Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Hey assbag, those women over 50 have daughters, granddaughters, goddaughters, step-daughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, nieces, cousins, and (in at least two situations I personally know of) aunts who are younger than them who this would be an issue for. And not to mention all the men and NBs in their lives who support them and their health.
So go fuck yourself.
What's crazy to me is that they think that men don't care about it either.
Why would a man care about his wife bleeding In a car with doctors refusing to help? Can't he just get another one from the lady store? /s
No, women are traditionally stored in binders. You have to slide them out of that plastic protector thingy.
I have a 15 month old.. I live in a red state with an abortion ban that started as a trigger law.
The entire pregnancy I told my wife I'll choose her Everytime and if we don't get the care she needs.. we will find it.
Bodily autonomy was always important to me. My wife potentially dying and the maga government not caring has pushed me as far left as I need to go to always vote blue.
Wife and kiddo were fine, 0 complications. We were fortunate. Not everyone is as lucky.
It was the response from a lot of people to COVID precautions that made me realize that a disturbing number of people are completely lacking in empathy, and don't even understand it as a concept. They're the people who truly did not understand why a person who isn't at personal risk of complications would still do thinks like distance, wear a mask, or get vaccinated, because most of the benefits involve stopping the spread to others.
This is exactly the same thing. Not only do they not care about other people, they genuinely do not understand the others do.
He can’t picture someone having community and love, and caring about issues that might not affect them directly for selfish reasons.
I don't have to be related to someone to be able to imagine what life would be like in their shoes, how what I would want to do if in their position might affect others, and ultimately whether or not we should ban something, provide aid for something, or ignore something.
The republican electorate seems largely incapable of doing that, and that's why republican officials act surprised when people vote for the good of anyone other than themselves.
