Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Yeah probably a terrible idea from multiple perspectives to deny women healthcare access to things like abortion.
A miscarriage, you mean a "spontaneous abortion"
His "Mawmaw" sounded like a massive piece of shit, so maybe this is vengeance.
I think you are thinking of his mother. His mamaw told him she would love him even if he were gay. Which is basically the only thing I know about her so I guess it was possible she is shitty in other ways.
"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"
"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
Grandma is filthy
Yeah that's the story I meant. So it sounds to me like she was not really a piece of shit. At least not based on that story. At that time in rural America, telling a kid God would love them even if they were gay was about as progressive as you could expect.
She didn't say she would love him.
If only she had just one more.
That 10% number is wildly wrong.
That's the low end of the estimated range which is actually 10% to 20% and the estimated ranges are all about known miscarriages. The rate also increases with age, it's not some static number a person should expect.
Countless other pregnancies end in miscarriage before women even know they're pregnant.
And in the dystopian future were headed for, they'll be monitoring even for those unknown ones and jail em for murder.
Why couldn't it have been 9? Okay, I take that back. His grandma shouldn't be punished for him being a massive piece of shit.
Nature vs. Nurture says that at least part of the blame is hers.
“Fuck You, Got Mine” - GOP
A candidate espousing policies that would have probably killed his own mother. We have reached peak politics.
Vance is a walking contradiction.
You could see this at the debate. He agreed verbally and with body movements (might be hard to know for sure) with many of the points Walz brought up but his paid positions wouldn't allow him to simply go with the obvious. Like Obamacare. He made no case for getting rid of it, even talked about improving it, but said it's still gotta go. And, of course, behind the scenes that's exactly what they are trying to do, kill it, despite anything that comes out of their mouth. They have nothing, Obamacare works, but they just want to destroy it. It must be difficult going against reality all the time. But not when you have an army of abused, controlled, drooling people voting for you.
"Mamaw." A great example of why I don't like the south. "Peepaw" and a "pop-pop" are others that I heard when my family lived there when I was a child.
This mans from Ohio. Kindly leave us the hell out of this one!
yeah don't tarnish the South's otherwise impeccable reputation
Oh, no, we deserve 99% of the shit we get down here. But this isn't our fault for once damn it, so leave us alone!
This dude isn't from the south
Meemaw and Bumpah are two that i can’t forget
