    Its really is some fuckin :1984: shit. The entire anonymous reporting of friends, family, neighbors or anyone else they suspect of having a ""late"" abortion is disgusting. It's some genuine fascist ass shit. I really do feel sad for child bearing people who don't or can't go through with a pregnancy. And at the same time I'm certain there will be large public figure and/or their spouses who get one and they'll likely not face any of the same consequences because of the way chuds do mental gymnastics to justify why Good Peope™ can do Bad Things™

      Yeah, this and the "run over protesters with your car if you want lol" laws are a pretty big departure from the bad stuff that goes on in Democratic states. You also have Democratic states doing some undeniably good things, like marijuana legalization or (this is more at local levels) decarceration efforts.

      All this is to say that "it isn't very different than blue dominated states" is the type of take some left-leaning lib would hear and think "oh, these leftists are out to lunch." There are too many huge exceptions to it. It's much clearer to put any similarities in terms of both parties being capitalist parties that serve capital interests, but acknowledge that there are meaningful differences within that category.

        the “run over protesters with your car if you want lol” laws

        Has anyone run over a chud protest and cited that yet? I know they'd get the death penalty anyway because it's (not so) secretly a white supremacy law, but still
