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!

Well here is a thought, knuckleheads, hows about supporting women's reproductive health rights?
But if they did that, they wouldn’t be able to have the control they want!
💀
Crazy how focusing on what fundies want rather than trying to bring back manufacturing jobs or improving infrastructure means you lose votes.
Who could have possibly seen this coming.
Good, let it hurt their chances.
They shouldn’t be able to tell women, or anyone, what can be done with their bodies and reproductive health.
Thoughts and prayers.
Pots and pears.
Oh no! Actions have consequences? Who knew?
And how about not selling assault weapons to just about everybody?
Rights for preborn
Okay, lets go all the way with that. We need to assure future housing, so let's build homes and apartments instead of another office building or shopping mall. Also the preborn will need healthcare, so we're going to have to funnel tax money into public Healthcare reform. Those preborn deserve great doctors when they join the world, after all. Now they're going to need secure access to good food, clean water, and healthy air, so let's start banning fossil fuels and switch to nuclear and renewable energy sources. Oh and someone make a note, the EPA needs to have the power to shut down business that pollute, no more of this namby-pamby "fines" junk, time for criminal charges and businesses going bye-bye. Gonna need to get rid of the crop-genetics monopolies too, we need healthy and numerous varieties of food from a diverse network of farms. Good first meeting, group! Next meeting bring one page of ideas for undoing the damage to the climate that's already been done, and be ready for abolishing slavery worldwide once and for all.

Hopefully I didn't misunderstand the poster, cause it seemed like it was someone using the 'unborn' as a shill group again. But fight fire with fire, right?
