Am I the only straight male on the planet who finds the concept of аnаl sex to be kind of icky?
I mean, there's poop in there. Even if she does an enema first, there's still poop.
I'm not really a fan of smearing feces over any part of my body. I would be bad at being gay.
Anyway, politics. Gotta remember this is the politics thread...

What she seems to forget, is that the pro-abortion movement and initial Supreme Court decision to protect abortion rights was arguably rooted in racism, since the majority of women receiving abortions were black, and this was perceived to be a form of eugenics to limit growth of the black population.
Unfortunately for her, overturning that is quite the opposite. Black women still account for the highest percentage of legal abortions at 38%, with white women at 33%. So... I guess white supremacy is geared towards increasing the number of black voters 18 years from now?

These kinds of strawman arguments really are beneath you, and you should find them shameful. Amanda Duarte is not a journalist, and she has never been employed by the New York Times, or any other newspaper. She is an actress. And, judging by her IMDB page, not a very good one.
I fact-checked this, and determined it to be false.
In the US, the ratio of abortions to live births for black women is 386 per 1,000, meaning that more than 25% of all viable black pregnancies are aborted.
By comparison, the ratio among non-Hispanic white women is 117 : 1,000, or around 10% of all viable pregnancies.
Of course, the ratios are much higher in predominantly poor and rural areas, such as the south-east, where concentrations of both overt racism and evangelical Christianity are highest. In states such as Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, etc., more than 50% of all aborted fetuses are black.

Opposing abortion is highly anti-racist.
Supporting abortion is racist.

I think it's interesting that people can't understand that the fed really doesn't/shouldn't have the constitutional authority to guarantee murdering babies, the 10th amendment says that's up to the states to decide.

Not when their contributions are opinion pieces about entertainment and culture, no.
Media? Sure. Journalism? No.
That truly is the issue. And, frankly, the Fed (and the Court) have taken waaaaaaaaaaay too broad a view of the Implied Powers flowing from the Necessary & Proper clause over the past 60 or so years. I have not yet read the opinion in this case, but I'm assuming that the Court is acting mostly on that basis.
HOWEVER, none of that matters. It's like you're forgetting that these wokies:
A: Don't care about the Constitution, because it was written by white men and is therefore bad, and
2: Want the Federal government to have limitless authority to impose the leftist view of society on everyone.
As I said earlier, talking to these people about the limitations on Federal authority imposed by the constitution accomplishes about at much as telling me that the Universe is 6,000 years old because it says so in the bible. Their feelings are more important than some dumb old constitution.

I am begging you, seriously, to please contemplate the manner in which you are propagating the misuse of the term "liberal" in precisely the manner intended by the reprobates who have stolen that term as a cloak to disguise their socialist / communist agenda.
Nearly all of those who claim the banner of Liberalism in 21st century America reject and oppose 100% of that which defines that term in the classical sense.

classic liberal. This is common knowledge (unless you have been in a coma for the last 100 years when the term got repurposed to mean the opposite of the original definition).
