    I seriously doubt that. Unlike you, I've been a woman from birth. I'm 70, which means you don't want to get into a pissing match with me ... all I do is piss. ;-)

    Women will not give up the right (as they see it) to control their wombs. Pro-lifers can't eliminate abortion by legislation. How much damage are you prepared to do to society before you accept you cannot win?

    Forbes on the number of abortions and the cost:

    "Estimates vary for how many people get the procedure each year, with 630,000 on the low end to around 886,000 based on other models. The median cost of a medication abortion, which make up just over half the total, was $560 in 2020 without insurance."

    And...

    "The cost of a first-trimester surgical abortion has increased but the cost of a second-trimester surgical abortion went down in the same period. The median cost of a first-trimester surgical abortion went from $475 in 2017 to $575 in 2020, while the second-trimester procedure decreased from $935 to $895, according to a study in Health Affairs."

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/katiejennings/2022/05/07/abortion-by-the-numbers/?sh=4528acb560a8

    Women are perfectly capable of financing abortions for every woman who needs or wants one.

    Will you abandon the pretense of abortion being a state issue and try to outlaw abortion across the country? Of course, you will. Most of the strongly pro-life accept the "teachings" of clerics who tell them God is against abortion. They're on a mission from God.

    Pro-choicers will finance abortions outside the country. They'll tell women about other drugs that will effect abortion.

    The same clerics who are spreading an anti-abortion gospel will see how much young women will turn away from church. Then we'll see if they change what God thinks about abortion.

    I see more evidence educated liberals are concerned about expressed ignorance as opposed to a concern about formal education.

    Given that the birthrate is slipping below replacement, one might conclude women see things differently than you do.
    Anecdotal.

    That too.

    "Liberals concerned over expressed ignorance" .. since when .. last I checked .. Libs be the ones promulgating ignorance ..now the "anti-science" - "anti-civil liberty" - "Anti-Speech" - pro censorship - pro war crowd.

    Dumb and dumber policy from environment to economy ... whats not to bang head against wall over ?

    No, they're looking for social ignorance. Where many liberals fail is in their understanding of how the economy functions—their own ignorance.

    I see way too much bigotry and outright social stupidity on the right. What a lot of rightwingers don't grasp is social ignorance makes them dinosaurs. Same-sex marriage, women's rights, living wages, basic healthcare, good schools, addressing climate change—these are part of modern life. Younger people tend to be educated and turned off by conservatives opposing these things. Conservatives are quite correct in pressing for social order—for instance, none of the nonsense like we saw in Portland and Seattle.

    "Anti-science" when they want to address climate change? No. "Anti-civil liberty" when they support women's rights? No. Cancel culture? They're going way too far. Pro-war? No. You're like them thinking we can do without police. The world has some bad actors—China, Russia, North Korea—and we should not think isolation works.
    They at least want to do something about climate change. Very few people on the left or right know spit about how to fix the economy.

    Blue are Anti Science - "climate change/Environment" .. policy on the basis of political bandwagon. Biden's enviro policy "Not in my Back Yard - Dump it in the Ocean"

    Anti Civil Liberty - Vax Mandate - Anti Free Speech, press information Assange .. Internet censorship .. cancel culture in general.

    "Women's Rights" you say -- what a laugh .. Blue is for "Rights for Women" but only for those they agree with.

    Blue is the new Neocon .. War Mongers . Obama-Biden both war criminals.

    After crying "NO NO NO" and being "wrong wrong wrong" .. you finish with some gibberish about doing without the Police - as if I stated contrary which is made up false nonsense - a figment of your over active imagination.

    Stuck to the relevant parts and ignored your off topic spam. Only comedy is your flip flopping on your stance depending whether it follows your party ideal or not.

    Hillary looks like a million years old and acts even older. Only thing keeping her alive is her desire to pay bill back still for cheating on her.

    I think people need to or they might wake up one day and support a party that no longer is what they think it is.

    While Gaetz is a idiot, some of the comments in this thread show that idiocy reigns supreme from both sides.

    Most Republican women do not 'parrot' their spouses thinking.
    Women are not 'over educated', there is no such thing.
    Those who think 'education' and intelligence are the same thing have neither.

    I don't have a party. I'm Canadian.

    Also, how is

    off topic when your the one who brought up.

    how on earth is it off topic to get you to actually clarify that vs using it as a fancy buzzword without actually understanding what that means.

    I think it just makes you too uncomfortable to have to think about my above quoted questions about Your position that You made.

    Yup .. just like the above post . no attempt to address the material .. no explanation of what you are talking about ..

    What part of Biden's Anti Science Environmental Policy "Not in my back yard - Dump it in the Ocean" - did you need sorted out. Same as those clowns in Quebec and BC .. fkn morons they are .. policy on the basis of the political band wagon.

    When you started comparing one of the worst events of the 20th century to something irrelevant you veered so far off track i dont know how we get back.
