I'll bet you'd feel quite at home in China.
An online dump of Chinese hacking documents offers a rare window into pervasive state surveillance
The unauthorized and highly unusual online dump of documents is linked to China’s top policing agency and other parts of its government.apnews.com
Err, if the majority of the electorate didn't want Roe v Wade overturned, then the Dems are supporting the popular choice of their constituents; if that wins an election, then so be it.
Then you're admitting that democrat politicians must be happy that Roe vs. Wade got overturned due to it helping them get elected. It indicates that they don't care about the people, but only themselves, which means that they aren't serving the people at all.
No, they are not happy.
Republicans can't believe the dems' luck either. They have a president who is barely able to find his way off the stage, even to get to an ice cream cone, and is losing in all polls to Trump. AND they don't get a choice. No Dem primary for voters to decide. Just "take biden and live with it".
Yes, whereas the GOP are unbelievably electing Trump ... the only one that would lose against Biden.
At least we had a primary so the voters can make their choices known. In fact, that hasn't ended. It's still Trump vs Haley, even though Haley has been shown to have no chance of winning even a single state. But we still let the people cast their vote to say which one they prefer. We believe in democracy.
Have you studied history, sitting presidents are not normally challenged in the primaries, in any credible way. And when they are challenged they don't lose.
First, I'm not a guy so not your brother.
It's not surprising, but I'm noticing many are entirely blind to the thrashings Reps have been getting since they ended Roe v Wade. So sure they were, until they've lost every election to criminalize abortion. Even snuffing a red wave hasn't made them realize America deeply disagrees with them on the subject.
This isn't about tracking the number of procedures, it is about creating a file that allows the government know personal medical history with identifiers. It is the government tracking you according to what you have done without your permission. Would you like the government to create a database with your voting history? Same idea.
Yes, Trump lost in 2020, but not in the primary.
So you either cannot or refuse to answer a simple question.We can see that MAGA Republicans can't be trusted with human life and welfare. No one can trust that MAGAs will not abuse their power and threaten or even arrest women who had abortions. They are owed privacy, and should not have to fear the government.
Kansas already has seen what anti-abortion republicans wll do with private information.

Abortion controversy[edit]In 2005, Kline began investigating possible cases of child rape and illegal partial-birth and late-term abortions. In doing so, Kline requested the redacted medical records (without names) of 90 women and girls who either gave birth to a child or had an abortion. His office was ultimately granted these redacted records by the Kansas Supreme Court.[11][12]On December 21, 2006, Kline charged abortion provider Dr. George Tiller with more than 30 misdemeanors, most involving abortions Tiller allegedly performed on minors. But just hours after the charges were unsealed, a Sedgwick County judge threw them out "at the request of Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston, who said her office had not been consulted by Kline."[13] However, on June 28, 2007, a 19-count indictment was unexpectedly filed against Tiller by Kline's successor, Paul J. Morrison. On March 27, 2009, Dr. Tiller was found not guilty of all 19 misdemeanor charges stemming from some abortions he performed at his Wichita clinic in 2003.[14] Despite the acquittal, Tiller was charged on December 12, 2008, by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts (KBHA) on 11 counts of illegal late-term abortions. The board had many appointees of anti-abortion Governor Sam Brownback, including a member from Operation Rescue West (ORW).[15][12] On May 31, 2009, while serving as an usher at his church's Sunday morning services, Tiller was assassinated by Scott Roeder, an ORW member who had the cell phone number of ORW staff member and convicted clinic arsonist Cheryl Sullenger, on a post-it note on his dashboard when he was apprehended fleeing, a few hours after the murder.[16][12]In a related matter, Kline was named a defendant in a suit brought in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas challenging a state law requiring "doctors and other professionals"[17] to report "all consensual underage sexual activity as sexual abuse."[18] On April 18, 2006, Judge J. Thomas Marten agreed and issued a permanent injunction, ruling that such a policy violated the children's rights to informational privacy and could not be justified by Kansas law.[18]In 2006, Kline and Operation Rescue claimed that Robert A. Estrada, an alleged rapist, was captured with the help of abortion clinic medical records subpoenaed as a result of Kline's investigation.[19] The District Attorney who prosecuted Estrada challenged ORW's claims, stating that Kline and the records had no involvement in the prosecution.[19]Kline was suspended from practicing law due to the fact that he illegally accessed the private medical records of women who made the choice to have an abortion. He obtained some records provided on his demand to Dr. Kristin Neuhaus, whose prosecution he pursued after Dr. Tiller's assassination, and illegally disclosed them, including discussing them with then-Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on television.[12] The Kansas Supreme Court stated:
