After the controversial SCOTUS ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade, many states rushed to severely limit or ban access to reproductive healthcare choices, declaring themselves pro-life as mostly Evangelical Christian constituents wanted.

Utah is one of the states that banned abortion outright except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the pregnant person.

Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah has a student population that is almost 100% Mormon. Many of their families are among the loudest and most determined pro-life voices—staunchly opposed to contraceptives and abortion with the belief life begins at conception and all of this is God's plan and should play out as such.

Allegedly.

In theory.

Like in hypothetical situations.

For other people.

For themselves and in the real world, though ...

A video, posted by TikTok user @lexi.99, is a clip pulled from a longer YouTube video. The full clip is over 11 minutes long, but the condensed for TikTok version tells the story well enough.

A BYU student was paid $500 to prank call his Mormon pro-life mother and try to convince her he got a stripper pregnant.

It didn't take long to convince her of that part—she didn't seem to have any issue believing her conservative Mormon son would have sex with strippers.

Instead, she immediately began questioning the imaginary woman in the situation, asking how she could possibly know she was pregnant already which means this woman, this mother, understands it often takes weeks before you know you're pregnant.

A caption in the TikTok video points out how many states have rules in place that expect a woman to know at or before 4 weeks.

After dwelling on the time-line for a moment, the mother immediately advises her son to tell the woman to get an abortion.

His face realizing his "pro-life" mother was very pro-abortion when it came to anything that actually impacted her...

The young man, shocked at how quickly and nonchalantly his mother tossed abortion out as the solution—regardless of legality, the strong moral and religious stance she's allegedly held or accessibility issues since this is Utah and clearly not a case of rape or incest—questioned if she was serious.

"Mom, no!" he gasped.

Without missing a beat, pro-lifer mom confirmed she was serious.

Then she asked where he found a stripper, throwing a little extra disgust on it as if the imaginary woman carrying her imaginary grandchild was something to be spat on. He tried making up a story, but eventually his shock got the better of him and he told her the truth about the prank.

Mom hung up wordlessly.

The clip was reposted to TikTok as a reminder "that rich White conservatives will ALWAYS have access to safe abortions, and have no problem utilizing this privilege when it impacts them."

The hypocrisy was so real and deserved to be called out.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
