Hillary Clinton warns birth control is ‘next’ after Alabama IVF ruling - Lemmy.World

Hillary Clinton is warning about the legality of birth control in the wake of a decision by the Alabama Supreme Court that found frozen embryos created through fertility treatments are children under state law. “They came for abortion first. Now it’s [in vitro fertilization], and next it’ll be birth control,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “The extreme right won’t stop trying to exert government control over our most sacred personal decisions until we codify reproductive freedom as a human right,” Clinton added.

“That’s why I’m pushing for an actual democratic primary and supporting progressive populist candidates and their broadly approved policies such as minimum wage increases and universal health care,” Ms Clinton did not add to her remarks.

Lol nah they’re using the tried and true strategy of…checks notes using actual fascists to bully people into voting for slightly less fascist candidates. Bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off twice.

What’s the better play? Voting for third party candidates tends to split the vote and empower the farther right candidates, no?

That’s what I’m planning on doing. I’m not going to reward Biden for refusing to compromise with leftists and progressives. Moderates are the majority voting bloc and got him elected in the 2020 primaries. They will take the lions share of the responsibility when he loses in the 2024 general.

So you’ll help elect Trump to show everyone how pure you are and then tell the moderates it was their fault? That sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Trump WILL hurt you and the causes you care about in a worse and more permanent way than the alternative. Yes the choices are shit. There’s still a meaningful choice.

There is strength in unity.

What unity? There were a wide range of progressive and leftist candidates running in the primaries. Moderates said “fuck all that we’re going with this old guy who’s gonna block strikes and support genocide”.

Moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists or progressives.

I just hope some semblance of democracy can continue as imperfect as it is.

Then you best get on the moderates for being uncompromising pieces of shit.

…some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
