A lot of the big tech companies did something similar.

Right. So far (and I'll give props to Musk if he's behind the Tesla decision)...

Living in a Red state is the same thing.
I was going to add that but then decided not to, felt a little whataboutism for this occasion.

Yes, many gaming companies ( with the exception of course EA ) are doing the same

I don't have a choice, as I haven't taken a look at potential candidates, apart from the people who ran in the primary last time and a couple others like Connecticut senator Chris Murphy. I'll vote for whomever is nominated, even if I think there are better alternatives. What I want is for the Democrats to choose someone I and others will be excited to vote for.
Whoa, I’m shocked they’d get into this.

As I've said though, the problem the democratic party always faces, is that the choice that excites you will turn off many others. The democratic party hasn't completely sold it's soul for victory at any cost. That's the advantage one has when fighting an opponent who clings to the rules, if you don't think the rules apply to yourself you'll do whatever it takes to win & stay the winner.

And that's the problem. The establishment goes out of its way to crush anybody voters have been or might be excited to vote for. Nobody is going to get excited to vote for centrist mediocrity. That's what we have now and look how that's turning out. But I have faith in establishment Democrats' ability to continue to map out their own doom. I don't know who is more mediocre than Biden but I'm sure they'll find them and force them to the front of the queue, a candidate who will only be appealing to middle-aged white men who aren't racist.

Personally, I think that this thread title may benefit from an editorial tweak, one which would reflect depressing reality more readily.

Agreed. As the OP I went to edit it but I'm not able to.

One thing, even though conservatives & some religious got their way, they will still have quite a bit to wail about after this
There's a whole lot of people & businesses NOT on the same page as conservatives. Will the conservatives be as understanding as they demand others to be of their views?

Perhaps you might let the mods know that an amendment might be in order, not least so that the title reflects (deeply depressing) reality.

What a deeply depressing day.
This is about punishment and control, punishment of women for thinking that they could have a sex life determined by their own desires, preferences and needs, risk sex without consequences (as men have been able to do since the dawn of recorded time), and control of women for daring to dream that biology is not destiny, and that autonomy, independence and being able to exercise choice are possible inn life without being answerable to any man.
I suspect that this judgment is also be a part of this egregious mindset to compel white women (above all, poor white women) to carry pregnancies to term.
We hear all of this wittering on about demographics and declining numbers.
That this will serve to hurt women of colour (especially poor women of colour) even more than white women is simply the sadistic icing and cherry on that particular cake.
Today incontestably proves to me that rights of some groups, - for now, above all, women, white women, black women, brown women, poor women, in the United States are not inalienable but are conditional; and conditional rights can be withdrawn at will, - for they are conditional, not absolute - for they depend on the benevolence, and goodwill, of male legislators (and their fanatical supporters) rather than rights based on the rule of law, rights that citizens might expect to hold by virtue of their shared humanity.
Of course, reproductive rights - and here, I am referring to access to safe, affordable reliable birth control, in other words, contraception - will - inevitably - now be viewed as a target, ripe for repeal. As will the hard-won rights of gay men (and women).

This decision has killed my ability to suggest any creative title changes. I'm open to whatever.
Meanwhile in Ohio...

This fucking guy. He's clearly just trying to make himself look good by pretending to care. He's clearly dug in to pro-life, he doesn't give a shit what the other side has to say.

We can rename it to something like "Roe vs. Wade overturned" (or whatever you like) or we can create a new thread and move any posts started today into it, or we can leave as is. It's your thread and your call.
