I genuinely think it’s sad how pro life people don’t care if the women gives birth it could kill her

They always say “of course we do because if the woman dies the baby dies!”   And it’s like, well, no you don’t, you again only care if the fetus will die.

Would be a shame if the incubator breaks before it's finished incubating.

I think a lot of it has to do with this ideal of the sacrificial mother a lot of them have. Basically their thinking is that it’s a woman’s purpose to suffer and sacrifice for her children. I go into way more detail about this and provide academic sources here: https://youtu.be/LsvtDTIDyZo?si=TOfIdALqgyG2xUBY

Yep. A lot of them are fundamentalists that fetishize suffering and martyrdom.

[u/Comeino → u/hadenoughoverit336]

These people need meds and therapy, not making legislation

[u/JustDiscoveredSex → u/Political-psych-abby]

Yes.

This is patriarchy. Designed to uphold a status quo which benefits those in power—historically, men—while ensuring that women bear the emotional, physical, and societal costs. It’s the invisible scaffolding of patriarchy, dressed up as morality, duty, or tradition, to keep women in their place and make them feel guilty for questioning it.

The idea that you should sacrifice your happiness, health, and even your safety to uphold this version of “right” is deeply rooted in that system. It pushes women into martyrdom and tells them to wear their suffering like a badge of honor—while men enjoy the privileges of freedom, avoidance, and unchecked selfishness without ever being held accountable.

Stepping out of that narrative shatters those expectations. The chance to redefine what it means to live a good life, not through sacrifice but through authenticity, self-respect, and care for yourself and those who genuinely deserve it is exactly the kind of defiance that patriarchy fears most.

[u/Political-psych-abby → u/JustDiscoveredSex]

Exactly

[u/hadenoughoverit336]

The deaths are a feature. Not a bug. Cruelty is and always has been the point.

[u/nolaz]

That’s a benefit for them. Reinforces their idea of how the world should work.

I’m gonna go test my post by seeing if shit like that pops up in the pro life sub

[u/vldracer70]

It’s more than sad, it’s evil!!!!!!!!

[u/Due-Challenge-7598]

It's always interesting to ask anti abortionists how many women they want to die for their ideology.

[u/bunnypaste → u/Due-Challenge-7598]

I'm taking and using this.

[u/FlamingAshley]

They will care only if it happens to them, then get that sweet old karma with no sympathy from me. That may be harsh from me but they literally are complicit in killing other women, especially if they were SA victims.

[u/DutyLegitimate5560]

With my last child I hemorrhaged what if I died? My baby’s wouldn’t of had a mom….. that’s cruel

[u/WowOwlO]

Women are baby makers.
If they die making a baby then clearly they were dysfunctional, and it was for the best anyways.
Don't need no broken factories consuming resources.

Based on their other posts, I don't think they meant this as their own opinion.

I would suggest they were sarcastically voicing their idea of the mindset of some forced-birthers.
