    The left of center position is “If you’re against abortions, don’t get an abortion.” The right’s position is “Abortion is always wrong and nobody should be allowed to do it.” It does not follow that they’ll be content to stop at the local level, or the state level, or even the national level. The only reason anybody thinks that it might is marketing (lying).

    Thank God JD Vance, a white man, is there to protect black women specifically from seeking abortions. We all, conservative white men, know that they, black, don’t understand what they are doing. /S obviously

      block women, not black. I misread it as well, especially since it’d be easy to believe he’d target black women specifically.

      EDIT: I was wrong! Listened to the audio and he does explicitly say black women!

    As an intellectual exercise, what do you suppose are the chances that Vance is a nazi? I don’t mean ‘nazi’ in a rhetorical sense, and I don’t mean ‘nazi’ in the sense that his worldview and ideologies overlap with those of nazis. I mean, what are the chances that he’s actually in his basement with a brown shirt, seig heil-ing from time to time? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as his civic actions support that cause anyway. But I wonder this each time I hear yet another awful detail about this loser. I peg it at about 10%, low but definitely above zero.

      He’s definitely one of those guys that’s says he collects WWII memorabilia, when what he means is he has a basement full of Nazi flags

        I knew a kid like that. His parents would say how he’s super into WW2 history. Meanwhile he only had an absolute shit ton of Nazi memorabilia only read books about Nazis and dressed in a leather jacket that looks like the Nazi one … I’m pretty sure he’s a Nazi… Idk why else it would be his absolute only interest area and nothing else

    Quiet Part out loud, if there’s one thing they hate more than the threat that women can say no to staying in abusive relationships, it’s that they can run away to escape abuse if they can’t take their safety at home.
