  • I saw my first 'coal roller' recently. Wtfffff. How is that legal? Such a spectacular display of myopic dickishness.

  • Also those with fertility issues and step-families. It's an... interesting play for the younger ticket.

  • This is not a plan.

    We know what is happening in Palestine is an atrocity. Who stops the sale of arms and bombs. How do we get them into office? Outline how this works practically. What levers of power are we throwing to get the result we want? Be specific.

    Just saying because we should stop selling is cheap. 1/3 of the cointry doesn't care, another 1/3 likes the genocide. How do we outmaneuver them?

    Because not voting blue, and not having anything more concrete than 'because we shouldn't' doesn't save a single Palestinian but comes with the doorprize of 10 year olds forced to have their rapist's baby, and open season on trans people, blank checks to corpos, the end of public schools, etc. Performative morality is a blight.

  • Yes! The car was the important bit, not the unhinged punched a car until they needed medical attention part. Prime leadership material.

  • Okay. What is your plan to stop it? Omit the magic beans. I have allergies.

    Lay it out step by step.

  • Does everyone think those space suits are sexy or is it an American thing?

  • The best people tell me Hillary Clinton had a tamagotchi just like it. So sad. So sad.

  • At least they finally have to crack open the war chest on this.

  • With one hand your ignorance can cover the sky. How impressive! Now talk to me about EMTALA, or Griswold, or Obergefell—and we're not even touching the thrilling possibilities of executive action. People who are paying attention (and aren't straight white men devoid of empathy) are taking this seriously. Maybe you should investigate why.

  • The crazy 'spiritual advisor' that punches cars and abuses staff. No thanks!

  • Imo she's trying to shield progressives from being the scapegoat, like how we got the blame for dem dysfunction in '16.

  • +1 for sopuli. Chill, only defederates from meta, nazis and sketchy porn.

  • Yea, fuck all those guys who get how fptp works and want reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, the NWS, the EPA, public schools, climate policies, consumer rights... damn cultists.

  • But they're not really disconnected? Sometimes abortion is the treatment for PPP and PPD. I know people don't want to hear it. But it is true. Some people are not equipped to handle the pregnancy and birth, and to stay sane they need the out. Any barriers you put between them and their treatment makes these events more likely to happen.

    There was an American woman-whose name I forget but doubtless others will remember, who under the pressure of her fundamentalist christian husband kept having kids, and had PPD after each, and it was worse every time. She had counseling, she had anti-psychotics, her episodes were documented, but she was in an environment where she was pressured to carry to term. With her last pregnancy her PPD gave her religious delusions that her children were going to end up in Hell so she drown them all in a bathtub to save their souls. Pregnancy can be fraught on a healthy and willing person, what kind of pressure do you think it puts on someone who isn't?

  • It is a bit depressing how many guys in this thread don't understand what pregnancy and childbirth can do to someone. Side effects may include: suicidal and homicidal urges. Google Postpartum Psychosis and Postpartum Depression.

    Everyone is asking but why didn't she act in a sane way and give it up for adoption? Well, there are good odds she needed something prescribed to her to allow her to be sane. Pregnant people's bodies are undergoing major chemical changes, labor opens the floodgates. Which is why it is very important to make it easy and stigma free to let everyone out of the queue who does not want to ride the ride, and make healthcare accessible to those that do.

  • Pregnancy and birth normally is traumatic and fucks you up. Your brain is doing wild things chemically and drowning in hormones, that sometimes actually push people into a temporary insanity. People with postpartum psychosis can become violent to themselves and others, hallucinate, have delusions, etc. It happens ~2 out of 1,000 births. And is more likely if the person had an untreated mental health problem beforehand. Getting angry that somebody cut you off is not a medical thing. Psychosis 10 minutes after labor usually is.
