• **NOTE: so here's a website with [a list of about 1000](https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/10/23/1806673/

I mean, Texas wants to make miscarriage a murder charge and they are a death penalty state, so there's that. There's some hyperbole to make a point in original statement, but If it makes you feel better, Texas is currently forcing you to play Russian roulette if you land on that 4 - doesn't change the spirit of the point being made. A gun is being put to your head with a meaningful chance of death.

You're arguing semantics here to avoid discussing the substance. Say something meaningful about the actual point or shut up at this point.

What are you talking about, friend? I feel like you have a fundamental disconnect here... Do you not know what "akin to" means?

So you see no major and ongoing problems with the leadership of the countries that you're listing here that would give you pause in fundamentally shifting a world standard to something of their collective design?

Yes. The best projects are proposed by and supported by russia typically. Absolutely nothing glaringly wrong about Russia or its leadership at this point in history. /s

Stay away from open windows, friend.

Respectfully, I don't know where you are pulling that equivalence from? I don't believe I said 1 in 5 would likely die from losing a pregnancy? The extreme of what's on the table being discussed is that Texas wants to overtly punish people for not being perfect fetal vessels - denying needed medical care and charging for crimes if they accuse that a miscarriage was coerced as determine by unqualified, backward religiously driven opinion.

As you raise the point though, that "would be deadly" mention is dependent on the unknown of what happens when you deny basic medical maintenance to "common" conditions. Many miscarriages require medical abortion, regardless of how "smooth" they progress, to clear any remnants of the fetus from the uterus and avoid complications and dangerous bleeding, infection, etc that could harm that person or their womb and decrease chances of successful implantation, pregnancy and birth in the future, if desired. It's a horribly painful and emotional process, something that nobody enters into lightly and that often is required for willing parents to be having difficulty conceiving and dealing with that loss, on top of everything else mentioned.

You just acknowledging the blanket false claims, generalized "lies" and that framing is laundering their false premise. You conceding some sort of an equivalence and saying "so what, she lied" is further laundering their BS. If this wasn't intentional, I'll hear you out, but you need to then know that you're being used as a puppet here then and unintentionally parroting what they'd like you to be saying. And, you should go add a note to your original post clarifying, if you're sincere.

I will ask you this, "What do you ACTUALLY know here?" You mentioned lies about fracking, sincerely, what are you referencing there? If you don't have specifics at hand, and you have to now scramble to look something up and double down, time to admit, again even if unintentionally, you are laundering republican bs.

Here I'll help you:

• Harris did not make her personal position on fracking clear during her only debate in 2020, the general election’s VP debate against then-VP Mike Pence (of "Hang Mike Pence" fame)

• Harris never explicitly stated a personal position on fracking during that debate. She said that Biden, running for president with her supporting as VP, would not ban fracking if he was elected president.

• During the 2020 VP debate, Harris said, “Joe Biden will not end fracking,” and “I will repeat, and the American people know, that Joe Biden will not ban fracking.”

• Back before that VP debate, When Harris was actually running in the presidential primary on her own and could reference her own views on fracking directly, the furthest she came was “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”

There is no promise there. No lie told since. You can be in favor of something that isn't politically feasible at a time, or feel you personally have more to learn. You can say something akin to, "that sounds like the right thing to do, but I'll need to think about it more" that's the measured stance of a thinking person.

So what was the lie there? Or again, were you laundering the republican's bs propaganda to try to normalize the idea that " EVERYBODY just lies, man... so trump ain't so bad I guess..." - intentionally or unintentionally.

I hesitated there, thanks. Do you feel confident with that spelling in this instance? Knew it felt off, but was sort of swimming in my head trying to decipher proper and didn't want to stop to look it up at that moment.

Vote now. Read about leads later.

Vote.

Gop are flooding the system to overwhelm infrastructure and news cycle and scotus is throwing a few less meaningful breadcrumbs out between outright atrocities to try to build plausible deniability.

Envy your measured preparation. Hope it won't be needed.
