the new hot thing on the right is trying to ban abortions that happen in the final stages of pregnancy. these are super rare and always happen because of some late term birth defect or injury that makes a fetus/infant nonviable. it happened to my cousin's cousin, they discovered the umbilical cord had strangled the baby's brain a few weeks before birth and it was stillborn. aborting would have been ideal at this time because then they could start the process of grieving and healing but it didn't work out that way because the mother was hoping for a miracle and long story short she gave birth to a dead baby and had a severe mental breakdown

https://jezebel.com/later-abortion-a-love-story-1832631748

it's super tragic when this is a necessary procedure but republicans, being absolute amoral ghouls, are trying to spin up the story that democrats just looooove abortions and dead babies and satanic rock music

Well, that is definitely not what I wanted to read first thing in the morning. Guess I'm done with the internet for the day.

Condolences to your cousin's cousin.

Yeah usually they have to pull the whole “except in cases of rape/incest/harm to the mother line”, but I don’t see how going full crazy with it and making it a big talking point helps outside the base.

sorry about darkening your morning. the epilogue here is that they had a rough year for obvious reasons, but she went into therapy and eventually was willing to try again and now they have 2? 3? healthy kids, not sure exactly. the stillbirth happened about a decade ago

Matt Fuller is generally a good follow but this is really proof that there is no such thing as an untainted dc journalist

This was pretty disappointing. I do think people overreacted to the first Fuller tweet and read a defense into it that he wasn't making. But it was reeeealy the wrong time for him to pull his "hrm, Meadows is such a fascinating guy to study" bit.

Near as I can tell, Fuller's never before referenced any interesting conversation with Meadows or the Freedom Caucus relating to racism or people of color. Kind of a prereq if you want to imply something other than the most absolutely boring and typical white fragility is going on.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Republicans are going to literally be running on a platform of “we’re gonna give you absolutely nothing and you should thank us” aren’t they?

In 2016 Trump ran on promising the moon and stars. “We’ll get rid of Obamacare because we’re gonna give you something better and cheaper! We’re gonna do an infrastructure! All your jobs will come back! We’re gonna build the wall!” It was all lies of course but it was offering something to idiots.

If Republicans really just go full on culture war they’re gonna get smoked harder than last November.

I mean, they're probably going to target current Medicare recipients by claiming it'll negatively impact their own access, and I don't begrudge* the old the disabled being "FYGM" about access to medical care... but I'm not sure it'll be enough to outweigh the majority of Americans who don't have Medicare and want it.

yeah, they have nothing real to offer because the left doesn't care and most people want some sort of real healthcare that's single payer or universal or something. people have seen what their tax plan gets which is gently caress you, more money for the donor class. trump is a loud failure and the GOP is petty and stupid. sure the chuds will clap, but no one else is.

He is leaving early, no progress, no deal, all humiliation

That plan just blew up in his face. Instead of leaving Hanoi with a brand new deal — helping his case that his way works better than the orthodox method — Trump flew back to Washington with nothing.

Ouch.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised that they dropped the "Medicare for all means waiting a month to see a doctor" angle. I guess enough people have seen how other countries operate that it doesn't get traction anymore

This really, really cannot be understated. Even two newspapers in the same city have diametrically opposite coverage of the same event. It's not just that a significant percentage of Americans, including huge majorities of many states, have different opinions, they have different realities. Conservatives are never going to hear about Trump Administration crimes because they only get their news from "trusted sources".

If you want to try to bring America back together into something resembling one whole nation again, this is the very first problem you have to solve, before you can even attempt anything else.
