I sometimes suspect the GOPs reason for doing so, is that once they allow abortion in these cases, their voterbase would dwindle even faster…
(This is a bad joke, but I would not be surprised at all, if some republican knows this is true and makes a logical, but monstrous decision, just to keep his hands a few more years onto power)
I cant wait for some conservative idiot to spin this in the worst possible way. Mixed in with some lies, whataubout-isms and straw-mans for a delicious disinformation-coktail!
Ich hab ehrlicherweise keine Ahnung, was eine CDU jungen Menschen im Vergleich realistisch bieten kann.
Ein großer Teil der progressiven jüngeren Generationen wird sich wohl kaum an eine konservative Partei wenden, die dauernd der AfD in Wahlkampfpunten nachplappert. Und radikale junge Nazis wählen direkt den blauen Abfall.
Und es macht keine Mut, dass hier Leute auf den Wahlplakaten der CDU abgedruckt sind, die so aussehen, als wüssten sie sehr viel über Eugenik und versuchten krampfhaft nicht davon zu schwadronieren.
Am Wochenende gab es mehrere Attacken auf Wahlkämpfer der Grünen. Betroffen war auch eine Veranstaltung mit Bundestagsvizepräsidentin Katrin Göring-Eckardt in Brandenburg. Sie kritisiert nun die Passivität der Polizei....
Es ist echt immer wieder belastend sowas zu lesen.
Bei progressiven Demos von links wird die gesamte Polizeibelegschaft mobilisiert, aber wenn Nazis Menschen bedrohen sind alle schon wieder umgezogen und haben sich zu ihren pöbelnden Freunden gestellt.
Ich hoffe echt die Regierung startet schleunigst Untersuchungen in diese Richtung. Das Demonstranten die sehr offen sehr Links sind von der Polizei drangsaliert werden ist jetzt nicht neu. Aber das selbst Politiker auf öffentlichen Veranstaltungen nicht sicher vor den Matschbirnen sind ist ein anderes Ausmaß an Gewalt.

Jetzt hoffe ich noch, dass ein Verstoß dagegen mit einer drakonischen Geldstrafe in %-Gesamtumsatz von Meta geahndet wird. Jede Einnahme die mit solchen illegalen Daten erfolg ist damit in ihrer Gesamtheit illegal und muss eingezogen werden.
Unternehmen mit so großem Einfluss und Nutzermengen kann man nicht vertrauen sich selbst zu regulieren und es ist gut zu lesen, dass der Staat endlich in die Richtung aktiv wird.
Never forget that conservatives think when push comes to shove, they will be exempt from following the rules of suffering they created. As long as it is not themselves or a loved one suffering, they will never care.
Also important: A lot of conservatives see women like pets, whose reproductive freedom is something they decide for them. You would never consult your dog if you bring them to vet for a sterilisation after all, and why would you? Objections of your pet would just get in the way of your decision. For republicans, the only difference between a dog and a women is that one cant, the other shouldnt allowed to vote.
In the end, like always, conservatism is antithetical to happiness and progression of the human race.
I never understood why it’s looked down upon to purchase goods from online retailers and big department stores, especially if it’s significantly cheaper. Local businesses up charge their goods like crazy to stay afloat, but I’m not a rich man. Why in the world should I pay more from my own pocket to help support your local...
There is a pretty good reasons why shopping local is better in the long run:
The money you put in stays local in large parts or entirely and keeps the comminuty alive, paying peoples jobs, who in turn pay other people once they buy local.
Large companies siphon the communities wealth away until there is nothing left, before closing shop and running of to the next victim, leaving empoverisht people behind.
The effect is compounding. The more local shops close, the more other jobs dissappear and the less people have. Then they are forced to move away or buy less in general. Other firms cant hold their workers and have to cut down wages, or let people go due to reduced business operstion because no one can afford their services, continuing the spiral.
At the end of that process, all you will find are dollar-stores and junkfood-chains in your area. It happened a few times already and the effect is well understood.
TLDR: Shopping local is good for the community, buying everything online is siphoning money away from it instead.

In China, real-estate and owning a home is a big show or success in life and therefore highly desirable.
Over the years the construction sector ran rampant, building homes faster then they could be sold by banks to bidders. A lot of these homes are so shoddy, they are starting to fall appart while people are living inaide them (google “tofu-buildings” and see for yourself, its horrific).
With high ammounts of corruption and in-party dealings, China continued to overbuild, using up massive ammounts of concrete on buildings with the lifespan of an average laptop. If they would build highly efficient buildings to house the massive population with high quality and affordable rooms, that would probably justity the high us of concrete and material.
But they are not…
And here we are now, locked in a perpetual cycle of building and breaking stuff, because a lot of finances and political positions are entwined with constructionnand lland-dealings.
The CCP could intervene, they are the fake-communist authoritarian rulers after all and their word is law. Im just not sure they want to. Or know how.

There is currently a massive movement against the far-right in Germany
Revently a meeting was leaked, where the AfD went just mask-out-the-window and openly talked about deportation (They call it “Remigration”) of German Citicens who are the children of immigrants.
After that the vague threats to society have become tangible for a lot of people. Now an ever increasing ammount of the general public is turning against the AfD, who is further slipping into fascism as a reaction, prompting usuql fascist infighting and splitting.
Unlike in the US our judicial system is not quite as bad, but, with all things German, burocratic processes are quite slow. Also a lot of parties dont want to cooperate with the AfD in any regard, even the center-right (CDU) is having issues.
From the outside it looks bleaker then it is in reality, but the danger is still very real
Forcing someone other than yourself to suffer because of your morals is sociopathic.
An accurate description of conservatives who will, Im very sure of that, fight to never make this a reality in other parts of the world.
Just look at abortion or trans-rights to get peek into the right-wings barely functional mind on these topics. This will be all the same again, because they just hate you.
For a time now I heard that the UK is a dying empire, desperatly clinging on to a version long gone and being stuck in the past.
In wake of recent anti-trans legislation, Brexit, migration-panics and general declining lifestile, I tend to agree with the statement. The UK is falling behind rapidly, but instead of combating that with progressive policy, the embrace of conservtaive ideas like this will just accelerate the decay.
I just hope Scotland and northern Ireland can get out before its too late.
MAPs are NOT and have never been part of the LGBTQI+ Community
Thats like you putting on a lab-coat and strolling into an operating room, claiming to be there to do a surgery. To the confused look of everyone involved.
Its deliberately dishonest and a repeated argument to discredit the movement. It should be common knowledge at this point, but the right-wing never bothered with the truth.
Remember: Its always projection! The most pedo stuff is going on in the church and religious / conservative homes
