I've been receiving a lot of pushback today from people who think adult sex workers are acceptable collateral if it's necessary to save kids
But it's not necessary at all. (And in fact harms cause) Let's take a look at some of the FBI's individual Operation Cross Country stings...

It seems like every literary or journalistic depiction of motherhood these days is dark af and somehow always elicits ample praise for being brave and truth-telling. It's... bizarre nytimes.com/2023/03/18/boo…
I'm all for society sugarcoating motherhood & parenthood less but... it feels like we've slipped into a weird pathology in certain circles where all people do is warn about how miserable it is & the only accounts accepted as truths are litanies of neverending hate & terror & pain
Related to this, people love to tell expecting or new parents that their lives are going to be miserable. @swin24 & I got sooooo much of this — often from internet strangers, but also friends & acquaintances — when I was pregnant.

Parenting needs better PR

Here's a roundup of various state bills seeking to make changes — some good and some bad — to prostitution laws reason.com/2023/03/17/sta…
In 3 states — New York, Vermont, & Hawaii — lawmakers have introduced measures to decriminalize prostitution between consenting adults reason.com/2023/03/17/sta…
The Hawaii decrim bill (SB 1204) was introduced in January & comes from Sen. Carol Fukunaga, who's also proposed a bill to "study the effects of New Zealand's model of decriminalizing prostitution on sex workers, their clients, and the broader community" capitol.hawaii.gov/session/measur…

Today's #ReasonRoundup highlights a few new findings on abortion.

First: The number of legal abortions in the US dropped significantly after SCOTUS overturned Roe. There were 6% fewer abortions in August 2022 than April—though more from virtual clinics reason.com/2022/10/31/nea…
Support for total bans on abortion is down! PRRI poll finds it dropped from 13% in 2020 to 8% this year, with steepest drop among Republicans
48% of voters in a new ABC-Ipsos poll prefer pro-choice candidates, while just 33% prefer candidates who support strict abortion restrictions (18% don't care)

This is why it’s odd that Musk said he aims to make Twitter more open to free speech AND "the most respected advertising platform in the world" … the two goals are fundamentally at odds
I love people suggesting this will just lead to Twitter keeping the right kind of advertisers. The number of advertisers — esp big ones with deep pockets—who don’t care what kind of content their ads run beside is small to nonexistent…
Corporate advertisers & people who want less content moderation are 2 groups with no overlap

A bill introduced in Michigan this week could mean life in prison for any parent or doctor who "consents to, obtains, or assists with a gender transition procedure for a child" reason.com/2022/10/13/mic…
Meanwhile, in Virginia:
Both sides want to get the cops involved… 🤪🤪🤪

What is so hard about letting parents and doctors decide what’s best for kids in their care?

Facebook is censoring a vintage recipe for homemade baby formula 🙃 reason.com/2022/05/18/vic… Image
Facebook labeled the 1960 recipe for homemade baby formula "false information" because its not up to today's nutritional standards + the recipe hasn't been "evaluated by governing authorities," per the attached fact check
So... it's not actually false information, it's just not government approved information. And that deserves obscuring, per Facebook. Got it. 😒
