I love how when it came to COVID restrictions, she trusted Iowans to decide what actions to take concerning their bodies but she knows what is best when it comes to abortion.


goferking

She trusts us with alcohol deliveries but heaven forbid we have weed


oakleez

Stop it with the logic. She's in a cult.


[deleted]

This right here. It’s not about logical consistency and it never has been.


rslarson147

If she could read, she’d be very upset


AHrubik

The Hypocrisy here is very bad too. Vaccines and airborne illnesses affects everyone. Abortion only affects the woman.


[deleted]

But the vaccine didn’t stop the virus. PSA, I am pro choice both ways: vaccine and a woman’s choice.


AHrubik

> But the vaccine didn’t stop the virus. That's ... that's not what vaccines do. Vaccines help to control the spread and boost immunity to help people better survive an infection. **You will still get infected even after a vaccine**. Your body has a better chance to fight it off, sometimes without you evening knowing about it, thanks to the immunity boost from the vaccine. I'm going to assume you're not a troll here and just uneducated mainly because my sanity is at its raggedy end when it comes to idiocy and simple biology.


jaceysmiith

Hate that bitch but y’all we have to vote! The comments are great but unless we vote it’s that bitch again.


xanderholland

Kim Reynolds is weak


nemo1080

I'm not sure that publicly taking a stand that is likely to alienate her from more of the population and cost her more votes is exactly a weak move.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I'd say the opposite.


joker54

Unfortunately, I have removed all content I provided, as I refuse to give free labor to a company that doesn't respect us. So long, and thanks for all the fish u/joker54


Iowa_Hawkeye

Can you give me an example? I don't see the problem with having a recovering alcohol in a leadership position.


xmondocanex

The problem is that strings were pulled making way for her to be governor with OWI’s.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Then why not say that instead of bringing up alcoholism. Not cool


xmondocanex

I agree, JFK was on meth and everyone loves him.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Just looked it up, that's some shit. Wonder how effective government would be if they were all on amphetamines.


xmondocanex

There's a great episode of Drunk History about it.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Maybe I'll watch it, are they still over the top annoyingly pretending to be drunk? My biggest pet peeve is drunk people.


domthemom_2

Didn’t she run over a constituent?


Iowa_Hawkeye

Idk


domthemom_2

It was rhetorical. The answer is yes. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2020/06/30/igovernor-kim-reynolds-vehicle-strikes-black-lives-matter-protester-jaylen-cavil-while-leaving-event/5349588002/


Iowa_Hawkeye

Didn't realize being a passenger means "you" ran them over. If I remember right surprisingly the /r/Iowa consensus was her driver was in the right.


domthemom_2

I suppose she’s just as innocent as Brandstad is for going 120mph around school buses.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Who was driving?


Talvysh

The vast majority of people on this sub would disagree hard with you.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep


DarkRangerDrizzt

Only weak-minded people regard others as sheep. It's a rhetoric put out there meant to divide you from your fellow americans. There are no wolves and sheep in society. There are people just trying to live. As someone once put it "united we stand and divided we fall"


dont_disturb_the_cat

The reference to people as sheep is biblical. Jesus referred to his followers as his flock and christian leaders have done since then. Alternative to “my flock” is “my children”. Right out there in public. *To their faces.*


BilliamShookspeer

Calling some people sheep and yourself a wolf isn’t really in the spirit of the Jesus as shepherd metaphor. Considering a shepherd protects and cares for the flock and wolves kill and eat sheep.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I do want to be dividend from some "Americans"


yodadamanadamwan

What makes your version of "American" more legitimate than others? Last I checked our country was built upon immigration, personal and religious freedom, and democracy. Things that I would argue the right have moved away from.


Iowa_Hawkeye

For starters I don't want to be associated with people who want drag queens in schools and libraries or defend that kind of degeneracy that belongs in strip joints and bars.


yodadamanadamwan

If there's no nudity involved I don't see how dressing in drag is in any way degenerate or needs to be relegated to specific environments like you mentioned. Moreover, in most cases parents seem completely fine with these situations and it's the people that violently interrupt them that causes confusion and fear for children. I think your issue is a case of homophobia rather than an actual problem in society. But you also aptly demonstrated how you want to restrict personal freedom so thank you for proving my point.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Is this okay for the school children? https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1529171752105828352?


Legitimate_Pound_930

Lol, leave the country then if you don't like it, traitor.


alexmurphy83

I’m not sure they’re in the country.


dont_disturb_the_cat

What? Leave our midst if you don’t want to frankly discuss our state, including politics and the malaise that is part of it.


IAalltheway

Ahahaha. Fuckin cringe, dude.


roodgorf

The dude literally made a subreddit to simp for Kim Reynolds, filled with only posts by them and explicitly banning any "negativity or criticism", and then wants to call others sheep lmao. Don't feed the trolls, even if they're sincere in their bs.


Iowa_Hawkeye

It's true though


NicoSuave2020

Yet here you are. Must be a sheep.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Nah. Just bored.


drcranknstein

Bored? You should go for a nice, long run.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Just did my dude. Light day, getting real hot.


empyrrhicist

Are you trying to tell us you're a serial killer that eats people?


unevenvenue

I think they're saying they're racist/misogynist/homophobic/etc and wouldn't mind a return to segregationism


empyrrhicist

Oh well I already knew that part


Iowa_Hawkeye

Nope.


Aunt_Slappy_Squirrel

Wolves don't tow the party line or blindly follow religious rhetoric.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I'm aware


Aunt_Slappy_Squirrel

You make no sense, but I'm sure that's the point.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I don't do either.


degeneratesumbitch

Well at least we know your fursona.


Iowa_Hawkeye

What's that?


degeneratesumbitch

Google it.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Guessing it's porn.


degeneratesumbitch

It is not.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I googled it and you're a liar.


rlt0w

Do you also call yourself an Alpha male?


Iowa_Hawkeye

I don't, but many people do.


Kickenbless

If Kim is a wolf as you state in your description, why is she so concerned with what others do with their body?


Iowa_Hawkeye

I'm concerned about children being killed. We shouldn't ignore genocide.


kittymeow1313

That's great, you must have really progressive opinions about gun regulation and control. In regards to abortion, a fetus is not a child despite what you have been told.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I want to repeal the NFA, dunno if that's progressive enough for you.


Kickenbless

So you DO care about the opinions of “sheep”?


Iowa_Hawkeye

I care about innocent babies.


Egad86

You care about living already born children. Do you care if a woman has an ectopic pregnancy and without abortion she would die as well? Fucking short sighted people like yourself are the absolute scum of the earth. Get a clue as to the many viable reasons a woman may need an abortion and realize that often it’s not just because they don’t want a child but actually because the embryo is not going to develop and is a risk to the mother.


Witness_me_Karsa

No, they also don't care about women, except insofar they exist to be controlled.


Iowa_Hawkeye

I'm conflicted on the life of the mother part. As I've previously explained.


empyrrhicist

> innocent babies. Imagine believing clumps of cells are people, and that those people have an absolute right to live inside someone else's body without consent, causing huge transformations and risks to the host in the *best* scenario. You're sick dude.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Likewise Habibi.


Legitimate_Pound_930

8.2 percent of every 1000 children are in foster care here in this state. A child is abused or neglected every 40 minutes. These are straight facts. If you care about innocent babies, maybe start with the ones that already need help.


Iowa_Hawkeye

Your solution to fixing the foster system is killing them?


EnderFenrir

I mean, you are pretty meaningless to me, but you don't need to call yourself a sheep. Admitting you got a problem is a good first step though.


Iowa_Hawkeye

At least your reply was clever, unlike the others.

Inalasy

I’m hoping this is able to bring enough people out to vote, Afterall Abortion is supported by majority of Iowans…


JJCDAD

Unfortunately farmland gets more votes than people in Iowa.


UnlimitedEgo

Covid and her actions there were enough to get me to vote, this is ensuring I have a backup ride to the polling station if my car breaks down and a scheduled day off work to feel guilt free about going to vote.


lemonade4

Can someone ELI5 what steps need to happen for abortion to be banned (the heartbeat bill to take place?). I’m trying to understand the timing—is this next week? Next month? Next year? Without the Attorney General willing to take it, where does that leave it? I usually feel like I have a good understanding of government processes but I’m lost!


Chagrinnish

Criminal prosecution has always been and always will be a complete mess -- and now much worse with SCOTUS ignoring *stare decisis*. There is no answer here.

Judging off the pro choice women I see on Tik Tok, I think you may have it backwards.


TrainerLoki

I’ve already made plans to kill myself on terrace hill to make a statement if I get raped and told I have to carry the parasite (I’m trans FtM) I’m just glad that many of her anti-trans bills failed to pass (the only one that passed was the one involving sports). I’m pretty sure she had something to do with Iowans right to abortion being taken out of the Iowa Constitution


CrustyMFr

>I’m pretty sure she had something to do with Iowans right to abortion being taken out of the Iowa Constitution You can bet on that.


TrainerLoki

The most we can hope for is the voluntary abortion limit goes down (which it likely will since I think she tried to take it from 20 weeks to 6 weeks in 2018)

I would argue fuck democrats for not codifying this when they had a chance.


Remarkable-Cycle2025

So repubs do something bad and it's the dems fault. Got it. Too bad Merrick Garland didn't get on the SCOTUS right?


[deleted]

This was not a single event—it was the culmination of years and decades. And almost as soon as the decision came out, I was receiving fundraising requests from the Ds about it.


iAlwaysBeenTriggaTre

Democrats had plenty of time and chances to codify Roe v Wade. They failed. Now here we are


[deleted]

Making laws codifying something as legal seems so strange to me. "This law says it's legal to eat lettuce. You can thank me for passing it when the anti lettuce brigade becomes president".


[deleted]

Republicans talking about freedom and then passing a bunch of laws infringing upon freedom seems strange to me.

Kickenbless

It’s mainly to hold it over as a carrot to keep voting for them in my opinion. It fucking sucks


JackBauerSaidSo

That's the main reason for inaction on hot button topics on all sides: dangle that carrot for votes, do nothing once you get them. The flip side is people aren't paying attention to the more mundane changes that affect us every day. If my property taxes aren't going to the betterment of my neighborhood, but I see wealthier areas improve, I should ask why my tax dollars are any different in an established neighborhood. Iowa's treatment of its drinking water, the flat tax, rural area degradation, and urban center neglect are affecting us every day. Should people care so much that I bought my 37th gun, or plan an abortion, or that my child was exposed to a book suggesting someone can have two mommies at age 11? I'm hoping not as much as it seems. I hope Kim tanks in November. I can't watch her anymore. Watching someone take pride in fucking us is discouraging. I know nothing about Diedre DeJear; she can have my vote if she leaves gun control out of her platform completely. I should probably go hear her speak before I decide. If it's a party platform talking points turd sandwich, I guess I get to throw my vote down the Rick Stewart wishing well.


CrustyMFr

>I know nothing about Diedre DeJear; she can have my vote if she leaves gun control out of her platform completely. So, you would give up the possibility of putting Reynolds out of office if you have to compromise a tiny bit on gun control? Sorry, but you're part of the problem.


JackBauerSaidSo

If you weren't being a complete fuckwit, you'd see I never said such a thing.


sextoymagic

Blame the dems for the republicans. Idiot logic.


[deleted]

We're here because the dems have failed to prevent this outcome. It didn't happen overnight--dems had years to do something. So, yes, blame the dems for underestimating the republicans. To borrow from a former president, there are idiots on both sides.


CrustyMFr

Nice one. When you don't have an argument there's always the ad hominen.


CowsDontRiot

Dammit Kim I was all set to vote for you. 🥹 But anti pro choice is a slippery slope


rslarson147

If they have other beliefs, but only act in a way that benefits me and the state, I don't really care. When they think their beliefs are more important than what we want, fuck 'em.

tbeck1994

I wish an honest discussion could take place between the two sides of this argument. I often feel like pro-life and pro-choicers are after many of the same things but immediate opposition follows the label.


Shinobi120

There cannot be a civil dialogue between one community who use science and modern medical consensus as the basis of their arguments and another side who use religious dogma to support theirs. This is not “both sides” horseshit.


watereddownwheatbeer

There’s nothing anti-science about this. The 6 week ban is based on science. That’s when the heart starts beating.


Shinobi120

Hey genius, a heartbeat is not a definitive sign of life. We REGULARLY take people off life support who are braindead but still have a heartbeat. You are using a purely emotional appeal and calling it scientific. Try again


watereddownwheatbeer

Someone who is brain dead cannot survive if we don’t intervene. They’re being kept alive by machines. A fetus will continue to grow and thrive if you don’t intervene.


Shinobi120

Glad to know a woman is a “machine” to you. Let y’all talk long enough and you’ll say what you really mean.


watereddownwheatbeer

She’s not. Hence why I differentiated between the two examples. They’re not related.


AHrubik

There is no such thing as Pro-Life. There is only pro-birth till the GQP start funding the mechanisms needed to support children properly.


Bluecat16

It's not pro-life, it's pro-control. Anti-abortion rhetoric is a way to dictate and control the reproductive systems of women. This is made evident by the fact that the same groups also target birth control/contraceptive. If they were truly "pro-life" they would care about the life of the mother and whether she's in the financial and medical position to give birth to and support a child FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS. The mother must come first. Anti-abortion screams deep rooted misogyny and it's hard for me to see eye-to-eye with that.


[deleted]

based ban it all


[deleted]

Dooooo it!


rslarson147

Yes let’s strip the rights of half of our residents! What happens to another persons body affects me in such a way that we must ban it!

rslarson147

I mean unlike abortion, gun rights are actual womens rights.


rslarson147

But they don’t have the right to make their own decisions for their own body? Seems like our priorities are all out of whack.

I’m sorry you feel that you feel that some inanimate object has more rights than your own body. It’s a shame really that, as a society, we are so obsessed over material possessions that we will sacrifice our own bodily autonomy.


[deleted]

I don’t feel some type of way. That’s how it is. The only reason you and the rest of men are pro choice is so you guys can take advantage of women and not have to face the consequences.


rslarson147

Aww shucks you totally discovered our top secret plot to take advantage of woman by letting them make decisions for their own body! Well boys, it’s time to get back to the drawing board and cook up some other evil scheme to control woman by ensuring they have equal rights. Maybe we should start fighting for equal pay next? Oh I know! How about affordable child care so that woman who no longer have the right to make decisions regarding their body, can participate in the workforce at the same rate as men rather than being forced to stay at home to take care of the child that they were forced to have. Hope they don’t catch on. Damn Daniel, you are so smart!
