And after the debate you have to wonder who you’re really voting for.

The one who doesn't pledge to be a dictator.

This is a 1963 book by the American Institute of Architects awarding the best designs for school fallout shelters.

A really nice-looking book. Like they spent some good money on it.

The Internet Archive has the weirdest stuff. I've been entertaining myself by browsing text collections lately.

It was mostly just Catholics who were anti-abortion before the 70s. Then the Baptists discovered it was an issue they could latch onto and others followed.

And it wasn't just a political reason the Baptists latched on to it. They realized legal abortion meant less white babies because you're a lot less likely to be able to get one if you're poor.

I maintain that debating fetal personhood is a huge mistake because it goes down a philosophical road where you can't clearly define things like when someone feels pain.

There is a much simpler reason to make abortion legal- for the same reason it is not legal to harvest a corpse's organs without the person's consent before they die or the reason you can't be forced to donate a kidney. Being forced to use your organs for someone else's benefit against your will is illegal in every other situation. Even if it means a human will die without them. That doesn't matter if it is something that will eventually develop into someone with full human rights or if it has them already. It's just not relevant. It's about the rights of the person whose body will be used.

People say that sort of thing all the time when not from the U.S.

And this is how I find out that the closest place name to that word is "Cunta" in Indonesia.

Lame.

However, the road the brothels were on in English towns were apparently known as "Gropecunt Lane," so I learned that today.

Ah well, there will always be Dildo, Canada.

Poor you.

But no, you're getting banned because you're a troll account.

I have never heard of that outlet and I don't have any reason to give it my trust.
