Missouri AG issues order barring Planned Parenthood clinics from providing medication abortions

"AG Bailey's attempt to gin up a fake story and score political points is a clear attempt to threaten and intimidate the state's only abortion providers, but Planned Parenthood will not be deterred," leaders stated Wednesday in a press release before the desist order was issued.

Poilievre’s greatest strength as party leader is his absolute control over his MP’s communications; they are forbidden to speak on policy matters—especially those that might not resonate with voters. He trusts very few people to speak for the party and those that are permitted to are carefully stage-managed and speak only in scripted talking points.

Poilievre’s strategy is to distract voters with rage-bait sloganeering, while deftly sleepwalking them into voting against their own self-interest.

"If you ask the leader, they'll tell you they're pro-choice," said Rayes. "They'll affirm it, in an attempt to placate people who feel strongly, people trying to attack the Conservative Party.
"But that's not where the problem is. The problem is that you have, inside the organization, extremely powerful groups, members who are at the conventions and who influence the policies."

He said those members put the party in a position where it has to publicly reject calls to legislate abortion while making room for people within the party who are working hard to restrict it.

CBCEx-Conservative MP claims anti-abortion movement has influence inside the party | CBC NewsA former Conservative MP who says he left the party because of his "convictions" claims that the number of anti-abortion Conservative members of Parliament is growing, and that anti-abortion activists have influence within the party apparatus.

Someone mentioned they were reluctant to follow me because of the #justice tag in my #introduction post, so I thought I'd clear some things up: I'm #proimmigrant #prochoice #profreedom #prodemocracy #antifascist. I support #lgbtqrights #blm #transrights #humanrights. This is not a complete list, just what comes to mind. I'm an educator that's dedicated to the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution and will always fight for #justice. Hope this helps people understand what I'm about. 😘👋

In another example, I was given a post (example), where it again would have amounted to a personally attack (in my opinion).

The "person" (example) went on about how she was sorry her "friend" learned that their spouse was living them for another woman. The person went on, claiming if she had been more attentive to their husband's needs, perhaps this would not be happening. She continues to talk down her "friend" claiming her education and career should not have been as nearly as important. And goes one detailing what amounts to the stereotypical 1950s, only seen on TV, type of housewife as the idea partner.

By Meta's new standards, this too should be left "as is".
