One of the reasons why fanbiys getting upset about the "wokification" of games and genre media is so irritating to me. Although i've been a minority wherever i live, i've never fe0tl particularly culturally ostracized due to lack of representation. A good chunk of that is that there were bootleg stores that would rent out recordings of my ethnic language tv. My parents went out of their way to teach me the language and history ,if not outright culture. I'm not about to assume any accepted nationhood of mine will bend itself for my cultural tastes, so I think getting parents active in cultural enrichment during formative times is very integral. Probably more that any amount of pop culutre wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is Roe bad law while Loving and Griswald are(maybe?) not? Because Roe murders a baby. When you set your ruling on that foundation I don't see how the 5 votes here could not uphold personhood if it comes before them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSpreader Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The education bit is about racism towards Mexicans and not wanting to educate us after the US squired TX and the SW. They want to do what they did originally and that's strip us of our citizenship and send us to a land that isn't ours. Whites are still colonialists. Mexicans successfully sued TX and thus ESL was born, which is how I went to school. This is about hurting us for a generation so they can declare us animals and make a white state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The future of the U.S. abortion battle: Think pills, not clinics | CBC News WWW.CBC.CA Abortion is an old battle. Pills are the new one. Most abortions are now with pills taken at home and we're about to witness a multi-front feud throughout the United States. Abortion foes may find it harder to crack down on pills than on clinics — and some Americans see Canada as a front in that battle. Quote A milestone was crossed during the pandemic, as people cut down on their movement and began seeking services from home, including online medical prescriptions. For the first time, pills became the main method of abortion in the U.S. — 20 years after they were first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That home-use medication was used in approximately 54 per cent of abortion cases in 2020, according to surveys by the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice research group. That new reality means new legal tensions. It'll take years to resolve such disputes if red states ban abortion and abortion pills — only to find they can't stop the shipment of pills. Here's one example. What will courts say if a red state seeks to stop a federal agency, the U.S. Postal Service, from shipping pills that are perfectly legal in the U.S. and federally approved? The prediction from a law professor at the University of Chicago: Those anti-abortion states won't manage to do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s many states that don’t allow the shipment of alcohol period and Usps won’t ship it at all, and all it takes is an act of congress to say these pills are forbidden from being shipped via usps much the same as alcohol(or banned as a method of abortion period). So we’re in the clear until 2025, pending presidential election results. Plus you can never tell how this ideologically driven court will rule on attempts by red-run states to regulate such things.
