The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

Lol, someone on next door posted article from alphanews (right wing news ) about all the legislation Minnesota just passed - the stuff Kepler linked to last week.

one thing I learned from article- Minnesota has now joined the national popular vote interstate compact
 
Hell yeah. That compact is getting closer and closer to removing the electoral college from power. (It still has a long ass way to go unfortunately.)

This. Eventually, "I can't afford to move/I don't want to leave my extended family/I don't want to change jobs" is no longer a reasonable excuse. When the state gov't has shown enough of its hand (at this point it's extended straight outward from the right arm), people belonging to the excluded and marginalized groups targeted by the Christofascists simply have to pick up and leave. Your human rights and personal safety should be more important than any other factor.

It's either that, or more lefties need to leave the coasts and move en masse to red states, or (worst case) an armed rebellion/civil conflict. Take your pick.
 
I mean, I’m usually hard on these women, but she had a baby already and then a complicated pregnancy- that probably took up a lot of her brain space. I don’t usually know what day a new law goes into effect.

the doctors not telling her is a huge miss
 
On one hand, yes, we do not expect every single woman out there to be an ob/gyn and know about every single complication that could occur along the way of a pregnancy. And yes, doctors might mis-diagnose or diagnose things too late, when better earlier medical information may have changed the options available.

But on the other hand, if you are a woman and in one of these states and there is a non-zero chance you might get pregnant, you should be aware at this point that the full gamut of medical choices that might be vital to your very survival are no longer available. Maybe you'll luck out and the procedure you need to survive will still be available due to some technicalities, but as pro-choice people were saying when these laws were passed, and has become more evident as these stories continue to come up like clockwork, these laws interfere with the ability of doctors and patients alone to determine the best option for the situation going forward. The pro-choice side has been shouting this since day one and has not been subtle; yes in 99.9% of pregnancies this may not come up, but there is still that .1%.

While I can't prove this, I have a feeling some of these women think they can never be that .1% because that .1% is those other woman, you know, those inner-city welfare queens, but I'm a white suburban mom so of course it can never apply to me because my intentions are pure of heart, not like those evil sluts with hearts of stone.
 
My girlfriend keeps saying that most likely most women don't even know what constitutes an abortion. What the term is used for and what it actually includes are two different things. That is why a lot of people who were indifferent to Roe ending before are shocked by what has transpired.

Yet this old white man in Minnesota knew.
