The political media is really a large part of the problem here.
Trump fans want to go back to the old days they're already forgetting about technology that's been out for 150 years.

NEW: THREAD: A new ruling from Judge McBurney in Georgia overturning the abortion ban and allowing the procedure to continue has some REMARKABLE quotes. Let's take a look at just a few. 1/
2/9
"While the State’s interest in protecting “unborn” life is compelling, until that life can be sustained by the State -- and not solely by the woman compelled by the Act to do the State’s work -- the balance of rights favors the woman." 2/
3/9
"Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted, not-yet-viable fetus to term violates her constitutional rights to liberty and privacy, even taking into consideration whatever bundle of rights the not-yet-viable fetus may have." 3/
4/9
"For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability. It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could -- or should -- force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another." 4/
5/9
"When someone other than the pregnant woman is able to sustain the fetus, then -- and only then -- should those other voices have a say in the discussion about the decisions the pregnant woman makes concerning her body and what is growing within it." 5/
6/9
"There is nothing so urgent or important to the State about the medical records of women who end pregnancies that the privacy rights of those women -- and the Fourth Amendment protections that attach to those rights -- can be bulldozed away by statutory enactment." 6/
7/9
"...liberty in Georgia includes in its meaning, in its protections, and in its bundle of rights the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices." 7/
8/9
"Accordingly, Section 4 of the LIFE Act is hereby DECLARED unconstitutional. The State and all its agents, to include any County, Municipal, or other local authority, are once again ENJOINED from seeking to enforce in any manner the LIFE Act’s PECAP termination ban in Georgia." END/
9/9

I have a good time when I go out of my mind..
Scared to look partisan by holding Trump accountable and directly confronting the actual source of the misinformation. That fake balance is doing nothing but undermining their credibility.

HARRIS: Let’s build 3 million new homes
TRUMP: Let’s do a national day of violence
POLLS: Statistically tied

Why? We still have to treat criminals like humans, so denying them critical care like gender-affirming treatment would be cruel. It would also undermines their basic rights and cause further harm to their well-being, leading to more serious mental and emotional suffering. It's wild to me that we are totally fine with providing taxpayer-funded lethal aid that kills thousands around the globe but want to ban life-saving healthcare. That's just a fukked up double standard to have. It exposes how we don't really value lives.
the government are charged with the care of prisoners so it doesn't phase me when they say thats the care they're receiving. if this person was free they'd be perusing that same healthcare. the government is footing the bill for all sorts of expensive treatments relating to prisoner care, much more expensive than the services trangender patients receive.
theres no argument for taking charge of an individual and then denying them healthcare, that would literally be cruel and unusual punishment.

It's all about the inches
That ad is powerful
This culture war BS really works wonders on the bottom half. How some shyt like this could even be top 50 things someone is worried about in 2024 is beyond me.the government are charged with the care of prisoners so it doesn't phase me when they say thats the care they're receiving. if this person was free they'd be perusing that same healthcare. the government is footing the bill for all sorts of expensive treatments relating to prisoner care, much more expensive than the services trangender patients receive.

The Ad only appeals to a segment of the population who are ignorant to the fact that government pays for the healthcare of prisoners in the first place and even then they ignore a lot of their health issues or otherwise dislike those individuals existing at all.
Gender-Affirming Care, Incarceration, and the Eighth Amendment
Estelle v Gamble (1976) reiterates that the 8th Amendment to the US Constitution requires adequate care to be offered to all people who are incarcerated.
they are spending millions on ads to criticize the spending of healthcare for a minuscule potion of our prison population who don't all need surgery in prison.
