"Loss" but it's a Red State

Oh fuck that's good. Oh man, there needs to be a word to describe something like this. Where it's brilliant but deeply upsetting troubling and realistic at the same time.
- Irreverent?
- Culture Jamming?
Pretty hard to "think of the children," like Republicans keep demanding we do, when there are no children to give.
- They're erect when they think of children.
Jesus Christ, Lemmy.
JFC this is horrifying and heartbreaking. But that's the reality for women in Republican-ruled U.S. states, they are being denied health care. The cruelty is intentional.
- Pro-Life!!!
  
  We're so Pro-Life that we'll risk your health and even let you die!
  
  And if you even attempt to seek medical care for this we'll kill you and the provider!
  
  BECAUSE WE'RE SO PRO-LIFE
What is the receptionist pointing at in the third panel and why?
- That's the exit. Because the woman is not inside.
  
  I still don't get it. He tries to get help, she points him to the exit. Huh?
Funny and horrifying.
Not in Kansas (thanks state supreme court)
I don't get why I ever liked that comic.
- Ctrl Alt Del was great when it was making jokes about games. Then after the year long home invasion arc, it turned into a soap opera and the core audience stopped reading it.
  
  There was a home invasion ark that lasted a year???
Well that was fucking dark.
"is this a red state?" is the "is this loss?" of real life
Texas has over a 50% increase in maternal fatality rates.
- Quit reminding me I need to leave this place.
  
  We all do/should. I don't know if it has gotten worse or if I have just started to realize how bad it actually is but, this state sucks in a lot of ways.
Jesus. That's almost as dark as the reality of things.
- It's actually spot on the reality of things. Women are dying now in red states from ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages.
Is this God’s Will?
- Only if it happens to someone else.
- The evangelicals mostly say "yes", but only because they don't give a shit about women.
  
  That's not correct. They actively hate women and want them to die.
Did CAD publish that himself? No, right?
- Is this your first "Loss" moment? I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but it seems like you've stumbled across a massive meme.
  
  The original creator has accepted the meme treatment of his original comic, so I wouldn’t consider it beyond the pale for him to do a bit of self parody for a current political issue.
  
  I mean they've clearly seen it before, just asking if this version came from the same creator as the original. I wondered the same thing. Also, way to not answer the question in a very verbose way lol
Oof.

  I'm annoyed that I can't see it.
  
  What am I looking at?
- It's loss, but micro
  
  Micro dosing loss
Sheesh 😬
