Arsenal seem to be spending considerably on their new attacking line…

^^^^^ Judiasm isn’t Christianity , haha…..I hear you tho. Problem is those others aren’t the churches with the money and power. It’s the huge southern baptists doing this.

The Handmaid's Tale

I watched the first series. It was grim.

The anger that @federica expresses and others also send us is skilful or wrathful. America is a nightmare for some. Unsafe.

And last, but not least…..Fuck the Christians in this country. I’m no longer agreeing to disagree. If you don’t have the same morals and values that I do….go to hell. Figuratively or literally. I don’t care which one.

… remember some Christians will support civil rights and will be in solidarity …

A work of fiction televised in the UK.

"The Handmaid's Tale
2017 ‧ Sci-fi ‧ 4 seasons
The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state."

I'm sorry. Did I say Fiction?

Rdiculously bad joke time:
Overheard somewhere:
Be good. If you can't be good, just what are you? A poitician?
It has been said that politicians are the ones making the laws that then apply to
everyone...except politicians.

Will it? We’ll see. You’re more optimistic than I am. If it does, it must have triggered the “right” people this time. Black/brown women and Indigenous women have been sounding the alarm for a long time. Hillary warned us what would happen if the far right got those Court seats. It’s gonna come down to voter turnout…. Or money…. WITH the American peoples ability to educate themselves on this shit and know what’s going on and how.I’m not hyper confident about that, either

I didn't do a good job explaining. I was reminded of how much of my suffering is self inflicted illusion I'm welcome to stop. Maybe even more relevant to me the second time around.

From a legislative perspective, what is the likelihood for right-to-choice laws to be voted on and adopted throughout the local, state, federal level going forward? I'd think allowing for it to be voted on would show our majority interest for choice rather quickly?

State by state it will vary widely. Many red (Republican) states are implementing some seriously harsh and draconian laws. Virginia's Republican governor, on the other hand, is proposing basically France's 15 week cutoff.

Going forward though, there are going to be many horror stories and gross injustices that will begin to put a face to prolife policies that have up until now mostly been imagined fears. We're not unavoidably stuck in a dystopian downward spiral, this will trigger a response in the opposite direction.

You know how Russia has been excluded from Sport competitions, and all manner of global events, because basically Putin is a power-crazy little despot with criminal intentions?

Can't we do the same with America?

Seeing as they're intent on slowly destroying every single right there could possibly be for half of its population, I think that can be classed as a crime against humanity.... can't it?
