The US already had a ban against paying for international abortions. This is a ban of funding organisations that even talk about abortions, even if the US funding isn't related to abortions. (I also disagree with your point from an eth

I was responding specifically to what you quoted, and didn't commit to memory your parent's comment - which I guess has now removed the mention of hallucinogens. (I do remember seeing "LSD" when skim-reading, so not ques

Depression isn't cancer. That's not to be confused with making light of it, or saying it isn't an illness. "Experimenting" won't be easy/doable for everyone suffering from depression, and for many people t

Seems fairly easy: When the customer swipes to end, it notifies the driver. If the driver agrees, the ride ends there. If the driver doesn't agree, he tells the customer to undo the swipe or they will stop driving and the customer can

There doesn't need to be a middle ground, because the logic of abandoning the war on drugs is that it actually lowers drug use more effectively by providing healthcare rather than punishment. This policy reform and lowering opiate addi
