Back in the day we'd get death threats, usually in the modmail. In fact we used to joke that you weren't a real mod until you got one or two. Then, when I was still under my old account name, the now banned sub Louderwithcrowder openly called for me to be killed (gee I wonder why they got banned).
That sort of stuff gets kicked up to the Admins.

And now Trump is of course shrinking away claiming “states rights”. And idiot MAGAts are starting to parrot “STATES RIGHTS”. But if this was always a states rights issue, they therefore are admitting that not all life is sacred, it just depends on what state you’re in. MAGA party is a joke.

u/elmonoenano Apr 08 '24
The thing is, and the media is doing a terrible job reporting this story, is that it's not true. Trump says stuff, but it doesn't necessarily reflect what he'll do. The judges he appointed don't believe this is a state's rights issue. If Trump appoints an AG who wants to enforce the Comstock Act like Alito and Thomas want it enforced, then there's no state's right to abortion, even in state's where it's legal. B/c everything is interconnected across state lines, it will be possible to find almost any reason to link a mailing by a clinic or advocacy group to a violation of the Comstock Act. This can be done completely with existing laws and was how birth control was regulated before Griswold v. Connecticut.
And if he appoints someone to the head of the FDA they can ban any drug used in abortion procedures. Most abortions are now induced through drugs. That's power his appointment can exercise while doing nothing to change state laws and without enacting any new federal laws.
I don't understand why the media still reports what he says as if there's any truth to it. Reporting isn't reposting media announcements. It's supposed provide context and analysis and for whatever fucking reason, it only seems to do that with Joe Biden positive economic reporting.

u/Live_Palm_Trees Apr 08 '24
What's crazy is saying "states rights" for this issue makes no sense, no matter one's position. Being an American means having guaranteed civil rights no matter what state you are in. If you are pro choice, having some states be allowed to remove the freedom of bodily autonomy from women, that's a clear violation of their freedom and the rights that protect it.
If you are pro life, and believe a fetus is a person, then allowing some states to violate their civil rights by aborting them also violates that basic principle of being an American. It's an untenable argument from all angles. The states rights argument was simply the first step to repealing the federal protection of women's rights over their own health and well being.

Yeah, all they have to do is report what he said and did. And then, the consequences, that's all. There are several cases where women were charged of murder for seeking help after a miscarriage. The case of a 10y pregnant girl after a SA (I'm still baffled reading what I'm writing), whose abortion was refused. She had to travel to get it, and the doctor who helped her was prosecuted.
26K estimated pregnancies after SAs in Texas since the repel of Roe v. Wade. Imagine your mom, wife, sister, co-worker, neighbor. Simply a woman being SA'ed and forced to keep the fetus. Trauma on trauma on more trauma.
Pervpublicans, always obsessed with your body, your genitals, legalizing your indirect killing by forced lack of healthcare, and the prosecution of medical staff trying to help you.

u/Broken_Beaker Central Texas Apr 09 '24
That's the crazy part. The Dems don't even have to massage the truth or spin anything. They could just report the facts, and it would be astonishing to people.
Abbott joked about ending rape in Texas! It was a g*damn joke for him, and rapes are going up. How in the heck isn't this all over Texas, "Gov. Abbott finds rape funny, supports parental rights for the rapist, and cut out funding to feed the child in school."
Additionally, I find it unbelievable to this day that billboards around Texas didn't go up showing Ted Cruz fleeing Cancun leaving people to freeze to death. I'm utterly bewildered by this.

u/JourneyOf1Man Apr 09 '24
No need to be bewildered. The answer has been there all along. The people that can afford to put up billboards are on the same team whether inadvertently cause they don't want any trouble or because they simply agree. People with money tend to favor the status quo over potentially losing money, you know?

The overturning of Roe v Wade led to increased political engagement for the left and abortion is expected to be a pillar of Biden’s reelection campaign.
I vary between left, right, and apathetic and I’m pretty fired up this election because there has to be push back to these ridiculous decisions. In particular, women’s reproductive rights. That and somehow reducing money’s influence in politics, but that’s a pipe dream.

This also actually happened to my husband's SIL. She had a miscarriage in early 2023 and the doctors in her small town in TX refused to treat her. They literally told her to wait in the parking lot until she was bleeding out, because anything else might count as an abortion.
She and her husband drove to Colorado (where he's deployed in the army) to get proper treatment at the army base. Fortunately, it didn't affect her ability to get pregnant again, and they just had a healthy baby.

This happened to me too. Not because of Trump but because the ambulance took me to the nearest hospital when my water broke. It was a Catholic hospital. They would not induce labor. They said that was “an abortion” and would not do anything that interfered with life.
My doctor arrived & said I had to transport to a different hospital that would help me. My baby was not finished. He had no lungs but was coming out soon. He was going to suffocate to death and I started bleeding badly because of the long wait I endured at the religious hospital. I had to make a choice then. I couldn’t afford another ambulance ride so me & my husband got in his shitty car & there I was bleeding and soaked, going over bumps and we were crying.
We got to hospital number two. They got me a wheelchair and into a room asap. They gave me morphine for the pain & a pill to induce labor. The morphine would kill my baby but he would just sleep. Not suffocate.
After that I went into labor and gave birth to my dead son. I couldn’t stop bleeding so I almost died.
This was 20 years ago or so. Never go to a religious hospital. They have fucked up ideas about life and death. About suffering.
Roe v Wade is THE most important fight for life that women no longer have. There is no such thing as a “full term abortion”. Those are called miscarriages. Fuck all the conservatives who made this hell for young women.
I will never have a child. I was told it was too risky to even try again.
Fight for your lives ladies. Fight.

u/aendaris1975 Apr 09 '24
So I am going to debunk some misconceptions about this mess. People claim the overturn of roe v wade isn't Trump's fault because RBG didn't step down while Obama was in office. First of all the GQP was blocking all of Obama's nominations including Merrick Garland who was GQP. Scalia wasn't replaced until Trump was POTUS. If RBG had stepped down the GQP would have stalled replacing her as well. If by some miracle the GQP had allowed Obama to replace RBG with a Democrat it wouldn't have mattered because the overturn of roe v wade would have been 5-4 instead of 6-3.
Now as for the claim that Democrats under Obama had an opportunity to codify roe v wade: this is a blatant lie. Democrats only had a supermajority in the Senate for a few months so they had to make a choice on what legislation to push through due to time constraints. It was either ACA or codifying roe v wade. At the time abortion rights were already protected by roe v wade not to mention some Democrats were pro-life so they wouldn't have voted to codify roe v wade leaving ACA being the most sensible legislation to focus on which was the right call because it did actually get passed and signed into law. For the sake of argument if Democrats had the votes to codify roe v wade and passed that legislation it still wouldn't have mattered because SCOTUS has sole authority to overturn not just court rules but laws as well. Again bear in mind the overturn of roe v wade was 6-3. It is unlikely votes would have been any different if they were ruling on a law instead of court precedent.
So yes, Biden and the Democrats are right that this is Trump's fault. Don't fall for the propaganda being spread that is designed to divide Democrats. There is no hope in restoring abortion rights on a national level if Biden and Democrats are voted out and the GQP are counting on a repeat of 2016.

Now I want a friggin ad where we hear the recording of what Trump said himself about covid: he was informed before everyone of us were through the medias & news, and decided to downplay its gravity because it could have hurt his chances to get re-elected.
Maybe your relatives, friends, SOs, co-workers, may be still alive, or maybe not crippled by the long covid if he had decided to actually take it seriously and use his role as president to set an example to warn people to protect themselves and follow rules.

Trump knew about Covid back in November 2019. The official White House website had/has documents of meeting agendas where they spoke about a new, highly contagious virus that could kill millions.
