#MPs vote to #decriminalise #abortion in step forward for #ReproductiveRights | #Politics | The Guardian
Finally, #England and #Wales may be edging towards moving abortion laws from the 19th century to the 21st. This should have been done decades ago but at least it’s happening. (For those of you wondering why this excludes other parts of the #UK, namely #Scotland and #NorthernIreland, they have their own legislatures to decide these matters.)

The GuardianIf govt policymakers want their citizens to have more kids
Then:

#ParentalLeave (both parents)

In the #USA #MAGA's desire for more kids seems to have found its policy in "make them poor uneducated and desperate and get rid of #sexEd #abortion #contraception and #womensRights"
I suppose they have a point because neglected unloved kids are future MAGA

Al Jazeera"Eleven Wisconsin lawmakers are named in a manifesto written by a gunman who killed a Democratic Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and shot another lawmaker and his wife, according to Democratic sources. … All are Democrats."

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"What happened in Minnesota was not an isolated incident. It was the predictable result of years of normalized threats against lawmakers, judges, and journalists. It was the endpoint of a politics that trades in dehumanization and labels public servants as enemies of the people. And it was a warning—that even as we mobilize peacefully in defense of democracy, the forces aligned against it are powerful and relentless."
~ Mark Mansour
yesterday was a turning point for many reasons
America’s Fractured Politics"The suspect in these shootings was an anti-abortion, Trump-supporting, evangelical Republican who also had eleven other Democratic officials on a list of intended targets.
It is the kind of heinous violation of humanity that should have generated bipartisan outrage and condemnation; an act of violence that disgusted all decent human beings.
The problem is, the MAGA movement is inherently indecent."

Minnesota state Rep.
The Beautiful Mess by John Pavlovitz"This was a politically motivated assassination attempt. It doesn’t get more direct than showing up at officials’ homes in disguise with a hit list. And yet we’re still waiting for this act of violence to be labeled by the media as 'domestic terrorism' or 'right-wing extremism.' If the political roles were reversed, it would already be the frontpage headline."
"What did indicate his political leanings though was a manifesto in Boltler’s vehicle that named multiple Democratic leaders along with several abortion providers as targets. There were also stacks of handwritten flyers that said simply 'No Kings.'”
"Boetler then drove to the home of former State House Speaker Melissa Hortman, where he shot her, her husband, and their dog. Only the dog survived. ...
Boetler previously served on Governor Tim Walz’s Workforce Development Board, though bipartisan appointments to advisory boards like that are standard and not indicative of political loyalty or extremism."
"Early yesterday morning, Vance Boetler - a registered Republican since 2004 - posed as a police officer and arrived at the home of State Senator John Hoffman in a fake squad car with police lights. He shot both Hoffman and his wife leaving them both in critical condition."

How one Trump-fueled Republican became a murderer
The Feed"According to public records and archived websites reviewed by WIRED, the suspect served for a time as the president of Revoformation Ministries. A version of the ministry’s website captured in 2011 carries a biography in which he is said to have been ordained in 1993."
"The 57-year-old, who has been identified as the suspected shooter by law enforcement, runs an armed security service with his wife, and has been affiliated with at least one evangelical organization, a ministry he has also run with his wife, according to a tax filing reviewed by WIRED. (His wife could not be immediately reached for comment.)"

"Right-wing media outlets are trying to manufacture a meaningful connection between the alleged gunman who killed Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman on Saturday and the state's Democratic governor, Tim Walz. They are wrong."
~ Kalli Joy Gray
As Gray notes, even while it tries to push the false narrative of Boelter's connection to Walz, New York Post says, Boelter 'last registered to vote in 2004, as a Republican.'"
