The White Rose Resistance (WRR), where Zacharia sat on the board until February, is best known for its anti-abortion disinformation, harassment campaigns against providers, and for collecting the country’s worst extremists. The group’s national outreach director AJ Hurley, for example, was charged with felony stalking of an abortion provider in San Francisco in 2022. Per his own bio, Hurley is also connected to the woman who was found with multiple fetuses in her home

    So yeah, y’all hear that? If you get pregnant and something goes wrong and the fetus does at any stage, you die too.

    Go fuck yourself bitch. Your whole administration needs to be in jail.

    I started to consider how its possible to end up with someone this bad as press secretary.

    Is it:

    • No one with competence wants to work for this administration
    • Someone close to her bought Trump’s crypto
    • they purposely put someone who is incompetent there as a “fuck you” to the press

    All of the above?

    The death penalty isn’t even commonly applied to one-off first degree murder convictions. It normally takes some other factor such as torture or multiple killings to escalate it to death penalty.

    Even if you think abortion is murder this is detached from reality.

      They’re MAGAts; they’re unconcerned about reality, unless it’s gas prices, but they’re oddly quiet right now. I figured they’d be up in pitchforks.

      Ehhh, I kinda have to push back on this a bit here. I’m 100% on board that this lady is a wacko and monster, and that women should be able to abort as many babies as they damn well please, to be clear. It’s just that from these peoples perspective it’s a baby right? I’m pretty sure someone murdering a newborn would be treated more harshly than a typical murderer. So if we are looking at it from the weirdos perspective we have to look at it as a baby murder. Not just a normal murder. Now I might be wrong about the specifics of baby murder. I’m no lawyer. But I thought it relevant to bring up.

        There was recently a mother that killed her 3 kids, admitted to it, and was likely going to a mental institute where she would have been able to be released within months. It’s not that uncommon to hear about a college girl that kills her baby shortly after birth as a way to try to escape the reality.

        I’m not that informed on the subject but I would be very surprised if death penalty was ever given for a single instance of killing a baby. Death penalty isn’t even legal in many states although that’s a separate controversial issue.

            Pretty much all of these examples included additional crimes such as rape, multiple murders, etc. which was my point

            The two that don’t were later overturned.

            Did you read the article? Maybe spend more time doing research than writing a comment… Or better yet at least read the comment you are responding to first.

            I will soften my position from “ever” because that includes some of the archaic shit the US did in prior centuries. A better articulation is that they have done any recently

              Did YOU read the article? These are the laws in these states that specifically state what the aggravating circumstance is.

              Table 1. States Authorizing the Death Penalty for Killing a Child State Child-Victim Aggravating Circumstance

              Arizona

              The defendant was an adult at the time the offense was committed or was tried as an adult and the murdered person was under fifteen years of age or was seventy years of age or older

              Arkansas

              The capital murder was committed against a person whom the defendant knew or reasonably should have known was especially vulnerable to the attack because the person was 12 years of age or younger

              Connecticut (prior to abolition)

              The offender in the commission of the offense, purposefully caused the death of another who was under thirteen years of age at the time of the commission of the offense and the defendant committed the offense with prior calculation and design

              The offense was outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible, or inhuman in that it involved torture, depravity of mind, or an aggravated battery to the victim. Any murder is wantonly vile, horrible, and inhuman if the victim is less than thirteen years of age

                Do you not understand that the maximum allowed penalty does not signal it is the standard or common penalty? Did you read the article?

                Please stop responding with your bullshit 🫰

        “Thou shalt not kill.” not “Thou shalt not kill babies”

        They are perverting their own Christian commandments in their bloodlust.
