The US has been the richest nation in the history of the entire world for well over a century, but they still have a child poverty rate of 21%, compared to an OECD average of 11%.
It's just bullschitte for them to say "we can't afford it."

Roevember Is Coming
There is a colossal uprising underway right now and it doesn’t involve an armed mob storming the Capitol, or a mass shooting at a July 4th parade, or guys I went to high school with trying to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Rather, it looks like this:

Right wing conservatives are backpedaling and scrubbing their websites and campaign literature of their previous hard anti-abortion rhetoric. The dog is starting to hurt from being thumped around and around that tire.
Please Dems don't let people forget the shitstorm that has been raining on them was caused by these (insert worst pejorative)

There’s a few here who are completely fine with what this woman has had to go through, and think their personal view should be forced on this woman and her family.

Apparently… as long as those forced birthers feel good, that’s what matters.

I've never understood why abortion as lifestyle choice is a bad thing, a pregnant seventeen year old is going to find her lifestyle turned on it's head if she goes full term as well. Motherhood or a childhood with less limitations? Either option seems legit to me.

Abortion is a gift from God?
There is a great podcast on the history of abortion and its politicisation called The lie that binds.

Only in America... . Anything to stop voters their right to an opinion.
An abortion rights petition signed by more than 735,000 Michigan voters could be kept off the Nov. 8 ballot because of what opponents say are "60 missing spaces between what were formerly words."
Welcome to the great "kerning" debate of 2022, the biggest fight over a seemingly tiny petition issue since a font size challenge in 2012 nearly derailed an eventually successful push to repeal the state's emergency manager law.
Legal access to abortion in Michigan is tenuous, maintained only by court orders temporarily suspending enforcement of a 1931 ban set to take effect when the high court overturned nearly 50 years of protections this summer.
The Reproductive Freedom for All proposal aims to enshrine abortion rights in the Michigan constitution and overturn the 91-year-old law that makes performing an abortion punishable by up to four years in prison.
But two Republicans on the four-member Board of State Canvassers voted Wednesday to keep the measure off the ballot because of the spacing issue, otherwise known as kerning, which is generally defined as adjustable spacing between individual letters or characters in a document.
While several words appeared to be merged together on the petition, Bridge Michigan was able to detect clear spaces on Thursday by copy-and-pasting the text into various word processing programs.

Middle Ages or Afghanistan. Take your pick.
Hints at what will happen in future elections if enough of these #)#$&)#&s get into office. The upcoming midterms will really tell the tale. Are Americans really that stupid or is the quiet rational majority waking up?
I honestly can't tell which will happen. Kansas was issue specific, but will there be Roevember carry over to other issues?
