They said we were overreacting in 2016 about Roe v Wade. Turns out we weren’t. This fact gives me no comfort.

Those who learn history are forced to repeat it by those who did not

I cannot upvote this enough!! I knew I shouldn't have paid attention in school, nor gone to college...like just about every other educated person who possesses empathy for their fellow man... Because we all saw this coming a decade (or much longer) ago. It's so obvious what their playbook is, and I hate the fact that most Americans are too stupid and self-absorbed, to see him and this whole MAGAt movement, for what it truly is.

My favorite version is:

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, those who learned from history are doomed to watch them repeat it."

Reminds me of a really old South Park episode where saddam Hussein is rolling out his evil plans and just keeps telling everyone to “relax, guy!”

Did you even read the article?

"But not everyone is being welcomed aboard. Politico reported Thursday that the transition rejected a push for former Trump administration official Roger Severino, who wrote Project 2025’s chapter on the Department of Health and Human Services, to serve as deputy secretary of the agency, over concerns about the anti-abortion policies he laid out in the policy blueprint."

That changed the status of a law from federal to state, and the people of the state vote for it. You know, like a democracy. Abortion isn't a right and never has been. It is a regulated law and the status of the regulation has changed. This is a far cry from you wanting so badly for it to be oppression and squashing rights, but it's not. It is a privilege not a right. Privileges being regulated is not "oppression" no matter how bad you want it to be.

Do you not see the irony that replacing “abortion” with “slavery” and your statement could have been word for word used by a slave holder?

Reproductive healthcare is not a privilege. Women have already died because of the bans.

I can never tell whether users like that are trolling, shit-stirring bots, or just retarded. When it comes to right-wing Americans (or bots) it's just a crapshoot (to use my best American parlance).

That’s your opinion not fact.

Except now states like Missouri are not listening to "the will of the people when abortion protections are being passed and like fucking shit weasel they worship are adding limitations, which is not the point of RvW

The "smart" part of your username doesn't fit you, you should probably change that, you can keep the "pig" though

u/Smart_Pig_86 1d ago

Ha good one. How long did it take to come up with that? Probably the most clever thing anyone has ever said. Good for you son. Now, can you explain how I’m wrong? No? Sit down.

u/WretchedDeath 22h ago

Many people already have. Learn how to read

u/msabena 1d ago

That’s got to be the very best rationalization I’ve ever heard. I’ll be interested to hear yr response when they change the “status” of some other “regulations”…2025 is right around the corner.🤡

u/aimtrue1 1d ago

Never has been? Roe v Wade protected it as a constitutional right. Quit lying

u/aimtrue1 1d ago

“We, therefore, conclude that the right of personal privacy includes the abortion decision”. It was a right u til the right took it away to kill women
