Your "right" to a life means living on their terms and by their rules.

Highlighting all the victims of gun violence, the lives stolen, the families destroyed that were left behind. The 2 year old who is now an orphan, Irma Garcia’s husband who died of a heart attack after she was slaughtered in her classroom.
I think those ads would be very powerful.
There will be unnecessary deaths because of the abortion ban. Doctors will hesitate to provide the necessary care in ectopic pregnancies and other situations that endanger lives. Make ads about that too when it happens. Make them own all these deaths.

No child left alive?
If it breathes, it bleeds? (right to die, TBH)
If it moves, kill it?
Forced to live. Forced to die. Do as I say.


It is interesting to look at voodoun culture. Remarkably like the GOP.

Davis believes the secret societies are responsible for policing their communities, and the threat of zombification is one way they maintain order. Says Davis, “Zombification has a material basis. but it also has a societal logic.” To the uninitiated, the practice may appear a random criminal activity, but in rural vodoun society, it is exactly the opposite—a sanction imposed by recognized authorities, a form of capital punishment. For rural Haitians. zombification is an even more severe punishment than death, because it deprives the subject of his most valued possessions: his free will and independence.

Checks all the boxes.
