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!

She is dead because a group of fanatics imposed their religious beliefs onto her. A belief, BTW, that even isn't in their Bible.

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

In fact, their Bible explicitly condones abortion. Priests would administer abortions in the form of "bitter water" to women who were accused of adultery.

Their god doesn't give a shit about babies, but apparently cares a lot more about keeping women in line. Almost like the whole thing was written by a bunch of men in power who wanted to keep their power. Hmm...

Texas governor should be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

To Barnica, an immigrant from Honduras

Shocking, that an immigrant of color would be treated this way in Texas.

I wonder if white girls are subjected to the same standard of care, or if doctors are statistically more likely to feel comfortable about the possibility of having to defend their decision. Maybe it's the same across the board, but I'd be a little surprised.

Excuse me but when it comes to abortion and pregnancy Republicans are sexist, not racist. They believe in subjugating women of all color.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, they're classist. Their abortions are different.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

That's for rich white people. Poor white people can fuck off.

This shit is why my wife elected to get a hysterectomy when she started having other issues down there. She simply doesn't want the chance to get pregnant in this state.
