In the US, they just want more white babies for the numbers.

Killing someone by intentionally shooting them in the back is a crime; killing them by intentionally denying them coverage or overcharging them isn't.
We'd have more respect for Law and Order if any intentional killing was considered to be a crime.
That should be obvious to anyone who isn't themself a criminal.

“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” Voltaire

Religion is. a scam, and a very good reason these babies are winding up dead. But don't fret; you'll be saved, hallelujah! From what critical thinking? *

Healthcare is a scam. If you're a woman, poor, or a born child in a Republican-controlled state, it's even worse.

Banking is a scam. High interest rates for the so-called wealthy and a credit score for everyone else. These so-called credit scores affect where you live, your quality of life, your ability to get jobs, and your ability to receive healthcare.

Voting is a scam. We want term limits on everyone, not just a president.

Boo-Hoo Boy is crying cuz he can't get his way. Really 23 tweets to King Chuck to try and overthrow a government you don't like or restricts you. That's why I call Elonia Muskrat. Boo-Hoo Boy He's a total crybaby.

Jeff Bezos has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Booze, Drugs, and Whores are expensive. $600 million for a wedding to an ugly woman. Did you bribe, oops, I meant buy the police dept. because you live in that much fear?

We can Like the comments, it just tells us we already did. Which when you think about it, is true.

Texas sex education: Bible Texas pediatrician: Judge Texas delivery room: Coffin Texas nursery: Dumpster (no dumping. babies only)

Fun Fact: Record numbers of new Texas mothers are now disposing of their newborns in dumpsters and ditches. If you think someone should go to Hell for this, blame the Texas Republican Party, which created their absurdly restrictive Texas abortion laws.
