How is this different than what the Taliban does in Afghanistan? THIS is the American Taliban in action

@the OP why are you bothered, did you want to wear a hoodie and dress in that school district. As a vet that has served in Afghanistan - I can assure you that you are living on a different planet if you think that USA school district board and the Taliban are similar. When you get over your childish hissy fit please visit Afghanistan for a few months and spend some time with the Taliban so you can get to learn how they operate, then if you're still alive you can come back and appolgise to that school district for trying to compaire them.

The American Taliban in action just banned abortion in a bunch of states. This sucks, but is relatively minor and unsurprising by comparison. Especially given that it's Texas we're talking about.
Will they be as successful as in Afghanistan?

lol. you must support racism since the creator of abortion targets black people. can you describe how abortion ban is weighted to the same level that of a taliban?

"Vote for nutcase traitors who want to destroy democracy"

when ever i hear/read about todays "democracy" from the left. it just screams fascism.

I'm pretty damn sure the OG Taliban don't allow for abortion either.

Fascism is not giving women a choice even if their life is on the line.

people can vote this midterms if they don't like It
Not every position is up for election in the midterms, and we just witnessed unelected conservatives dictate law to us despite being the minority party in the federal government. Voting ain't gonna do much, and I'd love to say otherwise.

let me say it slowly
e a c h s t a t e d e c i d e

not 1 government decide. which is what you want
The states aren't actually deciding though, are they? Just one person or a small group of people. Put it to a ballot measure in each state if you're so confident bans would pass.

what about the babys life?
In the vast majority of cases it's a ball of cells not a baby, the mother's life should definitely be prioritized and her choice respected. Even in cases where her life isn't endangered and a woman wants an abortion simply because giving birth would put her on the streets, that's perfectly valid as well. Labeling yourself "pro-life" doesn't mean you get to ignore the suffering your policies inflict on already-living, thinking, and feeling adults.

You mean that the peoples' representatives who they voted for in past elections passed laws that they want passed during a legislative session and signed by governors who the people also voted for. That's just like the Taliban. LOL!!

http://www.cnn.com/2022/06/24/us/forney-texas-school-district-dress-code-ban/index.html

A North Texas school district has updated its dress code for the upcoming school year to ban hooded clothing as well as dresses and skirts for many of its grade levels.

Vote for nutcase traitors who want to destroy democracy, and this is the kind of nutcase decisions you'll get. That applies double for presidential candidates, who choose supreme court "justices."
Wut? My schools, and school district, which is in a blue city, used to ban certain clothing to wear to school all the time. Then they just made us wear uniforms at the end. lol

Sigh*, so many first world problems without end :rolleyes:
Nah don't kid yourself, we're a third world country now. Won't be long until we're back to burning witches if the Republicans get their way.

For context: even Russia, a dictatorship, has legal abortion.

You think representatives doing what the people voted for them to do is being just like the Taliban. Nobody should take anything you say seriously.

Representatives were not elected to strip away freedoms, and the vast majority of their constituency would not vote for such a ballot measure if given the chance.
