Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Then as more prenatal departments close and doctors move out of state many will be confused by why there is this lack of services available and why younger family members are facing a hard time trying to give birth or find the medical support they need.
It wasn't that hard when they were young. Life was just great when they were younger... /s
They'll change their tune when their own daughter dies giving birth. That's all it'll take.
I wonder where the politicians will go to get their mistresses done?
Quick flight to as California Beach resort. All inclusive. Very posh.
I have a feeling that the people who support this guy are also the group that think vaccinating babies is evil and that home births are better.
I literally had a TON of women on Instagram try to attack me for calling out a post saying doctors and hospitals cause more harm than good in the US.
Most of it was along the lines of "women have been giving birth without doctors for thousands of years, our bodies know what to do", all while ignoring the fact that both infant mortality and women's birthing mortality rates have dropped from around 1.5% (of ALL women, not just pregnant women) to 0.015% (don't quote me on that, it's been a while since I looked up the numbers).
I even had one woman say that because I'm a man that I'm not allowed to say anything and her "genetic feminine memory", as if she's some Gao'uld symbiote from Stargate, trumps all "so-called medical doctors degrees".
How do you talk with these people?
