Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I absolutely fucking hate pregnancy crisis centers. These fucks and the assholes that fund them are fucking sociopathic. When a woman is pregnant she has an extremely important and difficult decision to make that will effect her life in a fundamental way for at least two decades but probably permanently... trying to manipulate someone making such an important decision because of your bullshit holy book (that doesn't even care about this) is morally fucking reprehensible. I've spoken with people who have been unable to talk about being forced into conversations with these asshats without breaking down in tears - these fuckers inflict deep trauma.
In a few decades these fucks will be viewed in the same general light as eugenicists and we can't get there fucking soon enough.
Fun fact, the moral permissibility of abortion has far and away the most consensus among philosophers. Literally philosophers are more confident that abortion should be permissible than that the external world exists.
As such, you can use opinions on abortion as a litmus test for sociopathic tendency since it’s such an easy moral question. In doing so, however, you’d be confronting the fact that 30% of Americans are moral black holes from whom no rational opinion can be extracted. In that context, slavery, misogyny, religion, and all the evils of humanity suddenly make sense.
It's wild that it's Planned Parenthoods that get burned down, not the ones that deserve to be.
"When a woman is pregnant she has an extremely important and difficult decision to make that will effect her life in a fundamental way for at least two decades but probably permanently…"
Yeah... Taking a coat hanger to her hoo-hah for the sake of avoiding motherhood is likely to leave her barren
This is the exact kind of bullshit that crisis pregnancy centers use to manipulate vulnerable women.
"This is the exact kind of bullshit that crisis pregnancy centers use to manipulate vulnerable women"
Crisis pregnancy centers exist to deter women from aborting. Encouraging chicks to DIY that shit is contrary to their mention
