and yes, 1933 comes to mind. And a few here will be delighted and applaud.

The KuKluxKlan have been distributing flyers all over Kentucky warning immigrants to leave before it is too late.

Now THAT is truly shocking.

I am glad Gransnet didn’t stop this thread- it’s good to read other people’s opinions even if they’re not the same as yours. You never know what you might learn about what’s going on in the world! Obviously as I saw some things are removed for probably going too far.

So, women ( and men) who voted for Trump- is this the future you want for your daughters, mothers, sisters, and female friends ?

The KKK should be banned.

Women have been arrested after miscarriages.
As if having a miscarriage isn't traumatic enough. 😯
They need tlc.

Trump said before the election that he was going for a major no holds barred power grab.

He’s true to his word.

I just hope that there will be sufficient resistance to prevent it getting beyond hope.

Here is the resolution:

www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/7/text

Which states: "Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care;"

And mentions Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers. They are an anti-abortion group who is anti birth control.

He has pardoned anti-abortion activists.

Several states have submitted bills that would charge women having abortions with murder.

Texas is putting out advertisements for men whose wives/girlfriends/ex's who had an abrtion to sue out of state providers.

Women have been arrested after miscarriages.

Pregnant women with non-viable pregnancies have died in multiple states because they couldn't get abortion care.

3 states have just been approved by the Supreme Court to sue to ban abortion medications, which will lead to a national abortion ban.

Pro-life activists have asked the DOJ, FDA and the acting attorney general to revive the Comstock act.

South Carolina currently has a case at the SC that will allow them to stop funding Planned Parenthood all together, which will affect minorities and low income women the most. They will be unable to get standard health care and screenings if they win.

Harry might be.
If he lied on his visa application.

Well, hardworking Mexicans might be but don't worry about Harry even though he may have been guilty of lying by omission, FriedGreenTomatoes2!

It is bad Wyllow3. Let me go dig up what the Republicans are proposing for women's health care in the US.

Trump and Vance are both addressing an anti abortion rally tomorrow "March for Life".

I want to hear what they say over this crucial aspect of women's health now the election is over. "Leave it up to the States" won't hack it.

It’s horrifying, shocking, but sadly not surprising.

“Pro-life” should be more honestly name “anti-abortion” they do zero to help support these unwanted babies or their mums once baby is born.

Meghan is half white, half black. Sorry to disappoint you, but they aren't targeting black Americans yet.

Nicely done FGT. Immigration, Trump and H&M all in one

“Right now, brown people are being overwhelmingly targeted and rounded up without warrants and due process.”

Do you think the Duchess of Sussex might be at risk?.

I thought her heritage was Nigerian, so surely she wouldn’t be classed as a brown person, but a black person?

One big concern among the Native Americans is they don’t all have ID s of any sort .

Oh my, I had not seen this. Just sickening- if native Americans don't belong there sad

That's what Syracute was talking about earlier.

Also, she referred to 'illegals' in answer to my question about why native Americans were being detained by ICE.

Cossy Fri 24-Jan-25 20:15:34

I’m completely disgusted and appalled at this, and more so by the fact that there are a few (very few) on here who actually support this sickening behaviour.

For pity’s sake stop calling people “illegals”, it’s so ignorant and just wrong.

Take a good long look at yourself, for most of us living in the UK it’s simply an accident of birth and there but for the grace of god…..
