Nicely done — I voted today too.
I look forward to pissing into the wind as well.
This HAS to be all kinds of illegal..
With the rampant voter suppression, the human trafficking, and now this, he would probably be looking at several decades of jail time if the law applied to rich and powerful Republicans.
Wasn't the US Constitution's 4th amendment the basis for Roe vs Wade? It would be fitting for the Florida 4th amendment to enshrine abortion access in their state.
It's not the 4th amendment to the Florida constitution. It's in slot #4 on the ballot.
I will never understand how a doctor is against abortion rights.
A doctor is in a prime position to understand that many times symptoms of one patient can be disease /problem /ailment X and in the next patient it can be disease /problem /ailment y.
A doctor has the training to understand that many times what they are doing is just educated guess work. So how are they going to have a definitive line of when a pregnant lady is at risk during pregnancy and know exactly when an abortion is needed?
It's like they actually failed in college at understanding how their job even works, but somehow passed because they got enough points in other areas.
As someone managing some chronic illness who has interacted with many doctors and specialists in the last several years... it's a mistake to put Drs on some kind of "smart person" pedestal. They're just a profession like any other - some are amazing, some good, most are idiots without much knowledge outside their narrowly defined practice.
If you think of the way you progressed through your tertiary studies, you just do it one exam or assessment at a time. None are particularly "hard" or require amazing IQ or reasoning skills, it's just time and effort.
The main difference between a pharmacist and a GP is that the former is done in 3 years while a GP takes 9. The extra 6 years doesn't make them smarter or better thinkers, they just broaden the things that they know.
Another aspect is that most people can't afford to spend a decade studying or doing placements etcetera.
So yeah, the opinion of a Dr is only helpful in their specific field. Your GP will be great at prescribing antibiotics, but doesn't know anything about diet.
I'm going to catch flak for this, but my opinion of general doctors is basically the welcome to Walmart greeters.
Doctor - what's your complaint?
Patient - my heart hurts (or whatever hurts)
Doctor - down the hall to the left, take the elevator up to 4th. There's a specialist that can see you there. Don't go down, or you'll be in urology.
Yeah that's pretty much my view.
My point though, is that most people conflate "doctor" with "smart person", but that's a false association.
Doctors are just people who studied a lot longer, and that doesn't make them smart, nor more credible in any meaningful way.
I can understand that a doctor might personally be against termination of a pregnancy when it isn’t medically necessary. I don’t agree, but I can understand being against it.
But even if you’re a doctor that feels that way, do you really want the state second guessing your decision if you performed an emergency abortion that was medically necessary?
Even a pro-life doctor should be 100% against the state getting involved in a patient’s medical decisions.
Maybe a doctor in theology?
\s
Same way the physician governor of Hawaii declared Joe Biden mentally fit. They lie for reasons that benefit themselves.
When will fools like this realize the fundanentals of american beliefs doesn't favor one religion over another, even if you don't practice at all? Using religion as a base is just so disengenuous to the people.
why does it need to be atheists who want women's rights
Because they send fetuses to hell I guess
Yeah but atheist hell is like the best hell. We just wait around for some kid to pull out a ouija board and start trolling the shit out of him.
Makes sense why DeSantis would be against the fourth, im sure he would love to commit unreasonable searches and seizures against anyone who disagrees with him and furthermore against every anti-fascist (for a group claiming to love the constitution they do seem to despise the bill of rights).
