It took Conservatives doing what they said they would do - taking away a woman’s right to control their own body - to wake enough people up to get them to the polls.

Conservatives have a whole facist menu of rights they want to take away from people. Everyone better remember that they WILL do what they say if you continue to vote for them.

They are already successfully doing it in the south hopefully this can help turn the tide against them and shine a light on their shady antics.

you guys know rn our coffee and chocolate, and our clothes, etc… are produced already by enslaved children in thirf world countries right, there is no ‘return’, theres more slaves nkw than at any point in history

GreyEyedGhost ,

While I agree that slavery is terrible and should be stopped, it’s a bit of a non sequitur to say there are more slaves than ever given there are so many more people than ever.

Now, if you’d like to talk about forced labor in developed nations, and the number of de facto slaves in specific countries where you wouldn’t expect to find any, that might be more relevant.

And yes, the vast majority of chocolate involves slavery in it’s growth and harvesting, which is also terrible.

Yeah. Without slavery capitalism as we know it would fail.

Yeah exactly what I predicted has happened. People who were "pro-life" and protesting were still able to get abortions when they needed it. And they were taking advantage of that. But now their shitty decisions are actually affecting them, and not just every other woman who is a "murderer" but their abortion is different, and so they are not very happy that they got what they wanted.

People OVERWHELMINGLY want abortion to remain legal. Every time it's on the ballot people vote to keep it legal. That's why Republicans are trying so hard to keep it off the ballot or require a super majority of the vote. They know it's unpopular.

The whole pro-life movement is stupid anyway. It frames the debate as abortion vs. no abortion when in reality it is about legal, safe, regulated abortion vs. illegal, unsafe, unregulated abortions. They are fighting against a straw-man position of people who love abortions and want to get them all the time instead of using contraception when in reality everyone agrees that abortion is something to only be used when all other options to prevent pregnancy have failed.

Almost 25 years old and still just as relevant today.

The modern GOP must be removed from the levers of power.
