Re: 2022 Midterms thread
 

Lets be honest nonniey, how many women do you think exist in America that would carry a pregnancy for 6+ months dealing with all the daily issues and then decide on a whim they don't want the baby anymore? Most of all third trimester abortions are due to fetus viability or the life of the mother being at risk.

You're talking about women who have spent 6+ months preparing their home for a child, spending lots of money on doctor visits making sure the pregnancy is going to plan, getting emotionally attached/picking names/etc. only to decide in the 4th quarter they would kill an innocent child with no health issues? You can make the most legitimate argument you want this is a scenario that happens too often in America and I'd still think you're fucking crazy. It's an argument that is not based in reality. Feel free to keep trying though.

But honestly Mooby most abortion, 94%, happen 15 weeks or prior. So with with the same logic: 15 weeks ban makes perfect sense then with the exception a mother life is in danger there after with 2 doctors signing off.

Goddamn how many times do I have to post the links that show there are 10-15K late term abortions every year and the majority are elective?????? You all accept the data when I post it and then seem to immediately dump that data from your memory.

That said if these abortions aren't occurring what's the f-ing problem with passing regulations that ban abortions that in your view aren't occurring???

The point is to pay millions for the threats to democracy to win their primaries then immediately say you can't vote for them in the actual election because they're threats to democracy.

I will still say it's a disgusting move to pay millions to the people that are supposedly a threat to democracy.

Are they a threat or not? Apparently not.

Frankly, if you're justifying democrats donating millions to candidates that are threats to democracy, then we don't have anything to talk about. It's either you don't care about democrats having any scruples or you don't actually think this threat to democracy stuff is real. It has to be 1 or the other.

First they will win, second there is no mistake they are racist, sexist, ignorant and will ruin the Country.

How's this for a fair trade off?

Outlaw 3rd trimester abortions (shit, even abortions after 20 weeks, IDC) except for cases where the mother's life or the fetus' life isn't viable, seems fair right?

The only problem with that argument is the large amount of conservative states that are actually trying to pass laws banning abortions with no exceptions. So fuck your stats and your position. Your opinions don't line up with the actual policies your party is trying to make law.

[url]https://news.yahoo.com/why-people-think-fascism-greatest-133406945.html[/url]

Face it , you're a "fascists".

One of the most articulate thinkers in this group was the early-20th-century philosopher Giovanni Gentile, whom Italian dictator Benito Mussolini called “the philosopher of fascism.” And many fascists, like Gentile, claim they are not opposed to democracy. On the contrary, they think of themselves as advocating a more pure version of it.
According to fascists, only those who share the correct attributes can be part of “the people” and therefore true members of society. Others are outsiders, perhaps tolerated as guests if they respect their place and society feels generous. But outsiders have no right to be part of the democratic order: Their votes should not count.

This helps explain why Tucker Carlson claims “our democracy is no longer functioning,” because so many nonwhites have the vote. It also helps explain why Carlson and others so vigorously promote the “great replacement theory,” the idea that liberals are encouraging immigrants to come to the U.S. with the specific purpose of diluting the political power of “true” Americans.

Reading the Health Services Management paper it sounds like late term abortions while elective are the result of lack of insurance and younger. This is a health policy issue not a women choosing to change their mind issue.

The data is also woefully out of date nobody should be citing or referencing a decades old data, but it does reference data on abortions is underfunded and lacks appropriate documentation. How many of these are teenagers hiding their pregnancy for fear? Don't have access to resources in early trimesters? Fighting with insurance to pay for procedure? etc.

The article uses this as source 4 which shows some of the complications and reasons for these late terms. [url]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24188634/[/url]

If we are going to put a ban then we need to ensure we are providing essential supports, which we won't.

My guess is with the out right bans we are seeing you will see third trimester abortions go up not down because it compounds the reasons people have late term abortions.

I also have an issue with republicans calling the over turn of Roe as pushing it back to the states an now clamoring for a national law. Both parties push the goal posts I get it but regardless of who is doing it, it is insulting and disingenuous.

[quote=SunnySide;1327737]Wisconsin Republicans, who have had a viselike grip on the Legislature since enacting the nation’s most aggressive gerrymander after their 2010 sweep of the state’s elections, make no apologies for pressing their advantage to its limits. Michels, the party’s nominee for governor, told supporters this week, “Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I’m elected governor.”

Former Rep. Reid Ribble, a Republican who served northeastern Wisconsin, said, “There’s a lot of complaining about gerrymandered House or state Assembly seats, and there’s some truth to that.”

“When you can win a majority of voters and have close to a third of the seats, it’s not true democracy,” said Greta Neubauer, the Democratic leader in the State Assembly. “We are very much at risk of people deciding that it’s not worthwhile for them to continue to engage because they see how rigged the system is against the people of the state in favor of Republican politicians.”

In northwest Wisconsin, the three incumbent Democratic legislators decided against running for reelection under new, more Republican-friendly maps. Under the old maps, Biden carried each of the districts, which are home to large numbers of unionized workers in paper mills, mines and shipyards. Under the new lines Republicans adopted last year, Trump would have won them all.

Im feel like disengaging as well .. whats the point. States can have more democrat voters then republican but due to gerrymandering have no say.

Political system is broken.[/quote]

Meant to comment on this when you posted it. Gerrymandering is such bullshit. Cheating without cheating.

I really wish all 50 states could have a non-partisan board or whatever, that created new districts from scratch that did not include any metrics about the party affiliations of the people in each proposed district.

Should simply be based on population areas or geographical areas. Maybe just divide the total population by the number of districts needed, then just chunk off the state/county/city/etc. into districts that have an equal amount of people. The chunks could just start at one corner of the district and expand out until the right number of people are covered. Then start the next district from that spot. I don't know if that's a great idea or not, but it's better than political gerrymandering.

North Carolina - 43% Dem, 41% republican ... seats are 8 R, 5 Ds and if the new republican maps get approved (also adding 1 seat) it will be 10 Republicans 4 Dems
