Question: does the "right to choose" apply only for abortion, but not for prostitution, salary below min wage, selling organs and other stuffs?

like

In the opposite direction, you’re free to do lots of things for and to your body. You can starve yourself to death, you can get outrageous plastic surgery, you can get all kinds of piercings and tattoos, you can even donate a kidney. You can remove a set of your own ribs to enhance flexibility. But there are limits, just like pre-Dobbs, there were limits to how late you could have an abortion.

Probably could make the argument for it starting whenever your state cuts off elective abortion. For example if a state is 12 weeks then you could claim them the year you hit twelve weeks. No restriction no credit til birth. Completely banned would probably be conception/whenever positive pregnancy test.

The other question would be under those circumstances if there is a miscarriage or other issue where the child is not born and you claimed a tax credit would you have to pay the money back if you received any?

Tbh I think this would make sense. Lots of costs involved with pre-natal care that it could help offset.

Haven’t heard this one before. Have you tried asking Google?

I don’t understand why we incentivize having children. Why do you get a benefit for having unprotected sex?

Why should one feel pride for sleeping around or being gay?

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?

So I’m watching the Wayen’s brothers and haven’t watched this since I was a kid. Obviously, as a child you don’t fully pick up on the heavy themes interwoven to the show’s slapstick or exaggerated comedic nature. Black exploitation, integrity and whatnot. But I’m happy to say, although it’s hard for younger ppl to fully understand. It sits in the subconscious. And in ways, sometimes small, sometimes big.. it influences for the better. Content makers. Be aware of what your putting into the world.
