Even as someone who supports abortion, I can't say I am against the overturning of Roe v Wade. It's terrible for the poor who can't afford to travel to another state to get an abortion, but the legality of abortion should be decided by state or federal law, and not the supreme court.

 

[super_slicer]

Despite leaning towards anti-abortion further and further ( though dems slaughtering their progeny does mean they're doing everyone else a favor ) that's not exactly the problem here; the constitution outlines the powers of the federal government and reserves any not granted to it for the states. So you're correct in that the supreme court making a decision on the matter isn't how it should be handled; but that's because it's not an issue where the federal government was given power over.

Though I will push back a little; an overwhelming number of abortions currently performed in the U.S. are either elective or no reason given, meaning that they're simply being used as a repugnant form of contraception. So maybe instead of that people could take some responsibility, put some forethought behind their actions and not impregnate / get impregnated in the first place. I whole-heartedly don't want to force parenthood on anyone that doesn't want that for themselves, but abortion anywhere anytime for any reason is not the way to go about preventing that.

You are probably right about the powers of the federal government. I don't actually know the constitution well enough.

As for making people putting more thoughts about getting pregnant.... BWAHAHAHAHA. That's a good joke. Many people don't think before doing anything in their lives. They act like Maverick in top gun, then get surprised when there are real consequences to their actions. In any other situation they should have to suffer the consequences of their own action, but with pregnancy there's an innocent 3rd party who also has to suffer the consequences of the fools' actions, and the end results are always going to be ugly.

Well, that was an interesting week, BoJo technically resigns, Abe get assassinated, etc...

Also, in other news.
The Netherlands, one of the world's top food exporters has decreed by 2030 that 30% of farmland will be seized and repurposed (for what they don't say, but probably more migrants...more houses... more debt)
The Dutch farmers aren't taking this lying down and have staged mass protests, not only blocking roads but spraying muck over political buildings (and politicians houses), and penning live stock outside government agricultural offices and threatening to cull them on the spot.

A small Dutch island has even declared its independence.

 

[super_slicer]

Which is great news with the fact that Russia and Ukraine won't be exporting any food or fertilizer along with the high oil prices coming from that nonsense. It's almost as if someone's trying to start a global famine.

 

[XSI]

Oh yeah, the farmers are supported by at least 70-80% of the population. Gov declared they need to ban farming 'for the environment', so they basically banned farming near any nature parks/preserves. And then they defined 'near' as pretty much the entire country
This despite 80% of agricultural emissions in the Netherlands coming from over the German border, so it doesn't even help against pollution. And it isn't even that much pollution either

Shit, that pretty much banning food... what's next, they will ban being hungry?

Well, they're doing it out of order. They're supposed to ban self-defense, dissent, freedom THEN food so...

 

[Captainstarfish]

The live stock or the government officials?

There would have been air-strikes ordered if it were the latter XD

Seizing land? I thought it was about fertilisers and livestock numbers?

 

[XSI]

They also quietly passed a law that allows them to seize land and housing, with all the traditional left, right and center parties all voting to allow gov to do that. No mainstream media reported on that one and you have to either find alternative media or dig through official voting records and gov archives to find what they did

As far as I know it hasn't been used yet, but the gov now officially has the power to seize any land they want and they have implied that they should do it to protestors or any farmer they dislike. Which is all of them

 

[MrMe]

Speaking of parts of laws passed in silence without media reporting.
The other month you might have heard the UK passed a bill about the agreement with Rwanda to send them our unwanted sea people.
Lot of chatter about human rights this and that


But what you never hear about is paragraph 16 of the agreement

You must be registered to see the links

So rather than a Net Reduction in migrants as advertised, the agreement is actually a back door method of bringing in who knows how many climate refugees from a country that imports all of its grain, on the eve of global food crisis as one of the world's leading grain producers is currently being invaded (in its most fertile region), another is cut off due to sanctions because of invading the former, and now you have the world's *top* food exporter currently trying to get rid of third of its farm land.
Almost like those conspiracy theories about how the WEF and co are/were planning an artificial famine aren't really theories.

Once more not surprised they have to resort to trickery and lies. That's been what they've been doing for decades now after all

Well someone's gotta pick the apples off the trees, and the farmers sure as hell ain't going to raise wages.

Well, Trudeau is also trying to "ban" farming.

Pakistan has had some flooding
About a third of the country's usable land underwater and roughly 50 million displaced

That's got to suck
