You mean the ones targeting them?
Yeah silly as hell. If you’re saying the constitution is silly, you’re being obtuse. The only law protecting trans people is the constitution and specifically the fourteenth amendment.
If you’re saying you think the constitution is silly, then go live somewhere without the freedoms ours guarantees. If you want to discriminate you’re free to do so in places like Russia, Iran, North Korea or China. Maybe you’d prefer to live under a boot, or is it just that you want others to live under yours?

What about all the laws protecting the “0.3%”

u/ted_cruzs_micr0pen15 ????? 3d ago edited 3d ago
You mean the fourteenth amendment? That protects all of us, not just the “0.3%.” You’re making yourself look stupid thinking that there are laws protecting the LGBTQIA+ community, it’s just the fourteenth amendment, which protects everyone from discriminatory treatment. Gender is a quasi-suspect class so any law restricting the rights of trans people is examined under the fourteenth amendment and intermediate scrutiny.
Perhaps you have issues with the due process clause of the fifth amendment, and the inability for businesses to discriminate in hiring, given that the right to secure employment is a property right and discrimination in hiring/firing is considered a violation of due process, again under the constitution?
What exactly is your quarrel with our guarantees of freedoms enforced under our constitution? Or maybe you don’t like the constitution because you want to be able to discriminate against people? If that’s the case, go live in Iran and tell me how it is… you won’t be missed.
The constitution protects everyone, jackass.

u/No_Station_8274 Columbia 3d ago
Never once did I mention the constitution, but I did say the LAWS that protect the 0.3%, which is just like you said discrimination against the 99.70%.
I’ll stay in the U.S of A thank you very much, I don’t care what you do to your body, but what I do care about is the fact that YOU think I have to respect you for what you did.
There should be no laws protecting a certain class, everyone in this country has the opportunity to make something of themselves, you don’t need laws that guarantee a level of class warfare.

this is an impressive amount of constitutional/legal illiteracy. and you’re so confident about it!
“protected class” means the classification is protected - so when gender-based discrimination is illegal, that means it is illegal to discriminate based on gender. that’s all. that’s why there’s plenty of doctrine finding discrimination against men. same goes for race, ethnicity, age, etc etc etc. this has been settled for a VERY long time.

Some women may believe that, many don't. Your vote is your vote, it is your right. Each party needs to show why they should be elected and if we as voters feel strongly about a candidate or party it's our job to get out the vote.
That being said we also need to get it back to the people, the amount of money going into campaigns from corporations and wealthy individuals is nuts. Citizens United and the recent Snyder decision firmly affixed the for sale on our politics.

I hate to use the term "they" but it fits here...if they insist that abortions wouldn't be necessary if women would just keep their legs closed then the same applies to their penis. If they would just keep their dick in their pants they wouldn't need to obsess over a woman's uterus. Against my better judgment, I hope that the ones who only see it as women are sluts and bring it on themselves will find themselves in a situation where their spouse or partner or family member, who's a devoted wife and is monogamous, is knocking on death's door and a simple d&c could save their lives. But yeah, let the whore die and leave behind other children and their husbands to pick up their roles in the family. This is the laughing stock of this ideology because we all know that the vast majority of men couldn't handle what women go through on a daily basis. Much less don the Mr. Mom hat while burying his ho bag trying to balance his grief and navigating the remaining children's grief. Don't forget that the laundry needs done, pets need fed and exercised, the kitchen needs cleaning before you can start cooking dinner for your deceased whore's offspring.
I am acutely aware of the fact that there are plenty of amazing single dads who are able to manage the task. But I can also guarantee that none of them are wearing suits on the daily and work in our (shitty) government. I heard a saying way back in college many many moons ago that has always stuck with me:
"How can you trust me with a child when you can't trust me with a choice."

There are more republicans in South Carolina though. SC doesn’t require party affiliation, so most people don’t register with a party. I guess more democrats register because they don’t want people to instantly assume they’re republican.

This is a conservative state with conservative voters who vote for the things they believe in. One of those beliefs is that abortion should be illegal or at least done rarely and early in the pregnancy before a heart beat is detected. You don't have to agree with them. It doesn't make it any less true that they believe this.
People ask how women can vote for men who are against abortion because apparently every woman should be in favor of abortion on demand. Sorry, there are many, many women, including me, who are not.
We are also mostly not voting on this single issue. We also consider the economy, education, safety and many other issues when we vote for the person on the ballot that we think will best represent us.
I get that some people, mostly liberals and progressives, think they are not represented in the state legislature. I faced the same issue from the opposite side when I lived in Maryland. It's very frustrating and I'm happy I was able to move to a conservative state. Not everyone has the opportunity to move to a different state.

u/ChronicAnomaly ????? 4d ago
Thank you for this. It isn't said enough. I have a couple of friends, 2 sets of married couples, who had abortions early in their life. It affects them to this day. I won't even bring up any abortion related issues around them because I can see the change in them as soon as it's brought up. People love to push "women's rights" into the abortion category, but it's just not true. These 2 women had an abortion and deeply regret it to this day. They are stounchly anti abortion but it hurts me when I see them talk about it and see the deep pain they have carried throughout their life.

u/Bastilleinstructor Upstate 3d ago
I completely agree, it's not without trauma for the woman. I know two who, in high school, had abortions. One did so because she believed being pregnant at 17 would ruin her life. The other had parents and the boyfriend who forced her to. Both have regrets. Neither are conservative (for the record). One had issues getting pregnant after she got married. The other was told she couldn't get pregnant due to a complication and wound up getting pregnant again in high school, but hid the pregnancy until she was too far along. Both have regrets. Both are haunted by their decisions for different reasons. I don't know if everyone feels lousy about it, but I know these two women did. They went on to become mothers and raised their kids and lived their lives. But that regret is still there. Incidentally, one of the women wouldn't have been here today had abortion been legal here when her mother got pregnant, but that's a story for another day.

It's good to look at all canidates, the demographics of the state and who may or may not win. Prioritize your issues and vote accordingly.
There isn't an attack on women, no one cares beyond their policies. This is just trying to spool divide.

interesting. but I have a complete loss of faith in most of these offices. mainly bc I live in a military police state with a gov that will proactively target anyone based on any reason. getting fixated on a classifications such as race or sex is a great way to distract from the current state of slavery people are born into and accept.
example, ask why the gov is using wartime powers on its own people. it's a big club... and you are not in it.
also 90% of internet traffic is botnets. reddit went public because it'll soon be facing tons of free speech violations claiming bots are "people". Robots/ai have no rights, no free speech, they are not people. yet you let them control your lives.

"class war" ... no I was referring to the gov using wartime powers domestically. after the pat act the American people became wartime combatants under the law. you have no "citizen rights" as long as you maintain a specific label. this is why you hear the word "extremist" so often now.

My only objevton to the video is that the supreme Court was not all male when the abortion ban passed.

If you want more women in office, maybe start promoting women who actually represent our values. Being against baby murder is probably a good place to start.

Oh look, another bitter aging woman whose identity is 'abortion' clucking on and on about God knows what. Have kids, folks. Resentment and loneliness are the rewards for brazen ignorance.
edit: also made it 5 seconds into the video, semi-colon, I know everything I ever will based on the SSRI eyes and birth controlled affect.

Do you think that access to abortion is only for a teenage girl who mistakenly got pregnant?

how would YOU handle it, i am a 20 year old transgender gay leftist registered democrat and this is like my first major election since turning 18, i am terrified of having both options as my president. I hate the democratic guilt of the biden supporters saying “if you don’t vote biden, you ain’t insert minority here and i hate the ignorance and intolerance of the trump supporters taking over the country, the alt right has taken us over and we have allowed them to because the democrats are too nice. when it all boils down to it for both candidates, they have allowed themselves to be represented by a bumbling fool who is more concerned with the interest of the old rich and white men that have been and always will be in power. it’s not political anymore, it’s personal.

One is a lying pos who will make abortion illegal federally and one is a decent human being who has done a fairly good job the last few years.

they’re both liars ones just a narcissistic old geezer with some backwards ass plans and wants to run the country like a monopoly and the other is a dementia ridden old geezer that wants to continue enabling a country with money we don’t have to give,,, the only way democracy will win this election is if biden sets his ego aside and steps down and endorses a younger candidate

I mean knowing my state SC women are probably happy this happened. Go back to the “good old days”. Making decisions is a scary thing for republican women I’ve heard

The few Republican men who were against a total ban were also targeted.
12% of South Carolina voters showed up for the latest primaries. 12%. Many of these seats are unopposed in the general election and are decided. 12% of the voters decided them.
Right wing activists consistently show up to vote. That’s why the Republican politicians fear them more than the women of South Carolina.
