I know this sounds made up, but it isn’t. I had to talk down a family member who accused Democrats of supporting “after birth abortions”. My response:

“No X, that’s called Infanticide. It’s illegal in all 50 states.”

Don’t know if he still believes it, but I encouraged him to look it up online and he later conceded.

I believe the legal term of art for infanticide is "murder".

Now I'm imagining a 70s style monster movie with giant killer infants terrorizing a town 😄

There's no way that isn't already a twilight zone or outer limits episode.

Alex Jones and others have been pushing this notion for over a decade, that Planned Parenthood actually operates a black market for baby parts and organs.

I think they used some shitty, vastly out if context stealth footage from Project Veritas, if memory serves.

Hell, the whole crazy Q Anon adrenochrome shit at least partially spawned from this: Live, scared babies have more or more pure adrenochrome, therefore thats how we know they do post birth abortions!

Its a delusional reinforcing loop of explanations for things that are not happening leading to explanations for those explanations... evidence is no where, but if you're prone or susceptible to the idea that there is a true, objective, hidden evil in this world, then uh, well facts don't care about your feelings and if you feel scared and angry, any 'facts' will do.

No no that's the immigrants, Democrats eat babies for their adrenochrome or something like that

Why not? The Netherlands allow abortion up to the 22nd week of pregnancy, which is a good compromise in my opinion

Im from Germany where abortion is only possible until the 12th week, at which point many women don't even know they are pregnant yet.

Edit: I'm an idiot and skipped the "after birth" part while reading

Yeah that’s straight up murder, anyone feeding people these lies is laughing at anyone who believes this

I say we make it legal to abort babies up to 120 months after birth. If you make it to double digits you're safe!

It's funny that the same assholes yelling about post-birth abortion are the same assholes that want "death sentences for everyone" when asked about some crimes. And doesn't care about killing kids "if done right" (by death sentence or by police brutality).

I couldn't read this message because I am a Haitian immigrant in Ohio, and that puppy looks fucking delicious. /s
