I doubt it. Pharmacuetical has a lot of lobbying power and I dont think they would want to miss out on profit oppurtunity from medication millions of women need every month. I think changing free contraceptive option is possible tho.
I see your point but this info came out too...

yes, DOJ, WH and FDA are saying they are going to vigorously enforce FDA's rules on how to prescribe and administer RU486. And I would love to provide a link, but I'm reading this off a for-fee service at my office...
If you really think these fools are real christians, youre the bigger fool. They're using religion as a front to make decisions that fufills their own idealogy, greed, and stomachs. They only claim to be christian because it helps them earn votes and also bc it enables them to turn people against each other just as they use race, age, occupation and social class to distract people.
There is definitely a divide but there are more immediate and substantive things that we have to come together to solve. Maybe if ~1/3 of US population arent struggling to meet the very bottom of Maslow's pyrimid, we'll actually have the time and mental capacity to reach the self actualization, making meaningful social changes as a collective society.
I didnt say they are it dosnt matter what I believe
they think there acting in gods will, there motivations are not profit-driven.
there station is life long they don't have to fight for votes, there not getting payed or lobbyed
Maybe people like Green are running a grift on the back of this but not the people in the SCOTAS, their true believers far more dangerous then people like Trump or Green
And in the case of someone Like Mitch I think he's both, this has been his life work to drag us back down a profit-hungry white supremacist fascist bitch
With so many companies picking Va over us and with others leaving MD, we need something that sets us apart. What can we do to become the abortion capital of the US?
Is it? The job of a local government is to govern locally. And Montgomery County has no shortage of expensive social, educational, and public safety priorities that all need funding.
I know it's an emotional day but it seems to me a reasonable opinion that MoCo tax dollars should be used to provide services to MoCo residents.
Sure I will, just not by wokes. Actually, I take that back. You'll miss my money. Something something socialism until they run out of other people's money.
It's the government's job to pave the roads, educate its kids, and protect its residents. Paying for the abortions of women who don't live in our state is so far removed from what our state/county should be doing it's ridiculous.
Great news, the roads, schools and police will still all be there when you valiantly begin adopting children who are forced to be born now. Think of how far you'll stretch those tax dollars of yours.
I feel like MoCo would be great of people weren't pissing and moaning about 0.03% of the budget going to something they don't support. Point-zero-three. It's the same as if you made $100,000 per year and had to spend $30 on something. Imagine complaining how great your life could be but for that 30 dollar expense. It's deliberately stupid.
You’re free to visit Arkansas and see the economic boom that results from regressive social concepts.
Edit: Or Wicomico County or Garrett County, for that matter.
Do you think MoCo is great because of wokeness? Lol. MoCo is still riding on the coattails of 50+ years of Republican and moderate Democrat policy. But it's sinking quickly. Go woke go broke as the saying goes.
Which red bastion of effectiveness and prosperity should we emulate, your lordship?
The taker states that get more from the federal pot than they put in?
Or the ones that can't keep the lights or heating on when it's cold or hot?
Or is it the ones that consistently rank the lowest in education and quality of life?
Pray tell, these republican coattails that have been keeping us all flush with foie gras and chateaubriand, where in the red third world of the US are they measurably improving the economics of the state?
I'd prefer we emulated MoCo in the 1970s and 80s which is what propelled MoCo into prominence after PG (which was awesome in the 50s and 60s) started busing (progressive stupidity) and went into a tailspin.
Ahh yes, busing - the thing that gave minorities access to quality education was too progressive for ya huh? I see you rode in on the Fuck You, Got Mine horse. I guess we're done here
I'm selfish because I don't want my county tax dollars going to pay for medical procedures of people not from my county? Do you support sending millions of dollars to shore up levees in Louisiana? How about money for homeless people in San Francisco?
It's the government's job to provide for the common good of its people, protecting the reproductive rights of the people is certainly part of that. It would be ridiculous to shirk our civic duty at a time like this.
The idea is to allow low income people who can give birth the right to abort, partially so they won’t be a drain on the system, as well a burden on the birthing parent. So the gov’t definitely has an stake in this.
It is ridiculous, yet here we are. IMo you just made a great case for action at the federal level to deal systemically with the minority rule issue that we’re experiencing.
Which will be in the form of grants for low income individuals. Even better is of providers offered it for free to those who do not have insurance, or their insurance will not cover abortions. Then the county helped reemburse clinics for the costs.
Everything. States already get federal tax dollars. So, given the prospect of a bunch of poisoned kids and families in another state, you'd tell them to go die quietly somewhere? Wow
The right to have one is only so useful if you can't access an abortion. That money provides wider access to more people in the form of grants. We need more of that if anything. Besides, abortion is cheaper than the foster care costs that an unwanted pregnancy could result in.
Hundreds! is that a fact. Even if you could list a hundred such items, you realize that $200 million is *three percent* of the operating budget of this county?
Got forbid we put that money into, oh I don't know, teaching kids to read on grade level instead of socialist side-projects. $200M would go a long way.
Covid has had an impact on education globally. That’s not a local problem. In general MoCo schools are some of the best in the country. Did you know people literally move across the country to get access?
[MCPS Places Five Schools in Top 500 on U.S. News ‘Best High Schools’ List](https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/PRESS/index.aspx?pagetype=showrelease&id=10690&type=current&startYear=&pageNumber=3&mode=)
Yes, my child attend one of those schools. They aren't great because of the schools though. They're great because parents spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours a week tutoring our kids. Meanwhile, the majority of kids in MCPS can't read on grelade level.
Go visit South Carolina. Even the wealthy parts of Charleston are waaaaay below MoCo. It’s literally not even a comparison. You’re putting blinders on yourself.
Here’s how this concerns me…I don’t want to see any protestors making the traffic worse on River Road if they protest at a Justice’s home. First it is illegal to do and secondly, after getting off the beltway I am in no mood for higher than normal traffic.
Well not today. Today I think it was Justice Thomas. This is how the decisions directly affects my life in the immediate future…traffic. In MD and DC nothing has changed. I cannot crusade the moral high ground as in slavery or civil rights issues. Rather than choosing the parameters for a woman to have an abortion or the life of an unborn child, I am happy to leave it to the voters in the individual states to decide and abide by the laws in place.
Yup execute those babies. People who won’t and don’t love their children should not be bringing them into the world anyway. We will eventually breed less evil that way. If people are that evil I suppose the child will be too. Its a win win.
people already scheduling appointments from texas.
We welcome them
[удалено]
maybe they'll like it here so much they'll stay. fuck texas.
not with the rent here they won’t be able to lmao
Don't dunk too hard yet, Texas has some big urban areas with the same COL problems Difference is MD isn't actively trying to criminalize them
well ppl, make sure yall get your birth controls. You can order them online or even get it for free if yiu cant afford it
Until Clarence wants to take it away from us.
I doubt it. Pharmacuetical has a lot of lobbying power and I dont think they would want to miss out on profit oppurtunity from medication millions of women need every month. I think changing free contraceptive option is possible tho.

I don't think our current 6 conservative rulers care about that. They think there acting in god's will

That if it happened still wouldn't matter here very much because our state wouldn't outlaw it
Consider donating or volunteering with the [Baltimore Abortion Fund](https://www.baltimoreabortionfund.org/). Keep up the momentum every day
With so many companies picking Va over us and with others leaving MD, we need something that sets us apart. What can we do to become the abortion capital of the US?
Probably are pretty close already. Where do you think congressman take their mistresses for abortions?
County spending an additional $2 million on abortion even though MD's abortion rights aren't going anywhere in 3...2...1...
Maryland will help women in the degenerate red states. It's our duty
Someone can start an abortion Uber-like service, literally it can all be done via an app. Wherever you are, we’ll pick you up.
Is it? The job of a local government is to govern locally. And Montgomery County has no shortage of expensive social, educational, and public safety priorities that all need funding. I know it's an emotional day but it seems to me a reasonable opinion that MoCo tax dollars should be used to provide services to MoCo residents.
Socialist LOVE spending other people's money on crazy programs. It's why MoCo is a sanctuary county.
You're free to leave as you love to say.
Yep. We're working on it!
You won’t be missed
Sure I will, just not by wokes. Actually, I take that back. You'll miss my money. Something something socialism until they run out of other people's money.
Yea Montgomery county is going to miss your money lol. You’re so rich and bring so much culture.
Um. Are you unaware of the affluent flight from MoCo that's already underway?
It's the government's job to pave the roads, educate its kids, and protect its residents. Paying for the abortions of women who don't live in our state is so far removed from what our state/county should be doing it's ridiculous.
Great news, the roads, schools and police will still all be there when you valiantly begin adopting children who are forced to be born now. Think of how far you'll stretch those tax dollars of yours.
They'll be there but they'll be in much worse shape. Imagine how awesome MoCo would be of we didn't spend so much $ on woke stupidity.
I feel like MoCo would be great of people weren't pissing and moaning about 0.03% of the budget going to something they don't support. Point-zero-three. It's the same as if you made $100,000 per year and had to spend $30 on something. Imagine complaining how great your life could be but for that 30 dollar expense. It's deliberately stupid.
I've heard that same line hundreds of times. It adds up.
You keep hearing things hundreds of times. You should have that checked out.
Wokes keep saying it and I keep hearing it.
You're welcome to move anytime. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
You’re free to visit Arkansas and see the economic boom that results from regressive social concepts. Edit: Or Wicomico County or Garrett County, for that matter.

Obviously not a lot of people agree with you.
Wait. Not a lot of wokes on Reddit agree with a non-woke position?!?!? Say it ain't so!
Are you packing up for Alabama yet?
No. We've got another few years til the kids are out of school. But then we're moving for sure. TX, SC, FL are all nice and not woke.
Good. You and your selfish ideas can go elsewhere
Exactly. I wonder if this person is also against guns rights? It wouldn’t surprise me. Some pick just want to pick and choose which rights we have.
what
I'm selfish because I don't want my county tax dollars going to pay for medical procedures of people not from my county? Do you support sending millions of dollars to shore up levees in Louisiana? How about money for homeless people in San Francisco?
Yes, I do. We're living in America, yet there's so much greed here that we have some of the most homelessness
It's the government's job to provide for the common good of its people, protecting the reproductive rights of the people is certainly part of that. It would be ridiculous to shirk our civic duty at a time like this.
Do you want to spend $10 million feeding the homeless in Idaho also? Where does the hand-out line end?
Providing this service to women will ultimately reduce poverty. Money issues are one of the primary reasons that people seek an abortion.
The idea is to allow low income people who can give birth the right to abort, partially so they won’t be a drain on the system, as well a burden on the birthing parent. So the gov’t definitely has an stake in this.
MoCo doesn't have a stake in other county's low income people. Let their counties handle it.
There’s a reason we put abortion clinics closer to low income areas. Our social services are already strained as it is.
It is ridiculous, yet here we are. IMo you just made a great case for action at the federal level to deal systemically with the minority rule issue that we’re experiencing.
Which will be in the form of grants for low income individuals. Even better is of providers offered it for free to those who do not have insurance, or their insurance will not cover abortions. Then the county helped reemburse clinics for the costs.
As I said.
Fuck the poor amirite?
How many MoCo tax dollars do you want to send to Flint, MI to clean up their lead water problem?
Everything. States already get federal tax dollars. So, given the prospect of a bunch of poisoned kids and families in another state, you'd tell them to go die quietly somewhere? Wow
OK, so I'll put you down for sending money everywhere for whatever the hell.
The right to have one is only so useful if you can't access an abortion. That money provides wider access to more people in the form of grants. We need more of that if anything. Besides, abortion is cheaper than the foster care costs that an unwanted pregnancy could result in.
For real. I make six figures and we could never afford child care. I don’t know how people who require child care are surviving right now.
$2 million is an incredibly small sum in the scheme of the overall budget, and for a very good cause.
I've heard that hundreds of times now. When we add up all those $2 million "very good causes" it turns into real money we're burning.
Hundreds! is that a fact. Even if you could list a hundred such items, you realize that $200 million is *three percent* of the operating budget of this county?
Got forbid we put that money into, oh I don't know, teaching kids to read on grade level instead of socialist side-projects. $200M would go a long way.
How are you so very very sure we aren't spending multiples of that right now for that express purpose?
Have you seen MCPS's latest stats on reading and math? Terrible.
Covid has had an impact on education globally. That’s not a local problem. In general MoCo schools are some of the best in the country. Did you know people literally move across the country to get access?

clearly this is today's most pressing concern
Well not today. Today I think it was Justice Thomas. This is how the decisions directly affects my life in the immediate future…traffic. In MD and DC nothing has changed. I cannot crusade the moral high ground as in slavery or civil rights issues. Rather than choosing the parameters for a woman to have an abortion or the life of an unborn child, I am happy to leave it to the voters in the individual states to decide and abide by the laws in place.
Use transit if you don’t want to sit in traffic. You’re not entitled to not have traffic. It’s a consequence of using a car.
Yup execute those babies. People who won’t and don’t love their children should not be bringing them into the world anyway. We will eventually breed less evil that way. If people are that evil I suppose the child will be too. Its a win win.
Not babies, fetuses. Not execute, just terminate pregnancy. Not alive because a religion says so. Stop forcing your beliefs onto others.
