You laugh but it's a fact that planned parenthood targets "urban" areas intentionally which would explain why blacks and hispanics have a disproportionately high abortion rate compared to whites. Fun fact more black babies are aborted in NYC than are born. Damn those racist conservatives!

You are correct: I agree both "big money" and corruption in politics are major problems. However, notice that neither side has done much about them despite complaints about if for decades. The Citizens United ruling just made a bad situation worse. I don't blame SCOTUS since they only rule on the law. It's up to Congress to write the law that is Constitutionally compliant. They haven't and don't appear to be very interested in doing so.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
That is why they need to be systematically replaced with pro- Anti-Corruption Act Congress people.

If that's HR 1, then the Democrats will have to flip the Senate to get it passed.

Abortion rates among blacks and hispanics has been dropping, as people like Planned Parenthood make more birth control available. It has been barely dropping among whites, and has been skyrocketing among rural uneducated whites (trump's base) as birth control gets harder to get in red counties.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
No, it's not HR 1. It is the Anti-Corruption Act.. The future of government without corrupt big money influence.
It is not even at the federal level yet.
There's no way this Congress is taking a stand against corruption.
Too many of them owe their seats to big money campaign finance.
This has to start at the local level.
First pass it in cities towns counties, then states. Then send anti-corruption Congress people to DC. Then get enough of them and you can try to pass it at the federal level.
What does the Anti-Corruption Act. do?
Cracks down on dirty lobbying tricks, shuts the lobbying revolving door which allows Congress people to move directly into lobbying, redefines lobbying to include the previously unregistered lobbyists as lobbyists, prevents Congress people from fund-raising during Congressional working hours, forces the disclosure of all political money, ends secret PAC donors, ends gerrymandering, opens all primaries to all voters, installs Ranked Choice Voting, installs automatic voter registration, installs mail-in voting for all who want it, 18 year term limits max, Changes election funding so each voter designates a portion of government funding to candidates of choice, cracks down on PAC interaction with campaigns, and overhauls the FEC to enforce all of these new requirements.
Not everybody agrees with every part of it, but there is something for everyone, and it is a fair compromise to ensure a healthy Democracy. And we need to do that.
