Agreed. But also, i wouldn’t trust anything in the hands of the Supreme Court right now.

She was not the property of a man. That's the standard by which these people assess women

It's about propagating the religion- the lives of the people are unimportant. The religion grows by enforcing a set of customs, and anyone who doesn't comply is threatened with ostracism or violence

They want her to die.

“They’re someone else’s problem.”

Alright, which doctor?

How would you solve this problem?

• Crowdfund participants will want to verify her identity
• If her identity is exposed, she might get murdered for Jesus

Please tie your message to a brick and gently place it on his desk through the window.

Well America has always been the home of the free. Its in their national anthem and a huge part of their cultural identity.

For example, you're free to perform your own bodily functions such a procreation in any way you wish, provided that you're participating in a state sanctioned marriage, and that you belong to a demographic which is desirable to the state, and that your DNA does not contain any markers for undesirable traits, and that you express continued loyalty to the supreme leader eternal.

Its such an enlightened way of life.

As an American, I also say WHAT IN THE FUCK to this.

The 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act allows physicians to deny care to patients whose lifestyles they disagree with

“It’s absolutely not ‘pro-life’ — and not very Christian either,” said Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), as she shared the woman’s story after the town hall. “And who else are they not going to treat? I had a friend say: what about someone who’s addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who’s struggling with mental health? If you can just refuse treatment to anyone whose lifestyle you disagree with — that’s not medical ethics. That’s fascism.”

A bunch of American men believe women should not have sex outside of marriage (except with them of course, where women are expected to be nymphomaniac whores).

Basically completely unrealistic and unreasonable shitty people

You understand it, it's fucking insane so your reaction is normal.

"religious freedoms"... Yet cannot find any associated practice in their religious teachings.....

Ironically, they are going directly against the teachings of the book they claim to love and study daily. The New Testament is full of warnings to treat others as you would be treated, love your neighbor, accept others as they are, abandon worldly concerns and improve yourself before judging others, etc etc. I'm just a bitter atheist pointing out the ridiculous state of their "faith"

How and when did Tennessee become worse than Texas and Florida?

When Haslam retired. Which he did because he saw the writing on the wall that there was no longer a place for him.

Haslam wasn't good, but as a corporate lackey, he just wanted to keep the machine running, he wasn't ideologically committed to all the christofascist culture war bullshit, and would push back on it when it would rock the boat too much. For a few years, he held back the rising tide of fascism and the state was less bad than most of its neighbors. But as soon as he left, there was a massive wave of legislation making up for lost time. The people running things now are fascist idiots, whether ideologues or opportunists, unrestrained by conscience or reason. If Fox News runs a story about something, there will be legislation about it within a week.

How did things get this bad? Because the corporate lackies created the material conditions for it. They were happy to work with and spur on the christofascists because it gets them voting Republican. And now they've created a beast they can no longer control or restrain.
