This is absurd. What the amendment would actually do is ban abortion and youth gender-affirming care. Are you getting that⦠at all from this ballot language? missouriindependent.com/2025/10/07/m...

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaskaβs second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.
Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.
This is the lib/left-coded version of demanding an LLM say the n-word if it'd prevent a bomb from going off. I'm not arguing there's a directly harmed party, but it's negotiating the bounds of performing acts of domination purely for the thrill
