'''subject''': petition: defend abortion access

https://action.aclu.org/send-message/defend-abortion-access-all

For my letter, I wrote this:<blockquote>
The far-right war on abortion is war on a free and egalitarian society. Both political parties need to come together to fight this by protecting reproductive rights at the federal level.

Abortion should be a personal and medical decision, not the government's choice.
</blockquote>
That last sentence is aimed squarely at our conservoid Congressional reps, who are always talking about how government should be small and unobtrusive. Their actions consistently belie their words, but I like to give people an honorable way out when I can by pretending they didn't *mean* to be forking hypocrites.

Someone on Mastodon [https://mastodon.technology/@Argus/107374168552611185 added]: "small enough to fit in the body and bedroom, yes." Indeed! Hurrah for Republican fold-away vaginally-inserted government! Fits neatly in your purse, right next to your AR-15 and ivermectin tablets. (Be sure to wash thoroughly and sanitize between pregnancies. WARNING: May cause electile dysfunction.)

		+	Dennis continues to dig in; I responded:
		+	<blockquote>
		+	"You don't have to move to another state to get an abortion." While the idea of just traveling to another state for an abortion is more practical (certainly a lot of people in Texas are now having to do exactly that), the point remains that a lot of the people most in need of abortions cannot afford to do this.
		+
		+	As I said: your privilege is showing.
		+
		+	"I raised seven children in poverty. They all became functioning adults."
		+
		+	One thing I'm curious about: Did you make use of government aid during this time?
		+
		+	"You think they should have been killed?"
		+
		+	(...speaking of straw-manning the opposition...)
		+
		+	What have I ever said that would lead you to believe I might think that?
		+
		+	"Politicians are supposed to govern with the consent of the governed, not just Woozle."
		+
		+	WHICH ONE OF US IS ARGUING THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE A BLANKET PROHIBITION ON A HIGHLY PERSONAL MEDICAL-ETHICAL CHOICE, DENNIS?
		+
		+	That's the OPPOSITE OF CONSENT.
		+
		+	Gods, you are a prize pazoozle. Why am I even responding anymore.

		+	Dennis digs in; I responded again:
		+	<blockquote>
		+	I see you can't even grasp basic logic -- so when others try to explain it to you, you think they are confused.
		+
		+	I'll go over this one more time:
		+
		+	1.
		+
		+	you said: "The court is not trying to end abortion rights but leave it up to the states."
		+
		+	Leaving a right "up to the states" is removing that right nationally. A right doesn't exist unless it is enforced.
		+
		+	2.
		+
		+	you said: "This puts this matter into the hands of citizens, not appointed judges."
		+
		+	This is the exact opposite of reality.
		+
		+	If you have a right to do something, then the choice to do it (or not) is yours.
		+
		+	If you don't have that right, then it's up to others (including but not limited to the government) to decide whether you're allowed to.
		+
		+	Letting the states decide means that any state can choose to take away that right.

		+	--

		+	At the very least, you're being dishonest with yourself -- and I see no reason to think you're being honest with me, either. Nobody could possibly really believe the twisty non-logic you're putting out here.
