Where's the Pro-Life thread?

[KUTradition]

heard an “interesting” thought over lunch, that in addition to lgbtq+ rights, this may even open the door to limiting or even eliminating birth control/contraceptives

might be kinda nice, not having to stand in front of the wall of condoms at walgreens while waiting for my Rx

So dumb. Hysteria is back.

I can't tell if this is new due to the nature of how we get info now or if it's something that's always been...

But I am amazed at how much people dismiss known stuff and obsess over unknowns.

I'm seeing people talking about the leak or what will eventually maybe be illegal now, w/r/t the Roe stuff. This itself is the big deal.

Same with J6 stuff. "We're going to find out about the vast conspiracy around J6!". We saw the election denial and the Trump speech on J6 - that is the big deal itself.

Same with Russia-Ukraine. "Putin is looking to go after all of Eastern Europe or the rest of the former USSR!". Maybe... But the attack on Ukraine itself is the big deal.

The significance of these events is diluted by talking so much about unknown stuff. I don't get the psychology of it.

It’s a 24-hour news cycle. Reporting the facts/news takes what maybe 1 hour? They need to fill another 23 hours, giving a 23:1 bias in favor speculation and “analysis”!

I don't get it either.

And it (the hysteria over the unknowns) has rarely panned out.

I think the entire menu of religious-right catnip is in play.

Obergefell will be first, but not last.

And you can bet your ass that, the second this decision actually comes down and has the weight of precedent, that silly-ass Texas end-around (the private enforcement garbage) will be deployed nationwide, for purposes of ordering off the menu.

yeah they're likely to crank up the outrage against gay marriage next

but the thing about gay marriage is, it affects people who are actually born

posting again cuz it's once again so relevant

[Deleted User 863]

The vast majority of people support gay marriage.

Seems like some of your outrage is cranked all the way up. On shit that'll never happen.

[ousdahl]

I should have phrased that better.

I feel compelled to mention re: “it affects people who are actually born,” I feel compelled to mention, I can only imagine how much this recent Roe news affects women.

Speaking of…

[Deleted User 863]

They were talking about it being leaked. Not about whether women should be allowed to get abortions. But hey, whatever looks good on the twitter, right?

[ousdahl]

either way, that panel exhibits the kind of diversity only a Qusdahl could love.

Well you'll be happy to know the current show has 2 women and a black guy on it. Although they do have 2 white men also. Gasp.

[ousdahl]

2 women and a black dude...yeah, I've seen lots of shows like that!

can't say I've seen the one with 2 white men tho

but if that's your thing, no worries that's cool, I'm not gonna try to stack the supreme court about it otherwise

Flailing.

Thankfully you've been avoiding the war thread lately.

That’s because they’re cowards. Yes, the leak happened. But what about the substance. In a few days/weeks the decision will come. Then what? Are they going to jail doctors? Are they going to jail women? Talk about that. But they won’t. They’re clutching their pearls over The Leak. Cowards

Who said they were discussing "whether women should be allowed to get abortions"?
I see a tweet that says, This is a panel on abortion.
Yes, they were talking about it being leaked - but did you actually watch it?
I just did. One could rightfully say they were a "panel on abortion/s" being that a couple of them actually did talk about the actual ruling and how this ruling will affect voters. One of the many facets of how this ruling affects people - and our country.

Don't worry, they had Candace Owens on to talk about the substance since she is a black woman. So Qusdahl can't be mad about her opinion.

It's gross. All of it.

The government should have no say in abortion. If a woman wants an abortion she should be able to get one. Conversely if a doctor at a private practice is uncomfortable with abortions they should be able to not perform that procedure. But the government has no business picking and choosing which situations abortions are acceptable. 99.9% of the time it is a decision no woman wants to make.

I hope the good news is that with 70% of the country in support of a woman's right to choose, that even if it is overturned, many (maybe most) states will vote to allow them. Even the red states. Maybe I am being too optimistic.

hysteria!!!

[Deleted User 863]

If you read the leak, it says right within the draft that this is a unique situation that doesn't apply to other rights because of the complexities around abortion.

You'll still be able to buy condoms, don't worry.
