@Odusei Good. Sue all these bastards into oblivion

@DerisionConsulting "it's not really all that tragic"

It's actually the classical definition of tragedy - an awful result that comes from the protagonist's hubris

@sendingmath @WytchStar

@spez_fangirl wow, lady, read the bloody room :(

@btaf45 I mean, apart from everything he says, and everything he does, what do they really have against him? :)

@Metaright "Until both sides start addressing each other's actual arguments"

Really, no.

The entire anti-abortion thing has been wrought from nothing, for the express purpose of working up conservative voters. Like the anti-drag thing, the anti-'woke' thing, etc.

The 'actual' argument on the forced birther side comes down to whether a person capable of being pregnant has bodily autonomy. That side completely denies this. You simply can't have a rational argument with people who want you dead, injured, or tied to a life with children you don't want and/or can't afford. Who think scooping out a clump of cells with no independent thought or existence is worse than an 8 year old being forced to bear a child to term, an adult dying of sepsis or giving birth to a 'baby' incapable of survival or a life free from pain and severe disability.

Their argument basically comes down to "Kinder, Küche, Kirche". Keep women barefoot, pregnant, and uneducated.

Don't you dare to try and both sides this.

@abff08f4813c are they hoping to be fired by posting these comments on Reddit itself? Wouldn't surprise me. What a shithole.

@kuontom another one bites the dust :)

@Remillard and no mention of any action against them except firing them? JFC :(

@Zagorath

No conflict of interest there then :(

@sendingmath I'm gonna guess the kid wasn't white :(

@Zagorath " the provision of affordable dwellings within the building is not considered appropriate"

Not considered appropriate by whom? (I mean, I can guess)

" Units within the development will, however, be an aspirational purchase decision"

Wow that is some bullshit :(

@Metaright "The way to sway a pro-lifer, then, is to demonstrate that a fetus doesn't have personhood."

No, first you have to persuade them that the life of the fetus bearer is worth something more than being an incubator.

Which you will never do.

People who are anti-abortion fanatics may or may not believe that a fetus is a baaaaaby, really. But what they really do not believe in is the personhood of the placenta owner.

And until you find a way to convince them that a real, living, breathing human being with feelings and rights who already exists independently has rights, including that to life unburdened by an unwanted pregnancy for any reason, you won't convince them of anything else.

@CurlyWurlies4All yeah, he can fuck right off now

@eggie this story is over 6 months old

@SnowboardBum It's okay, because like a good rightwing stalker rapist, he married his victim, which makes it all right again

🤮

@HeartyBeast

@ObM I like them and post them. What would be nice though if if you could post it in the body of a new article with a bit of context about the value/interest, rather than just post it as a link. How you do it is up to you though :)

@DarkGamer I very much doubt the chaos is over. It will just come up from another source, in another way. Putin is doomed

@Jcb2016

@AnxiousGnome I admit to being shocked at him claiming the government has reacted with glee. They just have not. Anything but.

He just has no bottom at all :(

@Suedeltica I pretty much only follow family and a few friends, and some organisations I want news from. Not a huge number. But Facebook can't even deliver me all those posts in time order, and I'm missing out lots of personal news I wanted to hear, like friends being engaged! If a 'social network' can't even do that basic function, it's useless. I keep getting prompted to follow more people, when I can't even get the updates from the people I already follow.

@Lells

@Zagorath Do you think maybe Men's Sheds and similar could step up and provide local access? The trouble with lawn mowers though is that they need to be maintained, and they use consumables.

Tool libraries are a brilliant idea though
