Why did you group all these countries together into one topic?
This tiny little place, San Marino, is heading to the polls this Sunday to decide if they’re finally going to allow abortion in their mostly Catholic nation.
Pro-choice activists are basically hoping they can bring this scenic republic, tucked away in the mountains of central Italy, more in line with the rest of Europe by scrapping their total ban on the procedure. But man, the Catholic Church holds a massive amount of sway there, and Pope Francis just doubled down last week calling abortion murder.
Along with places like Malta, Andorra, and Vatican City, San Marino is one of the last holdouts in Europe where abortion is completely illegal—even if it's due to rape, incest, fetal abnormalities, or if the mother's life is at risk. This whole referendum was kicked off by the Women's Union of San Marino (UDS), and about 35,411 people have a say, though a third of them actually live abroad.
If they legalize it, it would be a massive shift for San Marino, since the ban has been around since 1865. It was reinforced by the fascist regime in the early 20th century and then locked back in again in 1974.
Data from Italy shows that not many women from San Marino are actually crossing the border to get the procedure done.

bluemason3 said:I honestly don't know how anyone manages to moderate this entire collection of anti-universe paranoid delusions and hyper-frustrated people lacking basic emotional regulation without a clone. It makes total sense why they use a moderator buffer 🤷
I'm really not sure why Doduse is even allowed to post here, but hey, I guess they’re being pretty liberal over there 😳
silverpuma61 said:Is it even worth mentioning that the site admins actually have the right to do that?
It was explicitly stated and explained that moderators have the discretionary power to go back and dig through old posts—not just from yesterday or last week, but indefinitely—to slap you with a penalty for something you wrote a year ago, claiming they somehow "missed" it.
Pure class, isn't it? 🤣
The US Government is probably going to adopt you as their official subreddit. 😍
wanderingbadger44 said:Honestly, I wouldn’t want to wear a bra either; they just chafe and feel so restrictive.
That’s exactly the point: nobody actually enjoys wearing a mask. People have complied simply because they’re rational and understand how rules work, but that doesn't mean they actually like it.
I find it absolutely hilarious how the anti-mask crowd acts like they’re some kind of special, delicate little flowers just because they feel more comfortable without one.
Susan James said:Correction.
They lose the right to attend regular classes. They can still finish up via correspondence courses.

Obviously, a child's age has nothing to do with the legal requirement to attend Elementary School. By your logic, every single student repeating a grade would be kicked out of school the second they turned 15.
Austin Collins7 said:I honestly didn't know, since I don't really follow the regulars here; I have much more important things to deal with in my actual life, so I only drop by when I've got nothing better to do.
But if you thought you sounded like some frustrated professor, well, you definitely did.

mellownomad7 said:If a kid's stuck in quarantine or whatever other excuse they pull, the school is legally required to provide... blah blah blah.
It’s all laid out on paper, but good luck actually making it work in the real world.

Even so, I graduated with top marks, went through various schools and universities, and I don't feel even remotely deprived in terms of general knowledge. Quite the opposite, actually.
So yes, allow me to suggest that cramming massive amounts of material into students and constantly testing them on such an overwhelming curriculum is, indeed, exploitation—especially for those younger kids in Elementary School.
In our local school district, children aren't usually suffering from trauma caused by the Corona pandemic; rather, they are traumatized by this "school for life" concept, the latest invention of our educational system.
They are constantly falling ill, vomiting, and so on.
The teachers claim it's just a virus.
The parents say it's school-induced stress and an overly demanding curriculum.
Oh, there are solutions, believe me. But I won't go too far off-topic; there's no point in rambling here.

urbantinker8 said:So, I guess Gaga was wondering about this.🤦🤦
I guess he was lucky enough to have those decent performances before starting elementary school, which might just be enough to keep him on track for the entire school year, maybe.🙂
