3. There used to be an old quip about Repugs caring about fetuses until they were born,

which was meant to highlight the inconsistency in being "prolife" in a manner which opposed abortion access but then did nothing to care for the resulting babies/children.

Now it continues, not just with the damage to Medicaid, or PRAMS, or the CDC. Even this Tylenol/autism bullshit does this. You know what is damaging to a fetus? A maternal fever. If you cared about fetuses' health you wouldn't be lying about the safety of an effective and easily available antipyretic.

That headline quip never quite right. George Carlin said it better when he identified the prolifers (i.e., Repugs) as anti-women.

They don't care about fetuses. They just want to force women to be pregnant. The fetus doesn't even enter into it.
