I can’t wait for the day the State of Union is given by someone in shorts and a wife beater with Adidas slip ons and socks on with a neck tat. 

 

I'd probably do it in a suit with a fitted.

I really don’t see Matthew McConaughey getting a neck tat.

As an Italian, my stance on dress codes is this: wear whatever you want (as long as there’s no inappropriate sayings on your clothing).

 

HOWEVER, if you come in wearing crocks on your feet, I’m having you thrown in the river wearing a different type of shoes.

Crocs are the ultimate dad shoe. Sometimes you just need something that's easy to slip on when you've got your arms full of a squirmy toddler.

Nothing more stylish to check your mail in when you're manning an infant! :D

Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska said Sunday that he will call a special session of his state's legislature to pass a total ban on abortion if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade this term.

As always, anti-abortion chodes stoke the public’s ire with imaged scenarios in which women wait until the last possible moment to terminate a pregnancy, as if women are aiming their birth canals into a garbage chute because they woke up after 9 months of pregnancy and decided to get an abortion on a whim.

 

 

Why is it always the worst possible scenario for all of these smooth brains? Should a woman be able to have an abortion when she’s crowning? Why can’t I own a bazooka, antifa might have a tank? If I can’t call someone the n-word in the public square without fear of being coldcocked, do we really have freedom of speech?

That’s not any different than all this what about rape/incest/ectopic pregnancies talk which are like 1% of all abortions. Which is sadly all these “debates” come down to. What about the minuscule number of abortions due to danger to the life of the mother versus how dare you support murdering a baby two seconds away from popping out of the vagina which happens like twice a year or something.

Because Christians (especially evangelicals and those associated with them) love to think in absolutes. If something isn't with God, then it must be evil, and people will be doing the most evil things.

That's...not a good comparison.

It is objectively different. Rapes happen, pregnancies from rapes happen, even if they are not common.

 

Women actively giving birth do not decide to have abortions. This doesn’t happen. Ob/gyns don’t come into a birthing room expecting to deliver a baby but also equipped to terminate the pregnancy in case the person having the baby changes their mind.

 

It’s a bullshit talking point designed to paint people seeking reproductive care as flakey and incapable of making their own decisions.

Dodger is correct that the discussion almost always devolves to edge cases, which is a diversion. For example, were an anti-abortion activist to grant that rape/incest/ectopic pregnancies/etc. are protected reasons for abortion, the pro-abortion activist is not going to go along with limits on the vast majority of other abortions because the edge cases are not why they support the right to an abortion.

Someone crowning deciding to have an abortion is not an edge case, it is fiction.

It’s not objectively different. It’s bullshit talking points to skirt around the fact that the vast majority of abortions are because the mother doesn’t want the baby, and you know if talk about that instead of rape and super rare dangerous pregnancies people will have a less favorable view of abortion.

Do you believe abortion should be legal?

The one thing I learned from my personal experience with choosing to terminate a very much wanted pregnancy for medical reasons, it is so much more common than you could imagine. Getting news at your 20 week anatomy scan that the child you very much want to have and have been fighting to have for years, either isn't viable, or is likely to lead a severely difficult life, starts this insane countdown clock in which you have to make a decision before you get to 23 weeks and it becomes much more difficult to get an abortion; even in a "uber liberal" state like California. So you're running around from specialist to specialist, pulling strings and calling in favors to get bumped to the front of the list for specialists and even then you feel like you're making the decision with a gun to your head. 

 

And once you do it, I cannot tell you how many people will send you a private message or pull you aside and tell you something like that happened to them. It's purely anecdotal but for those limited times that it happens, people in difficult positions deserve to not be treated like monsters and should be free to make those completely unwanted, absolutely soul-crushing decisions.
