the morning-after pill is NOT technically abortion. in the vast majority of cases no conception has taken place. you don't get someone pregnant every single time you accidentally ejaculate in them, my dude. it's a numbers game.

yeah that's true. but there's a chance the eggs were fertilized in that case technically the growth of a baby has started so it would still be abortion. not saying i have anything against that. i have nothing against abortion in general (depending on the circumstances) but it's irritating when people try to delude themselves into thinking you're not killing a baby.

you’re not ‘killing’ anything resembling a ‘baby’ by taking a morning-after pill, drooz. please take a basic biology lesson, this is embarrassing.

you have benign skin cancers that are more biologically complex and ‘alive’ than a day 1 fertilised egg.

Quite frankly, I don't know why people cede ground with arbitrary milestones set by pro-birthers - it just supplied ammo to move the goalposts and gives them the argument of "Oh, you're fine with it as long as it doesn't look like a baby!". The actual procedure becomes more complex as time goes on, but as that viral-ish story goes, basically no one is 8.5 months in and deciding "nah, jk". If someone's having an abortion at that point, they've got a name picked out and a nursery set up and it's probably a goddamn tragedy for them.

Fucking oughta have the option. We don't need to rehash what needs to be done if we wanted PSAs encouraging people to Bone Responsibly, but it's a blatant way for judgmental pricks to saddle women with kids for having the gall to have sex, and then we can judge those single mothers and their (probably) shitty children they aren't ready for. These fucks are investing in tutting for years down the road.

Million MAGA March speaker: 'We will not stop until The Handmaid's Tale is a reality -- and even worse than that'

James, whose YouTube account was shuttered due to inappropriate content, is now moving on from election fraud claims to attacking women and boasting he is part of a "Christian Taliban" movement.

In the video (which can be seen below) he claims, "This is the era of Christian nationalism," before turning to the recent events at the Supreme Court.

What extremists?

Honestly, why? What about that is better than current life? Sure sure I get being completely ruled by the big fake dude in the sky and not doing anything with his approval, but why as far as the Handmaidens tale? How is walking around in that life better than walking around in this life?

See fewer people on the street because there are no women? Never see another woman at the beach or at a bar or at a club again? Yeah dude, can't wait.

The dude is a balding YouTuber. Seriously google him. He has a hat on in every picture. Obliviously hiding baldness. His life is not where he wants it to be. He wants to be on television with a full head of transplanted hair. He wants to fuck without having to make himself interesting to 6's on Facebook. Of course Handmaid's take is better than the life he has now.

SC just ruled against the EPA. another ruling that will be just as consequential to the future of american life, if not the globe's. what a staggeringly bad few weeks in american law.

just what we need in the midst of unprecedented climate change: let's focus on getting rid of the pesky 'regulatory' state! why shouldn't children go to school next to refineries, after all? freedom!

As a resident of the left coast, my vote is a drop in an ocean of blue. I knew this ghastly state of affairs was coming for years, but felt rather helpless to do anything about it. "Be more proactive," people on social media tell you. What was I going to do, write to my liberal congressman? Move to Kentucky and run as an out-of-state Democrat or something? What a hopeless campaign that would be.

Go to a liberal demonstration and get beaten up by cops while Republicans in government do their very best to ignore objections to their regressive agenda?

Meanwhile, in Texas:

That's not very Catholic of you.

Abortions should be allowed. People and the government shouldn't butt into women's business about it.

Obviously preferable for safe sex to preclude the need for an abortion. To that end, sex ed should be entrenched. Unassailable by the religious right, who shouldn't even touch it in the first place if they hate abortions so much.

They're probably right on that, the EPA can't just do what it wants in the absence of a law passed by congress.

but the law says the EPA can do all things necessary...

literally not what scotus said. they jsut said "naw uh you gotta be specific on what they can do."

New yorks 100 year old gun control law got overturned. so whats that about passing laws again?
