Or AFAB which is what most people use.

"So far, the U.S. Supreme Court has skirted the issue. It refused to take up a related case out of Rhode Island in October, and Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the Dobbs ruling that it “is not based on any view about if and when prenatal life is entitled to any of the rights enjoyed after birth.”

Now, Ziegler says, we see Texas arguing against fetal rights when it’s being sued for the death of an unborn child."

And that proves it. Anti abortion laws are only about control. If a fetus can't have rights of a born person, then having an abortion is not murder. Period end of story. It's about control and pandering to the forced birth crowd.

Maybe you should read the article to find out why your content makes zero sense whatsoever. Assuming you know that the president personally fucked this woman over is crazy.

No, Republicans have the government...

  • in my uterus
  • in children's and adult's bathrooms (trans)
  • filling paperwork for nicknames (trans)
  • preventing adults from being trans
  • preventing children from being trans
  • preventing children from learning the truth about their bodies
  • deciding any and every parent can demand a school do whatever they want
  • trying to make it a criminal offense for a librarian or bookseller to loan/sell a child a book called The Bluest Eyes about 1940's racism
  • yes specifically that book

How is any of that small government?

As for your argument about the ACA, that was created as a bipartisan effort with tons of concessions by Democrats only for Republicans to vote no anyway.

Sure, vaccine mandates. As if we don't have those already and haven't for at least a hundred years. That's new and bigger government.

Not at all. An understandable comment given that you ignored the thoughtful comments about why doctors are striking.

The doctor I know works 12 hour shifts, has a really nice, but nowhere near million dollar house, and isn't ER or ICU. Anecdotes are just anecdotes.

Covid taught us that.

Whoa, never heard of that. Gonna go look it up.

No..... Not to my understanding. Inflation, while an average, is not equally rising across all things. It is possible for the few that control food to raise prices together. Same with clothing and other industries. I think it's also exacerbated by the shipping fiasco during covid and the fact that corporations always want more profit. As a general rule, any time prices rise for any reason, and shipping can make everything rise together, if people still pay that price, it will not be lowered.

The actual study I've been able to find was only phone based and only in swing states, but didn't list which states exactly.

I don't really know what the answer is either, but you're right. The extremes we see in porn today are very concerning. The things you listed shouldn't be in main stream porn and need consent and open conversation outside of sex before adults who understand what they are doing actually do them. I find it crazy that it's made its way into mainstream videos and blame the idea of things having to be ever crazier, ever more extreme to get attention.

But blocking teenagers off from porn, or trying to, won't help anything. I think we need to be open, honest, and have real sex education. I also think these things are why some sex ed now includes actually how to have sex rather than the physical components. But that serves to give the prudish more ammo of how sex education is porn itself even when meant to be purely educational and combat these extremes people are seeing. There's so much nuance to the issue that I think a lot of people get bogged down on one part or on their own preconceptions.
