    What you "used" to do is entirely irrelevant.

    Because of your hurtful experience, I would say that you have come to regard Republicans as The Enemy...

    A ban on legal abortions (which, at least, expresses society's collective outrage) does not make women's bodies the "property of the state." Rather, it recognizes the fact that the unborn child--whether "viable" or not--is emphatically not a part of the mother's body. (Attached to it, yes; but, just as a barnacle is often attached to a ship, that barnacle is not a part of that ship.)

    Evidently, I misjudged your age.

    You write with all the sophomoric certainty of a twentysomething...

    In the first place, most aborted babies are not "sick."

    Moreover, if they "do not want" these babies--entirely separate human beings (with different DNA structures)--they can always give them up for adoption.

    I guess you missed the March for Life this year--and every year since Roe--as it featured many women...

    You know, I have never in my entire life--not even once--heard a right-winger use the (downright silly) term, "commies." (Evidently, it is something that the left has invented, and then projected upon the right.)

    If you do not feel that you are now a part of the middle class, well, that is really no one else's problem...

    Obviously, you cannot attribute a difference of opinion to anything other than impure motives on the part of others...

    I'm afraid "regular" folks aren't prepared for what the Libby's are really capable of! Clearly our countries biggest threat is the Progressive movement, sadly it will have to be seriously dealt with and sooner than later!

    Agree completely, I've always said that liberalism is really nothing more than societal suicide. A blind man can see where this is going and many of us are preparing.

    I'm going to leave out all the parts where you complain about what a meany-head I am and just concentrate where you got somewhere near a point. (Don't worry, it'll be short.)

    I regard them as people who will make society worse if they get their way.. because they already have.. The last five recessions and three wars have been Republican productions, brought to you by useful idiots who thought they were right with Jesus.


    But we don't make a ship keep a barnacle on it, or give the barnacle a say in what the ship does. The defacto effect of declaring fetuses as people is you give them more rights than the woman they are in.


    Or they can just save themselves $3000 and go to the abortion clinic. Problem solved.

    again, never a shortage of useful idiots who can be manipulated into voting against their own interests.


    Tells me you aren't very old. That word was commonly used in the 70' and 80's.. until Communism fell. But you missed my point.

    No, it's the problem of those who demolished the middle class with union busting, right to work, outsourcing, free trade, and so on. Man, I would love to have a union job like my dad got after WWII.


    Kind of hard to not. It seems like every couple of years, the Republicans come in, screw all of you, we vote them out, and then you put them back in again. This has happened three times in my lifetime (Reagan, Bush-43 and now Trump). Yet abortion never gets banned....

    You are far to emotional to have reasonable discussion.

    Well, you keep moving the goalposts back and forth between the 99% of abortions performed before week 20 and the 1% performed after.... the 1% performed after were covered in Doe v. Boland, which held that the woman's health was a higher concern than viability.


    That these nuns would wave their big wooden rulers at us and tell us being gay was bad, but man, we all knew every last one of them was a lesbian. (When it became kind of hip to be a lesbian, women stopped signing up to be nuns and the world was better off for it.) We all knew the priests were as queer as square donuts, and you didn't want to be left alone in a room with one of them, but man, they all acted like these guys knew about "morality" because they could cite quotes from the Big Book of Bronze Age Fairy Tales.

    Not at all. the thing is, Science is still out on that issue, not that it matters. Almost all of these diseases that prompt late abortions are far worse.


    Unfortunately, you wingnuts define 'something better' as 'let the market kill off the poor'. Something better would be single payer. We got ACA because you guys fought "Something better" for years, up until and including HillaryCare, which seems like a pretty good idea right about now. The biggest problem with the ACA is that it was based on the Heritage Foundation/RomneyCare model that we can really trust the insurance companies not to screw you after they have your money.




    It's very hard to rationalize with people who keep doing the same stupid things after they've been proven not to work.

    What an out-of-character mistake for CNN to make! I'll bet the goons responsible for this gaffe had to get down on their knees and chant, "Hail, Satan!" about thirty times to keep their jobs after creating an embarrassment like that! :lol:

    And distort what you find enough.

    It's never been about women and really never has, Women's rights are HUMAN rights and that's largely what liberalism is about, but conservatives are more concerned about corporate rights than anything concerning mere humans, and so want to obfuscate the issue

    And with that, I can be certain that you have no intention of conducting a civil debate; but instead, just berating those with whom you disagree.

    And I truly have no desire to be a part of that.

    So in the future, I will simply ignore you.

    Good day...

    It's hard to take useful idiots seriously who keep voting for people who screw them, and never give them what they want.

    Pro-lifers are like battered housewives who keep going back to the same abusive husband.

    Then again, Pro-lifers are religious nuts who are mortified about the very thought of women controlling their own sexuality.
