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!

It's worse: if they ban the destruction of human morulae, they have to ban the use of the pill as well, at least the mini variant.
By my understanding, even with the mini pill (Progestogen-only), producing an embryo is unlikely. The pill thickens mucus membranes in the cervix, meaning most sperm do not make it into the reproductive system. And even low dose pills inhibit egg release 50% of the time, with more moderate doses getting to over 95%.
IIRC the main mechanism of the mini pill is that they prevent nidation. That's why they are (were?) banned by the catholic church.
Just looked it up – there are three mechanisms. Yours, mine and an induced tibary dysfunction. TIL, thank you.
That is something they would welcome.
The more unwanted, abused, amd uneducated.children, the more easily led by base emotion voters.
Uneducated hicktards being uneducated hicktards.
Rapidly reproducing uneducated hicktards that vote Republican.
You've seen Idiocracy, right?
Republicans trying to outdo each other in a race to the Far Realms.
Its not actually hypocritical to want to ban something that you used. Its like if you used Lemmy for a decade and want it banned, you can see the dangers of using Lemmy, you would actually be most aware of the dangers of the thing.
Yes, because having a social media account is EXACTLY the same as having a child 🙄 For the record, your example is still hypocritical, it's just not nearly as life-changing
Yeah, I am aware they are not the same thing, I just expected people could extrapolate the idea out to any number of things. I guess that was a poor assessment.
I'll upvote you for admitting to your mistake, that's better than most people on the internet. Thank you
Thank you!
