Subject: So Miss Metropolitan did something I've never seen a girl do. It was actually quite clever, but not sure the judges will be pleased. Her onstage topic was Reproductive Rights. She launched into her battle with endometriosis and didn't mention abortion at all Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:52:13 07/12/25 Sat Author Host/IP: NoHost/100.17.37.204 In reply to: 's message, "Miss New York" on 18:43:34 07/12/25 Sat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Lauren is a Christian and doesn’t believe in abortion . Endo is her platform, very clever (NT) No name (139.sub-174-227-85.myvzw.com/174.227.85.139) 19:02:11 07/12/25 Sat Plenty of Christians are pro-choice (NT) -- No name, 19:21:33 07/12/25 Sat (NoHost/100.17.37.204) I am a Christian and I “believe “ that abortion should be accessible and safe. Amen. (NT) -- No name, 20:21:11 07/12/25 Sat (c-73-166-97-38.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/73.166.97.38) You have never seen a contestant pivot a question on one topic into an answer on another topic, specifically one related to their platform/CSI? Have you ever attended a pageant? Endometriosis is a well known disease (among women) impacting the uterus. This issue is directly related to reproductive organs and if she could not answer a question around reproductive rights with efficiency despite her platform being centered on endometriosis, that is all the more disappointing. (NT) No name (NoHost/69.143.5.122) 01:14:42 07/13/25 Sun Among women? Of course it is among women men do not have a uterus. We are not stupid. (NT) -- No name, 22:31:14 07/13/25 Sun (gwc.cluster002.hosting.ovh.net/51.68.11.191) Yeah this is like pageant 101 .... youre taught to make EVERYTHING about your platform. "what's your favorite color?" "My favorite color is Red which also represents women's heart health which is my platform". (NT) -- No name, 10:07:40 07/14/25 Mon (23.29.80.195.bbc.net/23.29.80.195) Except in our example, you answer the question. In this case, she didn't even touch on the "rights" aspect of it. The topic wasn't "Reproduction" it was specifically reporductive rights. (NT) -- No name, 14:42:15 07/14/25 Mon (NoHost/100.17.37.204) It was reproductive issues. Not rights. Endometriosis causes infertility which is 100% a reproductive issues. It’s also a topic, not a question- and endometriosis is directly related to the topic. Maybe she talked about it not because she was taught to plug her platform, but because she wanted to actually advocate for women? Endometriosis needs more awareness than ever. Doctors don’t believe women. I think it’s great. She used her 30 seconds to advocate. People can argue about abortion all day long, but endometriosis needs more of a platform.

Everyone knows that Reproductive RIGHTS alludes to abortion and family planning. Sure, endometrosis is part of it, but to just ignore all of that and jsut talk about endo the whole time?
