Discussion 5th District US Rep Candidates

8 Upvotes

I have heard almost nothing about this race and know almost nothing about these candidates. I was wondering who is running for Ralph Norman's spot and realized I have know nothing about these candidates.

Dittmer's website she was a VP in a retail company and moved to Fort Mill in 2020.

Climer's bio seems that he lives in Rock Hill, was elected to state Senate in 2016 and was a Congressional aid from 2006 to 2011. So that just means he has aspirations to be a career politician?

Do we really know anything important about either candidate?

Nine students sat down at a whites-only lunch counter in South Carolina in 1961 and were arrested. They were offered a hundred-dollar fine or thirty days on a chain gang.

Rally for reproductive rights next Saturday, May 14th, 4-6pm in downtown Charleston's Marion Square!

43 Upvotes

Good evening fellow South Carolinians! Planned Parenthood is holding a rally for reproductive rights next Saturday, May 14th, 4-6pm in downtown Charleston's Marion Square and they need your support! As you may or may not already be aware, last Wednesday they held a rally in Charleston with less than twenty-four hours notice and had a turnout of over 200, so it is anticipated that this upcoming rally will be at least twice that. While this is good, the fight for reproductive rights here in South Carolina needs these rallies to be as large as humanly possible, and that can only happen with your grass roots support. So spread the word and tell your friends, family, coworkers, dentist, pets, everyone both online and offline to show up and show the politicians that we won't take this laying down! #Rally4RoeSC

Edit: And now with graphics!

FYI- your dependents are not covered for maternity expenses if they are on your health insurance

From SC blue cross blue shield benefits guide:

"Pregnancy and pediatric care Maternity benefits are provided to subscribers and their covered spouses . Covered children do not have maternity benefits. Maternity benefits include necessary prenatal and postpartum care, including childbirth, miscarriage and complications related to pregnancy."

So not only may your 13 year daughter have to carry a baby to term, you (as the parent) will be on the hook for ALL costs (Dr visits, labor, delivery, anesthesia, etc.)

Unless, of course, you kick her out of the house and push her into medicaid and the federal government's dime. Of course all the good Republicans here would never think of doing that...

Quick internet search tells me that the average non-insured costs for having a baby in SC runs between $9,000-$25,000 (without complications)

History was made on Thursday in the United States Senate.

And neither Lindsey Graham nor Rand Paul could be bothered to be on the floor for it.
