Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They can't really do that if there's a Democrat in the White House and the courts are semi rational. You really can't stop a certified drug from being distributed through the post office nationally. But, you change either of those conditions and the lunatics will run the asylum. They'll bring back sodomy laws too.
and the courts are semi rational
Found the problem.
Especially the 5th circuit. That's where Matthew Kacsmaryk punts the dumbest cases to Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, who then shit all over the law.
Yeah the GOP has the ability to defacto veto any legislation in the country. Kacsmaryk will issue a nationwide injunction on any policy they ask him to. It's fucking nuts.
And then the courts try to rein in this obvious forum shopping and the Northern District in TX just says "naw, we aren't going to listen to that". How the fuck does that shit fly?!
Same way it always has: cuz no one suffers any actual consequences.
Sounds like a good place to start when the revolution comes.
Right behind it, is condoms for females?
Republicans really do hate everyone.
There's a huge amount of self-hatred rooted inside those beliefs too.
I hate that the lazy press call it an "abortion pill". They are only taking the rhetoric of the lunatics. These drugs only delay ovulation, they don't abort anything.
There are two different things:
- the morning-after pill, which delays ovulation.
- Medications which induce miscarriage, which are used, to say, treat an ectopic pregnancy or otherwise terminate a pregnancy which has already started.
This is a ban on the latter.
They don't induce miscarriage. It prevents implantation of a fertilized egg within the first 48 hours after sex. I is technically not an abortion since it hasn’t implanted and isn’t growing. The Pro-life extremist shouldn’t be upset over it since that is better than a surgical abortion and safer in many respects and they are NOT killing a growing child since it can’t form is it doesn’t implant in the uterus.
You're confusing two different things. The morning-after pill works the way you describe. The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol does not — it can be used until 70 days after the last period.
This just in: tubal ligation appointments soar in Louisiana.
They already did.
Another Gilead state.
Now the plug can carry abortion pills instead of just fent and meth.
Did we not learn anything from prohibition?
Louisiana: The Incredible Shrinking State.
We can take solace in the fact that both Louisiana and Florida will be underwater in a few decades, so that's nice
Exxon’s legal department has really gone off the reservation
Why is Louisiana, a state who has to receive a lot of govt handout - thanks to the taxes of liberal states, so fucking backwards?!
That's a feature, not a bug
