Police in the United Kingdom are using data from period tracking apps and mass spectrometry tests conducted on blood, placenta, and urine to investigate patients who have had “unexplained” miscarriages.
Though abortion is legal in the UK, there are TRAP laws in place requiring certain conditions to be met first, paramount of which is that two separate doctors need to agree that the patient meets the criteria of the 1967 Abortion Act before any treatment can go ahead. Self-managed abortion is a criminal offense with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the UK, as is any abortion performed after the pregnancy has progressed passed 23 weeks and six days, unless the patient is at risk of serious physical harm or death, or the fetus has severe developmental anomalies.
All revolts have risk. Everyone knows this. A revolutionary does not dwell in them.
I want a revolution that can succeed because it has a social structure of some kind. Not one that will just kill off our most altruistic allies by unilaterally hurling our bodies at armed thugs.
What is the social structure that fuels radical fascism?
I don’t know. Why do you ask?
Because their revolution has worked great without any social structure.
Which revolution was that? Like the Founding Fathers, or January 6th, or the police, or what?
All of the radical right wing violence leading to more radical right wing politicians and radical right wing division from society on a local level. Also, the radical right wing threats of violence against political opponents that gives us shitbags like MTG.
But right-wing political parties are a social structure. Voting works better than dying in a hail of bullets, and voting works even better if you’ve got no qualms with gerrymandering to retain power.
So…vote harder?
Where does “dying in a hail of bullets” come into play?
