Holy shit, I can't imagine a scenario where the state and prison could have acted any worse. That article goes from bad to worse to nuclear annihilation 😐
Immorality is the doctrine of the conservatives.
Just be bad. That's it.
How come even North Korea and Iran have paid maternity leave but the US, a country that supposedly idolizes mothers, does not?
Because we have a weirdly structured federalist system where people arbitrarily decided what could be regulated federally and then said it's so sacrosanct that it can or should never be changed, ever, for all of time. Also, making new laws is illegal. Triple stamped it no erasies
the US idolizes productivity, and ignores the lower classes' needs because they don't fund campaigns. the younger generations have more empathy so theres hope.
the younger generations have more empathy
Some, but not all. My mid-20s niece and her husband are racist. My kid is in high school and is friends with a pack of awesome kids who give me tremendous hope for the future, but there are lots of Tate fans, Trump fans, and other shitheads there too.
Kids are just younger people, they come in all different kinds just like adults - and just like adults, some of them are assholes.
Not saying we should write them off, just saying we shouldn't be complacent about the inherent goodness and decency of youth, because it's fictitious. They learn everything from watching us, and sometimes those lessons suck.
Every act of misogyny originates from conservatives. Misogyny is part of the "traditional" conservative foundation.
Why do women continue to associate with conservatives? Why do they even talk to them? It's fucking bizarre.
Racism.
Come on, misogyny is definitely part of the ideology of the right, but let's not act like there aren't plenty of liberal misogynists - have you ever read a Reddit thread having anything to do with women?
Not everyone is as liberal as people on Reddit like to say it is.
"So far, the U.S. Supreme Court has skirted the issue. It refused to take up a related case out of Rhode Island in October, and Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the Dobbs ruling that it “is not based on any view about if and when prenatal life is entitled to any of the rights enjoyed after birth.”
Now, Ziegler says, we see Texas arguing against fetal rights when it’s being sued for the death of an unborn child."
And that proves it. Anti abortion laws are only about control. If a fetus can't have rights of a born person, then having an abortion is not murder. Period end of story. It's about control and pandering to the forced birth crowd.
I wonder how many people she's witnessed miscarry or go in to early labour and left locked behind bars without medical attention, "just following orders". Well, in that line of work surely she can appreciate that her colleagues were just following orders too.
*this isn't a defence of the people who "stopped" her from leaving (without any restraint, and she doesn't even report being threatened with being fired or anything, just told not to go) or of how she was treated, it's a display of disgust and a pointing out of the hypocrisy of people who choose to actively oppress others for a living and then act all surprised when they get oppressed themselves by the exact same system.
I would have moved. No one is above your health and wellbeing. I don't know why she didn't told them to fuck off
Why does have anything to do with abortions, anyway? This is the place of work not respecting the woman's need for immediate medical leave. It should be dealt with as such.
The article actually talks about what it has to do with abortion in-depth.
