  So I guess the girls and women will go back to wire clothes hangers and bleeding to death. I hate people sometimes.
context: These people need to be removed from power. >
  
  The lack of logic is jarring. They fight to make sure every pregnancy is carried out. But then try to cut every scrap of financial help for the baby after it is born. What’s the point of this stance in that case, pre-born you’re precious, post birth you can just die?? >
  
  They need more poor people to take advantage of >
  
  This is the truth here. you need a class of people financially strapped so they will take low wage jobs and support the corporations. >
  
  Also for profit prisons >
  
  This is the biggest one beyond just the classic keep people poor and divided stuff. Remeber that the 13th amendment has a big... exception:  
  "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." >
  
  From Killer Mike's song, 'Reagan'
  I guess that that's the privilege of policing for some profits
  But thanks to Reaganomics, prison turned to profits
  'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics
  'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison
  You think I am bullshittin', then read the 13th Amendment
  Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits
  That's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits >
  
  Ronald. Wilson. Reagan. >
  
  Alabama going to learn a tough lesson here they can't charge someone for taking a FDA approved drug with a prescription. >
  
  Isnt Alabama the lowest ranked state in the US in education? 
  They arent learning anything is the issue. >
  
  Alabama once was 52nd in math when PR and DC were also ranked. Isn't that something? >
  
  Please tell me that it is with Huntsville removed from the equation. >
  
  even better, it means the larger metro areas like Huntsville are probably making whatever standardized score that was used higher >
  
  I worked at an F school in Huntsville. I had about four in my three years there (fired the day before tenure bc my principal was a bitch) who were reading on grade level. Most were at least four or five grades behind. The poor, black kids, no one gives a fuck about. If you’re from Huntsville, you know where I was. Please don’t out me. >
  
  I could probably take a guess. It's sad to see the state of some of these schools. >
  
  North side >
  
  That definitely tracks. Huntsville put so much effort into developing south side to try to pretend like north side and west side don't exist and need help >
  
  I absolutely loved working there. Six white kids total. Loved it.
  ETA I am white >
  
  Thinking about all those right-wingers who believe that other people in the world "hate us for our freedoms". >
  
  “Our freedoms to impose any law on others bodies” >
  
  "Muh freedom to not care about your oppression because it doesn't impact me directly!" >
  
  Even though, odds are it does and I'm just too stupid to notice. Aw dang, my teenage daughter got knocked up? Even after all the abstinence only pledges? Who could have possibly seen this coming? >
  
  You assume they even care about their families. >
  
  They know that they are in a position of power and privilege which allows them to "take care" of these 'indiscretions', be it their daughters or their mistresses. >
  
  It's Alabama,  could be one in the same..... >
  
  The Taliban deny Women the right to an Education, Iran insists Women are modest and have a male guardian. Alabama threatens imprisonment for Women exercising control of their Reproductive right’s. Republicans fight the Government’s right to tell you how to think in the Culture Wars, but have no problem telling a Woman how to act. The Taliban, the Ayatollahs, the Republicans all intent on controlling Women. >
  
  I have got to get out of this state >
  
  I'm 30 years old, lived in Alabama my entire life. I've observed things that do not make sense. I can't even form cohesive thoughts, right now, trying to make sense of it all. Education means nothing, it's all about hard work while being underpaid! There's a church every 800 feet, maybe even two. So many churches being built. Where does this money come from? Is some individual dropping millions on the construction of a church, just so they can receive tax free donations? Racism. Everywhere. Just the other day, I was at work, and this guy was talking to me about the gutters on the side of a home. Just casually drops a hard R when referencing the quality of work. I'll let you piece that one together, but it was just...so stupid... The overall intelligence is so low, it's demoralizing. The political atmosphere suffocates you. You want to run for office together? >
  
  46 years here and agree with your assessment. I'll either vote for you or help build a commune somewhere (it is pretty here though). >
  
  Aw, you're sweet. Your support really warmed my heart, for a moment. I'd not lie, I have no idea where I'd begin. There's this part of me, that stuck with me through my youth, but when competition becomes more than friendly, I lose interest. I'm not built to demoralize, and scheme my way to victory. This would be a challenge, I feel. Another difficulty I'd have to overcome, this being obvious, is dealing with differing opinions. I really would like for everyone to be happy, to have a chance to feel comfortable, and have hope that they can succeed. But when I begin to think about what I would be up against, I'm not so sure how to feel about engaging with it at all. The idea of upsetting other people, simply with how I view things, and not being to just walk away because I'm not just a random civilian anymore? I fear I'd be too frail. >
  
  I think we may have a lot of the same views. Commune it is! >
  
  GA district 14 here. Tell me where to sign up >
  
  No woman should ever vote republican again. >
  
  And yet here we are, time and time again. >
  
  There’s not a single age segment of women that voted Republican in the last presidential election over 43%. For 18-29 it’s over 2:1 democrat; 67:32%. (men of the same age are only 52% democrat voters in the last presidential election).
  The blame for republicans having power rests solely at the feet of white men age 30+.
  Edit: it is more nuanced than what I said. But if only women and minorities could vote the last half dozen republican presidents wouldn’t have happened. >
  
  It’s all about race. It’s always about race. Even when it’s not about race, it’s about race. The legacy of slavery in America will never fade away. >
  
  Its more about demographics. White women are the majority of women in the US so any move up or down in numbers will have a stronger impact in the percentage of women who vote as a whole. I hope they didnt post that stat to hate on white women, after all more black men vote for Trump than black women so not every demographic of people who voted for Trump can even be blamed individually when it took multiple groups together to vote for him. >
  
  Race is a major predictor, more reliable than almost anything else. Not white? You can make a safe bet the person didn’t vote for Trump. Sure there are exceptions, like anything, but compared to other demographic predictors it’s very consistent. >
  
  Lotta hispanic votes for trump in florida iirc.  I think the % actually increased in 2020.  46% in 2020 and 35% in 2016. >
  
  I’ve always wondered how. I mean truly, I’m morbidly curious how that happened. What did he do or promise to the latinx people to make them trust him after the blatant racism spewing from his mouth about his stupid wall? >
  
  From what I know the Hispanic voting base there is heavily from Cuba and not a fan of communism/socialism; so the Republicans focus on no socialism/communism checks their boxes. >
  
  Brought to you by the party of small government!  ( in small print: Now with more government!) >
  
  No, they really do want smaller government. A dictator is about as small as they can get. >
  
  Theocracy even better. Power in the hands of a non existent entity >
  
  with a book that can justify anything they want if they pick the right verse. even easier than the constitution >
  
  I find it so funny (and sad) these are the same people saying “muh freedoms” “don’t tell me I have to get a vaccine needle, my body!” Yet here they are dictating what someone can put in their body legally. So hypocritical! >
  
  Freedom of religion was supposed to protect people from being oppressed for their beliefs. The irony is that this “freedom” has been turned into a tool to oppress people who don’t share those beliefs. >
  
  I hope the Satanic Church makes these communion wafers >
  
  This is hardly 6 months since Roe v Wade was overturned at the federal level, this is just the beginning for Republican states. >
  
  They had plans for this shit before the decision was made. They've been salivating thinking about these moments. >
  
  Might as well add vasectomies. >
  
  Only if republican men stop getting them >
  
  No, republican men should never stop getting vasectomies. In fact, they should get a lot more of them. >
  
  2 apiece, just to make sure >
  
  Talabama never disappoints. >
  
  Livin’ the good life in Alabamistan. >
  
  Comments like these hinge on the notion that “-stan” is automatically a regressive suffix. It is funny until you happen to be from one of the many “-stan” countries who don’t share America’s horrible abortion fetish. >
  
  Aren't these the same people who don't want to get vaccinated because, you know. "my body my choice"? >
  
  Yeah but that would save actual lives, and there would be no one to slut-shame. >

  I don't think that the christo fascists care about your logic and the science.   D-: >
  
  I know but simply calling it the 'abortion pill' is misleading and detrimental to everyone. >
  
  I one hundred percent agree, but for the right wing media it is all about the "spin" and never about the science. And the tragic part of that is is that it works. >
  
  Can men take these without doing any bodily harm? >
  
  It's also used for treatment of arthritis and stomach ulcers. >
  
  I'm imagining women being arrested for filling prescriptions for those conditions now lol >
  
  Women have already been being denied them for those reasons in these states trying to ban abortion. >
  
  Remind me not to move to Alabama. >
  
  Might there be something wrong if you need a reminder? >
  
  Fuck Alabama 
  r/auntienetwork in case there are women there who need help >
  
  Right.  Prosecuted for taking a federally approved medicine.
  That AG needs to be sued PERSONALLY for this.  Doubt he can be.  But that is what needs to happen to get these people to stop this shit.  They hide behind their office or their LLC or whatever and never face accountability for be atrocious. >
  
  Republicans will do anything to stop a woman from having an abortion but will do nothing to help the mother or child after it is born. >
  
  They'll do anything to stop a woman from having an abortion, except for confronting the reasons why she might want one. >
  
  if US split into two countries, the republican half would die off and rot into absolute squalor and theyll still blame the Democrats. >
  
  They'd come up with a conspiracy that the liberal country was making their right wing country shitty. 
  Then the Conservative country would attack the liberal country with the only thing they all agree to spend money on; guns. 
  I've fantasized a lot about two separate countries and this is the best case scenario I can forsee. >
  
  Neither country gets DC, to polarizing to keep the original capitol. It has to become a museum.
  Next we draw the line DC to mexicali threw phoenix, as a straight line.
  Reps get texas, FL and a big chunk of the east coast sea board. Dems get a bit more land but its mostly fly over states.
  hawaii and alaska are given to canada. they get free medical and out of the shit show, but get free dual citizenship to  one side.
  The split is given a 2 year warning. Televise the shit out of it with "home swaps" as a tv show where people want to move to the other side. >
  
  If Hawaii joined Canada as a province and/or territory.. I would go there every damn year. >
  
  So much for that whole “small government” thing. >
  
  Sooo what do women do when they have a missed miscarriage? You take the same meds when you have a miscarriage. >
  
  Prosecuting people who take viagra would probably lower abortion rates more than this BS. >
  
  Enjoy your freedum Alabama! Small guberment and so on. >
  
  Smells very much like handmaids tale territory
