All pro choice people at their core hold this position But they will spend all day deflecting — what about rape, what about poverty, what about health conditions Bla bla bla This is why when debating pro aborts the only thing you need to ask is: if abortion was allowed for all of these situations would you then be anti abortion And the answer is obviously no. It is not about wether a child in the womb is alive or is a person or a human, it is simply about women having the ability to avoid the consequences of their own actions.

i would support abortion even if i believed life began at conception

Oral arguments today were intriguing. When will the Supreme Court rule on whether Italians are white?

@untimelysalts The ENTIRE human race? What about people in comas? What about infants that can't understand speech? What about the blind? The question is ill-formed. If they said "every human over the age of 6" the result would be very different!

@untimelysalts The question sucks because thought experiments usually assume every agent is a somewhat-rational actor, unless the problem explicitly says otherwise. Saying "the entire human race" is nonsense. Too imprecise.

@baalzamon35 The Prisoner's Dilemma doesn't ask you to consider "what if the other guy is my 6 year old son?" That's out of scope. The problem assumes adult, rational actors.

@baalzamon35 It's essentially a framing problem. Most would agree that, interpreting the problem literally ("everyone on earth"), the right choice is blue. But the problem is framed as a thought experiment, which usually implies everyone involved has agency unless it says otherwise.

The crusher is a great way of illustrating this problem. For the Red Button folks, they see this as an abstract where the crusher kills nobody until/unless they make an informed decision. Obviously, you'd get out of the way right? Hell, everyone should move, the scenario will wait long enough to get everyone out. For the Blue Button folks, they picture a helpless child or maybe even all helpless children trapped and are willing to risk their lives (on paper at least) to hold the crusher up and protect those unable or unwilling to move. Who wouldn't risk their life to save another? Or at least, WANT the courage to do so.

The whole blue and red button drama is basically this summarized If everyone clicked red, nobody would die. Those that click blue have suicidal empathy

@esjesjesj Well yeah, if you are specifically helping black people and not non-black people... that's racist.

@extradeadjcb CA is pretty hard to draw GOP districts in, anyways. You need some hardcore Republican gerrymandering to even approach a proportional Congressional delegation.

@_MayDay35 @greg_price11 1. Zip codes are based on geography, not population 2. AI is a black box, nobody will trust it. That said, there *are* transparent algorithmic approaches to redistricting. They've got their own problems, but it's an oft-discussed solution to gerrymandering.

@greg_price11 It's 2026, why can't we use AI to create districts based on already established boundaries like cities, counties, zip/area code? Zip codes are 9 digits......

The actual argument from Callais' detractors is that black people in America don't truly have equality unless congressional districts can be drawn specifically for the purpose of giving black voters a majority where only a black person can be elected-- something that has neither statutory basis in Section 2 of the VRA, nor is constitutional in any way.
Marc E. Elias@marceelias

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservatives basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and stain on the court.

@AlDefinitely The VRA simultaneously forbids and requires racial gerrymandering. Calling it a 'disastrous misadventure' is quite appropriate.
