Well shit...I agree with Ann Coulter and it feels funny

1. I would prefer that they force abortions on Rethugs. So we have less braindead people.

[ShazzieB]

15. Fewer brain dead people would be nice, but not forced abortions.

I'm pro-choice, and that means no forced anything for anyone. I can't protest women's bodily autonomy being stripped away while joking about violating someone else's bodily autonomy.

Sorry, I know you meant well.

[erronis]

19. Ok. How about forced sterilizations for GQP men and women?

They used to do it to the "others". Time for them to have a quick procedure. Might save on the viagra bills, too!

[walkingman]

31. Even better!!

[Warpy]

35. No, because a lot of kids look at their fucked up yet dictatorial GOP parents

and become lifelong Democrats.

Don't ask me how I know that.

[ShazzieB]

36. Sorry, but that is just not funny to me, either.

I get why some find it funny, and I'm not about to tell anyone else what they should or should not laugh at. I just can't bring myself to laugh at anything to do with forced pregnancies, forced abortions, or forced sterilizations. All of that is about violations of someone's bodily autonomy, and that's just not something I'm capable of laughing about.

Besides, I don't think joking about violating anyone's bodily autonomy would be a good look for someone who spends as much time as I do advocating for the bodily autonomy of women to be respected. I'd feel like a hypocrite.

But that's me. I don't expect anyone else to necessarily agree.

[housecat]

52. Well I'd like to interfere with magat bodily autonomy by denying physical access to many places.

[LakeArenal]

55. I agree.

Also I would never wish or do anything for revenge politics.

[walkingman]

58. I did. My emotions got the best of me. ☮

[soldierant]

23. Banning abortion kills or maims so may women

that we might actually have fewer brain dead people undr Ann's idea.

[roamer65]

34. Seriously, I favor cash incentives for abortions, vasectomies, tubal ligations...

effective birth control usage/procedures in any form, etc, etc.

We have got to get the population down as fast as possible.

[housecat]

53. Not everyone needs cash, and the incentives would, in effect, discriminate against the poor

[republianmushroom]

38. agree with you

[Escurumbele]

45. You have improved Coulter's idea by 1000+ Darwin would be proud of you.

[Artcatt]

56. Works for me

[Scrivener7]

2. Ooh. I agree. I feel all oogy inside now.

[Permanut]

17. Great line from Kathy Bates in "Misery".

[Scrivener7]

26. Really! I didn't even know! Yikes!

[Sky Jewels]

3. Funny how she changed her tune on abortion.

[onetexan]

59. Because it now affects her as a woman or another female close to her

[SledDriver]

4. Yeah... it does feel funny.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. I believe her gist is that this would mean there'd be less of us, and more of them (nt)

[Nevilledog]

7. Not sure she's capable of such long term thinking.

Polls show even Republicans don't support total bans. They'd lose their voters.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. How about we compromise ...

She's being purposefully vague so people will pay attention to her again, that sound about right?

[Nevilledog]

9. I doubt this will get her much afternoon. She's really an afterthought these days.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. So, you think she's on 'our side' on this one?

I'd have to see more before I assumed that, but you could be right.

[Nevilledog]

12. Nah....I thinks she's a curmudgeon who made a point about Republican policies.

I totally confess I have no clue what goes on in her evil little brain.

I just like the idea of Republicans only hurting other Republicans.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. I knew we could find a consensus

[quakerboy]

42. If so, shes an idiot.

Pretty sure the obvious result would be women abandoning the republican party in droves.

It would be interesting to see the annual numbers on how many persons left (and to be fair, probably rejoined) the republican party in red states each year. Might be eye opening.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

43. It's not something she thinks could happen

it's a dog-whistle.

In my theory of what her point was.

And that's all the ink I'm spilling on this topic.

[Autumn]

6. Well shit...I agree with Ann Coulter and I want to puke my guts out.

But Damn. Excellent idea.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Redeeming point: She probably has a different reason for it than you...

[Nevilledog]

13. That's fine. Let them hurt each other and leave us out of it.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Never interrupt an enemy when they are busy making a mistake...

[live love laugh]

16. Is this the fascist version of good cop bad cop?

Because I don’t believe anything they do especially if it seems right.

[mountain grammy]

18. Bingo!

[2naSalit]

20. Now I need a shower.

[COL Mustard]

21. Eww....

Now I need a shower.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. OMG, the world truly has been turned upside down.

[peppertree]

24. News flash, Con-ter: MANY GOP couples raise what are ultimately Democratic young people

Not least because so many Republican parents are abusive toward their kids - up to twice as much, when you factor socio-economics.

[dchill]

27. ANYONE can enact their own personal abortion ban...

... anytime they choose. That's called bodily autonomy.

[Nevilledog]

28. Exactly!

[calimary]

65. Yep.

Very simple.

[rubbersole]

29. Ann. You are no longer relevant.

Anywhere. You got the coverage you crave. Now STFU.

[inthewind21]

54. Well

she's getting coverage. Right here, right now. Just sayin!

[rubbersole]

60. Kinda like mtg and tfg.

The silver lining is they are the face of the repub party. desantis is overexposed. That's a good thing.

[johnp3907]

30. I don't agree with her.

[Upthevibe]

32. Kick. n/t

[Iggo]

33. No, she agrees with you...for a change.

[crim son]

37. Coulter wants to remain controversial and relevant.

It is therefore interesting that she is taking this position.

[ecstatic]

39. Perfect! Did she post that by accident? lol nt

[ecstatic]

40. Oh I get it, she's under the mistaken belief

that republicans will breed more republicans. It doesn't work that way sweetie. Nice try though.

Edited to add: And of course, she's also suggesting that abortion should be banned for white women.

[Scrivener7]

44. But hmmmm... Maybe we can use their bigotry against them,

and restore personhood to the women who want it...

There's a strategy in there somewhere...

[Rizen]

41. A broken clock...

[SouthernDem4ever]

47. I will finish it for you

"is right twice a day" ( of course it has to be an analogue clock )

[Escurumbele]

46. Her logic really is based on the assumption that in the long run there will be more

republicans, and less Democrats but what she is missing is that kids from republican parents are choosing to support Democrats because they understand the evil ways of the republican party. Good attempt Ann, but you misjudge the corruption from republicans which in fact is turning people away from your party. Not sure if we could put a number to all the people, including republicans, who want to vomit at the site of people like trump, Ann Coulter, Gym Jordan, Josh Hawley and so many others.

[inthewind21]

48. WOW

So we're dragging out Ann Coulter, promoting and siding with her now. And we wonder how we got here.

[Jakes Progress]

49. Not a broken clock but a misprinted calendar.

She's right one time every seven or so years.

[Nelliedog]

50. I'd forgotten she was alive

[JHB]

51. I don't (feel funny, that is)

I look at it this way: Her entire career has been devoted to turning the Republicans into what they are now, and she's loved 98% of it, laughing all the way to the bank.

She has only now figured out who all her efforts were enabling, but being a conservative pundit addicted to bomb-throwing, admitting error is a thought that can't even begin to form within her brain. She's trying to find a way to get her hellbeast back under control and responding to her reins like it's supposed to.

That she sometimes has to say things we sort of agree with in her futile attempts to wrangle her own devilspawn is inevitable, and I take them as the random-chance desperation that they are.

[calimary]

57. Well, you know the old saying about broken clocks.

They’re right twice a day!

[oldsoftie]

61. She was one of the first to turn on Trump too.

"...our president was a liar and con man whose grift was permanent. I hope that clears things up.”

[sellitman]

62. Is this Photo Shopped?

Or maybe a very sick "Onion" article?

[LymphocyteLover]

63. Is this really her? Wow, perfectly reasonable.

[brewens]

64. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. n/t
