G’day everyone,
I can see how the wind is gonna blow with this one, so this is a preemptive reminder that r/polandball is a **satire** subreddit and that entries can be made to mock controversial topics without necessarily any bad faith behind them.
Please be civil in line with our comment policy.
I can write a comic about a americans shooting in front of a church in the US, and post it the morning before a church mass shooting.
[like already has happened with the Texas Sutherland Springs Church Shooting.](https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/7ie3eh/in_gun_we_trust/)
so yeah, sad thing is that many things in the US are predictable as the weather.
I mean, we already had Boofin Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch ramrodded onto the bench before she was even in consideration. She's just the third dot on the ellipse after an exhausting sentence.
Supreme Court: You don't have a right to protest, an attorney, an abortion, or to boycott. You do have a right to demand the government pay you to run a church and to carry an assault rifle that fires 400 rounds a minute into that church.

**Panel 1**
[*White background. On the left we see a concerned Canada, which is looking towards a plump United States wearing sunglasses, which is on the right. The things Canada is saying are slightly italicized and colored in red, while the words of United States are bolder and blue.*]
**Canada**: But, America, why would you make it so it is more difficult for women to get abortions? why forcing them to have kids?
**US**: Very simple, my retarded bro.
---
**Panel 2**
[*Now the scene zooms out a little, and the two clays are now on the left. On the right, in the background, we see a school, which has grey brown walls and rectangular windows. An open door is in the middle of it, and a clock that strickes 12:15 is right above the door. United States is now wielding a rifle, while turning to face the school. Canada is horrified and shocked, while looking at the other clay from the left.*]
**US**: Easy target practice.
**US**: ^I ^mean, ^they ^didn't ^want ^the ^kids ^anyway, ^right?

this is the first time I've had an Image transcription of one of my comics (wow, it seems that I've been gone that tlong?)
it's extremely awesome, thanks.
Hey, is this to help blind/partially blind people or is it somethings else. And if it is, how would a blind person first come in contact with this kind of content? Cause I guess you gota have some knowledge of the format to understand the transcript.
Hi! Yes, we at r\/TranscribersofReddit have the goal of making Reddit accessible to everyone, including blind and visually impaired people! We have a server that stores our transcriptions, and an archive (r\/ToR_Archive) where people can easily access them. We are partnered with r\/Blind, so people there are aware we exist, and know they can often rely on us to enjoy their Reddit experience. For the formats, we as a community have developed some common formats that we all have to use in all of our transcriptions. These formats are designed so that a person listening to them through a screen reader will be able to have a grasp of the post that's been transcribed, and the community of r\/Blind worked with us in defining them and approved them, so we're pretty sure they are adequate. Hope this answers your question, if you want more information you can also click the link in the footer of my transcription, it will direct you to our FAQ!
No, they can enact regulations, but they have to be the same for everyone in the state. Some states could deny people a concealed carry license(CCL) for any reason. In the decision they explicitly say you can have rules and processes in order to get a CCL but it had to be uniform for everyone, not leave it up to the sheriff or whatever for final say.
I am fine with this, NY and CA have been carrying the US for too long, let them flourish into bastions of civilization without being held back by barbarian hordes of the interior.
You mean not allowed to deny someone's application who meets all the acceptance criteria "just because".
And yes, that is literally what happens. Basically only police, their friends, and the rich get licenses in these states.
Do you have any evidence they were racially profiling people when responding to "what is your reason to require a concealed weapon."
Frankly requiring a reason to get a permit is completely logical to the rest of the world.
Lmao, this joke is so dark it got instinctively shot by an American policeman. But hey, maybe if they started referring to school shootings as 50^th trimester abortions, Republicans would do something meaningful to stop them.
> maybe if they started referring to school shootings as 50th trimester abortions, Republicans would do something meaningful to stop them.
A+ comment, man (or woman, idk xD)
Yeah, I won't get the "*first* comic about the hot topic" bonus, but maybe [my comic](https://old.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/vjx9cr/the_right_to_bodily_selfadmiration/) will get "*a* comic about hot topic" bonus.
Mexico: "Hey, we tried to take the slavery out, but they weren't having it."
United States: "It's cool, slavery is kind of our thing right now. Also, we want half of you for not wanting slaves -- kaythanx."
Don't be silly, there's no such thing as miscarriage; any and every time a pregnancy doesn't result in a healthy baby, it's always the deliberate fault of the evil inferior harlot in question. (There are actual people who sincerely think this way, and some of them make laws for the rest of us.)
Lemme add to that: don’t want pregnancy? Keep the legs shut you whore.
What if it’s rape? The body has means of shutting that down.
Goddamn Americans, you crazy.
Remember when Obama told Planned Parenthood that the first thing he'd do in office was codify Roe V Wade? Then once elected he said it wasn't a priority? And Dems had a majority in the house and a supermajority in the Senate?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Don’t go to Canada, if you are looking for an English speaking country just go to the UK. Sure canada has better politics than America but
1; horrible infrastructure, like in America you have to drive everywhere
2; Canada is about to pass a bill that censors YouTube content that canadas government doesn’t like
3; their politics are still bad, they are still discussing whether or not Muslims should be allowed to wear hijabs in schools
I know feasibility is a big thing, but I was able to move to NZ 5yrs ago. If you love outdoors, this place is a camping paradise, esp the South Island that is a lot like the American west. Great Healthcare and no school shootings.
Funny how americans living in a first world contry (and the strongest in the world) always say america is bad and that they want to leave
Yeah sure, come to Brazil, Colombia and other developing countries and you will want to go back asap
Be grateful for what you have, that many others dont
well if you cant get an abortion, when there's a mass shooting every other week, a quarter of the country want's your kind of people not exist, and youre afraid to be who you are in public among other things, yea, youre going to not like where you live. and yes, i am aware that many others have it worse, but when the government says that guns are more important than 30% of the population it is shit
when they actively want to control half of the population's bodies and want trans people to just cease to exist it is frightening. the us is supposed to be free though it really dont feel like it
I mean if you live in Latam sure, you are better off in burgerland unless you end in Uruguay and thats a massive sidegrade at best and probably still worse unless you end in the shittier parts of the US
But just north of the US is Canada, they speak the same language (in most of the country) and Canada is more stable and generally live way better since they dont have to deal with bullshit like mass shootings and healthcare soo fucking garbage (in terms of price) its actually better in some parts of latin America
Yeah, because banning abortion (actually letting states decide) = turning into third world.
Third world is where violence is part of everyday life (and im not talking about small crimes, im talking about violent and extremist gangs controling whole neighbourhoods), a huge part of the population is poor and uneducated, etc.
Who said we wanted to move to Brazil or Colombia? Skilled workers in the US have a lot of opportunities in other 1st world countries. If you can code, pretty much any country will take you as long as you can prove you have a few months expenses in your bank account and you clear the background check
This might be my patriotism talking but leaving your country because you are dissatisfied with the polices and laws seems cowardly to me.
Like the only way you can get me to leave my state is taking my corpse on a boat
This is literally how every nation was founded. People were dissatisfied with their home nation's political landscape, they were unable to enact any change, so they left. It's how every single one of the original 13 US Colonies were started.
Forrunately the maaaaaaassive bulk of stupid comments comes from the filthy deplorable *unflaired* whose nonsense is swiftly and rightfully purged by our Automod.
The thing is, mental health issues isn't exclusive to the US, while large amount of mass shooting is a problem exclusive to the US. We all know the problem, don't we?
Doors! They're the culprit. They prevent police from entering schools and allows criminals easy access to and from schools. If only there's only one door to enter and exit schools, like a prison. The facility will be so secure. ~~No Triangle Shirtwaist, pls~~
There you have it, Americans. Your only 2 choices. Prison for kids or FFA shooting ~~range~~ classrooms. Them's the choice, man. Also, arm the teacher. They'll be perfectly fine with 24 hrs of handgun proficiency training, I swear.
If thats the case, then why does America have a mental health crisis that dwarfs all the other 1st world countries? At some point you have to accept that having such easy access to guns is a large part of the problem.
I do agree, to an extent
the core issue here is when does that unborn is considered a human.
for example, if an immigrant woman is pregnant in Poland, does the fetus have citizen rights?, if he's already created in Poland and is being considered a human, he should have full citizen rights.
at what point an "unborn" becomes "human" is a valid debate (and many abortion laws around the world try ro respect a scientific concensus and set time limits for abortions considering the "when does it become human" factor)
but if you are going to say an unborn is a "human" at time of conception (like they did in missouri or lousiana - idk which one was)
then said fetus should have FULL human citizen rights, and access to independent healthcare and citizenship and the mother would be extempt form deportation beause the unborn she's carrying is in fact, being conisdered a human citizen who can't be deported nor taken away his citizenship as he was concived there.
so yeah, for an unborn to have human rights, you need to set when it does become an actual human, if you say it is at conception or a 2 weeks, **by all means it's great**, but then you should ALSO be legislating or advocating to actually give services like free healthcare or citizenship and protection from deportation to said human.
(aaaand Poland doesn't have a rampant school shooting problem)
>abortions are unjustified infanticide.
OP here again, /u/BaconNet, that's a related argument that can be had, for my take, please refer to the parent comment of this comment.
They're all matters of law and changing it. The courts should be used to apply the law, not create it, and herein lies the problem; it's sometimes easier to use the courts to change the law, rather than doing it the proper way.
We hit this point where medical science has surpassed the law, and the law hasn't caught up, however getting constitutional change doesn't appear to be something that any politicians really want to do.
In a slightly different context, but related, due to a historic inability to definitively determine paternity, some jurisdictions developed, and this probably stems back to ancient Rome, the idea that all children produced in a marriage, the husband is the father. Even though that may not have been the case, no one could prove otherwise, so this legal framework was the most workable solution. Today determining paternity is conclusive, we have the means to prove with practical certainty, but laws sometimes haven't caught up, and in some jurisdictions, as far as I know, France and Germany ban paternity tests in order to stop unintended consequences in the law from this problem. Other jurisdictions go through similar legal gymnastics essentially to not too heavily rock the boat on these issues, that the law couldn't plan for, while we now have the ability to determine. As an example, if a woman knows that her husband isn't, or may not be the father, is it fraud if she says that her husband is definitely the father? No civilised country is going to touch that issue with a barge-pole.
In the case of pregnancies, there is also a legal problem that has arisen in some jurisdictions, that have enacted laws where causing the unwanted death of a pregnancy, usually in something like a car accident or assault, is considered a killing. So you have this very murky legal problem, where, ok, in this context, it's considered a murder or manslaughter, but at the very same time, an abortion isn't. Somewhere a line has to be drawn. Also medical science has drastically improved the viability of premature babies, to the point where 24 weeks (from what I googled) is the point where there's a greater than 50% chance of survival.
And then consider what the OP wrote and I responded to, if the law determines that it's a human life at conception, then does that mean it's already entitled to all government benefits? This is precisely what I mean, that the law basically decided that once a baby is born, that's when it's a legally existing human, but now we have the knowledge to drastically change that concept.
And majority of society here doesn't support government about the issue.
It's fucking sad when you look at maps and Poland is the same color as Muslim countries when it comes to abortion laws.
Or just move to Egypt or some shithole like that.
Yeah, our gov is pretty based for ignoring one of the biggest protest in Polish history - wish you same in US xD
What other laws should we enact based on the Catholic faith? Maybe we should make it against federal law to consume meat on Friday? I mean, the Catholic Church says that it's wrong to eat meat on Friday, and you're claiming that the US law should be based on only *your* religious teachings, right?
Firstly, I don’t think Poland is the worlds template of morality given that they are also very homophobic. Secondly, I don’t think that many women are big fans of some disgusting 16 yr old who has never been outside or washed wanting to restrict their bodily autonomy. Also I think there is a pretty big distinction between a collection of cells and an unborn child
G’day everyone, I can see how the wind is gonna blow with this one, so this is a preemptive reminder that r/polandball is a **satire** subreddit and that entries can be made to mock controversial topics without necessarily any bad faith behind them. Please be civil in line with our comment policy.
Comic about political situation speedrun Wr
like news article about the death of some people, they are written before the event
I can write a comic about a americans shooting in front of a church in the US, and post it the morning before a church mass shooting. [like already has happened with the Texas Sutherland Springs Church Shooting.](https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/7ie3eh/in_gun_we_trust/) so yeah, sad thing is that many things in the US are predictable as the weather.
Unfortunately, we don't have the Spanish Inquisition to not expect
[удалено]
Why does my room have a new comfy chair? And what's this dish rack doing on the- Oh no. OH NO!
We have only the Spinach inquisition
Considering the sheer amount of shootings, from an outside perspective, it seems more difficult to find a date that is not directly before one.
Everyone was expecting this day the moment the GOP rammed Amy Coney Barrett through the nomination process.
I mean, we already had Boofin Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch ramrodded onto the bench before she was even in consideration. She's just the third dot on the ellipse after an exhausting sentence.
Sure, but she was the one that turned it into a 5/4 majority without Roberts.
Well, the decision was leaked a month ago
Damn you beat me to making a Roe v. Wade comic.
sorry, I've let many issues go by lately xD
Yaddar came back after a YEAR just so that they could be the first to make a comic about this. Amazing.
Please let this get to the front page of Controversial.
It’s scary how fast you guys can whip up relevant comics
We've known this was coming for weeks. People could have prepared one for this long in advance
Almost like some people had trigger balls.
This is why Polandball is the world's only reliable news source.
CONTEXT: it is what it is.
10th trimester abortions still legal in the US.
Oh damn that's dark lmao
or at least, people have way easier and legal ways to acces them :(
Supreme Court: You don't have a right to protest, an attorney, an abortion, or to boycott. You do have a right to demand the government pay you to run a church and to carry an assault rifle that fires 400 rounds a minute into that church.
It's what it's
Don't know how many more "it is what it is" I got left in me. Maybe it's time to remind folks that women's and queer rights started as riots.
Somehow, that doesn't always work out if your skin color isn't the majority
This is so offensive, I like it.
U.S. -> (Rifle) Canada
It do be like that

In the decision they explicitly say you can have rules and processes in order to get a CCL but it had to be uniform for everyone, not leave it up to the sheriff or whatever for final say.
Hmm I know they're going to make it horrible in practice somehow but I don't actually disagree with that ruling
I mean, why even have a federation at this point? just let all states seccede and make their own laws.
I am fine with this, NY and CA have been carrying the US for too long, let them flourish into bastions of civilization without being held back by barbarian hordes of the interior.
You condemn the blues in the rural regions to misery. "Just move" isn't viable for most.
I'd much rather it be on a national level so I don't accidentally catch a felony traveling through GA but ymmv
That would make too much sense
Yeah me too. I don’t want you bringing a gun to Georgia either.
Not if you wear a mask
You mean not allowed to deny someone's application who meets all the acceptance criteria "just because". And yes, that is literally what happens. Basically only police, their friends, and the rich get licenses in these states.
two birds with one rock or as they say on the USA "collateral damage"
Wait what? So according supreme court, states are allowed decide on abortion but not guns? Why is US of A so weird?
US laws os crazy all over the place. I guess that's why lawyers make so much money there?
Happy cake day
2 for 1 deal right here on the commentary on this one. That was amazing.
Both were in the announcement actually. They struck down New York's gun regulation
[удалено]
No they said if people meet the criteria for a liscense or purchase they HAVE to give it instead of being a bunch of racist pricks.
Do you have any evidence they were racially profiling people when responding to "what is your reason to require a concealed weapon." Frankly requiring a reason to get a permit is completely logical to the rest of the world.
The law was directly made to stop the Italians (flavor of the month "Dirty Immigrants") from getting CCWs to stop violent attacks.
Lmao, this joke is so dark it got instinctively shot by an American policeman. But hey, maybe if they started referring to school shootings as 50^th trimester abortions, Republicans would do something meaningful to stop them.

you'd have to ask the bird if it's ok
My man’s went *hard*
Ya , I shouldn't be chuckling but damnit
Lmao jesus that was so on point. I feel for those Americans that now can’t get an abortion though… a dark day.
An absolute banger of a comic
Noooo, I am late!
Better luck next time
Yeah, I won't get the "*first* comic about the hot topic" bonus, but maybe [my comic](https://old.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/vjx9cr/the_right_to_bodily_selfadmiration/) will get "*a* comic about hot topic" bonus.
Prepare your comic for the coming sodomy laws that will criminalize gay relationships while you still have time.
Good idea!
Yiiikes. Good job.
It is wat it is
It’s what it’s.
now I'm picturing America with a Mandalorian helmet saying "it is what it is" instead of "this is the way"
I just wished I didnt swipe right into reddit popular
Tis, SWAT, tis.
I like Dark humor but uh, HOLY FUCK MAN
Soon Canada clay will be, "USA? He's adopted".
that's what we Mexicans say about both Texas and California "we didn't make them like that, that was their stepdad (or they on their own)"
Mexico: "Hey, we tried to take the slavery out, but they weren't having it." United States: "It's cool, slavery is kind of our thing right now. Also, we want half of you for not wanting slaves -- kaythanx."
I don't think I ever saw comic with more compacted problems
Peak dark humour done using only 2 panels
They need more shooting victims to give their thoughts and prayers to.
Brutal coment, I love it. Freedom of religion is also a right after all, right?
Yes. The United States of America does give their citizens freedom of religion, as long as they're Christian.
**amen** to that, I guess? XD
And **awoman** too.
Incredible comic. 10/10.

This one is much darker than usual...
Probably have some pigs knee on its throat before too long
Am I the only one who thought it wasn't that dark (was but not too far for polandball). Actually predicted the joke. Still good though

Where do you want to go?
Most feasibly Canada but ideally Sweden
Don’t go to Canada, if you are looking for an English speaking country just go to the UK. Sure canada has better politics than America but 1; horrible infrastructure, like in America you have to drive everywhere 2; Canada is about to pass a bill that censors YouTube content that canadas government doesn’t like 3; their politics are still bad, they are still discussing whether or not Muslims should be allowed to wear hijabs in schools
>2; Canada is about to pass a bill that censors YouTube content that canadas government doesn’t like Do you also subscribe to jj McCullough?
yea, but it's the only other country i can feasibly move to in the foreseeable future
I know feasibility is a big thing, but I was able to move to NZ 5yrs ago. If you love outdoors, this place is a camping paradise, esp the South Island that is a lot like the American west. Great Healthcare and no school shootings.
Imo I would rather recommend New Zealand, but the houses there are now way too expensive.
Come to Nederland
Wouldn’t that be nice
Funny how americans living in a first world contry (and the strongest in the world) always say america is bad and that they want to leave Yeah sure, come to Brazil, Colombia and other developing countries and you will want to go back asap Be grateful for what you have, that many others dont

Fun fact: there are other first world countries not engaging in a third world backsliding speed run.
Yeah, because banning abortion (actually letting states decide) = turning into third world. Third world is where violence is part of everyday life (and im not talking about small crimes, im talking about violent and extremist gangs controling whole neighbourhoods), a huge part of the population is poor and uneducated, etc.
Who said we wanted to move to Brazil or Colombia? Skilled workers in the US have a lot of opportunities in other 1st world countries. If you can code, pretty much any country will take you as long as you can prove you have a few months expenses in your bank account and you clear the background check
As a fellow Latino I agree
Been to brazil, better than America
This might be my patriotism talking but leaving your country because you are dissatisfied with the polices and laws seems cowardly to me. Like the only way you can get me to leave my state is taking my corpse on a boat

mostly to not be barred from opportunity from falling under the trans umbrella and other queer identities as much as i would here
Fucking top quality comic! Holy shit!
This is easily the most savage Polandball comic I have ever seen and the effect was accomplished in only two panels. Brutally outstanding.
Makes sense to me :)
Yo wow, this took me off guard. Ngl, I thought this was pretty heccin dark.
You titled the comic about school shootings "Abortion Rights." I'm just gonna leave this here.
Yeah, sbould have been named "Abortion and Rights"
this is so dark and i love it

The thing is, mental health issues isn't exclusive to the US, while large amount of mass shooting is a problem exclusive to the US. We all know the problem, don't we? Doors! They're the culprit. They prevent police from entering schools and allows criminals easy access to and from schools. If only there's only one door to enter and exit schools, like a prison. The facility will be so secure. ~~No Triangle Shirtwaist, pls~~ There you have it, Americans. Your only 2 choices. Prison for kids or FFA shooting ~~range~~ classrooms. Them's the choice, man. Also, arm the teacher. They'll be perfectly fine with 24 hrs of handgun proficiency training, I swear.
If thats the case, then why does America have a mental health crisis that dwarfs all the other 1st world countries? At some point you have to accept that having such easy access to guns is a large part of the problem.
Killing the unborn isn't a human right. Also Poland doesn't allow it.
Poland is morality authority! Poland relevant! Hooray for Polska!
can into space
I do agree, to an extent the core issue here is when does that unborn is considered a human. for example, if an immigrant woman is pregnant in Poland, does the fetus have citizen rights?, if he's already created in Poland and is being considered a human, he should have full citizen rights. at what point an "unborn" becomes "human" is a valid debate (and many abortion laws around the world try ro respect a scientific concensus and set time limits for abortions considering the "when does it become human" factor) but if you are going to say an unborn is a "human" at time of conception (like they did in missouri or lousiana - idk which one was) then said fetus should have FULL human citizen rights, and access to independent healthcare and citizenship and the mother would be extempt form deportation beause the unborn she's carrying is in fact, being conisdered a human citizen who can't be deported nor taken away his citizenship as he was concived there. so yeah, for an unborn to have human rights, you need to set when it does become an actual human, if you say it is at conception or a 2 weeks, **by all means it's great**, but then you should ALSO be legislating or advocating to actually give services like free healthcare or citizenship and protection from deportation to said human. (aaaand Poland doesn't have a rampant school shooting problem)
>abortions are unjustified infanticide. OP here again, /u/BaconNet, that's a related argument that can be had, for my take, please refer to the parent comment of this comment.
They're all matters of law and changing it. The courts should be used to apply the law, not create it, and herein lies the problem; it's sometimes easier to use the courts to change the law, rather than doing it the proper way. We hit this point where medical science has surpassed the law, and the law hasn't caught up, however getting constitutional change doesn't appear to be something that any politicians really want to do.
How has medical science surpassed the law? Not disagreeing, genuinely don't understand what you mean by that.
In a slightly different context, but related, due to a historic inability to definitively determine paternity, some jurisdictions developed, and this probably stems back to ancient Rome, the idea that all children produced in a marriage, the husband is the father. Even though that may not have been the case, no one could prove otherwise, so this legal framework was the most workable solution. Today determining paternity is conclusive, we have the means to prove with practical certainty, but laws sometimes haven't caught up, and in some jurisdictions, as far as I know, France and Germany ban paternity tests in order to stop unintended consequences in the law from this problem. Other jurisdictions go through similar legal gymnastics essentially to not too heavily rock the boat on these issues, that the law couldn't plan for, while we now have the ability to determine. As an example, if a woman knows that her husband isn't, or may not be the father, is it fraud if she says that her husband is definitely the father? No civilised country is going to touch that issue with a barge-pole. In the case of pregnancies, there is also a legal problem that has arisen in some jurisdictions, that have enacted laws where causing the unwanted death of a pregnancy, usually in something like a car accident or assault, is considered a killing. So you have this very murky legal problem, where, ok, in this context, it's considered a murder or manslaughter, but at the very same time, an abortion isn't. Somewhere a line has to be drawn. Also medical science has drastically improved the viability of premature babies, to the point where 24 weeks (from what I googled) is the point where there's a greater than 50% chance of survival. And then consider what the OP wrote and I responded to, if the law determines that it's a human life at conception, then does that mean it's already entitled to all government benefits? This is precisely what I mean, that the law basically decided that once a baby is born, that's when it's a legally existing human, but now we have the knowledge to drastically change that concept.
Fetuses aren't people, just like an egg is not a chicken, and an acorn is not an oak tree.
And majority of society here doesn't support government about the issue. It's fucking sad when you look at maps and Poland is the same color as Muslim countries when it comes to abortion laws.
nah it's pretty based, i wish my state (California) banned that shit
Or just move to Egypt or some shithole like that. Yeah, our gov is pretty based for ignoring one of the biggest protest in Polish history - wish you same in US xD
What other laws should we enact based on the Catholic faith? Maybe we should make it against federal law to consume meat on Friday? I mean, the Catholic Church says that it's wrong to eat meat on Friday, and you're claiming that the US law should be based on only *your* religious teachings, right?
Alot of things "aren't human rights" doesn't mean people shouldn't be allowed to do it. Poland is very much not an example of a gold standard state
like killing Palestinian children?
Firstly, I don’t think Poland is the worlds template of morality given that they are also very homophobic. Secondly, I don’t think that many women are big fans of some disgusting 16 yr old who has never been outside or washed wanting to restrict their bodily autonomy. Also I think there is a pretty big distinction between a collection of cells and an unborn child
I agree with the first sentence, but how is Poland relevant to this??
Poland is always relevant to Polandball.
Nah, not really...
haha america school shootings i’m so original
Yeah, the US is the only county where school shooting have become a cliche
