I guess with Trump elected, we need to start asking Republicans what they mean when they say words.

Glad we have come full circle and you agree women are equals and deserve to be respected for more than a cluster of cells residing in their body.

All was fine without THEIR BIG GOVT intervention.


Get in the game.

sleeper;1848331 wrote:Then why do you support judges and politicians who want to make it illegal?

Like if you want it to be illegal you can't also claim that we shouldn't overturn RvW. You make no sense and are using double speak like 1984.

sleeper;1848332 wrote:Okay. I don't why you hammer these semantics. But okay.

sleeper;1848334 wrote:So you are for Big Government when it benefits your ideas but if it benefits women or minorities you are against it.

Classic Republican!

Most Americans do not favor infanticide.


If you are a male, go the men's bathroom. If you are a female, go to the women's bathroom.
We do not need government to be involved in such a simple matter.


When we don't do common sense; we do more government. Bad.

Con_Alma;1848335 wrote:I support judges who are pro life. I don't believe that's the same thing as making abortion illegal. They are two different things.

I've already addressed why. Would I rather it not be legal??? Yes, because that would be a reflection of the society at large. We shouldn't be consumed with going back and trying to change a legal interpretation because abortions will occur whether they are legal or not if people truly want them. It's more important to have a society that doesn't desire abortions.

I'm glad you continue to ask.

sleeper;1848342 wrote:One thing Republicans could do to reduce abortions is continue to fund organizations like PP that provide contraceptives to low income women that prevents pregnancy and therefore prevents abortions. They could also ramp up welfare programs, education, and support wage growth so that mothers can have a stronger financial base to make the decision to keep the child.

But no, Republicans would rather waste billions of dollars and many man hours of political capital defunding a woman's health organization and supporting budgets that cut programs to low income women and children. Pro-life is actually anti-sex, anti-poor, and anti-women.

I disagree with your pro-life definition.

sleeper;1848341 wrote:It was out of the tube since the beginning of time. Women have been having abortions even back when Jesus was walking around pretending to be a prophet and selling his snake oil. The only difference is now we have safe abortions and that is 100% why the issue is about women's right and women's reproductive health.

Republicans continue to prove they don't care about women's health.

In simpler terms, making it illegal now might be seen as not having the same effect has keeping it illegal then, because the era we live in now has been the result of it being legal for several decades, and as such, the variables aren't all the same.
