Politics

Nice.

I think in the past (and I'm old enough to remember), both abortion and miscarriage carried a self-imposed shame/shunning silencing.

But now, people are not ashamed to talk about it. And those stories are surfacing, even in people's own circles. When someone hears a story of a wanted pregnancy that goes wrong, and the young mother's case of near-death sepsis as well as the damage to carrying future pregnancies--people will catch on.

These dogs have caught the car they were chasing. I wish it didn't include the collateral damage to young families, but here we are. I hope people get to the ballot box with these stories in their heads. We should make sure of it....

Here's hoping this turns out to be their LBJ moment, who commented upon signing the Civil Rights Act, I paraphrase here: "We (meaning Democrats) just lost the entire south for at least a generation".
Although the HUGE difference is that LBJ did the correct and decent thing, and it was all done within the letter and spirit of the law, while all these ignorant, festering right-wing republicans fail miserably in every one of these qualities.

This article is interesting since I think it shows what a lot of us have gone through. Since Dobbs I have gotten more pro-choice than previously due to both thinking more about the topic and getting more informed. I think many people started seriously thinking about it instead of reacting to what they have heard from leaders. I really saw the harm of any abortions restrictions has had on people

Really shot themselves in the foot here. Look at those graphs.

We enough blow back we could get laws protecting it on the federal level. There are cases of politicians who passed anti-abortion laws being dumb founded when it has the expected results.
