Almost a troll-like insistence on lack of nuance to an extremely complex situation

I believe black people’s lives matter. I hold that view so strongly that I’m willing to shout it in the streets. Does that make part of a political extremist movement?

That’s quite the false equivalence you’ve made there

I’ll take both please

Pretty sure Whole Foods had shitty conservative executives back then too didn’t they?

Here’s todays winner for most unintelligible title

Thanks for sharing your experience! Those examples don’t seem so subtle at all! Sorry you have to live with that shit

Right? Name one thing, anywhere in humanity, that somebody isn’t profiting from

Real talk - how often do you experience overt, interpersonal racism? How often do you experience more subtle “accidental” racism?

What part of the country are you in?

I guess my point is that the big debate is whether women should be able to get an abortion at all or not. I believe conservative Christian leaders are resolute in stating that any abortion is anti-Christian and anti-conservative, so you might be less of one that you think.

Fair answer. There’s no denying that men should have a lot of (and a lot more) accountability in pregnancy, but that’s kind of beside the point in the debate around abortion rights.

I don’t think most people would defend the right to an abortion once the fetus becomes viable, nor do I think many women get abortions so late. I don’t have the stats on that, but I’m pretty sure that’s all just extreme scare-mongering from the anti-abortion lobby. They’re trying to prevent any abortion and use extremely rare/non-existent scenarios to push that agenda.

There is also a huge range of scenarios under which a women might want an abortion. I have a personal example. A very close family member of mine had an abortion when she and her husband were actively trying to have a second child. The fetus was not growing and multiple doctors confirmed that the pregnancy was going to result in a miscarriage at some point, but it was unclear when that would happen. Instead of waiting potentially months for a surprise miscarriage to happen, she decided to have an at-home abortion using mifepristone. It was purely out of bodily autonomy. Now conservative Christians are trying to take that right away from her and thousands of women in the same position.

How do you feel about women making decisions about their own reproductive health?

If you don’t think women should be allowed to have abortions, how do you reconcile that with the goal of “not ramming your religion down other people’s throats”?

If you do think women should be allowed to have abortions, are you really a Christian conservative?

I gotta know. What, generally speaking, were the bad images?

It really should be proper fedi-etiquette for a community owner to seek out and link to similar communities in the side bar. Not sure why they don’t do that either.

Substantial confounding in studies like this though. I haven’t read the paper but they usually can only control for basic demographics, not the nuances of parenting style and engagement, which could certainly be correlated with both screen time and development.

Yeah whatever taxation scheme we can think of, oil companies will ensure they don’t bear the cost.

Thanks!

Thanks for the support! I thought it would be a useful tool too. People could use it to find instances they didn’t know about, but which are popular in their network, or to find under appreciated instances to build bridges.

Anyway, sounds like database access is a must, and I’m not trying to take on a massive data wrangling exercise. I had it in my mind that the data were just sitting their for download, which was wishful thinking!
