You can't give a fetus human rights without taking the human rights away from the person carrying it.

Fewer teen pregnancies are a good thing.
Children born to women over 30 have several points higher in IQ.
They are benefits to having fewer higher quality children. It doesn't have to be doom and gloom.

The information environment around councils is fucked, frankly. Too many candidates run on platforms that are just fantasies but they get voted in because their impossible narrative is allowed to fester.
Plus it's hard to stand if you're not wealthy and generally, older. #nzpol

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Think of prohibition as a “price support” for traffickers. You will never make these substances disappear by making them astronomically more valuable. Meanwhile, escalating law enforcement keeps the market in flux. The only thing worse than organized crime is disorganized crime.

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.
Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.
