  I’ll say I don’t buy this argument, though that’s just my opinion. I don’t think these politicians care one way or another what happens to people as long as they get more power. I find it far fetched to say they’re seeming power so that they can be cruel.

  Wow I’ve never heard of someone wanting to ban a medical procedure all together because they experienced an adverse effects of it. Thanks for the view into a psyche that I didn’t know about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Granted, but that doesn’t really answer the question. I’m asking why they’re so insistent on doing it, not how they’re maintaining power despite being unpopular.

  I’d like you to cite a source to back up that claim.

  Yeah here’s a take that resonates with my cynicism about Republican politicians. They literally see it as a way to get more numbers in the long run because they know it disproportionally affects poor people (ei forces them to have more kids) and they know they can get those people to vote for them through other manipulation.

  Seems like a pretty long con though right? The same cynicism tells me these politicians just care about short term wins.

  I’m not basing my statement about American sentiment on what I see on the internet though! The pools and votes seem to support abortion access.

  When somebody powerful does something perplexing, my guess is usually “because money”. Is that the case here? I’m not that informed about how politicians get their money…

  That was oddly satisfying to work on. Like doing a jigsaw puzzle or something.

  Scratch that. I am a member. This interaction prompted me to check my application status. Back to pixelling…

  Alright I’m not even a member of Mander but your instance rules so I’m helping

  The four-color theorem is pretty cool.

  You can take any map of anything and color it in using only four colors so that no adjacent “countries” are the same color. Often it can be done with three!

  Maybe not the most mind blowing but it’s neat.

  I know he says it’s pronounced “jif”, but I just don’t care. It’s like “gift” without the t
