    Well, political correctness is defined as, "the avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against." I dunno if refusing to broadcast a children's cartoon with immoral content qualifies as political correctness.

    That's just age indecent/inappropriate content. I would have been banned in Europe as well.

    Do you really wonder? Alabama is a racist evangelical state with a brand new anti abortion bill, which prohibits abortion even after rape or incest and has no additional medical or educational help for single moms after birth.

    The majority of those single moms are poor afro-americans, which are driven in illegal abortions, which increases the danger for death or serious health implications.

    A clever way to save a white majority.

    Those Gilead zealots share more values with ISIS than with Europe.

    Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna in the first place? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're ed. Conservatives don't give a about you until you reach military age. Then they think you're just fine. Just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life... pro-life... These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.

    Huh. There was a terrorist attack in Lyon today and I only found out by accident. Just thought that was weird how it’s becoming a bit less newsworthy.

    As the bakery belongs to a bakery chain, i would guess a try to blackmail money is the more realistic approach.

    Only 36% of women who obtained abortions in Alabama were white: removing access to legal terminations would hardly be a "clever way to save a white majority".

    An interesting piece of bigotry. I like how the more one attempts to protect innocent life, the more you find him comparable to a death cult.

    Its a clever way, as 64 % are poor afroamerican women and illegal abortions have a high chances of causing heavy injuries (bleedings in the uterus of the illegal aborting women, leading to infertility and death).

    Those law show clearly the hypocrisy of evangelicals and right-wingers, as they have not improved pre-natal medical and educational help for the single moms, so poor people will stay poor people and their children will become pregnant too early too, with no chance of ever be more than cheap workforces because of not finished school education.

    I don't think you understand: if 64% of all women who obtain abortions are people of colour, that means that 64% of all terminated fetuses are people of colour too. The prevention of terminations will save twice as many people of colour as it does white people. Your argument that restrictive abortion legislation is "a clever way save a white majority" is asinine in the extreme.

    Those law show clearly the hypocrisy of evangelicals and right-wingers, as they have not improved pre-natal medical and educational help for the single moms, so poor people will stay poor people and their children will become pregnant too early too, with no chance of ever be more than cheap workforces because of not finished school education.

    To think that those afroamerican women will not illegal abort with the help of illegal abortionists, which use such steril things like coat hangers, like they have done in the past worldwide till abortion became legal, is naive and cloistered in the extreme.

    Or they will simply slain their newborn in their desperation like they have done in the glorious victorian, puritan past.

    But interesting, no word about neonatal help.

    Carlin is right about these hypocrisy.

    Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own.

    I mean "victorian" more in a golden age of civil society (18-19. century) sense.

    Goethe has written a book about "Kindsmörderinnen", which become pregnant and slained their kids after birth because they were not married and this was a great taboo (only for the mother).

    Theodor Fontane has critizised morality in the German Empire ("Effi Briest").

    No bash especially on good old UK intended.

    Believe me Clodia being a single mother is not taboo in the African-American community.

    Where did i say this?

    But discussion has ended now its life cycle, as usual right-wing tactics happens: Ignoring all core arguments, shifting goalposts and coming with whataboutism.

    I am amused at how you bring up abortion as example of what happens when abortion is outlawed.

    I'd argue it and the other shows/movies that do political correctness became victims of it the moment their writers/directors/stakeholders decided to put it in there.

    Political propaganda isn't exactly great, but for grown-ups there are ways to do it right (do your message, but don't insult people's intelligence and trust they can make their own opinion). When it comes to children, however, there's no right way. Indoctrinating minors is always nefarious.

    Better take those Alabaman children away from their uber-religious parents, don't want them getting indoctrinated.
