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!

Blame the dead women, you mean.
Roe was passed based on privacy, which is reason enough, imo. People don't need to know other people's business and some dipshit busybody aspiring HOA presidents opinion shouldn't even be in the same conversation as a medical professionals.
Roe passed the court on privacy but Roe passed public opinion because of the many many deaths from back alley alternatives. Roe was about saving women's lives. Conservatives can bemoan the lost fetuses but losing the women is worse. The women cant go on and have other children if they're dead.
My grandmother was taught by her mother. My mother by my grandmother. My sisters were spared this dark legacy thanks to Roe.
I mentioned Roe and privacy one time around my Grandmother. Unbeknownst to me, gran used to protest and I'm supposing, burn her bra's, cuz she went red immediately and set me right. The kind of mad that made my mom admonish me even tho she didn't even hear what I said, it was just THAT tone. Grandma only got that fired up one other time- when I said McCartney was more talented than Lennon, but I'll die on that hill, sorry Gran.
They were both riding the coattails of the truly talented Harrison. I prefer Lennon if it's between him and McCarthy.
Harrison wrote all my favorite Beatles songs. I wrote em out when I was in my late teens and looked it up, every single one written by Harrison.
