Political Discussion

My snapchat and instagram feeds have lit up with divisiveness.

People are are Pro Choice or Pro Life are clashing and making comments at each other and it's getting ugly. Each side sees the other as morally in the wrong and are drawing lines where if you stand on the other side, whether your friends or family we are never talking again.

One common meme I have seen from the Pro Choice side is about how a women's reproductive health is more regulated in this country than guns. The Pro life side is shooting back by changing the language to say that the pro choice people are saying guns have "more rights" than women and how absurd that is. Guns aren't people, they have no rights.

Locally there have been lots of protests in Boston. Marches to the state capital closing streets.

no, but guns are cherished more than women in America.

we’ve finally established the utopian society built on the twin pillars of gun care and health control.

If contraception goes, then viagra needs to go too. If you don’t want anything messing with “God’s plan” that means EVERYTHING.

Too bad it's not about God's plan at all

I don't like the "guns have more rights" pap that's going around. White men with guns have all the rights, but those same guns in the legal hands of black men are used to justify the murder of those black men by police.

Now pointing out that a corpse has more bodily autonomy than a woman or anyone with a uterus...

Opinion: Roe was very bad for America. The court gives us a chance to reset | CNN

O. Carter Snead writes, "By my lights, Roe and its progeny have been very bad for America. By virtue of those precedents, the Supreme Court imposed on the nation an extreme, one-size fits all regulatory regime for abortion of its own invention, without any justification in the text, history, or...

Angered to see a front page opinion piece like this front and centered on CNN.
 
I just watched a video from a park next to where Russia bombed the Mall in Kremenchuk. It's tough. You see that sort of thing dramatized in movies and TV, but seeing real people run in fear who were just one moment prior enjoying a nice day... It's tough. I hope the Russian people get out from underneath Putin soon and I hope he rots in jail for these crimes.

Every day it's getting harder and harder to just accept this world. At what point do we just start overthrowing governments?

The thing that angers me is Russia considers people fighting for Ukraine as committing treason against Russia and any who has been captured by Russia will be sentenced to death. This includes 3 Americans who went to fight with Ukraine who ended up being captured.

Russia, you are the aggressor here. These people are fighting to defend their homes and family and to you that means they should be put to death?

We really do live in a messed up world.
 
Oh also this who weird leftist purity thing too. Let’s just all do some compromising and build a progressive alliance to boot these godforsaken conservatives out. You might not get everything you want but the alternative is getting everything you don’t want.

Also boot out those idiot anti semites.
 
I love how in interviews with governors of Anti Abortion states, these governors keep getting called out for spending the least per capita on healthcare, family services, Medicaid (where 80% of recipients are children), education, SNAP and so on. They also have the worst life expectancy and healthcare in the nation ranking in the bottom 15 states.

The governors were asked exactly what they were going to do about this now that abortions are illegal.

And the common answer was "work with non profits and churches to cover the need." In other words, it's not the states responsibility or problem.

They say they are "pro life", but all I see is they are "pro birth" and then they don't give a shit.
