With rare exception, not true.
posted by CenterBHSFanI've been hearing and seeing people bitch about taxpayer money being spent on a bridge instead of the usual insurance claims.
I look at it much differently.
At least taxpayer money is being spent on US soil.
I just want all of the companies that have responsibility for it to pay up to and including liquidation. Then send me a bill for my share of the rest.
posted by jmogWhy can't it?Scientifically when life begins should have a set "date", it can't be arbitrary to what one person (mother) believes, or the current technology.
I won't get into a protracted debate, but will point out that if one is equating viability outside the womb with "a life", those are not at all equivalent.

posted by jmogAt the end of the day when life actually begins isn’t an opinion. It’s objective not subjective.
People may disagree and argue but that doesn’t make all 300 different opinions correct.
There are extreme views either way we can all agree are off base. But it’s not subjective like what one’s favorite color is.
It’s a scientific principle that science can figure out (and actually has but that’s a different discussion).
If one pregnant woman says life begins at conception and another pregnant woman says it doesn’t begin until birth they can’t both be right on when life begins. . Thats just logically wrong.
Understood. I simply see no need for a consensus. To me it's a strictly individual issue.

The real question is when one believes/understands life to begin.
Where we'll have to respectfully agree to disagree is who the "one" is. Society? Conservatives? Liberals? The clergy? I'm going to stick with the pregnant party.
posted by jmogand the true conservative view on this is that the choice is yours to make and any fallout from it is between you and your maker, whomever or whatever you believe that to be.Statistically close to 96% of abortions are not medically necessary and therefore elective or “birth control”.

As they're both total liars, there is truly little difference.
posted by iclfan2So you’re voting based on the person instead of the party?
As neither party remotely lives by what they claim to stand for, it makes perfect sense to do so.

posted by CenterBHSFanDamn I hope you're right on this one.Just my opinion because I'm terrible at political election prognostications - but Trump can spew forth whatever he wants because it will all come to nothing. He's not going to be President again.

Old does not equal dementia
You are correct, however, what is not in serious debate is that beyond a certain age, one's mental faculties decline. I know it first-hand and I'm quite a bit younger than Mr. Biden. The POTUS should be someone at the top of their mental game.
