Trump and MAGA ATTACK on Freedom SLAMMED By Top Advocate | PoliticsGirl

Today we’re joined by Mini Timmaraju, President of Reproductive Freedom for All, to discuss how reproductive freedom isn’t just about access to the health care of abortion, but about how we think society should function. Do we believe our most fundamental and personal decisions belong to the government, or do we believe they belong to us? At the end of the day, it all comes back to democracy, and if our voices are heard and respected, or we’re controlled and silenced. We, as a country, have to fight for our right to control our own lives while we still can, and we have to vote in numbers that leave no question as to what kind of country the majority of us want to live in. I truly believe this issue isn’t about being Republican or Democrat. It’s about being American, and the values and freedoms we believe this country should represent.

Women: Vote. Vote now, while you still can. Because women may lose the privilege. Don't let this be the last election you can

[@fionaanderson5796]

That's the issue isn't it? Treating voting as a privilege. It used to be only land owning white men, and gradually was expanded, but despite people declaring their right to vote it's still a privilege that so many are excluded from by all sorts of means - purges, restriction to mail in ballots, the workers can't afford the time to queue for hours so can't vote, armed magats guarding drop boxes to deter voters... Now those rich white men are trying to remove that privilege for all others.

Pro-Life Evangelist should start paying taxes since they are now political....We need to remind them of the difference between church and state.

[@travishortman5473]

Before I left Texas I couldn't find a church to go to bc they brought politics into the sermon. That scared me more than anything as a Christian.

[@a_troll_]

Preach Politics - Pay taxes. There should be a legal process to report religious establishments that preach politics and any religious establishment that preaches politics should immediately have their tax exempt status revoked. Then they should have to pay income taxes, property taxes, back taxes, etc. Either stay in your lane or lose your privileges. Also also I find it hilarious that the church of Satan is more christian than any evangelical church.

[@fionaanderson5796]

Yes, like when Boobert said the state doesn't belong in the church but the church absolutely has to dictate to the government.

[@oxoxox3695]

You know, I'm not for abortion. That doesn't give me any right to make that choice for another woman. It doesn't make me more Republican or less a Democrat. 💙🇺🇲💙 I will add... my vote on abortion goes to " woman's rights " in a every circumstance.

We no longer live in a democratic constitutional republic we live in an Oligarchy disguised as a democratic constitutional republic. The 1% need uneducated serfs to keep working without questioning the status quo. That's why public education is always underfunded, why we'll never have universal healthcare and it will always be tied to your job, and why the right wants a forced birth nation.

[@kated3165]

Especially since ''Project 25'' wants to lower marriage age to 12 and normalize that sh$t...

The abortion fight is one of the dumbest obsessions of a dying GOP voter base literally aging itself into irrelevance. If you care about the unborn, be the first to line up to pay for each unplanned pregnancy. Otherwise, learn to love birth control.

[@kricketlangendoerfer8387]

tRump said he needed something to campaign on. He also doesn't like the educated. I've known of China & the orphanages full of girls. This is the 1st I've heard of villages of men b/c of not enough women. Horrifying. I heard the 1 baby/family ban was lifted. I wondered if their population had dropped enough to have room for more families? Johnson saying we need more kids to work. I was thinking there's something more. Hitler did the BC ban for more fighters. There's something more. Are they going to support these families until the kids are old enough to work? 💙💙🙀😾😿💙💙

[@tlee4218]

Um. Loads of young ppl are for this. Suburban Mons are not old ppl. It is mainly male religious..fake religious. Us boomer women that I know all marched for abortion, women rights along with civil rights, voting rights and the war. We were busy, now they are busy taking it away bc no generation after us kept the battle up. They all got into greedy capitalism along with the boomers who are for racism. Not us. Enjoying retirement again battling for the same rights.

[@user-bf8ef1qd1b]

I am infinitely annoyed with the reversal of Roe. As a 66 yo i no longer need reproductive rights. Buf i had them during the entirety of my fertility. Add on that i live in Az. Need i say more. I fear for younger women. So we can come out in November and vote vote vote! ❤ save our daughters

If someone has Stage II cancer, would a Dr. say, “Oh, you aren’t sick enough to be treated. We have to wait until you get to Stage IV.” I don’t think so. So why would you wait until someone is near death due to pregnancy complications to act?

[@jofromoz]

They did this in Australia and the UK in the 70’s, forced adoption for hundreds of thousands of children, and ended up apologising 40 years later, disgusting.

[@kated3165]

Except they won't apologize this time... they literally want to create their own version of The Handmaid's Tale!!

The US never apologizes for anything. It also never reckons with much.

What if all women who've had abortions over the past many years all go to their local police stations and be charged with murder for having had an abortion as it is illegal now. It would believe overwhelming to the system. I don't believe there would not be enough room in the prisons.

There are many of us who would be dead if these laws were in place in the past, and our first born children would have had no mom. I cry every time I think about it.

It just seems that over and over, every far right idea is just freaking without any common sense!!

[@kated3165]

This puts the puzzle pieces together though! If they want to create a Handmaid's Tale version of America? They don't need most of the current women to survive. They just need enough white babies born to start their stock of cultists. They will then have an unwaveringly loyal army and breeding stock of brainwashed people whom they can grow endlessly!

[@advarkmerrygoround1425]

I love your work Lee. Reasoned thoughtful discussion of complex and divisive subjects is why I watch your podcast. Justifiable deniability through argued naiveté. Is Trumps play-book. And if that don't work; Bully Them. Trump is a dangerous bully. He must have incriminating evidence against all of his wannabes in order to exorcise such power. Am I correct in assuming that being naive of what the law is, ie if one breaks the law and pleads "I didn't know I was breaking the law" is not a legal argument; the same in the USA as it is In the UK? Not knowing one is breaking the law, is not a legal argument. That's why accountants are employed that have passed stringent exams to prove that they understand what the accountancy law is. That's why professionals need to pass exams in order for them to be employed as "professionals" ? Pretending to be a Doctor and treating someone as a Dr, without a medical Doctorate is a crime. Being an idiot, is not a defence!!! Sorry your Honour, I never knew that stabbing someone was wrong.!!!!! Surely that is a fundamental given. Accountants and Lawers arguing that they did not know, just shows them up to be incompetent. If somebody goes on to employ people that are incompetent just shows that the employer is incompetent? CEO's have been pleading incompetence as a form of justifiable deniability for far too long. Donald Trump seems to have elevated that argument to some form of art form and his followers think he is the second coming, as it allows their shortcomings to be negated through plausible deniability. What the Fuck is happening...............Stupid bullies being allowed to circumvent all forms of logic due to their innate dysfunctionality. It's TOTAL MADNESS. But argued as justifiable deniability due to self acceptance of stupidity. So manipulative CEO's cand say "I didn't know" When all along they knew full well what their argument would be when the shit hit the fan. Blame subordinates and please stupidity. I think it's about time this practice stopped, otherwise...................................the shit really will hit the fan, permanently........................ Apologies for my dyslexia.

Great guest and always a great show. Where can I read the Dahlia report?

[@caryburns5509]

I need to with you. Michael P, Karen and Ben. I have child and adult trauma related PTSD and still trying to grasp it, But, Im not the only one and we need to be talking about it! I realized I was the victim and it wasnt me but it caused damages in my work and relationships because trust issues! When you have to relive it continuously its something you dont want to have to experience and then to have the new ones that you had blocked out. This is my world! It hurts so much more than anyone can imagine unless you have been through it! If you have been through this I see, hear and understand you because you are not alone! This is my own writing Cary Burns STL and not some chain bs. to share like everyone does like with cancer, etc..! I appreciate but its not sincere unless you have lived the cause personally not family - individual! I understand where your coming, but please domt share because it make a mockery and creates more strain when you are not living with it personally 24/7. I'm not being mean but I'm sharing my true feelings! Mental Health issues are taboo and forbidden to ever be discussed in public or risk being put away in asylum or have a lobotomy that was the protocol in the passed! It was wrong! Why is no talking? You can send an 18 year old to war but cant allow them to drink but they come back a mental mess because of the trauma they experience and the system they should have still ineffective! Then, I'm trying to provide solutions with our unhoused situation and lacked of shelter that our abandoned schools that can accommodate if revitalized. But, I'm white, gay My Mayor Tishaura Jones and Congresswoman Cori Bush can't return my calls or emails! This is sad reverse discrimination when I'm trying to provide solutions but they cant see, hear or understand me! They are about to lose my support and vote! President Joe Biden this unacceptable! This was my Facebook post. I'm beyond frustrated I dont know to but I think I should reach out to aclu

Dude... everyone should have TDS. You realize that the ''dictator but just for a day, I pinky swear!'' guy is a member of the wealthy elite right?! Then ask yourself this. Are you truly willing to bet the farm, your basic rights and freedoms and entire future... entirely on the premise that a group of wealthy ruling class members GENUINELY care about the small folk? That they aren't just using their voter base in order to secure more power and wealth than they could have ever dreamed of?? Because that's a pretty BOLD bet to make... Think about how Trump's rally cry is now ''free the Jan 6 prisoners'' and how its important to fight for their unjust imprisonment! So.... if he truly cared about them? Why didn't he just PARDON them while he was still POTUS?? He 100% could have! All of them! He did not pardon a single one of them. 0. Nada. They only ''matter'' when he has use for them.
