I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

📉Satisfaction rates in our NHS have plummeted from 70% in 2010, to a new low of 21%. That's what happens after 14 years of cutbacks and privatisation. The solution is to invest directly in the NHS & build up capacity so that it can treat all patients. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

There are good people that VOTE for Democrats and good people that vote for Republicans. But the Democrat and Republican parties themselves are objectively evil political organizations. They’re incapable of effecting a net positive effect on the lives of the people. They are doing the devil’s work.
