Court sees through Ron DeSantis’ lies behind his law banning medical care for trans youth
  • You are correct, it is only reversible care. Nobody gets a sex change under 18 in the US due to minor status consent and permanent procedures like that. Unfortunately you will find it hard to prove something that doesn't happen, happened. That's why they choose this route so they can claim that they are making sure kids aren't getting sex changes by getting the medical/therapy records for anyone Trans.

    The problem is that it's just so they get their info to persecute them, which even if this gets stopped in court it keeps Trans people from seeking professional care due to completely legitimate fears of future breaches. They win whether they get the records or not.

  • Merry Christmas
  • That's kinda fair, but only if not looking at context. Unions represent the will/votes of the workers, and in the past women's rights were culturally looked down on. In the present day equality is a more widespread cultural view so unions now would reflect that, at least in areas that do. So essentially unions are only as good as the current majority ethics of the workers within them.

  • Mike Johnson is evil and controlled by the devil, says Christian minister
  • Also fun is technically, while it is a fallacy in the general sense, in the Christian religion they actually talk about false Christians as part of Christianity. So in a general sense it is a fallacy, but by its own rules they can be called as such and technically isn't a fallacy. False prophets, pharisees, antichrist and whatnot.

  • God during slavery
  • In around 1946 it was changed from the word for man-bed to homosexual. This is due to translation from Greek to the various different languages, including English over the years. Apparently the original greek word used was arsenokoitai which wasn't the word for homosexual just meaning man-bed having many meanings such as sexual perverts, which if he meant explicitly homosexual he would have used paiderasste.

  • God during slavery
  • Except the anti-gay part is a 70 year old (seemingly deliberate) misinterpretation of a line saying a man shouldn't lay with a boy. Which was about not being a pedophile, which these religious "leaders" do daily, and not about homosexuality. The Gold metals go to religions for gymnastics, mental category.

  • Catholicism
  • It's not murder equivalent though. You probably have this image in your mind of a fully formed fetus when in actuality its something smaller than a pea by the time like 99% of abortions are done. There is no mind formed, the whole "heartbeat" thing was a lie, it was essentially the cells forming parts and doing basic tests on them to see if it works yet. Your logic would also dictate men NEED to have kids every moment because sperm only lives for a day or so and if they don't fertilize then it's the same as a mass murder (even though only one sperm survives fertilization, so still mass murder).

    Also what about future possible kids? If you plan to only have a set number of kids, and aren't in a good place, financially, mentally, or otherwise to have them right now you are looking at two possible options.

    Option one: have them now and ruin your, your spouse, AND the kids lives by raising them without funds and before living life and maturing into a better person and parent, and in situations of stress like that you end up yelling at them unjustly, hitting them, or otherwise taking your problems out on everyone else (intentional, or not. Directly or not). Not to mention the overworking hours to pay for them takes you out of their lives when they need you most.

    Or Option two: wait until you are ready, financially, mentally, or otherwise and give that same number of kids the life they deserve. And you all get to have much happier lives.

    Now in both possible universes the same number of lives are born, and even if you picked universe one, now you've deleted the kids in universe two. So it's still removing their futures.

    There is no logical, or even ethical, reason to prevent abortions other than to control women and hurt children. Period. Anyone who says abortions are bad are hateful anti-human or anti-thinking people who want to push themself into others lives and force them to live how they demand.
