politics
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!

Abortion is murder
You need to go back on your meds
By that logic, so is jerking off. Hell, sex us murder because millions of seeds will die without being able to have a full, fruitful life..
Hell, not jerking off is a death penalty crime because your body will kill and reabsorb millions of sperm cells!
Should we all get the death penalty now?
Another day, another fascist account to block
Objectively isn't
Allow me to use the same amount of brain power in my rebuttal as you used in your argument:
No.
And state sanctioned killings are not?
You people have very flexible morals when it suits you.
Your logic is sound, but it's a waste for this.
Today random, but you’re not Tyfud from XdO are you?
lol! Holy shit and so random. I doubt you knew me on DAoC, but I was on Hibernia/Nimue when you all played Midgard.
I played a Lurikeen nightshade name Cyno and then a Celt valewalker named Chaka. I was in smaller guilds mostly, but TPG did recruit me for a short time.
Such a small world, even on the internet! I’ve only ever seen this name and spelling this way from gaming and thought I’d ask.
Things are great for me! In my 40s, but still feeling young. Can’t game as much because married with kid and dogs, but I do from time to time. Getting hard to be competitive without those twitch reactions. Ha!
How about yourself?
I love that we’re having this little conversation in the midst of a thread about politics. 😂
That’s awesome and I’m glad to read that things are working out for you! Being childless can be pretty nice to do what you want and invest in your partner. Pets are always nice. Our kitty passed April 1, 2020 (awful date). We have 2 Shiba Inus now after our other shiba passed 2 years ago.
I’m happy to hear that you’re looking to pursue your passion and I wish you the best of luck! I do SEO for two major child care companies (national and international), but want to switch careers to either IT or front end web development or full stack (eventually). I just need to really think this through and start on a path.
As for games, I’ve been engaged with Baldur’s Gate 3 and HellDivers 2 mostly lately. I am big into D&D now and play in a campaign and then DM two others. What games have you worked on? I’d love to try one out!
With the population growing the way it is, we should honestly be encouraging more abortions.
Mars exists for a reason and earth can hold up to about 11b people and for miscarriage it's not like abortion where you take medication and it kills the baby miscarriage is smth that happens that no one can prevent if it happens
The laws criminalizing abortion also effectively criminalize miscarriages because of the way they investigate things and the fact that dilation and evacuation/curettage is frequently needed for miscarriages that occur after 10 weeks or so. The conservatives in question will refuse to accept that the fetus died in utero without any intervention and prosecute women that have to have dead fetal tissue removed to prevent sepsis, save their lives, and preserve future fertility if that's what they want.
Mars is not your backyard that by planting a patch of grass and watering it will turn the whole planet into a lush grassland. And speaking of abortion, how many orphans have you adopted so far?
Yeah no matter what some rich assholes want to convince everyone, 8 billion is already to much. Imagine every city becoming 25 percent more crowded everywhere. Just no.
We finally agreed on smth rich people are assholes
Forcing an unwanted birth doesn't lead to a fulfilling life for the parent or the kid
We should also start penalizing people who have miscarriages right? Since that is essentially manslaughter then (I hope you get that this is a joke, just like your stance on abortion)
They're already trying to outlaw miscarriages, and effectively have outlawed it in at least one place because of the overlap in how similarly the procedures technically work.
They're not pro life. They're not even pro birth. They're pro control over women. They're still salty that women can vote.
