maybe. or maybe it’s consistent with the fact that in 2020, a record-number of americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump, so there’s data to suggest it’s that people like conservatism more than they like radical liberalism. .

It’s too late for Republicans to point fingers and fret about the politicization of the Supreme Court. This was their project – their justices, their shady advocacy groups, and $580M of their dark money.

If Republicans actually believed in we the people they would stop supporting trump after he stole the election !

But the We the people in their world are a small subset of white evangelicals who vote in primaries and throw cash at Republicans to make American white again….

If the red states actually cared about issue of their state they would Vote on abortion state wide , but the cowards will never put that on the ballot …. The see the polls they know the answer

It’s the only freedoms they support and they want that they care about just look at abortion legal abortion never stopped a Christian from having a baby

just like gay marriages didn’t stop Christian marriages or stop Christian husbands from beating their wife’s . Ya know the same thing that happens in marriages across race and religion and nationality

But the GOP wants America to go back to the time of leave it to beaver and grease .

Where all of today’s problems in their peas cult drive sized brains never existed

and now that we know that men can menstruate and get pregnant, he can still get an abortion if he chooses....

I suspect a lot of leftists out there probably think wdmso, pete, gs and paul are the fringe whackjob element of their wing....

"So, while Naomi is still a pro-choice leftist, she’s smart and intellectually honest. For that reason, she sees the Dobbs decision that reversed Roe v. Wade as an inevitable response to the overreach in which the pro-choice movement engaged:

I believe that the Dobbs decision was an almost inevitable reaction to devastating overreach by the organized pro-choice movement, especially in the last twenty years.

In 1995, Naomi admitted that abortion is the death of a child but rationalized that, in terms of women’s needs, it was still for the greater good. She also warned that the abortion movement would be harmed if it persisted in the lie that the fetus is “a clump of cells” and insisted on pushing abortion later and later into a pregnancy.
After reviewing her stance in 1995, Naomi continued:

I also warned that such mechanistic, amoral language and such increasingly monstrous policies would eventually also create a political scenario that in time was certain to lose: these policies would eventually lose us the reasonable middle: the majority of the country that supports abortion rights in the first trimester but that withdraws its support progressively as pregnancies progress.

Pro-choice activists were not content to defend the right to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester, which are the limits on readily available abortion throughout Western Europe (where, notably, there is almost no anti-choice activism).

The organized feminist left were not content to use the language or policies that polls supported, of seeking a country in which abortion would be “safe, legal and rare.”

Rather, they pushed, in state after state, to enshrine that “right” up until very the day of a baby’s birth.

At what point does a “right” become a murder?"

[Pete F.]

Three days after Dobbs, an Indiana OB-GYN got a call from a child abuse doctor in Ohio, which had banned abortion after six weeks with no rape exception.

"Now this doctor had a 10-year-old patient in the office who was six weeks and three days pregnant."

Things that reduce abortions: sex education, free contraceptives, paid maternity leave, affordable childcare, free pre-K, livable wages, affordable housing, and universal healthcare.

Things that don’t reduce abortions: bans

if bans don’t reduce abortions, why are you going absolutely berserk about the prospect of bans in some states?

So just how will a law against abortions stop them?
You think they were invented in 1973?
Benjamin Franklin published a book that he added a chapter to about how to abort a pregnancy.

It’s funny all the conservative news from Ted fighting with Elmo to Trump paying for attorneys or
“How the court overruled Roe in a case where the petition for certiorari didn’t urge that position,” then “They resolve the EPA’s authority over climate change in a case involving a regulation that had never gone into effect..

Nope none of these stories got a response

But the mention of Texas reinstating sodomy laws.. The resident Alpha males are attracted like moths to a flame with all sorts of homosexuals references and innuendo. Beating their chests and thinking their owning the libs

so you’re saying an unborn baby who has had zero due process, , and a convicted murderer who has had multiple trials and appeals, are the same?

liberals say the convicted murderer has the right to live, not the unborn baby. You think that’s logical? i’ve often wondered how many bad acid trips it takes to believe that makes sense.

I’m opposed to the death penalty and to abortion, for the same reason, life is too precious.

But there’s logic to saying an unborn baby is more precious than a murderer. There’s little logic in saying the murderer has a greater right to life, than an unborn baby. You really have to hate the concept of responsibility and free will, to believe that.

Keep screaming without paying attention to the issue at the heart of the conflict.

"Do you believe, at any point in pregnancy, that there should be any limit on a woman's right to an abortion?" Wallace asked.

"I think the dialogue has gotten so caught up on when you draw the line that we've gotten away from the fundamental question of who gets to draw the line," Buttigieg said.

"And I trust women to draw the line."

Wallace pointed to late term abortions and asked Buttigieg what his position was in back-and-forth.

"You would be okay with a woman well into the third trimester to obtain an abortion?" Wallace asked.

"These hypotheticals are set up to provoke a strong emotional reaction," Buttigieg said.

"These aren't hypotheticals — there are 6,000 women a year who get an abortion in the third trimester," Wallace said.

"That's right, representing less than one percent of cases a year," Buttigieg replied. The data from 2019 appears to support his claim, according to a Los Angeles Times report.

"So, let's put ourselves in the shoes of a woman in that situation. If it's that late in your pregnancy, that means almost by definition you've been expecting to carry it to term," he went on.

"We're talking about women who have perhaps chosen the name, women who have purchased the crib, families that then get the most devastating medical news of their lifetime, something about the health or the life of the mother that forces them to make an impossible, unthinkable choice."

"That decision is not going to be made any better, medically or morally, because the government is dictating how that decision should be made," he said.

But Jim knows better than any woman or doctor how this should be decided.

i’m not screaming, i’m responding. the heart of the matter, the whole
matter,,is whether or not the unborn is a person. that’s all
it’s about.

I don’t truth people
to draw the line. that’s why we need laws, because some people
will draw that line to allow them
to do wicked things. Pete’s answer was a complete, total, cop out.

IF you believe the baby is a person (and you do not, which is fine), you wouldn’t trust women to draw the line where they see fit.

The left always frames this dishonestly.

I think the majority of women will argue the heart of the issue is they should have control of their own bodies and the decision is theirs. I agree with them, but I know you wil ramble on.

they can argue that, but it’s a smokescreen. and i can prove it.

Are you ok with laws that prevent female teachers from getting involved with male students? i assume you’re ok with those laws, most people are.

in other words, we all agree women can do what they want with their bodies, as long as the choice doesn’t harm someone else. everyone agrees with that. i agree with that, so do you.

Therefore, this is t about women’s rights to make choices. all it’s about, is the status of the baby.

i dare you to make that wrong. you can’t.

ever single criminal law, limits choices people ( even women) can make.
