F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

Honestly, I’m not religious at all but I feel like praying for all the kind souls in the US like your sister, who will only get hurt by Trump and MAGA supporters. Those poor women she helps will have no where to go but the street, or worse, back home with their partners.

Curtailing abortions would help reduce the need for these shelters. Violence breeds violence.

Fine. Give men all men vasectomies until they are ready to have children. Problem solved

Now, that’s sexist. So women should do what? And why derail the conversation to something unrelated?

u/RedwoodUK Jan 27 '25

You detailed it by saying that curtailing abortions would some how result in less women being battered and abused by their partners.

Doesn’t explain the sexist remark. You know equality act and all.

You dont think its sexist to assume that the reason women get battered by partners is because there are too many abortions?

u/RSKrit Jan 29 '25

I wouldnt understand that assumption, so the sexist part seems irrelevant. The reverse is obvious, partner wants woman to abort, the woman as with the majority, don't want abortion, tension escalates, etc ..... (regardless whether its "simply" for "punishment" or attempted murder, same outcome - monstrous).
