Agree with all of this. Including the 'likely' part you want to dismiss. It seems we have no disagreement here. Outside of you not liking my face that is :)

This is disingenuous. You pretended the argument was about Zygotes. I simply pointed out that abortions don't stop at Zygotes. And the laws as written make elective late abortions not only possible but likely.
I'm simply pointing out what the facts and arguments are. Not passing an opinion.
Stolen? She took it from a dumpster dump! Goodness me!
Yes, when pregnancies are terminated to save the mother's life Dr tend to have notes that documents this. It would be easy to verify. But no one wants to do a cursory check. I wonder why.
What an idiot. Stealing from dumpsters is still theft. As is coercing staff to give them property that doesn't belong to them.
It’s hazardous waste. It has little to no monetary value, but because it is hazardous waste that may be harmful to public health, it isn't up to anti-abortionist hooligans to decide how it is disposed of.
Yep, the overall situation feels like a powder keg. I am aware *most* of these are not unique to the US, so would be interested to hear perspectives from elsewhere, but the current landscape you have:I’ve been talking about where and when the tipping point might occur over on a different forum. It was almost 1/6, but we came back from the brink, but only slightly.
Which step is going to be the one?
Which domino?
Which action?
Which election?
I had thought it would be post-midterms, once McCarthy & McConnell get their grubby little mitts on power and completely grind the country to a halt, but this may be it…
Where does one go when a bunch of old white men tell every woman in the country “Welcome back to the 1700s! We OWN your body!”?
What do you tell the young girl being raped RIGHT NOW that she has to carry the unwanted child to term and then either raise it as her own or have it ripped from her in the delivery room never to be seen again?
I saw a smug upper class white woman, for whom overturning Roe will present no issue whatsoever, telling the camera, with a straight face, that overturning Roe was simply protecting both mother and child and the support services they might both need are readily available!
I wanted to reach into the TV and rip her throat out for spouting such bald faced lies in pursuit of her control over other women.
But, I expect NOTHING TO CHANGE.
The decision will become law, Democrats couldn’t get laid in a brothel (pun intended), and Republicans will control
Congress in 2023.
2023-2024 are election season, especially on the Right, but Democrats will have to find someone to run, too, because an impotent 81 year old Biden isn’t going to cut it against the rabid control freaks running the country during his last 2 years pre-24!
America is fucked and The Handmaid’s Tale isn’t just a TV show.
The people who will get hurt the most are the ones that are too stoopid to know they’re the cannon fodder, and think their guns & butter are safe!
TV America is urban and Democratic, but you get a sense of what about 80% of America looks like when you get outside of town or just watch Yellowstone for a taste of the mentality!
The irony is that most Ag land holders in America live off the Govt teat…they just don’t want to recognize it!
- 30-40% of the country outwardly trying to gut voting rights and basic human rights to remain in power
- Political instability and corruption, to the point we almost had a fucking coup and the former President has been proven to be an absolute shitbag criminal and still might win again
- Rampant income inequality, at levels not seen in living memory
- Skyrocketing housing costs to the point pretty much anyone under 40 may never be able to afford a home
- Skyrocketing rent as a reaction to this because hey, what is America without unbridled capitalism
- Stagnating wages as the cost of living and inflation reach near record highs
- Education costs that are doubling and tripling every few years, to the point entire generations are saddled with college debt they can never get rid of
- The most expensive healthcare system in the world, where any sort of unexpected illness can basically end you financially
- The impacts of climate change becoming more visible by the day
- Racial tensions not seem in my living memory (I'm in my early thirties), I suppose since the Rodney King riots
What have I missed? A tipping point is coming very soon, and I'm not sure what will happen.
Zinger!!!!You finished 1st in your class didn't you?
Although I'm getting the impression that the school you went to was staffed by evangelical Christians working as teachers during their gap year before theology studies.

When will this dude practice what he preaches?
Nothing but an attention seeker for the sake of it other than insults and barbs and a few gifs contributes nothing.
He is ok when on the sports forums but has a brain freeze when he sees the word US Politics.
What's not needed is his pathetic attempts to show people up which will never succeed and FWIW no one takes this S back seriously to quote the golfer himself and those he levels his barbs at don't care but keep them coming if you must as your total has hit the skids of late but I am sure someone will speak on behalf of your protection racket in due course in any case and make his day from irrelevant to see I am still wanted and admired just ask Westy and Fog.
Take the tree out of the USA and you are left with SWP speak.
He must be a non greenie (LOL) in other words a conservative.
Surprised Fog hasn't yet reported him from constant breach of the COC or maybe he has but the Mods say no dice.
Too interested in the playoffs today fair enough and understandably so with this diatribe on offer.
Go the Avalanche , Mackinnon doesn't need the top corner (LOL).
We need a Shadygiz on this forum for sure and certain.
Is the prick handing out 'slapping through the internet'? Has he offered to fight anyone else over politics, the soft fucker!

Didn’t take long for same sex marriage to be spoken off on the back of Roe.

I’ve only ever heard info wars watching alt right loons and Trump adherents ever use that term so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Who gives a fuck what they think?I was confused with the acronym DnD. I thought what has dungeons and dragons have to do with US politics?

Sadly they are good at shit like that sticking.I’ve only ever heard info wars watching alt right loons and Trump adherents ever use that term so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Who gives a fuck what they think?
Simple, effective albeit mainly false attacks the base can parrot at will.
