A Tennessee Republican hopes to establish an "abortion trafficking" felony for adults who help pregnant minors get an out-of-state abortion without parental permission, an effort reproductive health advocates argue will run afoul of constitutional rights such as interstate travel.

Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, filed House Bill 1895 on Monday. The legislation would establish a new Class C felony, which could carry three to 15 years in prison, for an adult that "recruits, harbors or transports" a pregnant minor for the purposes of receiving an out-of-state abortion or for getting abortion medication.

I see nothing here of soldiers being lied to.

They weren't. Its just like today where they were steeped in propaganda. Thats no excuse. We should have crushed them after the war. Since we didn't we have had to repeatedly deal with the traitors.

Even now we should be crushing Texas instead of playing their games. We are responsible for enabling their abhorrent behavior.

Well, I can't think of a simpler way to explain it.

I'm sorry you can't understand, but You're doing that thing where you start replying to my other comments and wanting to have the same argument multiple times, and I just don't have the motivation or energy to help people who do that.

[-] Restaldt@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Your argument doesn't seem all that separated from the Nazi Nuremberg defense

"I was just following orders"

The world collectively decided that defense would not stand

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Nope.

What I'm doing would be more like trying to understand why Germans fell for propaganda and fought for the nazis.

It doesn't excuse what they did.

But if we don't understand why they did it, how are we supposed to prevent a future generation from falling for the same shit?

Because, again, we just saw a group of conservatives attempt to overthrow the American government because they believed propaganda.

Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, we should try to prevent there from being another "next time"?

You don't think that's something that's important?

You should learn to read, then, like those poor confederates. You'd be better off with some literacy.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Then, by all means, link me to the part where they say they were lied to.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Literally linked and quoted above, and you're too fucking stupid to read. Many were manipulated or were not fighting over slavery specifically. That doesn't magically make the conflict not about slavery, it's just context that goes to explain how the south is so brainwashed about it. It's true, NOT because what the south believes today, but because of what literally happened.

Again, it's just nuanced context. It's not a claim about the war not revolving around slavery. Fucking learn to read.

Nowhere does it say they were lied to champ. Nice alt account btw.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Wrong on both accounts. Hilarious. Keep assuming things. It really proves how well you think through things.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's rich. Seems like you're all over this thread whiteknighting for op(not suspicious at all). And you still haven't shown where it explicitly states that they were lied to.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

ahaha I'm not whiteknighting for anyone, I'm just pushing back against morons who do not process nuance.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You have the information. You choose not to process it. Thank you for failing, it's entertaining.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That's a sure way of saying idk wtf I'm talking about.
