The problem for those who were lobbying to take away reproductive health freedom is that they are the dog that caught the car.

Before we could see the very real stories (the ones you don't want us to talk about), you could say it wouldn't actually happen. That these stories were so rare. But they are not, are they?

We are going to keep talking. If you don't want to hear about private lives, stop interfering in them.

Our government doesn’t have that responsibility or authority. That’s not what the United States government is supposed to have the power and authority to do.

There isn’t a single issue that our government has gotten involved in that has been improved for the average citizen. It’s all about taking more taxpayer dollars and spending them on solutions that don’t work and do nothing to improve the lives of Americans.

Do you drive on roads?

Save your money in a bank?

Drink water that’s not from a well?

Take medicine?

BREATHE CLEAN AIR???

The government is involved in everything you take for granted.

Damned straight, Tim. This is why people like him & not the that freak, Vance.

The fed gov is supposed to be protecting our borders and funding and training our military. That’s its number one priority.

How about we do both? It's not a small government.

We don’t have the money to do both. The constitution says nothing about funding or investing in pre-k.

One in three families can’t afford basic school supplies for their kids. The economy stinks on ice. Why should the government take tax dollars to fund pre-k when taxpayers can’t afford school supplies?

The government has no mandate to fund so many things they are funding. Whatever personal challenges Walz or any other government official has faced, it’s their personal issue. Every single American has personal struggles and issues. The government should not be the answer to these personal issues and cannot be. The government cannot legislate personal issues. Walz is not speaking about the issues government has a duty to address; he’s speaking about his private fertility issues and those have no intersection with government.

Alabama Supreme Court said differently. Idaho is going after a banning of IVF. Project 2025, heritage foundation and JD Vance, all strong Donald supporters have vowed to go after a federal ban of abortion, followed by IVF and birth control.

Trump himself has said he does not want to ban abortion and he fully supports IVF.

Dobbs had a helluva lot to do with a lot of people's reproductive decisions. Did you want people to be ashamed and afraid to talk about what impact federal legal decisions are having on their real, lived lives in that setting as well?

The United States is made up of more than women of childbearing age who want to kill their unborn babies. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution regarding abortion.

“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

Also, they’re mostly killing zygotes, blastocysts, embryos, and fetuses rather than babies.

I’m voting down ballot and leaving the top of the ticket blank or writing in Biden, so I have no horse in this race, but the whole chest clutching, guffawing thing comes off as really fake and performative to me. Sorry.

I've said this before: people who don't vote for one of the two main candidates are making a statement only to themselves. This literally helps nothing. In the race before us, there is a clearly better choice and whatever your reason for "writing in Biden," it will not be advanced by doing so.

These kind of people are self-important drama queens. PP was just using it as an opportunity to take a dig at Walz. It’s just an inauthentic post.

Different undecided voter here. People who are concerned about this far left ticket, who also refuse to vote for Trump, will just stay home.

I know it’s just a small subset of us, and the Dems are going after special interest groups with a large number of voters. So basically we are unhoused at the moment.

Drainage. The government has gotten very involved in drainage. Your life would suck balls if it hadn’t.

Yeah, let's not gut the FDA, okay? Safe food and medication nationwide, not just in the states that care about it and can afford it.

Trump is not a reliable vector of information. Try again.

yep. and it's cowardly and narcissistic.

Just listen to yourself. Disparaging people who don’t agree with how you vote isn’t helping your cause.

Newsflash - people can vote any way they want. Doing so does not make them cowardly or narcissistic.

Or NOAA and the National Weather Service. Or should those of us not impacted by tornados just let Oklahoma pay for their own tornado tracking and let the southeast figure out how to predict hurricanes.

It amazes me how gullible people are that the GOP managed to convince them that the federal government has nothing to do with their lives.

“Far left?” Get bent. Republicans call every Democratic ticket the furthest left in the history of forever.

When the choice is wannabe dictator who already encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol and ANYONE ELSE, why would you not vote for anyone else? So stupid.

Meanwhile, back on the topic of Walz himself, I just learned that he did his Master's thesis on the importance of education about the Holocaust. This is amazing.

https://www.jta.org/2024/08/06/politics/tim-walz-wrote-a-masters-thesis-on-holocaust-education-just-as-his-own-schools-approach-drew-criticism
Jewish Telegraphic Agency: Tim Walz wrote a master’s thesis on Holocaust education, just as his own school’s approach drew criticism

But it’s clear that how to teach the Holocaust well has occupied Walz for decades. In 1993, while teaching in Nebraska, he was part of an inaugural conference of U.S. educators convened by the soon-to-open U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Eight years later, after moving to Minnesota, he wrote a thesis arguing for changes in Holocaust education. And as governor, he backed a push to mandate teaching about the Holocaust in Minnesota schools.

Through it all, Walz modeled and argued for careful instruction that treated the Holocaust as one of multiple genocides worth understanding.

“Schools are teaching about the Jewish Holocaust, but the way it is traditionally being taught is not leading to increased knowledge of the causes of genocide in all parts of the world,” Walz wrote in his thesis, submitted in 2001.

The thesis was the culmination of Walz’s master’s degree focused on Holocaust and genocide education at Minnesota State University, Mankato, which he earned while teaching at Mankato West. His 27-page thesis, which JTA obtained, is titled “Improving Human Rights and Genocide Studies in the American High School Classroom.”

You have to admit that a person who can’t be bothered to vote in a way that helps protect their friends and neighbors from the greater evil is pretty self-centered.
