Yes, only those with anecdotal experience can comment on things, and we should ignore all data in favor of anecdotal experiences.

I’m a troll because I think this is about abortion and not poverty/saving money? I challenge you to find one post where I said I support this. But I guess these days if you don’t 100% subscribe to the orthodoxy you’re a troll.

Assuming, arguendo, that they are the best, cleanest, most convenient Medicaid provider in the state, they still only serve a trivial number of Texas Medicaid recipients. Their absence really can’t substantially affect wait times.

Medicaid spending in Texas is 28 billion. This article says 3.1 million was going to Planned Parenthood. Thus, I can’t believe they are that major of a provider, such that’d you’d see a big difference in wait times. Nor do I believe they are the only competent physicians that take Medicaid in Texas.

Logical Fallacy:

So planned parenthood is the only Medicaid provider in Texas?

Maybe I’m missing something, but how does defunding planned parenthood prevent them from going to the doctor? There are many many other mediaicd providers.

Why do you think this is about money and not ideology re abortions? As you say, abortions make the most financial sense.

I don’t think this is about poverty. As I understand it, they aren’t cutting off Medicaid, they are cutting off one particular provider - likely for ideological reasons. Medicaid recipients can still get cancer screenings from other health care providers.

Plying devils advocate, there is a way to reconcile the two though. E.g., I know the system is flawed because I’m able to abuse it. Or, if the government is going to run the program despite my objection, I might as well take advantage of it.

I sure am glad my tax dollars enable her to sit at home, read conspiracy websites, and harass strangers.

No, allegations of anything are enough to to fire someone, kick them out of school, put them in jail, castrate them, and execute them. Stop being an MRA.

In terms of crazy, you’ve just put most Republicans to shame.

Or they believe Trump is better for the country. You may not agree with them, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they “don’t care”

Sexual harassment has a specific legal meaning. If a person asks a coworker out, once, it may be an unwanted sexual advance but probably wouldn’t be harassment unless repeated (to create a hostile environment) or if the person made a benefit contingent upon acceptance (quid pro quo).

To be fair, the United States interferes in elections all the time. And less of the email-hacking-maybe-switch some-swing-voters kind and more of the assasinate-democratically-elected-leader kind.

Are you sure he’s not mentally ill, or do you not care?

Absolutely. I find right-wing sites are more likely to outright lie, while left wing sites simply omit/ignore facts that don’t fit their narrative.

Yes

When people started getting their news from websites that only support one viewpoint and silence all others. So, within the last several years.
