1. These toons say it all and loudly! Well done, kpete! ♥

[SergeStorms]

2. Perspective always helps.

It's quite apparent the Texas GQP has no perspective whatsoever.

Looks like Texas still wants to cling to It's hackneyed, "Everything is bigger in Texas" meme.

3. How depressing and sadly true

[Hekate]

4. Yes, indeed

[Ziggysmom]

5. Cogito ergo sum? Since when do repubes ever truly think?

[soldierant]

6. Good question.

Descartes: Cogito, ergo sum, ergo omnia esse videntur.

7. Nothing to do with preserving life. Everything to do with controlling women.

The only people who do not know or understand this are those who are willfully blind or lying to themselves.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

8. And of course, Talibexastan puketards

Work around the clock...seeing that prenatal care and economic stabilization are provided for each one of these little grains of joy.

10. You can do better than the -tard suffix, which is an ableist slur.

9. That's kind of similar to how my 8 wk embryos looked on ultrasound.

I remember thinking that they looked like Teddy Grahams.

11. Good God.

Reminds me of the mutant baby from the 1974 shlock classic, It's Alive!

12. This does not help us.

Everyone knows the size of these embryos.

They see it as "future baby".

I had an ultrasound at like 4 weeks and they were able to count pulses. This was way back in 1989. I was amazed how closely the rate closely resembled a newborn. I'm thinking it was about 160 or so. I was undergoing fertility treatment, so that was why they did ultrasound. The embryo was the size of a pinhead!

Anyway, most women don't see their embryo as a "baby"...They seem themselves as pregnant and they see their bodies going through changes.

We can do better than this.
