The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.

    the US idolizes productivity, and ignores the lower classes’ needs because they don’t fund campaigns. the younger generations have more empathy so theres hope.

      the younger generations have more empathy

      Some, but not all. My mid-20s niece and her husband are racist. My kid is in high school and is friends with a pack of awesome kids who give me tremendous hope for the future, but there are lots of Tate fans, Trump fans, and other shitheads there too.

      Kids are just younger people, they come in all different kinds just like adults - and just like adults, some of them are assholes.

      Not saying we should write them off, just saying we shouldn’t be complacent about the inherent goodness and decency of youth, because it’s fictitious. They learn everything from watching us, and sometimes those lessons suck.
