39. You know what tugged at my heart the most when I was watching that family?

I couldn't stop thinking that If the RW had its way, those kids would never have been allowed to exist, and no other children conceived through IVF will be allowed to exist in the future, either!

Project 2025 calls for the elimination of IVF (along with birth control, abortion, and every other reproductive freedom you can think of). In other words, the RWNJs actually want to make it so that a beautiful family like that would not be allowed to come into being. How fucking disgusting is that?

Of course, that's just one of about eleventy million reasons that the Orange Hellbeast ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT EVER be president again, but looking at those flesh and blood people and seeing how much they love each other really brought that particular issue home to me, and it made me so angry. Ugh.
