2022 Midterm Elections (Abandon hope all ye who enter here) butnahhh. or maybe?

I’m honestly confused by this large campaign sign. Is it a promise or a threat?

masters

I guess it’s pro-Masters but it’s going to turn off moderates, especially in the relatively blue burbs.

Kelly surrogates have already started painting Masters as an extremist weirdo with ties to Peter Thiel.

People don’t care about Trump being an authoritarian thug, unless it’s tied to “the issues.” Fair enough. New ad:

Trump is a cruel, lawless thug that has changed our country into one that jails women for personal healthcare decisions.

Run news clips of most egregious abortion prosecutions to date

Run clip of Trump saying “there has to be punishment for the mother.”

He told us who he was the first time but we didn’t listen. Don’t make the same mistake again.

This is dumb. Most people can’t explain the actual medical mechanism of any drug.

In fairness, ol’ Jerrold Nadler was pretty correct - Plan B works to prevent pregnancy in 3 ways:

  • delays ovulation
  • blocks fertilization
  • block implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus by changing the uterine lining

Not sure that’s a full men don’t understand vaginas gotcha, though I’m sure most politicians are morons and don’t know anything about anything. I imagine the point stands that lots of people think Plan B is an abortion pill and not a block pregnancy post-coitus pill.

Yeah, this. There are multiple potential mechanisms by which it can prevent pregnancy.

And besides they hate contraceptives of any kind regardless.

I agree with this, but if someone (doesn’t seem like these people) is going hard in the paint about how Plan B kills embryos, then they are going to need to be able to discuss the mechanism to some extent. Generally, those people can’t do it either.

True. Without looking it up, explain how Tylenol works. (Not you Caffeine, I know you know).

Edit: Not you either Wookie.

The capsule opens and the little drug balls inside fly over onto the pain nubs and soothe them, ldo. Don’t you watch commercials?!

If I remember rightly (without looking it up) it’s not actually entirely clear.

The dumbness of the concept extends beyond drugs. It’s like saying only mechanics should be allowed to set speed limits. LOL THESE OUT OF TOUCH POLITICIANS DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIX BRAKES!

I think the nuance she is going for is trying to distinguish the difference between contraception and abortion, which understanding doesn’t require knowledge of the actual medical mechanics of Plan B. She’s doesn’t bring it home though.

yes

the right has been conflating these for years

I thought it it went ovulation → intercourse → insemination. I was definitely not aware that post-intercourse ovulation results in pregnancy, I thought the egg already had to be there.

Also did not know that it can take up to 5 or 6 days for the sperm and the egg to meet.
