Can you explain what “orphan crushing machine” means and how allowing a woman to terminate a non-viable that was threatening the life and her future fertility would contribute to it?
Orphan-Crushing Machine is a metaphor for “heartwarming” news stories about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue. The catchphrase and metaphor satirize these stories by comparing them to a story of a person raising money to keep 200 orphans from being crushed where nobody questions why an orphan-crushing machine exists in the first place.
I took it as “It’s depressing that the legal system was involved in this. It’s not uplifting that the judge is making decisions about whether she’s allowed to get a medical procedure.”

Did you read the article? What is happening is horrific and is still eligible for the state to attempt an overturn or a delay. The whole scenario is disgusting.
I’m glad she got this win, but nothing about what is happening and why it’s happening is uplifting.
Ahhh new to me meme, appreciate the info. Glad I wasn’t reading what I thought I was cause good lord I’ve had my faith in other people tested too much today

Also, Jesus bud. You assumed I’m not only against abortion but pro suffered birth and yet, somehow hypocritical because I’m pro animal euthanasia from my comment? Lol how?
No. They are saying that it is fucking pathetic that a judge was required to allow it to happen. Like if they’re is news that someone raised $100k on GoFundMe for necessary surgery: it’s nuts that that was even required to happen.
This isn’t uplifting, this is an orphan crushing machine
I’m confused.

They are referring to this meme.
Never saw that before. It’s depressing, and true. Such a perfect phrase.
I’m shocked it’s only three years old, feels so much longer than that.
It’s been a long 3 years.
Thank you, that is very helpful. I had not seen that and was lost without the context.

So wait.
Killing a mortally wounded animal is a mercy kill, but killing a unhealthy baby that will die anyway is “an orphan crushing machine”?
Are you actually advocating for that child to suffer and die anyway?

I think they meant that America is an orphan crushing machine.
