Well, the concept of a Federal System of government worked for the first 248 years of our history. Sad to say, but I think we had a good run, but perhaps it’s time to consider other plans moving forward.

Hats off to Putin: he succeeded where so many failed . All it took was the internet.

Can we take care of the murder of already breathing and living humans first?!? Like can we solve actual problems that affect society? And just let women and their doctors decide what is best for them and stay the fuck out of it?

North Dakota's House Bill 1373 and Indiana's House Bill 1334 propose redefining a 'human being' to include an 'unborn child,' equating abortion with infanticide. Oklahoma's Senate Bill 456 would make 'killing' an embryo or fetus equivalent to that of a living human being.

While Texas has yet to draft similar legislation, a dozen policymakers promise it's on the way, according to Jessica Valenti of Abortion Every Day.

In South Carolina, Republicans introduced the 'Equal Protection Act,' defining personhood from fertilization, which could eventually label birth control as a murder weapon.

To be clear: None of these bills have been passed — some haven't even been written — but the fact they're on the table is, in a word, concerning.

What about FAMILIES with children ⁉️If a woman has a dead fetus inside her, or a pregnancy endangers her life, if the State murders her, who will take care of her children⁉️⁉️🥺😢😳🤯😮

And in IN, House Bill 171 would make it so much harder for women to cover forward after an SA. It's ridiculous and I hate my f*cking state.
