    the right has spun pro-choice as pro-abortion, as if we just love abortions and advocate for them to happen. they just love sensationalizing and being dishonest.

    Or did he just have his own lightning reflected back into his face by someone else’s lightsaber somehow?

    Honestly, I think the best way to respond is to detach it from that moral framework, ie, framing it in medical terms and treating it as one would any other procedure that one wants to engage in to make their lives better. Framing it the other way concedes that there is a moral choice being made and that it should be rare. We don’t care about how many get abortions, we want to maximize their ability to do so if they so choose.

    that's at least 8 hours and 57 minutes more than I'd like to be in the same room as Don Jr

    One of the perks of being the only entertainment writer at the paper I work at is having veto power for the stories we choose. A former Misfits singer is coming to our area, which I suppose is kind of big. While doing research, I saw his Twitter was nothing but InfoWars/Fluoride is dangerous/Men with beards and manbuns are actually women/It's okay to be white. Needless to say, I canceled the interview and advertised a coat drive instead. And yes, I'm patting myself on the back.

    I'm sure the lefties will hate him but I'm okay with Biden too, minus the age. I really don't think he's all there in the brain anymore, he just sounds different than he did even 8 years ago. Starting to look it, too.

    The window for Biden closed in 2016. Him running in 2020 is a bad, bad idea.

    Hmm I didn't mean it that way so I'm not sure how my post was interpreted :/ I said that merely because the procedure itself isn't easy or simple, much like having to deal with doctors and health-related stuff generally isn't, haha. It's traumatic for a lot of people and it comes with a lot of pain (physical and emotional). That's not necessarily about the morality of the procedure - the right-wing make it that way by calling themselves "pro life" (which stands contradictory to all their other positions) and us "pro abortion" like we think "abortions are cool and i love it when they happen", when it's really about them being anti-choice and us being pro-choice. i know i've said this before but i had the convo w my mum and i was like "do you really think people are just going out and having abortions for fun?" and she actually laughed. basically, using their own exaggeration against them.

  23. biden would win because hes way cooler than trump, and that is the one decider in elections, but fuck him still

    Because he'd push some decent policies that are needed, and somehow resonates with a wide spread of the electorate.

    I like how people shit on leftists because they have memories and standards.
