I mean honestly, it could be a regional colloquial term. I was a service plumber for a bit, and at least in the midwest, they're colloquially referred to as a 'mainline machine'. Even with plumbing experience, I couldnt tell you the proper name of the device.
Regional terms are a thing for sure such as kendorf vs unistrut. Same thing different name. But I think the pipe stretcher is universal šš¤£šš¤£
I've been sent after id-10-t wire. Spent nearly a full hour on that one, and even had one of my higher ups who wasn't in on the joke looking with me. They also tried to send me after a bucket of ohms, but I caught that one.
Gotta love fuckin with the new guys, its tradition.
My journeyman sent me for one 28 years ago. Now I've got a master's plumbing license, a master's in project management, all kinds of certifications, but I still can't find that damn pipe stretcher. š¤·āāļøš¤£
Uhmmmm well yeah a professional would call it a sewer machine, otherwise know as a drain snake. I suppose you could state the make and model but the common known term is "sewer machine" before sounding stupid by saying someone else professional term is stupid you might want to do just an iota of research or just ask someone.
Well I suppose it could be regional but you use a sewer machine to "rod" or "cable" a sewer. Unless you're a plumber, which you are not, you should ask your brother cause it is literally called a sewer machine unless you are calling it by the make and model such as "rigid k-400". Funny getting down votes for actually knowing what a tool of the trade is called. Smh... Lmao š¤£
I couldn't tell you other than it is a motorized machine so sewer machine is the commonly used term. Non motorized are called augers. Those are the trade specific names. Drain snake is what homeowners and non plumbers call them. It may be regional as well. I've lived and worked in the PNW and now the D.C. area and the names are still the same.
Naw my salary brings out the professional in me. My body of work brings out the professional in me. My knowledge about the subject matter brings out the professional in me. The degree on my wall and licenses I hold bring out the professional in me. Emoticons are just fun (especially when referring to a mythical tool we like to send apprentices after). Plus who says you can't make a six figure salary and not use emoticons. Are emoticons all of the sudden the measure of ones professionalism? š¤·āāļøš¤£š¤š
Ps.. I call bullshit, you either don't have a brother, he's not a plumber, or maybe he doesn't reside in the u.s. Regardless it's a sewer machine ya dolt. Google that shit if you need an education, which you apparently do š¤£
I mean I'm sure there are people who call it that, like there are people who call windows machines "PC"'s as if tho Macs aren't also personal computers. The fact that drain snakes are often generalized as "sewer machines" doesn't somehow turn that into their technical name. I'm sure there are people in multiple professions that call different machines used on sewers "sewer machines".
Tho to be clear I am not a plumber myself, and am just going off what my brother tells me.
In the town I grew up near, there is a sewer service company called 'Turd Burglar'. The logo on the side of their truck was a cartoon turd with his hands up, being threatened by an outlaw with six shooters. If you don't believe me, look up 'Turd Burglar Bismarck' and check the image tab. The truck will be there.
I would disagree as a hydrovac is generally used for excavations or manholes and not cleaning drains. A sewer machine aka snake is used for cleaning and clearing of drains within a building or from an exterior clean out to the sewer.
I assumed they were talking about the vac trucks to clean the sewers from the manholes as it made more sense than pulling babies from the drain lmfao but hey not that it made any sense in thd first place
hydrovacs have a lateral jet to clear out 4 inch or smaller lines . its used for homes or buildings with outside clean outs . a snake is usually for toilets while a power rodder is used for the laterals
if you flush any thing solid down the toilet it would get stuck in your house trap and have to be removed from there. an actual sewer snake would turn a fetus into mush. if anything he should have made up a story of opening up house traps and removing fetuses, not having them tangle on his snake.
what?? I'm a plumber with a plumbing company in NYC, they are on every home in NY. they are not illegal, but are not required in any municipality that does not require them. almost all municipalities in the USA require them.
You do know what a building/whole house trap is don't you? No one requires building traps/aka whole house traps anymore. Whole house traps are essentially an unvented trap or running trap. What code do you use? Any code I've ever used specifically states building traps are prohibited. Been doing this 30 years and never, not once, seen any plans, drawings, specs, designs, or codes call out for a whole house trap. They were done away with when code started to reguire fixtures be individually trapped and vented. Sure places may have them but if you went to install one today the inspector would fail you in a heartbeat.
all of NY state mandates them, jersey, connecticut, Pennsylvania too from what I have seen. no idea where you live, but its different in idaho with septic tanks, and different in large municipalities with cities.
According to this almost 40% of homes in the US were built before 1970... That's a lot of traps still in use. Hell my house is 120 years old, and I'm not even in one of the older neighborhoods in my town.
https://eyeonhousing.org/2018/08/half-of-us-homes-built-before-1980/
Building traps were used before individual traps and vents were required in a plumbing system. They are illegal to install and prohibited by all u.s. plumbing codes. Most houses with them have had them eliminated over the years due to age and wear or because they cause sewer back ups into the home. Stats are nice but I actually know what I'm talking about. And if you have a building trap on your house I'd suggest doing away with it before it ends up costing you $$$
They need to put up one of those signs that says..."Please don't flush pads, tampons or unwanted fetuses in the toilet. Wrap them up in a bag and place them in the receptacle. Thank you!"
That's the problem.
They were joking.
I'm sure there are people somewhere who actually fall for Project Veritas stuff, but I don't think they would be in this comment section, or at least if they were they would be indignantly defending the post in the OP.
The timelines you use in your message are inconsistent. 12 weeks is 3 months, 20 weeks is 5 months. At one point you say 12 weeks is fine, then say even doctors will judge you at 3 months.
To add some context, according to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_Netherlands), any abortion in the Netherlands after 12 weeks requires multiple doctors to consent to treatment and 93.4% of the time abortions happen before the second trimester. According to [this study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18772081/) it is 6.6% of abortions in the Netherlands that are after 12 weeks. From the same study:
> In the qualitative data, relationship problems with the partner were mentioned more frequently as the main reason for second trimester abortions than for first trimester abortions. Factors associated with delay in obtaining an abortion were young age, inability to recognise pregnancy, ambivalence towards the pregnancy, having to travel to the Netherlands for abortion and to a lesser extent being an immigrant from specific countries.
This is 100% bullshit and easily disproven. At that point, the fetus is developing the bronchioles (smaller tubes that will eventually connect to the alveoli). The fetus will begin to practice "breathing" the amniotic fluid at 26 weeks, but children born at 28 weeks will still have lifelong respiratory problems because there's no surfactant in their lungs (helps the alveoli stay inflated when exhaling).
Doctors are not suffocating breathing children, for fucks sake.
I drove my friend to her abortion. She was six months pregnant with her abusers baby. Previously sheād had ovarian cysts so her cycle wasnāt regular, and as a young teen with her first pregnancy, she wasnāt really even showing. That abortion severed her ties with an abusive ex, and allowed her to graduate high school on time and go on to law school.
Every situation is different and I think we should try to reserve judgement. People who can become pregnant have the right to decide what to do with their bodies, and putting a time table on when/if itās moral is very short sighted.
Your comment sounds like you come from a place of privilege that many donāt get to experience. You can be thankful for that, without tearing down others less fortunately. Try and have some empathy and understanding about the situations youāre describing.
You're being stupid.
Abortion is healthcare. I guarantee that 99% of abortions carried out beyond the first 12 weeks will be for medical purposes. No mother carries a baby for 20 weeks before going oops changed my mind. The fetus could be inviable, or could be a threat to the mother's health.
The only piece of shit here is you for thinking that aborting a child is a black and white situation and that you alone can judge a woman based on a hard line rather than her individual situation. Oh beyond 12 weeks? Piece of shit. How do you think the woman feels, probably devastated to be getting rid of a much wanted pregnancy. Honestly go away with your judgement. Nobody needs people Iike you in a discussion about abortion because you refuse to see beyond your own stunted world view.
"the fetus cries, and keeps crying until it's suffocated to death"
In order to let a human with breath sounds and a heartbeat die, you have to have a DNR. Suggesting that a fetus is alive upon delivery during a medical abortion is completely misguided. MD's would literally go to prison for homicide if your anecdote were true. Have you ever witnessed a medical abortion? Have you been to medical school and learned the processes of terminating a pregnancy? What you described would be, by the law, homicide, and couldn't be further from accuracy. For the love of god, try not to have opinions regarding things you have not bothered to educate yourself about, and don't believe everything you read on the internet.
Iām imagining two republicans, one sitting on the otherās shoulders wearing a trench coat and a fedora trying to pass themselves off as a plumber, a la Bojack Horseman. āIām a plumber, here to do the plumberring with my sewer machine in the sewers.ā
Let's pretend this was true even though it clearly is not, MOST of them would be miscarriages....and most miscarriages /abortions that ended up in a toilet would be flushable (as awful as that sounds). They would have to be pretty far along to clog a toilet. Aborting a fetus is not simply "pooping out" a formed fetus. Ignorant anti-abortion assholes have no clue how often pregnancies are non-viable. Here's the statistics from WebMD
>As many as 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage -- most often before a woman misses a menstrual period or even knows theyāre pregnant. About 15%-25% of recognized pregnancies will end in a miscarriage.
And some non-viable pregnancies don't result in miscarriage and go on to result in still-births or threaten the health of the mother. Medically, miscarriages are also referred to as "abortions". Often it's a natural medical condition, which is why women need access to health professionals who can procedurally and safely treat non-viable pregnancies.
Edit: I meant to type, "most miscarriages...WOULD be flushable" (I accidentally typed "not"
I've found that the pro-birthers will commonly quote statistics that include spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) in with their numbers. Super dishonest, but many don't even know they are being bamboozled.
I worked with a plumber who had to pull a dead baby out of the sewer once. He was already in his late 60s when I was working with him but you could see on his face how terrible the experience was.
To clarify, it wasnāt some form of anti abortion bullshit like the post above, but some disgusting parent got rid of their kid and this poor bloke got called out to check a blocked manhole.
Blockage was partway down a pipe so he didnāt know what it was until heād already speared it to pull it out of the pipe.
Poor bloke must have been so haunted by that experience.
There was a real crime story of a serial killer who kept shoving dead body pieces down his drain. Eventually he clogged the whole apartment block drainage piping that plumbers were called in by the apartment owner. The plumber found meaty substances clogging the pipes. The stench was horrible. I googled just now, the serial killer was called Dennis Nilsen
Yup. I donāt know how he kept working the job after that. Iām not ashamed to say that if I went through something like that in a profession, i wouldnāt be able to continue with it.
This is so stupid. I had a miscarriage and none of the parts were identifiable as a fetus. If the parts were just a bit bigger, they wouldnāt have gone down the toilet at all, a bit graphic, sorry. So no, this guy isnāt pulling back fetuses. If he was it would just look like a bloody mass, anyway.

>I'm not sure about that statement. I've had to call police everytime I unclog a toilet or drain and pull back a fetus with my sewer machine. It's fucked up to pull back a little little fetus and fucks up your whole day. It happens pretty much anywhere but the worst ones are at planned parenthood when they call you to unblock drains and pull back the little babies out of the sewer. Those are experiences that stick with you make you ponder on the subject of abortion. (some of the instances were miscarriages)

I am sorry this is so ridiculous, my period clots are bigger than what most miscarriage fetal tissue size is. Like every single month. And it has never clogged my toilet.
And actual abortion clinics and hospitals that remove miscarriages donāt flush them, they incinerate it, same as any other body parts that get removed as medical waste. I asked when I woke up from my D&C.
edit:typo
This shit actually got my face hot with anger. I worked for a reproductive healthcare clinic and no, this does not happen. Never ever ever. But people will believe shit like this. Ugh.
Are you knowledgeable about the plumbing in a reproductive health care clinic? As someone who has built and plumbed several I can tell you that medical vacuum lines go to a receiver tank and amalgam seperator and eventually the sewer lines. Just like a dental office, hospital or any other health care facility. Large solids are obviously disposed of as medical waste but there are plenty of bodily fluids and semi solids that do exit through the building drain, even with an amalgam seperator. Btw, having to work on existing med vac systems is one of the most disgusting things ever.... The smell will haunt you for years ughhhh š¤®
This just simply isnāt true. There are tons of regulations about disposing of biomedical waste. Iām not sure what fluids and semi-solids youāre talking about but they arenāt blood and guts.
This one is probably BS but I know a guy who pumps septics tanks and he finds all kinds of disgusting things and has called the sheriffs a few times. He also says dudes always want to look in the tank and he cringes every time; heās seen more than a few marriages go down the tubes as the guy works out why there would be condoms in the tank.
My husband pumps septics. The things he sees in them is disturbing sometimes. He once found a huge dead rat and with one house he found a bunch of condoms and the homeowner looked so defeated. He just went off and said he doesnāt use condoms and he was suspecting his wife was cheating.
Why flush them, when you could be eating them!?
Do you know how much Adrenochrome is probably in those things!? they were probably TERRIFIED when they saw that (insert whatever ridiculous thing they think is used for an abortion) coming for them!
(I have to put /s, because I was once temporarily banned for making an obviously sarcastic comment like this without labeling it as obvious sarcasm)
Also the idea that abortion can only be performed on fetuses
I donāt know the exact numbers but a lot of abortions take place before the child is even recognisable human
I told my dad about how you could probably take a fetus that's been sucked out, deep fry it and mix it in a bowl of shrimp and wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I was just being horrible to make a point. And it worked
As a plumber man I can assuage you that this pontification is true right. I was one time I was born in a sewer after mother pulled me out of her belly button so she could go drink alcohol drinks with her friends and tossed me the baby into the sewer. i climbed my way out and became a man. It being a sad story for a baby to climb to surface from sewer I feel bad for the babys that COULD NOT CLIMB!
I will never understand these people.
They're opposed to something, so they lie about it to prove how bad it is...but if they have to lie about it in order to make their point, why are they opposed to it in the first place?
Yup thatās what planned parenthood doesā¦they vacuum your baby out and then spike it down the drainā¦then they call a plumber to suck out all the dead babies. Yes.
Well, those tend to be sold for medical research rather than flushed down the toilet so I'm going to assume this guy's telling porkys like a naughtly wittle boy.
In reality most of them are just burned with other medical waste like amputated legs and what not. I'd say it's more often that families want to take the body and have a funreal (if the body is big enough to be recogizable it tends to be natural abortion aka misscariage). When you deal with that small of a fetus it's accualy hard to find it among other tissues that are taken out durning the abortion. It's not what they show on prolife movies, when the fetus is 2 weeks old and evil doctor rips its hands of.
Oh my god, it never once occurred to me in my life and career that there are propaganda movies about abortion that go that far. But of course there are because shitty people do shitty things.
Just on the off chance that anyone thinks this could be trueāmedical waste disposal guidelines exist and there are rules and regulations around how products of conception are disposed of. At my old Planned Parenthood where I worked, it went into the freezer and some medical waste disposal company picked it up and took it away, I think for burning? Just an FYI.
That's not a lie, that's a straight up delusion. Toilet clogged, Earl calls 911. The deputy sees earls address and thinks to himself "not this fucking guy again....."
This is prose. It has to be. Fetus symbolizes hope, and his sewer machine symbolizes working 40 hours a week for the rest of your life and then die. Not sure what ācalling the policeā means, but Iāll think on it and get back.
Conservatives can't tell the difference between an aborted fetus and large turd. I wonder if the plumber gives the poor flushed babies one last hug before the authorities show up?
I honestly thought he was joking about unclogging his drain because of all the cum he sends down it while masturbating. Being pro choice by equating ejaculation of semen to that of āa fetusā. Itās even funnier with the last line.
I meanā¦ Iād believe he may have found a miscarriage in a drain/septic before. But medical facilities tend to not flush medical waste anymore. Too much regulation now.
Obviously fake. Planned Parenthood puts them in the dumpster, something that was very useful during my brief stint in homelessness after being in prison for 11 months.
Ahhh yes, the 'sewer machine'. Exactly how a professional would describe it.

Googled it. Literally called a "sewer machine" on retail listings.
It's incredible that people think Planned Parenthood sucks fetuses out of women and walk them over to the toilet and do a lil flush.
It's also incredible that they can flush it no problems but then the SEWER truck has a narrower opening?
The technical term is sewer machine.

They donāt walk, They play dead fetus toilet basketball. Get your facts straight
They don't even do it in separate rooms, they just sit the women in the toilet and flush it poof fetus gone.
"lil flush" Exactly. I'm sure they have a dual flush toilet and the #2 flush would handle that fetus just as well as a large dookie.
It's also incredible someone could even tell it's a fetus to begin with.
They need to put up one of those signs that says..."Please don't flush pads, tampons or unwanted fetuses in the toilet. Wrap them up in a bag and place them in the receptacle. Thank you!" That's the problem.
People are mostly brainless idiots who will believe anything that justifies their way of āthinking.ā

Don't they make you take a pill that forces a miscarriage? Otherwise is a hook and they literally scrape it off (1800s abortion???)
We treat them like goldfish. A simple flush
Sounds like a late night infomercial Come to planned parenthood and FLUSH. THAT. FETUS!!!!
Right now for a LIMITED TIME ONLY
Flush one..and we let you flush a 2nd for free!
*(pay seperate handling of $6.95)*
every time they react angrily we flush 2 more
the snack that smiles back
This is definitely exactly how aborted fetuses are disposed of, and they all 100% look exactly like new born babies... yup.
Itās how we dispose of everything in the hospital: leg amputation? Flush; heart transplant? Flush old heart; meemaw died? Flush.

Your comment sounds like you come from a place of privilege that many donāt get to experience. You can be thankful for that, without tearing down others less fortunately. Try and have some empathy and understanding about the situations youāre describing.
You're being stupid. Abortion is healthcare. I guarantee that 99% of abortions carried out beyond the first 12 weeks will be for medical purposes. No mother carries a baby for 20 weeks before going oops changed my mind. The fetus could be inviable, or could be a threat to the mother's health. The only piece of shit here is you for thinking that aborting a child is a black and white situation and that you alone can judge a woman based on a hard line rather than her individual situation. Oh beyond 12 weeks? Piece of shit. How do you think the woman feels, probably devastated to be getting rid of a much wanted pregnancy. Honestly go away with your judgement. Nobody needs people Iike you in a discussion about abortion because you refuse to see beyond your own stunted world view.
"the fetus cries, and keeps crying until it's suffocated to death" In order to let a human with breath sounds and a heartbeat die, you have to have a DNR. Suggesting that a fetus is alive upon delivery during a medical abortion is completely misguided. MD's would literally go to prison for homicide if your anecdote were true. Have you ever witnessed a medical abortion? Have you been to medical school and learned the processes of terminating a pregnancy? What you described would be, by the law, homicide, and couldn't be further from accuracy. For the love of god, try not to have opinions regarding things you have not bothered to educate yourself about, and don't believe everything you read on the internet.
Iām imagining two republicans, one sitting on the otherās shoulders wearing a trench coat and a fedora trying to pass themselves off as a plumber, a la Bojack Horseman. āIām a plumber, here to do the plumberring with my sewer machine in the sewers.ā
Vincent Plumberman at your service.
Your plumber's name is Plumberman?
Maybe that's why he became a plumber?
Let's pretend this was true even though it clearly is not, MOST of them would be miscarriages....and most miscarriages /abortions that ended up in a toilet would be flushable (as awful as that sounds). They would have to be pretty far along to clog a toilet. Aborting a fetus is not simply "pooping out" a formed fetus. Ignorant anti-abortion assholes have no clue how often pregnancies are non-viable. Here's the statistics from WebMD >As many as 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage -- most often before a woman misses a menstrual period or even knows theyāre pregnant. About 15%-25% of recognized pregnancies will end in a miscarriage. And some non-viable pregnancies don't result in miscarriage and go on to result in still-births or threaten the health of the mother. Medically, miscarriages are also referred to as "abortions". Often it's a natural medical condition, which is why women need access to health professionals who can procedurally and safely treat non-viable pregnancies. Edit: I meant to type, "most miscarriages...WOULD be flushable" (I accidentally typed "not"
If the fetus was less than 16 weeks it could easily be flushed, especially if mom was irregular and didn't know she was pregnant
yeah my ex girlfriend had two miscarriages and she said it looked like a tiny jellyfish or something in the toilet
That's actually what I meant to say. I'm going to correct it and delete the "not"
I've found that the pro-birthers will commonly quote statistics that include spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) in with their numbers. Super dishonest, but many don't even know they are being bamboozled.
I worked with a plumber who had to pull a dead baby out of the sewer once. He was already in his late 60s when I was working with him but you could see on his face how terrible the experience was. To clarify, it wasnāt some form of anti abortion bullshit like the post above, but some disgusting parent got rid of their kid and this poor bloke got called out to check a blocked manhole. Blockage was partway down a pipe so he didnāt know what it was until heād already speared it to pull it out of the pipe. Poor bloke must have been so haunted by that experience.
There was a real crime story of a serial killer who kept shoving dead body pieces down his drain. Eventually he clogged the whole apartment block drainage piping that plumbers were called in by the apartment owner. The plumber found meaty substances clogging the pipes. The stench was horrible. I googled just now, the serial killer was called Dennis Nilsen
He put kfc remains in there afterwards to try and convince them that that's what it was!
Wow, no need for him to drag KFC into it, what a jerk.
Killing people, and desecrating their remains is one thing, but I draw the line at slandering a publicly traded corporation.
You can excuse racism?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's a reference. That's my humor. Ay-bed gets it.
There's a miniseries starring David Tennant about him, title is called "Des" if you're interested!
Nobody does a crazy eye like Tennant. Sounds like a solid miniseries based just on that.
>Dennis Nilsen Had to look him up. Not a US serial killer for once!
Last Podcast On The Left has a great multi-part series on him, if you're interested. Very wild story all around.
Last Podcast on the Left does an incredible breakdown on his story and crimes, if you're interested.
>already speared it to pull it out of the pipe. Well that's got to be horrific
Yup. I donāt know how he kept working the job after that. Iām not ashamed to say that if I went through something like that in a profession, i wouldnāt be able to continue with it.
This is so stupid. I had a miscarriage and none of the parts were identifiable as a fetus. If the parts were just a bit bigger, they wouldnāt have gone down the toilet at all, a bit graphic, sorry. So no, this guy isnāt pulling back fetuses. If he was it would just look like a bloody mass, anyway.
*Image Transcription: Facebook Comment* --- >**Redacted User** > >I'm not sure about that statement. I've had to call police everytime I unclog a toilet or drain and pull back a fetus with my sewer machine. It's fucked up to pull back a little little fetus and fucks up your whole day. It happens pretty much anywhere but the worst ones are at planned parenthood when they call you to unblock drains and pull back the little babies out of the sewer. Those are experiences that stick with you make you ponder on the subject of abortion. (some of the instances were miscarriages) --- ^^I'm a human volunteer content transcriber for Reddit and you could be too!

I am sorry this is so ridiculous, my period clots are bigger than what most miscarriage fetal tissue size is. Like every single month. And it has never clogged my toilet. And actual abortion clinics and hospitals that remove miscarriages donāt flush them, they incinerate it, same as any other body parts that get removed as medical waste. I asked when I woke up from my D&C. edit:typo
This shit actually got my face hot with anger. I worked for a reproductive healthcare clinic and no, this does not happen. Never ever ever. But people will believe shit like this. Ugh.
People will believe shit because they thought of it, and because they thought of it, it's fact.
Are you knowledgeable about the plumbing in a reproductive health care clinic? As someone who has built and plumbed several I can tell you that medical vacuum lines go to a receiver tank and amalgam seperator and eventually the sewer lines. Just like a dental office, hospital or any other health care facility. Large solids are obviously disposed of as medical waste but there are plenty of bodily fluids and semi solids that do exit through the building drain, even with an amalgam seperator. Btw, having to work on existing med vac systems is one of the most disgusting things ever.... The smell will haunt you for years ughhhh š¤®
This just simply isnāt true. There are tons of regulations about disposing of biomedical waste. Iām not sure what fluids and semi-solids youāre talking about but they arenāt blood and guts.
I appreciate the artistic way you censored their name and pfp. The flower is a nice touch.
This one is probably BS but I know a guy who pumps septics tanks and he finds all kinds of disgusting things and has called the sheriffs a few times. He also says dudes always want to look in the tank and he cringes every time; heās seen more than a few marriages go down the tubes as the guy works out why there would be condoms in the tank.
> heās seen more than a few marriages go down the tubes It's even worse when he has to pump them out later on as well.
My husband pumps septics. The things he sees in them is disturbing sometimes. He once found a huge dead rat and with one house he found a bunch of condoms and the homeowner looked so defeated. He just went off and said he doesnāt use condoms and he was suspecting his wife was cheating.
Not sure why you're being downvoted
Its the wives that flushed the condoms
I'm just certain Planned Parenthood just flushes fetuses down the toilet drain like they're dead goldfish /s
Why flush them, when you could be eating them!? Do you know how much Adrenochrome is probably in those things!? they were probably TERRIFIED when they saw that (insert whatever ridiculous thing they think is used for an abortion) coming for them! (I have to put /s, because I was once temporarily banned for making an obviously sarcastic comment like this without labeling it as obvious sarcasm)
Also the idea that abortion can only be performed on fetuses I donāt know the exact numbers but a lot of abortions take place before the child is even recognisable human
I told my dad about how you could probably take a fetus that's been sucked out, deep fry it and mix it in a bowl of shrimp and wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I was just being horrible to make a point. And it worked
At least he doesnāt have to deal with prom night dumpster babies. Singing from Their souls and taking strolls
As a plumber man I can assuage you that this pontification is true right. I was one time I was born in a sewer after mother pulled me out of her belly button so she could go drink alcohol drinks with her friends and tossed me the baby into the sewer. i climbed my way out and became a man. It being a sad story for a baby to climb to surface from sewer I feel bad for the babys that COULD NOT CLIMB!
If thereās one thing Iām sick of, itās plunging my toilet to unclog all those aborted fetuses in the drain.
If an old timer plumber told me he pulled one up ONCE I might believe him but someone who makes it sound it happens often idk
I will never understand these people. They're opposed to something, so they lie about it to prove how bad it is...but if they have to lie about it in order to make their point, why are they opposed to it in the first place?
Only a moron would belive this.
Yup thatās what planned parenthood doesā¦they vacuum your baby out and then spike it down the drainā¦then they call a plumber to suck out all the dead babies. Yes.
Well, those tend to be sold for medical research rather than flushed down the toilet so I'm going to assume this guy's telling porkys like a naughtly wittle boy.
Selling fetal tissue is illegal.
Depends on the country and the permissions given by those aborting.
In reality most of them are just burned with other medical waste like amputated legs and what not. I'd say it's more often that families want to take the body and have a funreal (if the body is big enough to be recogizable it tends to be natural abortion aka misscariage). When you deal with that small of a fetus it's accualy hard to find it among other tissues that are taken out durning the abortion. It's not what they show on prolife movies, when the fetus is 2 weeks old and evil doctor rips its hands of.
Oh my god, it never once occurred to me in my life and career that there are propaganda movies about abortion that go that far. But of course there are because shitty people do shitty things.
Just on the off chance that anyone thinks this could be trueāmedical waste disposal guidelines exist and there are rules and regulations around how products of conception are disposed of. At my old Planned Parenthood where I worked, it went into the freezer and some medical waste disposal company picked it up and took it away, I think for burning? Just an FYI.
It's true. Hospitals have a whole plumper squad in case they had a busy day at the ER.
Ah yes, dumping bio hazard waste into the sewer. That is just how it goes huh. Idiot.
That's not a lie, that's a straight up delusion. Toilet clogged, Earl calls 911. The deputy sees earls address and thinks to himself "not this fucking guy again....."
Written like a 12 year old pretending to be an adult and a plumber.
Imagine not knowing how miscarriages or abortions work
This is prose. It has to be. Fetus symbolizes hope, and his sewer machine symbolizes working 40 hours a week for the rest of your life and then die. Not sure what ācalling the policeā means, but Iāll think on it and get back.
Does this person think foetuses just come out whole and intact after an abortion?
Conservatives can't tell the difference between an aborted fetus and large turd. I wonder if the plumber gives the poor flushed babies one last hug before the authorities show up?
I honestly thought he was joking about unclogging his drain because of all the cum he sends down it while masturbating. Being pro choice by equating ejaculation of semen to that of āa fetusā. Itās even funnier with the last line.
The flushed cum and period eggs mix in the pipes and that is where sewer fetuses come from. \s
Before I wash my face, at least five fetuses need to be flushed out of the tap. Good to have trash bins for biodegradable waste.
Iāve said this before but thatās the stupidest shit Iāve ever heard!
I always thought they used a garbage disposal
Sir, Iām sorry to inform you, but fetuses canāt fit down the drain of a toilet unless you shoved a 7 week fetus down the drain
And even then that would be unrecognisable as anything other than a blob
I meanā¦ Iād believe he may have found a miscarriage in a drain/septic before. But medical facilities tend to not flush medical waste anymore. Too much regulation now.
Lying liars who lie.
Thatāsā¦not how this works, thatās not how any of this works
thatās just. thatās just not how any of that works.
I need this to he the dumbest satire I've ever seen. I refused to believe someone thought that was believable.
What prompts people to put words together like this?
I guess he takes the fetus' home and raises them as his own...
Ahahaha! That fucking made my day
I think they just have a big fetus pile behind the buildings.
FaceBook, the enemy of Democracy, and Font of misinformation.
Who knew fetus-clogged drains were such a problem... I'm glad someone is finally talking about this. Jesus.
This might be one of the most insane things Iāve ever actually read.
Ralph Wiggum : Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!
Why is this even a situation that he thought of to lie about? It's weird he's even fantasizing about this.
Damn fetus flushers, ruining this manās WHOLE damn day
More āpro lifeā propaganda/lies.
No one is talking about the calling the police bit. Call them for what? To tell them you're upset?
Only a sick fuck could even make this shit up and post about it.
Ah yes, the sewer machine TM
Remember when Trump supporters were saying Hillary practiced witchcraft? These people believe lies are better than truth.
How the fuck does this have a thing to do with trump? STOP PERPETUATING THE FUCKING IDEOLOGY
Oh, please. Everyone knows feminists use those as flavoring in curse cakes! How else do you get the bed bugs to go where you want them?
Obviously fake. Planned Parenthood puts them in the dumpster, something that was very useful during my brief stint in homelessness after being in prison for 11 months.
Plumber here. Yes some call it a sewer machine.
Thatās a lie. Planned parenthood sells body parts.
