No, this is not "murdered by words" or "epic comeback" you dolts! This is not some gotchya that's going to force your enemies to reconsider their position with facts and logic or whatever! This is just restating their position!

Its totally internally consistent! They believe abortion is murdering a person, and they believe that the state executing a person for murder isn't itself murder! They are wrong, and they are evil, they are NOT confused about it. Shut the fuck up!

    Yeah this kind of not understanding the mindset of these Evangelical misogynists is very frustrating.

    It's like, you live in a country that regularly murders the poor, those with insurance who don't have enough money to pay out of pocket for what's denied, the homeless, POC for existing, that regularly murders people thousands of miles away across the world to uphold its imperialist hegemony and cheap treats and yet you are shocked that the Evangelicals whose holy book justifies massacring and SA'ing girls, that justifies killing rpe victims if they don't cry out loud enough to be heard, that forces rpe victims to marry their assailant, that has inspired the thinking that disobedient women are possessed or witches for a thousand years, that has enforced and upheld patriarchy and the absolute rule of men over women's lives and bodies for centuries, that has Paul (Saul or Tarsus) saying he will not permit a woman to be in authority over a man, would be like this.

    Misunderstanding the context in which you operate, in which your enemy operates this badly is dangerous. You're going to lose if your movement writ-large can't grasp those things.
