Good.
These places often disguise as places to "support women and pregnancy" and often are just places to guilt and pressure. Literally state sponsored religion.

If not outright kidnap people. People don't know what they're going in to, they don't tell them "come here to not have an abortion", they pretend they care about them only to do everything they can to stop them accessing healthcare.
Not to mention lie to women until it's too late to get an abortion. They'll lie about things including abortion risks, the gestation of the pregnancy (so the woman will think it's earlier when it's not), and hide any pregnancy risks that the woman has (if they know about them at all because the staff is not medical professionals).
Exactly. The goal is to make it impossible for them to have an abortion, not to give them the necessary information or convince them to see things their way.
Ugh I'm so glad Shapiro won
I remember when there was a real fear the elections would go to an insurrectionist and a snake oil salesman. Phew.
I didn’t even know this existed and apparently I’ve been paying for it with my tax dollars. I don’t donate to the Salvation Army anymore because of shit like this. Tax dollars should never have been used for it.
This is such a backward state. I mean we have State liquor stores. I'll take any hint of progressive movement forward.
Yep. We can’t have state run vehicle inspections, but we have state run liquor stores.
I’m originally from FL. Once upon a time it was a liberal state, but it’s constantly flooded with new immigrants from the north that don’t want to pay taxes (aka Freeloaders) who are mostly right wingers. I’m hopeful that this trend will continue and that enough right wingers from PA will move there and result in PA becoming a little less conservative.
I was always under the impression that the employees' union lobbying is what keeps the PA state stores a thing.
That or the taxes and profits brought in by a monopoly on booze.
Huh? Most Canadian provinces have provincial liquor store, like SAQ, LCBO and MBLL. I don't think that part is particularly backwards. Quebec even has the provincial SQDC store for cannabis.
I didn't know they were state funded anywhere, wtf?
Glad it will be the end.
Did i pick the wrong century?!
