    Sanders wants us to pay for the abortions of people in foreign countries, and now the left wants us to pay for the illnesses of the ones who aren’t aborted.

    Make up your mind. Do you want kids to live or die? Tell us. Be honest. And if you want kids to live, then which kids? Which kids come first, ours or theirs?

    For once, will the left give a consistent answer to the above questions?

    It is impossible to abort a kid, the terminology disagrees with the definition. Most of the Democrats I know believe in the woman’s right to choose and that children that are alive should be cared for. Republicans mostly believe women should be forced to carry to term and then the single parent should herself up by her bootstraps and support the child and if she cannot they die.

    American children should always take precedent however

    I agree with some of what you said, but we see millionaire celebs openly stating how happy they are with their abortions when they can afford kids probably more than you and me.

    Cons think babies should be given a fighting chance to survive, libs think an inconvenient pregnancy should end merely because it’s inconvenient.

    I’m pro choice, but not pro abortion. I believe no one should tell someone what they can do with their bodies. But being pro choice doesn’t mean I fully support the wrong choice.

    And yet one of the single biggest impacts on the health in third world countries has been the availability of reliable contraception

    And I lobpve when the right conflates contraception and abortion

    Life isn't fair. He isn't a citizen. There isn't a right or a law that says anyone in the whole world that is under the age of 18 is entitled free health care paid fore and provided by the US govt. Not our job.

    Did you just use the phrase ‘third world countries?’ Isn’t that just another phrase for shithole?

    I predict the term ‘third world’ will be considered racist by the left before we die.

    I don’t call anywhere a “shithole” even America ;)

    But to be honest it is not just third world countries

    Easily available affordable reliable contraception is a mainstay of women’s health.
    Just think for a couple of minutes. If there were less population pressures in many countries would there not be less immigration from those countries?

    India and China are both prime examples of how controlling population had positive economic impacts

    A country that has a Majorly Flawed Constitution that could facilitate the election of a White Supremacist, Racist, Mysogynistic, Megalomaniacal, Totally Unqualified IMBECILE who lost the Popular Vote by almost 3 Million while riding a fluke to be elected President with the support of only 27% of Eligible Voters.

    That is who we "ARE".

    Trump doesn't care who he throws under the bus to die (or be killed).

    Trump = AMERICA'S TREASONOUS DISGRACE. :smh:

    I don't know. Sally Struthers has been advocating for the sick and starving children of Africa since the 70's. Nearly 50 years later I swear that I still see those same sick and starving children of Africa but now only five times as many.

    Yea but don't forget. Those 27% that support Trump are the ones that pay the vast majority of the annual Federal Income Tax. The 47% of Americans that don't pay one cent of income tax always vote democrat. No matter who the candidate is.

    So... You think America is a shithole but you won't call it that because your too... ummm...
    "refined" to say such an offensive thing? :censored:

    You avoid calling it like you see it... Can't tell the truth because it wouldn't look good,
    yet passive/aggressively disrespect America... Did you study under Obama?

    Yes, this is America. You have the freedom and are more than welcome to volunteer or donate to organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, The Peace Corp or UNICEF. Just out of curiosity what percentage of your total income was for charitable contributions last year?

    W Lo that sort of arguments es that we should be assisting with maternal health in the form of subsidising health care

    The main trouble with Africa is that the developed world are still siphoning off the riches
