it was easy, because you completely dodged the issue. you didn’t go anywhere near it.

On abortion , liberals say women have bodily autonomy. On vaccines,,liberals say women can be forced to inject chemicals into their body if they want to stay in school.

what’s the principle you stand by, exactly?

my principle is women can choose whatever they want,, as long as that choice does t harm anyone else, and that seems reasonable to me. you think that’s bonkers. fine

No one has any clue what the liberal principles are,,because you flip flop 180 degrees constantly.

Women can choose to kill a baby, but they can’t choose not to get vaccinated if their doctors advise against it. that sounds very totalitarian to me.

oh, so you say private entities can do what they want. That’s what you believe?

right, right.

Tell that to the christian baker who doesn’t want to be forced to participate in a gay wedding. Tell that to the owners of Hobby Lobby, to chick fil a when cities refuse to let them open stores because of their beliefs, etc…

It begs the question, so i’ll ask again, do you have ANY principles that you apply equally, consistently, in different situations?

No. You don’t. Not a one.

You’d say that LIBERAL private entities can do what they want. Not conservative private entities.

Bitch. Slapped.

Grew up in right side of the aisle Republican household. But, my mother volunteered countless hours at the Childrens hospital. She was pro abortion rights. She saw the children having children, unable to care for them, both by lacking ability and financially. Caused a huge drain on local resources, ie. public assistance. And I understand the religious view too. So when I having grown up, into my (yikes) mid sixties now with Roe V Wade having been an accepted part of our society, I am torn by the issue becoming a political football. I do not accept that my stand of supporting a woman's right puts me in the Democratic aisle, by default. That is BS. But, if the new republican party (note no capitalization) is going to make this a line in the sand... they will have completely misjudged the outcome when the black, gray, non-white population triples in size due to this change in the laws of our land.

pro life people aren’t afraid of more people if color

it’s the left that uses abortion as a tool to keep their numbers in check. Planned Parenthood was founded my a famous racist named Margaret Sanger who publicly and unashamedly said abortion was important to jeep their numbers manageable.

Raise my taxes to help those kids.

And any baby that gets put up for adoption, will immediately get scooped up by a family desperate to live him/her.

and in any event, who knows if abortions will decrease if Roe is overturned. Many states will continue tonight it as today

You made a very fair and reasonable post. as a conservative, i don’t believe that being pro choice means you have to go to the left.

i’m just repeating the words of the woman who (1) founded Planned Parenthood, and (2) is worshipped by the left.

Is it radical to say that blacks are disproportionately getting abortions?

anyway, there’s a growing list of questions you refuse to answer. i wonder why that is…

Shocking more false equivalences

Margaret Sanger is strongly associated with the abortion issue today.[27][28] For much of the organization's history, however, and throughout Sanger's life, abortion was illegal in the U.S., and discussions of the issue were often censored.[29] During this period, Sanger – like other American advocates of birth control – publicly condemned abortion, arguing that it would not be needed if every woman had access to birth control.[29]

She was dead when abortion became legal

Jim repeats every right wing trope, then Detbuch/Molyneux echoes him so they must be right, they’ve heard each other say it

In 1966, Martin Luther King Jr. made clear that he agreed that Sanger’s life’s work was anything but inhumane. In 1966, when King received Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Award in Human Rights, he praised her contributions to the black community. “There is a striking kinship between our movement and Margaret Sanger’s early efforts,” he said. “…Margaret Sanger had to commit what was then called a crime in order to enrich humanity, and today we honor her courage and vision.”

you think only men are opposed to abortion? you might need to look around more.

and i’m pretty sure the left now says men can get pregnant.

and since you presumably also don’t have a uterus, why aren’t you taking your own advice and staying silent on the issue?

as always, it’s ok when liberal
men chime in. Not acceptable when conservatives do the same thing. Because false equivalence.

every single criminal law, is a case of others imposing their beliefs on others. it’s not new, Nebe.

of course you go right to the most extreme, and very rare, example. not many places will disallow it in the case of rape.

the data s clear, most abortions are purely elective, performed on healthy women who had consensual

Conservatives hate it when anyone points out this truth: Three of the five reportedly anti-Roe justices were named by a president who lost the popular vote by 2.9 million and were confirmed by senators representing a minority of the nation’s population.
Or that one of the vacancies was created by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s blockade against Merrick Garland’s nomination in the final year of Barack Obama’s presidency. And then came McConnell’s reversal on the issue of letting an election happen before a justice was confirmed. He rushed Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination through in 2020 just days before the voters chose Joe Biden.

Just some facts

You can tell that the anti’s really care about babies, just look at what Mississippi Gov. Reeves just said, "We must prove that being pro-life is not just about anti-abortion... we want to continue to focus on ensuring that those expected mothers have the resources that they need."

Mississippi has the highest infant mortality rate in the country.

the justices were no
instead by the man who won the 2016 election, and confirmed by a senate elected by the people.

elections have consequences. Obama said that, and everyone loved it. He was right.

the democrats flip flopped on this the same way. Biden first said a democrat senate should block Bush 41 from nominating someone. Then as VP, Biden flip flopped and said a president should be able to make an appointment late in his term.

Biden coined the Biden rule. If it was ok for him, please tell me why it was wrong for McConnell?

the american people gave senate control to the gop. they didn’t do that, because they wanted Scalia replaced with Garland.

Today, Biden is potus and the democrats have the senate, and he’s making all kinds of federal judicial appointments, including to scotus. Now it’s his turn. before, it was trumps turn

You can’t offer one syllable as to why it’s not legally sound to overturn Roe. Not one syllable. Have you read the draft?

If a majority of people in SC want a total ban, and the constitution doesn’t prohibit it, then they SHOULD get it. That’s called “democracy.”

If they implement a total ban and no one wants it, the citizens will
elect new people. That’s how it works. That’s why it’s better if elected representatives do it in each state, rather then 9 unelected lawyers doing it for the whole country.

"Jim Republicans are cowards they will never put abortion on the ballot "

States are already implementing "trigger laws" to implement abortion bans the second after Roe is overturned. And the Governors and legislators who are passing those laws, are not appointed for life, they get re-elected. So once again, you are making up demonstrably false gibberish. You think republicans in SC, TX, and OK are afraid of abortion? They're afraid of not passing abortion laws.

Where on Earth do you get this stuff?

"odd you call gerrymandering and the republicans have done such a great job they can’t lose it rigged at the state house .. keep calling that Democracy."

I live in CT. Here, the democrats gerrymandered the one red district, they re-drew it to include enough of the city of Waterbury, to keep it blue. Why is it OK when democrats do it?

For the tenth time, can you tell us how gerrymandering helps anyone in a statewide race? Governors races, US senate races, does gerrymandering do ANYTHING?

"Let SC and all the states put abortion on the ballot ban it on a state wide referendum! "

I'm OK with either a referendum, or with having regularly elected politicians do it. It gets you to pretty much the same place.

"And respect the will of the people not the will of the Donors"

You don't need a referendum to reflect the will of the people. Regular elections do that.

You know what doesn't reflect the will of the people? Having 9 unelected lawyers decide huge issues for the whole country. No thanks.

Will you criticize blue states for not putting their abortion plans to a statewide referendum?

please tell me why the data shows that conservatives are slightly more charitable than. liberals, if you’re on your own once you’re born. I’d love to hear your explanation. Look at the condition of cities, mostly run by liberals. Is that the result of being led by politicians who truly care for those residents?

The Roe draft will galvanize the majority who don’t want it overturned. But if gas is over $5, inflation is still high and the stock
market is tanking and we’re in a recession? who knows which prevails

But it has to hurt the right, the question is how much.
