I'm surprised it took so long
to be fair, he's been too busy fucking up everything else.
to be fair, he's been too busy fucking ~~up everything else~~ underage girls.
FTFY
¿Por qué no los dos?
Yes I'm still surprised the government haven't released the documents they are holding for the child rape ring that includes powerful politicians such as Trump.
Schulz, who went through the IVF process with his wife, seemed genuinely flabbergasted the notoriously dishonest president had lied about this. Sadly, however, Schulz doesn’t seem to have drawn the correct conclusion, which is that he should shut up about politics forever.
Look - if you still believe what this guy tells you after almost 10 years of nothing but lies, I got nothin’.
But but but this is the first lie I paid attention to because it affected me directly! How could he do this to me specifically? It’s only every single other person that he was supposed to lie to, and about!
Them, probably
52 percent of female voters voted for him.
I'm sure you can find something. Like a ha-ha Nelson jpg, or a Pic of a fat leopard or something.
Yet MAGA women will still praise his name and twice on Sundays. Fuck this timeline and everyone who made it happen.
Instead of treatment, Project 2025 proposes shaming patients for premarital sex
This shit makes no fucking sense. What, do married people not need IVF?
Am I wrong in thinking that the majority of women seeking treatment for infertility are married?
What they are saying is that women who are unable to conceive while married are being punished for having had premarital sex and for having used birth control.
Quite the presumption
No that's actually how they think. They're insane. Like actually insane. Howling at the moon, rubber room and grippy sock, danger to themselves and others bat shit insane. Gleefully bounding into new unknown lands of just snake-fuckingly crazy.
I was raised in it. They really believe that all suffering is a curse from their impotent god. And that everyone who is suffering deserves it for one vague "sin" or another.

Which is hilarious because according to their holy text that’s not how this works.
There are examples in the Old Testament of God being like, “I’m going to punish you because of such-and-such,” but that doesn’t mean every bad thing is a punishment.
Jesus disciples were like, “Why was this man born blind? Was it his sin or his parents’ sin?” And Jesus said, “Neither, duh.”
It’s depressing to me how focused on sin evangelicals are. The whole point of Christianity is that all have sinned and fallen short, so they need Jesus. But evangelicals don’t know shit about their own theology. They sing their songs about how great and powerful their god is and they go out to judge people and enforce their idea of the law.

Blaming birth control for later infertility has a long history despite being absolutely unproven medically.
Yeah, but gawd werkz in misteereeus wayz.
This the same guy who raped underage girls?
You mean Donald Trump, pedophile and proven rapist?
Is that the same guy that rapes children and is on the Epstein list?
Yes the same guy that has more pictures of him with Epstein than there are trans athletes in the NCAA.
No, that can't be. Once they release the epstein files I'm sure he'll be totally exonerated.
It'll be the biggest exoneration, like no exoneration that has ever been seen before. I was on the phone to Chy-naaa and they came to me and said "Mr President, how do you put on such a good exoneration?"
In reality, as I’ve written before, they resent IVF for the same reasons they loathe abortion and birth control — conservatives believe women should be enslaved to their biology.
They believe women should be enslaved in every way.
A lot of Theo-Bros that want women to be chained to their husbands by outlawing no-cause divorce. Then they will redefine narrow rules for which causes are justifiable causes. They're already trying to legalize child marriage. They've already made single living a poverty lifestyle for most. So they are happily coercing women into marriages and locking them in there because they know sane woman would not willingly partner with them for their whole lives, and getting rid of their choice is easier (for them) than being a person they would choose.
This is hilarious. I know a couple who voted for him specifically for his free IVF campaign promise.
Anyone stupid enough to vote for him should probably not be raising a child
I guess they learned nothing from his first term and the vapid and meaningless slogan of "promises made, promises kept".
Even towards the end of his first term, I saw his base mindlessly repeating that and clapping like trained seals at some qon events. You have to be a special kind of stupid, I guess...
Hey Canada, my country is now officially under illegal occupation by the Republic of Gilead, can y'all start giving us refugee status?
🥺👉👈
I thought this was spam at first. Was waiting for a gofundme link.
Lmao, on c/asklemmy someone asked why emojis aren't used more often, this is exactly why.
Emoji use = bot/scammer for some reason 🤷♂️
Let's start attacking women's rights and making financial stability a dream out of reach for most working Americans, that'll make women want to have children!
Wait, they're not? We'll obviously it's the women's fault!
Yes, very on-brand.
I had to laugh when these dipsticks took up the mantra of "promises made, promises kept" in his first term.
WTF, these asshats got nothing from Taco unless they were multi-millionaires. He promised many things in his first term and many of these fucking morons voted for him again after he gave them nothing but the spectacle of "owning the libs".
Ivf is a men issue. Balls too old. https://www.pfcla.com/blog/low-sperm-count-treatment
The phrase balls too old is fucking funny as hell out of context.
I'm still waiting for my "$6000 child tax credit", fuckers.
I'm almost surprised that people believed he would implement it.
We are neck-deep in a lot of insanely stupid people in this country. Lots of people think he's a bigly important successful bidness man, too, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
MAGA women not being able to have children is a win
Holy fuck I'm so glad I just got a hysterectomy. I was terrified BC was gonna be targeted and it was the only thing keeping my endometriosis and debilitating periods at bay. Symptoms of recurring endometriosis started happening last year and in February my specialist approved a hysterectomy. I got the procedure done 3 weeks ago. Seems like I got it done just in time, too.
This country needs to ensure the future of its conservative values. I suggest taking everyone in the Heritage foundation and putting them in a strategic federal conservative reserve (i.e. Locking them in an abandoned salt mine for decades.)

We're really going back to behaving like we're living in the middle ages. Your wife can't conceive? Time to find an excuse to get rid of her as that's one of her only purposes and you need a heir.
"drops promise"?
cripes.
