It's more the hypocrisy of some people. The ones who cheer for a huge defense/foreign aid budget year after year no matter who it's for, and then leave bitchy comments on FB about student loan forgiveness being "unfair" because it uses their tax dollars.

Banning abortion makes the parent and infant suffer completely unnecessarily, and often die completely unnecessarily.

Is it really "name calling" if it's true?

If he could prove he was graduating in a matter of weeks then that's fucking ridiculous. I was accepted to grad schools before I even passed my final undergrad classes. It's just on a conditional basis, but nothing changed when I actually got the degree. Besides, there's time between the last classes ending and commencement, then months between commencement and getting the actual degree in the mail and your transcripts being updated.

I'm hope he feels like he dodged a bullet.

It's weird how I've seen several of these kinds of comments on lemmy recently. They're responding to a post that's pointing out an obvious social/political/economic problem by reducing it to the poster having some kind of personal mental health issue or accusng them of being stupid because they don't know enough about the issue to have a degree in it.

I don't think I've ever seen them anywhere else. Maybe they just always got buried on reddit, idk. But it's an interesting redirection that's a) super unproductive, and b) trying really hard to take focus off a very real social issue. "Your late stage capitalist country quickly descending into fascism? Have you considered Wellbutrin?"

Even though you're right, I think this sentiment minimizes the horrific things the American christian right is doing.

I keep seeing multiple variations of this comment on every single lemmy post about christian conservatives. Idk if it's like an astroturfing thing or what, but it normalizes these kind of fascist acts. We should be shocked. We should be surprised and outraged and insulted. The minute we're not is when it becomes normal. And we know that's dangerous af because we're already watching it happen.

"Post-birth abortion"

This shit is like an SNL parody of America

The internet is not qualified to be your therapist.

I thought it was illegal now for airlines to keep people on the tarmac for hours like this

It's also so much more expensive to buy from small, local businesses. Not everyone can afford to do that, no matter how much they hate buying from Amazon or Walmart.

I think the assumption they're making with that comment is that this is a result of a higher population of Black women in a specific area of TN, but "more likely to die" isn't necessarily the same as "more deaths," though that may also be true. As the doctor in the article points out, there are factors like discrimination by health care professionals (such as not being believed when they're telling the doctor there is a problem) and complications that occur in higher numbers in Black women (which can be due to other facors stemming from systemic racism such as income, healthcare access, environmental racism, etc).

This is a short article, but there's plenty of papers out there about how people are treated differently by doctors and have different levels of access to healthcare in the US based on what population they belong to (racial, ethnic, lgbtq+, etc) and that women of color typically have the poorest healh outcomes.

Can we please just ban psypost already? It's just pseudo pop science with intentionally misleading clickbaity headlines
