      Plus the droves of idiots who actually agree with this shit, whether through honest belief or indoctrination.

      Story time! My friend’s cousin gave birth to a child with no brain. It had a rudimentary brain stem but literally had no brain. Her doctors knew this early on and suggested she abort as it had a 0% chance of survival. She was staunchly anti-abortion and declined, going on about how God meant her to have this child. So she carried it to term and actually managed to keep it alive for a few weeks, telling anyone who listened that it was her miracle baby. It would roll its eyes around and twitch at random. Surprising no one, it soon died. She was crushed as she thought it was getting better. Somehow. Magic I guess.

      This is what American christofascist indoctrination does to people. It’s like the Handmaid’s Tale but everyone is 50% stupider.
