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
Funny and horrifying.
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?
He’s looking for the woman in the hospital. The person at the desk is saying she’s outside.
The original Loss comic is about a miscarriage. The husband goes to the hospital, is directed to his wife’s room, and he has to cope with the loss of the pregnancy with his wife. The reason this 4-panel comic became a meme is largely because this was a departure from the previous tone of the webcomic it came from, and was used as a “fridging” trope, so people tend to make fun of it (but I digress).
In a red state, the hospital would refuse treatment for a miscarriage out of fear of being criminally charged with performing an abortion for helping terminate a non-viable pregnancy. They would turn the patient away, and only intervene with the patient is bleeding out and dying, but by that point it’s usually too late.
What is depicted in this comic is a real-world example of what happens to women in red states who suffer miscarriages. They are denied medical treatment, and have literally bled out and died in their cars in the parking lot because nobody would help them.
1 in 5 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage. A lot of women have died completely unnecessary deaths in red states since Roe v. Wade was struck down.
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.
Deservedly so
“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.
Did CAD publish that himself? No, right?
No.
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.
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
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.
They don’t want them to die immediately, though.
They’re supposed to keep their mouth shut and push out babies until they die…
Don’t forget sandwiches!

I’m annoyed that I can’t see it.
What am I looking at?
I don’t think it’s displaying properly on my phone but I swear it looks like bad apple
Loss but ASCII.
Annoying ass dots on a screen.
It’s loss, but micro
Micro dosing loss
Oof.
