Trumps State visit- Monday 3rd June

It’s why I buy organic meat where possible. No antibiotics used.

As for EU laws, isn’t it down to individual member states to enforce and regulate them? It was when I worked on environmental issues around waste and recycling.

I'm pro-choice and think the new legislation in certain states is appalling.  However it's not a gender issue as far as I can see.  The 'men' passing this legislation (nothing stopping women getting more involved in government) are doing so to protect the lives of unborn children- probably for dunderheaded religious reasons- not to suppress the rights of women.  If men could bear children, they'd also be banned from having abortions.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these decisions made at State level?  If so what's the use of blaming Trump?

Wouldn't have happened with a balanced Supreme Court. Trump has now turned SCOTUS ultraconservative with the seat they stole from the last administration and the one vacated and filled during this administration. It was always about him turning SCOTUS for the evangelicals, the Kochs, the Mercers et al.

Not sure how you decided that im making fun of the way they are dressed or their freedom of expression or their rights? Youre making wild accusations simply because i posted pics of them being interviewed.

Have you phoned up Sky news to complain and throw your wild guesses at them too?

True.  Although I still think its a tenuous link to go from that to "Trump is afraid of strong women" as implied by that cringeworthy virtue-signaller Sadiq Khan (not that Trump's infantile twitter response to the Major is any less embarrassing).

So why did you post that video of those two particular people?  

You wrote nothing to explain what your reasoning was, leaving the rest of us to totally guess your motives. Then when I question those motives, you get your knickers in a twist.

In case you hadn't realised, it's pretty poor etiquette to post pictures/links/text with little or no added context of your own view or reasoning for doing so.

So I'll wait for your explanation...

The fact that only one gender can give birth makes it a gender issue, whether you accept that or not.

Ultra-conservative religious views tend to suppress women's rights over those of men, no matter which religion.

Trump appears to be angling towards supporting the moves being made by certain states and is not doing much to hide the fact with his supreme court appointments.

robel

I said that those two were protesting Trump, you decided to add your own interpretation...please dont lecture me on etiquette when you always resort to snide remarks aimed at those posting

Not a gender issue? For something that solely impacts women? And using "If men could bear children" as a reason for this? Surely you have to admit that's a little tenuous?
