Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Women are a commodity to the Pro-life crowd. Just get another one if this one dies.

If "it" dies

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

They have proven in no uncertain, inarguable terms that they do not care about women. This is not about saving the 'poor babies' because these fetuses would die regardless when the mother dies.

These women could be devout Christians in long-term marriages and on their fourth pregnancy. It doesn't matter in Idaho. This is punishing women for literally existing.

And this is why so many of all genders are choosing sterilization these days. I'm sure that will soon be illegal as well, though, along with most other forms of birth control.

This is why I'm accelerating my plans for a hysterectomy by a year even though it will complicate quite a few things for me.

I'm sorry the current state of things has made it necessary for you. It's especially frustrating when so many medical procedures are called "unnecessary" by the health insurance industry, but truly unnecessary surgery is being made necessary by the same people's political choices.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Thankfully, I do meet criteria for medical necessity, it's just a matter of getting it done in the middle of medical school instead of when I'm done with everything and actually have a substantial amount of time off for full recovery.

Idaho thinks pregnancy should cost an arm and a leg.

They care more for their potatoes.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Well sure - you can make money with potatoes.

Shithole states helping us find our way to being one of those shithole countries.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That's the neat part - shithole states are the shithole country.

Cries in leopard tears.

We are literally heading towards hands maids tail. I want out.

And the name of the act is Conservativism

[–] comador@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Idaho, lovingly referred to as Utah-lite or Mormon-ho by neighboring States is sincerely just as fucked as Utah for Women.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Idahooooooooo.

Always a good sign when you're in the news, Idaho. Something wonderful is happening, isn't it.
