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.

      So your police will fire wildly at a crowd of civilians? You have already lost. You are under fascist rule. You will now have to arm yourselves to survive.

      In all of these discussions the defense from the left is always “we are weak and pathetic”.

      The opponent does not think this way.

        I agree, we should all be armed! That’s great for self-defense or an escape.

        But for you individually, your odds of survival go down if you attack the police station. If you sit that one out, you can free ride off other people dying to protect you from a common bully.

              You do not understand anything in my previous sentence, do you? You think it means meeting on a battlefield, don’t you?

              I am sick of a world full of feckless pussies. I hope it nukes tomorrow.
