Though she argued that she supports “the ability for mothers and fathers to have total access for IVF,” Hyde-Smith said she would not support Duckworth’s legislation.

“The bill before us today is a vast overreach that is full of poison pills that go way to far, far beyond ensuring legal access to IVF,” she argued.

The Mississippi Republican said that the bill did not include limits on genetic engineering, surrogacy, or even cloning.

From another article

"It would legalize the creation of human-animal chimeras," Hyde-Smith said of the bill on the Senate floor on February 28.

Uh, someone did explain to her that Duckworth is just a name, right?

e; I have no idea how to make a joke out of this one, but TIL her husband is related to someone who murdered a civil rights activists trying to register people to vote in the 50s, which appears to be one of a dozen connections they have to KKK-types

Classic GQP obstructionist debate tactic: “I’m blocking ____ because it could legalize [ insert insane fear-mongering bullshit here ] that I saw in a movie/YouTube video that doesn’t actually exist!”

She is pandering to her base that eats up blatant lies like that. Her base wants to believe her because they want to believe any evil conspiracy theory they can to justify hating anyone different than them or that don't agree to worship their demagogue.

I always assume every anime was, but I see your point.

“It would legalize the creation of human-animal chimeras,”

Awesome, I would love to have actual IRL furries. Some of the smartest and kindest people I know are in that fandom.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
