I suspect you're right. I'll be honest, I don't know the regional breakdowns in the US -- but I suspect it is very politically rational for some Congressmen/Senators to support abortion for their own individual election, even though it doesn't make sense for the party as a whole.

According to this morning's poll from Politico's (page 184): Do you think abortion should be: Total Male Female 25% 21% 29% Legal in All Cases 31% 33% 29% Legal in most cases 24% 26% 21% Illegal in most cases 11% 12% 11% Illegal in All Cases 9% 8% 11% Don't know / No Opinion The gender divide does not seem to be as wide some as some are suggesting here.

I was clearly trolling the lack of inclusive language that was being used here.

Men can have wombs too.

Anyone from any country can get an abortion in Canada. Not sure why this is even getting an article.

I don't see why Ontario would be preferable to New York state. Why is this not a men's issue as well?

Leave it alone, it's working fine the way it is. Introducing laws will just fuck it up. First someone will say that Abortion needs to be banned for sex selection purposes and after certain points in the pregnancy -- and then we'll slowly devolve into a huge debate that will only make things worse.

I will also say: I am happy that the Canadian Supreme Court generally does not try to take over from the legislative branch. I am happy that evangelicals have very little sway in Canadian politics

I do not know a single one of their names. This makes me happy. [And, despite what they look like, they are not Santa's elves.]

In Canada, it is illegal to shoot a handgun anywhere else other than a licensed gun range. It must be transported unloaded in a locked case away from view. The person transporting it must have a permit to transport it. I saw people walking around with legal guns on their hips in the US. No one is talking about banning hunting rifles -- which this dude had as well. Unfortunately the Police do not keep track of the origin of guns in any statistics, however, there is lots of evidence to suggest the biggest source of street/gang guns are illegal imports from the states.

We need these guys: Chen Kenichi was amazing to watch.

Drone carrying 11 guns found stuck in tree near Canada-U.S. border in southwestern Ontario BETA.CTVNEWS.CA Lambton County OPP are investigating after a drone carrying handguns got stuck in a tree. Banning hand gun collections won't solve the problem of guns on the streets of Toronto.

The idea was to suggest that the amount of people he is saying are pieces of shit is rather large and diverse. He is free to think of them any way he chooses.

There are all sorts of people who have used/are using the term "woke" in an unironic way. If Obama is now considered right-wing, .

Wastewater signals suggest that with Omicron 8% of the population is getting Covid every two weeks, those kind of infection rates aren't sustainable.

On April 14th, the Ontario Science Table projected that by the beginning of May Ontario would have between 350 and 600 people in the ICU with/from Covid. Today there are 206 (or less than 60% of their "low estimate of transmission"). Those projections led to the media accusing the government of "not following the science". Those projections only matter if they are accurate.

I'm old enough to remember when people thought spray painting things on churches/mosques/temples that accuses them of being evil was a bad thing.

I wonder why they called it that? It's almost like they were quoting the police in their story about the police investigation.

Montreal yesterday:

It was never called "woke". Not once, by anybody. Keep in mind that the current curriculum in Ontario introduced by the Conservatives in 2019 introduces sexual orientation as a mandatory discussion item Grade 5 (Liberal curriculum was Grade 6), they did move Gender identity to Grade 8 (Liberals had it in Grade 6). The Liberal document did have gender identity and sexual orientation as optional topics as early as Grade 3 though.

Don't strawman me.

1) It's a nuanced topic, which has multiple ways of looking at it. 2) Most elementary teachers I've met aren't the kind of folks that I would want to trust these kind of discussions on with my kds. 3) Critical thinking skills aren't fully developed at age 12 and 13, and often the teacher's point dominates any discussion in primary school 4) The lesson takes a rather radical/one-sided view on "environmental racism". The foreword and introduction were so cringeworthy in the way they were written, that the intentions lose credibility to me. Are Toronto-area black people really concerned about bears in our local parks? Do they view "nature as a white space where black faces are out of place"? I wasn't suggesting they were fragile. I was suggesting these kind of nuanced conversations were more appropriate for older kids.
