Protecting Children does not stop at birth.

Well, for the GOP, it does. They are so bad at protecting children in so many ways that Epstein is only a minor issue…

“Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own! Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you!”

Hot take here: Protecting children starts at birth.

They’re not pro-life. They’re pro forced birth.

Always remember: It’s anti-choice. That’s the true dichotomy, because pro-choice people are not anti life.

Calling it anything else is putting lipstick on a pig, deceptive, allowing voters to feel good about being assholes to others; and whoever invented that term knew this perfectly well.

Also, something something George Carlin.

Imo you can’t call yourself pro-life and be against a fair social system (at the very least regarding medical fees). Loosing your mother at age 6 becausee insulin costs 400$ a vial is not being protected, neither is dying from cancer at age 12 because the insurance won’t pay for your treatment.

Lol. It’s not about “protecting children”, it’s about controlling women.

oh, but that’s where you’re wrong. Once they’re born, they can get fucked. /s

This is not a meme. It’s just a statement. 🤷‍♀️

Unless you’re q Republican, then feyussea are important, babies can go fuck themselves, the greedy little blasters always want money

For righties, protecting children stops at birth because at no point whatsoever are they ever about protecting children. A fetus is neither a person nor a child, nor does it exhibit any hallmarks of consciousness. It is simply a medical condition, so it’s a convenient thing to champion imaginary “unborn children” because real children - real living, breathing people - have actual material needs. Fighting for the living means doing things other than treating vulnerable people horribly, and that is, at the start and end of the day, the only thing those sadists desire.

Pro-lifers when they support a pedo to “protect the children” and kill immigrants, trans people 🤡

Incidentally Some folks might notice several Baltic banks are conspicuously involved in the Epstein affairs, facilitating transactions often between Epstein and some of the trafficked persons he engaged in.

[Trigger Warning: Fucking cosmic-horror caliber real world scale mass child sex abuse is discussed.]

In the 1990s the Soviet Union collapsed, and shit got dire. Children (like 8-9 year olds) were literally prostituting themselves on the street. For the price of a meal (which was pretty expensive) you could get a little boy or little girl to suck you off or engage in some other service. There were established rules of engagement, communicated by word of mouth, and prices were also decided and fixed. The kids actually organized all this on their own.

This font of desperate kids is the source of the Russian pornography industry of the late 1990s and aughts. An awful lot of Russian adolescent girls were photographed and filmed and distributed world-wide. (As per other porn industries, girls were declared to be 18 since that’s the highest international legal limit. They often weren’t seldom were.) Russian girls got the same reputation that Swedish women did in the 1970s. A lot of it is CSAM and we don’t know which, because not all the girls have been traced to living women. Eventually, street-walking kids were, hungry and desperate, brought into the fold of the rising ру́сская ма́фия (Russian mob syndicates) who turned prostitution and porn into a globe-spanning industry, especially as USENET allowed long distance file transfer. The internet would follow.

These starving kids, now peddled by the Bratva orgs are those from which Epstein hired his service girls (in this case, girls is literal), often as young as thirteen. Girls’ gotta eat.

Let this be a warning to the US, as our government services, our benefits for low-income families and our economy collapses into a quagmire: Little kids prostituting themselves is a step in the famine deterioration process of society. If famine continues people start just literally eating children. Yes, we will go full cannibal if food becomes scarce enough.

It’s better not to think about the situation in Palestine right now. Or maybe do and get motivated, because it’s already at Song of Ice and Fire levels of horrible over there. What is happening there will crack your brain.

Seriously do not let it come to this. There are a lot of organizations trying to do this non-violently, but at the point our kids are starving, it’s time to start shooting (or maybe butchering) MAGA Nazis. Seventy seven million Trump voters are about, so we shouldn’t be short of game.

Anti-abortion access was never about improving the welfare of children. Historically, the laws we have to protect children (food provisions like Food Stamps / SNAP, medical care, child labor regulations, etc.) occurred only after we had animal protection laws, and someone noticed animals have more rights than kids do.

Education was a result of kids out of work engaging in too much mischief. The point was containment first, and the whole let’s teach them some basics thing came later.

And no-one wants to know the hazards that Victoria-era street urchins had to face. It’s better to imagine the Devil’s Dandy Dogs / The Hounds of Tindalos consumed those children who failed to dodge artfully.

Today, the juvenile court system in the US remains a nightmare, where kids are warm bodies to fuel prison rackets. Children are not guaranteed Constitutional rights, nor the Miranda rights. They often do not get due process, and minors often suffer dearly for breaking laws that do not apply to majority citizens (adults). Woe to the black kid or adolescent that crosses path with police.

One day the society built on the ashes of the US will actually take interest in the welfare and safety of children. But probably not in my lifetime.

(When I played The Sims 2 a family had guests over, and the baby was on the floor (a distracted sim will put a baby on the floor on occasion), and one of the non-friend guests picked her up, fed her and changed her diaper. And I had to pause and cry that I don’t live in that society. Said guest then fell into the hold youngster abyss which in The Sims 2 is the substitute for crack cocaine.)

Seen something similar about school breakfasts. No, they can
