There is no middle ground on the basic right to abortion care. Either you believe women should control their own bodies, or you believe the government should control women's bodies. That's it. Anti-choice hypocrites want us to believe it's murky, but it's not. It's that simple.
@charlotteclymer MAGA thugs only want *choice when it punishes others by taking away rights: eg school choice, *pro life, antivaccine, right to work, religious rights
@carolleisa @charlotteclymer I'm curious how you see school choice as taking away rights. (For the others I can probably guess the circuitous argument.)
@ech @charlotteclymer Use of term school choice refers to post Brown v Board when separate but equal was partially overturned. Public funds started transfer to religious n private corporate schools. It really wasn’t so much choice as a covert way to bolster mostly white schools n control content. Busing later became part of the chaos in the ‘80s. City white kids in lottery had choice of corporate backed schools n tax money flowed back to suburban schools where city blacks could attend.
@ech @charlotteclymer This btw was the hs busing system for Milwaukee area kids. Another glitch was troublemakers opted entering the lottery late so they all got in the same city school. Our city HS was only a few blocks away but my kids had to travel an hour from 6 am to separate schools in different parts of the city at first. They never forgave me. Few families were happy. As a suburban news editor I was threatened w/ a cross to burn on my head bc they blamed me for the whole thing.
@carolleisa @charlotteclymer an hour away? these sound like problems that would go away with school choice?
@ech @charlotteclymer one reason that it was intolerable and didn’t work. A nightmare.
Anyway *Choice was fiction. Kids wanted to stay in their neighborhoods but instead of working with adults on opening up the neighborhoods the the powers thought making the kids do all the work to desegregate was the way to a better future. It wasn’t at least for Milw.
