I'm concerned about the student loan relief issue. Imagine taking all those loans, paying them back

yourself, becoming a doctor, and then watching and not being able to do anything with that education you paid for by yourself as your patient is dying, but the "ethics committee" or administration has said "Ah, but she is pregnant, so she's not dying... enough. She'll walk it off, we're sure.

Why bother, right?

Student loans have nothing to do with abortion laws.

If you believe otherwise, please explain.

However, everyone who has replied to your original post has made the same point I did.

There is no connection between the two things. That is simply a fact.

Now, I don't mind if you post such things, but I will feel free to point out the lack of correlation.

Believe it or not, most people think it's a good thing that Biden is helping out people burdened with debt due to a predatory lending system. Those same people recognize that Republicans are responsible for the cruel anti-science abortion laws.

In fact, I know several life-long Republicans who voted for Biden in 2020 because of Trump's anti-science behavior toward Covid. Health care workers have been demonized by Trump and his followers. A lot of them were Republicans.
