    Can vouch for that. One of my nieces were conceived while my sister was on birth control. The doctor gave her medication without telling her that it could impact her birth control and found out when she got pregnant.

    My sister's doctor forgot to tell her that because of her weight, it may take longer for the birth control she had to take full effect.

    It's also why he's saying it. He knows that, and is pushing this as a slow trollop, to either bait us or just be that guy. The fact that our rights are eroding on an almost daily basis is horrifying, and this guy is citing the Federalist Society as if they weren't the culprits.
    We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity. For at the end of the day, freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.

    I had a much easier life than friends of mine solely because I was born in a family where both my parents had good jobs (at least until my dad lost his). Both my parents were college educated and owned a home. I wasn't constantly moving apartments or dealing with a sick parent. Other people I know weren't so lucky.

    We like to think just working hard is enough, but it isn't and never has been.
    Our nation is young. As long as we have a foundation we can build on then everything can be accomplished.

    At the end of the day, the problem was delegated back to the people and the people will speak on the next elections. Everything will be fine.

    The religious people are really out of hand and the right wing bots are in full force with spam downvoting videos supporting abortion and spamming likes on videos that support banning gay marriage. It's scary right now. There's nothing stopping them from going against Brown v BOE or Ferg if they wanted. The conservatives will win back the house and senate this november by a slim margin.

    As long as the bots don't vote, I'm sure we will have a fair assessment of the will of the people in the next elections.

    You keep churning out this ispirational nonsense, it almost sounds like parody propaganda from a Fallout game.

    "Our nation" is not young. Half of or something like 2/3 of European states are younger. Australia is younger, Canada, New Zealand etc.

    The people might have existed, but the nation and the state structures are new or have been updated like a half a dozen times. The French are on their 5th Republic. They had 5 republics, 2 kingdoms and 1 empire since the US has been around.

    It's time we stop with this "our nation is young" bullshit that's paraded out as an excuse for not being able to figure out basic shit other states 1/5 of the age of the US have managed to figure out.

    Furthermore, equal opportunity has never existed in the US. Hell, Republicans in red states are doing everything in their power to disenfranchise as many people as possible, removing even the most basic element of equal opportunity.

    This whole overturning of Roe v Wade is another measure whose purpose is to remove equal opportunity.

    I don't know whether you're truly this ignorant or just full on trolling.

    Bots don't get a vote. Neither do people of color, democrats, women, students etc in red states.

    "America is the greatest nation on the planet and is the only nation with freedom!"

    Though conservatives becoming the parody version of conservatism from fiction is supremely on-brand for the political ideology that continues to seem to have issues differentiating between fiction and reality.

    If you think the Democratic party will be able to mobilize voters on this, you are sorely, painfully mistaken. And even if they could, Republicans have gerrymandered and voter surpressed themselves unbeatable majorities.

    I hope not, but given their efforts to throw out votes and gerrymander, I still don't like the odds.

    It might still be. I've seen a number of suggestions--and I don't want to discount them entirely--that Republicans are concerned that the fury over overturning Roe will backfire on them. Reportedly, several prominent Republicans were saying they would have preferred this decision after the midterms, rather than before, so they could make the election about the economy instead of having to focus on abortion.

    If the problem is fear, the answer is knowledge. Each side has to be willing to try to understand the concerns of the other..

    I believe we must reinvigorate the fire of this idealism in our society, because nothing suffocates the original promise of America more than unbounded cynicism and division.

    Find common ground and build upon it.

    You should change your avatar back to whatever it was before, and resume your normal shitposting. These meaningless platitudes aren't doing you any favors.

    Ok, so you're not Vice President Hubert Humphrey, but rather President Joe Biden.

    Do you have any of your own words? Any original thoughts?

    Whatever you're trying to do, it's neither as cute nor smart as you seem to think it is.

    Who is that guy normally?

    MMO-Champion really needs to do itself and all of us a favor and start giving people the ability to view a users previous name and icon.

    Here are the concerns of 1 side.

    -I just want to live my life, love who I love, have control over my body, not be killed by ammosexuals or cops, be paid a dignified wage for honest work and not go bankrupt if I have to go to a hospital.

    Here are the concerns of the other side.

    -Imaginary pedophiles, taking rights away from anyone who isn't like themselves, especially people of color, women, non religious people, gays and trans people. They want to shoot guns, be damned how many children die in shot by mass shooters.

    What the fuck is the middle ground?

    One side just wants to live, the other side literally wants the other side to stop existing. HOW DO YOU FUCKING RECONCILE THAT?
