Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Protect the Fetus by Killing the Mother!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They’re not even talking about fetuses. They’re taking about Zygotes and blastocysts. They want the moment of fertilization to start life.

Imagine how many women they’re going to have to kill when they find out how many fertilized eggs aren’t born.

Forcing an unwanted birth doesn't lead to a fulfilling life for the parent or the kid

We should also start penalizing people who have miscarriages right? Since that is essentially manslaughter then (I hope you get that this is a joke, just like your stance on abortion)

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

They're already trying to outlaw miscarriages, and effectively have outlawed it in at least one place because of the overlap in how similarly the procedures technically work.

They're not pro life. They're not even pro birth. They're pro control over women. They're still salty that women can vote.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

By that logic, so is jerking off. Hell, sex us murder because millions of seeds will die without being able to have a full, fruitful life..

Hell, not jerking off is a death penalty crime because your body will kill and reabsorb millions of sperm cells!

Should we all get the death penalty now?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And state sanctioned killings are not?

You people have very flexible morals when it suits you.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Your logic is sound, but it's a waste for this.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Allow me to use the same amount of brain power in my rebuttal as you used in your argument:

No.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Another day, another fascist account to block

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With the population growing the way it is, we should honestly be encouraging more abortions.

Mars exists for a reason and earth can hold up to about 11b people and for miscarriage it's not like abortion where you take medication and it kills the baby miscarriage is smth that happens that no one can prevent if it happens

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Mars is not your backyard that by planting a patch of grass and watering it will turn the whole planet into a lush grassland. And speaking of abortion, how many orphans have you adopted so far?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah no matter what some rich assholes want to convince everyone, 8 billion is already to much. Imagine every city becoming 25 percent more crowded everywhere. Just no.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We finally agreed on smth rich people are assholes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The laws criminalizing abortion also effectively criminalize miscarriages because of the way they investigate things and the fact that dilation and evacuation/curettage is frequently needed for miscarriages that occur after 10 weeks or so. The conservatives in question will refuse to accept that the fetus died in utero without any intervention and prosecute women that have to have dead fetal tissue removed to prevent sepsis, save their lives, and preserve future fertility if that's what they want.

You need to go back on your meds

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Objectively isn't

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Conservatives get the most abortions, so this is a real daffy duck moment for them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure the feeling is mutual
