I have granddaughters in Missouri and Iowa. All of us, male and female, must learn how to best navigate a terrain that threatens to become increasingly problematic.

Great thread worthy of a feature and sticky if I've ever seen one.

First thing to teach them all is DON'T VOTE GOP

Those in the crosshairs do not need me to "teach them" anything. The first thing to learn is "how to best navigate a terrain that threatens to become increasingly problematic."

That's why I said, don't vote GOP

Would seem like an impossible task for one who may be in a desperate situation, travel where, how far, what awaits me when I come back home, etc.?

Precisely, and this makes being well informed all the more critical.

You got it wrong. The first thing to teach them is to drink the group think kool aid. Alternatively they could be taught to think for themselves and be a responsible adult about sex. But that wouldn’t help the abortion industrial complex.

Good grief, ever heard of accidents? I fear it is you who have been drinking the Kool Aid
Ever thought how difficult free family planning is to obtain, free condoms, free contraceptive pills, etc., Planned Parenthood are a thing for the good.
There is no such thing as the 'abortion industrial complex' - in the US you make more money from people giving birth than aborting after 12 weeks.

What if the Pub is pro-abortion rights?
Republican Joe O'Dea, who supports some abortion rights, wins Colorado Senate primary
Bad idea to blindly make it about party.

Good grief, responsible adults anticipate possible accidents and plan accordingly! Free this, free that, those aren’t “free”. In case you haven’t heard, “there’s no free lunch”. Yes, “abortion industrial complex” is an apt description. The amount of money PP makes directly for charging for abortions is small potatoes compared to the graft, corruption and political funding under the table kick backs. Wake up.

But which party promotes such nonsense?

In the UK all those things are available free.
We have free healthcare for mothers and children, free prescriptions.
We also have clinics (like PP) that give advice before embarking on a relationship, will supply condoms or other contraceptive methods for free.
School is free and schools teach lessons on sex education.

Compared to the amount of money and corruption that keeps the US's appalling health care system, the amount in the 'abortion industry' is non existent.
Abortion is not something anyone wants, but access to it should not be refused and made illegal. That will lead to a backdoor industry charging 10x as much.

 

[Revoltingest]

But which party promotes such nonsense?

Both promote nonsense of 1 flavor or another.
So I vote for individuals rather than party.
(Although Libertarian is my default.)

And some Pubs favor reproductive rights.

But if you vote GOP you are helping enable those that are anti-abortion. No matter how your candidate sides.

I think it is the other way around.
They make more money by performing abortions, than funding contraceptives ( birth control pills, IUDs, condoms). They lose money funding them.
Which is not that coherent. If the dems really wanted to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies, they would fund contraception. And not abortion clinics.

I don't see things as so party oriented.

It isn't an either/or situation.
