"But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this, where do they come from? People say, well, they come from God, they're God-given rights… Aw fuck, here we go again… here we go again. The God excuse. The last refuge of a man with no answers and no argument, it came from God…"

Sounds about right after hearing the Supreme Courts decision.

Life has literally never been sacred in this country.
It ends up always making much more sense, and reactionary/regressive rhetoric in general, when you realize how much all of their values are built around an incredibly self-centered view of the world.
LIFE IS SACRED, but only based on what I define as life, and whose lives I deem sacred.
WE DESERVE FREEDOM, but only when it puts MY freedom above others, and the people I hate deserve enslavement and chains.
I CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, but only if they're in my social circle and they don't contradict my beliefs, or I'll toss them aside like garbage.
It's all pure me, me, ME with the fascists. They literally cannot care about anything without needing it to either be some vague symbolism or symbol that they can easily twist and warp to their own self-serving way of thinking, or only if it directly affects their own lives. And they know this deep down, and thus need to constantly control everything in order to maintain their cruel and egotistic fantasy, because they can't properly function in a reality that doesn't give two shits about them.
We might be both human beings, but reactionaries/regressives/fascists live in a completely different reality from sane people, and they're willing to drag us all down with them just to avoid facing the reality of how batshit horrible they really are.
Exactly, and George Carlin also did a great bit on the hypocrisy of the “life is sacred” argument (back in the 90s!!!!) It’s really sad to see how not only have these problems not changed, they’re just getting worse.

Since SCOTUS is going to overturn #RoeVWade I think this one from George Carlin is appropriate.
“They’re anti-women”
On Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of a leaked draft document written by Justice Samuel Alito suggesting that the US Supreme Court will vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that made abortion legal nationwide. Roberts added that, while it is legitimate, it is not yet a final decision and directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the leak. POLITICO was the first to report the leaked document on Monday, which is dated February 10.
Source: Leak: Justices poised to overturn Roe v. Wade
What you need to know
Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the leaked document on Tuesday
In the document, Justice Alito says “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start”
The decision is not final until it’s published, likely in the next two months, and justices can and sometimes do change their votes, according to POLITICO
President Joe Biden said the "stability of our law" requires that the Supreme Court doesn't overrule Roe v. Wade and that he'll work to codify the right to abortion

As usual...
While the Supreme Court is taking away people’s right to bodily autonomy, I am sitting in the living room safe from RWNJ bullshit because my governor is currently at a pro-choice March to protect RoevWade.  Weeks ago, he signed a law that protect citizens of my state from Texas’s bounty hunting abortion laws.  Even if I didn’t live here, I have no uterus for them to regulate.  That does not mean I cannot see nor feel the despair of those who are not so fortunate.  And the LGBT community who know they’re next on the culture wars chopping block.  Because I know the truth.  It has never, ever been about saving babies.  Everyone from nuns to statistics from Romania from their ban to Child Safety officers will tell you that forcing people to have babies they do not want, were forced on them by a rapist or abuser, or cannot afford does not benefit those children at all.  It’s about the appearance of righteousness for virtue signaling and retaining power at all costs.  And it always has been.  No one who has done one minute of actual looking at the facts supports outlawing abortion.  It is emotional blackmail by right wing politicians who can’t drum up support any way but outrage politics and culture wars because their actual platform are religious oligarchy of making the rich richer.  It was never, ever about babies. It was about controlling people’s bodies and behavior.
Edited because there are men who have uteruses and are affected by this.  My bad.
