So If abortion is legal, women would carry a baby for 9 nine months before terminating the pregnancy?

Canada doesn’t have voter ID. Most of those countries probably don’t.

In Canada you can just bring a buddy that’s like “ya he’s bob” and that’s sufficient.

I had to show id when I voted. They looked at it, got a ruler, crossed my name off a list, and gave me a ballot.
And not one Rhinoceros candidate on the ballot either.

Who would think to say such a thing?
It’s projection. They are trying to legislate against their own creepy fantasies.
Meanwhile, non-weird people don’t need to pull themselves out of that dark abyss because they were never there to begin with.

They were the best. They were going to get rid of unemployment by getting rid of Statistics Canada.

You may have showed your ID but you don’t actually need it. Leafman is right. Someone can vouch for you.

Yes, of course they did and you had it. If you don’t have it, there’s other options. It’s literally right there on elections.ca.

It's a brutal list for a bagload of reasons. There are the straight up inaccuracies (Canada allows voting without ID, so does Germany and a bunch of others there), the inclusion of some non functioning democracies, but even where it's accurate it misses a really key point in there. Sure...Spain, Finland, Argentina, and a bucket more require ID to vote. But those countries all have a unified national ID card that is provided for free to all residents. The US has a fundamentally fucked up voting system with 51 different sets of rules for registration, etc. Pieces of ID that California might accept are not the same Alabama would accept. Basically, in the US, ID requirements are used to make it more difficult for people to register and vote where in the other functioning democracies on that list, it's a super simple top down system where you're automatically registered and a national ID card used for accessing a bunch of other services is required to vote.
Also, it's not lost on me that it's okay to make an argument (however intentionally inaccurate it is) about the need for voter ID because everyone else is doing it....but try to make that same argument about social safety nets, single payer healthcare, etc to a republican voter and the American Exceptionalism card comes out immediately.
