  1.  @namagemx  Enough with this nonsense. Sullivan was known for months as a loose cannon with incoherent politics, and this Jackson rumor just seems like more conspiracy talk.

  2. You shouldn't interview people like Lila Rose without calling her out on lies like "abortion industry," or that children are involved.

  3. It's rather revealing, but not in a way that makes these cranks look better.

  4. Several of the arrestees have charges for guns and/or explosives. There's abundant video of the heavy fighting on that day. Lots of people have gotten in trouble for the other civil unrest that you mention.

  5. Fetuses might be more than clumps of cells (that better describes zygotes/early embryos), but they still aren't babies, and they don't have personhood.

  6. Yeah, preventing patients from getting health care and injuring someone in the process is evil, and then storing biohazards in one's home is reckless and creepy.

  7. Planned Parenthood was found to do nothing wrong, after multiple investigations across several states, often performed by Attorneys General who are not fans of PP. They were donating fetal tissue with costs covered, for use in medical research to battle disease (and that's pro-life). Yes indeed, the late doctor's improper fetus storage was a dangerous hazard is is rather appalling, as is this activist's actions.

  8.  @melanieb2132  Fetal tissue research is very beneficial to fight against diseases that harm and kill people. If your cost/benefit analysis makes you decide that you don't want to make use of medical treatment developed from such research, you don't have to.

  9.  @melanieb2132  My instinct says yes, but if (and I do mean if) the experts can clearly tell that there was no wrongdoing, then I would defer to their judgment.

  10.  @melanieb2132  Except there's nothing wrong with abortion.

  11. There are no babies involved, and no murder.

  12. The least religious places in this country and in the world are the most peaceful.

  13.  @TheChilKat  I don't think the Trumpists cared about that; they recorded their activities and bragged about it later, all online. They didn't think that they would get arrested, as they figured that they were saving the country. It's the same sort of arrogance/cluelessness that led Richard Spencer to announce the location of his hate group's office in Alexandria, Virginia (it's long gone now). It's the same reason that Heinrich Himmler tried to negotiate a separate peace with the Western Allies as Nazi Germany was about to fall- it didn't occur to him that he might get in trouble for what he did.

  15. Asking for asylum is legal!

  16. You have no evidence for this. The rates of most categories of crime have remained constant, or even decreased, in recent years. There has been an upswing in homicides, however.

  17. There's been an upswing in homicide since the pandemic, but rates are still much lower than they were at the 1990 peak.

  18. Revolver?

  19.  @Richard.Dawson  They don't do that. Multiple investigations across several states, often performed by Attorneys General who are not fans of PP, found no wrongdoing. The organization was donating fetal tissue w/costs covered, for use in medical research to battle diseases (and that's pro-life).

  20. Stop shouting.

  21.  @pearlakina3911  I want to know more about the M.E.'s decision, but according to said M.E., they were still fetuses, and there was no wrongdoing. Some have suggested that the fetuses were in fact stillbirths.

  29. For one thing, the blockade incident is a serious crime on several levels. For another, one isn't supposed to keep biohazards in one's home.

  34.  @tj2484  Not this again... sigh. Ok, you asked for it. You're referring to slavery. Slaves obviously had personhood. It consists of the characteristics that make killing wrong: sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, and everything else that is taken away when a person is killed. In a rudimentary way, babies have that. Embryos & fetuses do not and cannot. Now, regarding the Civil War, and civil rights- In the decades after the war, things began to change, and partway into the 20th Century it was clear that civil rights were more of a regional thing than a partisan matter. Northern Democrats like JFK/RFK joined northern Republicans in supporting civil rights, while southern Democrats (Dixiecrats, with LBJ being a big exception) and the few southern Republicans in opposing it. After the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, the Dixiecrats were incensed and felt betrayed. Nixon & company embarked on the "Southern Strategy" (yes. Lee Atwater and Ken Mehlman openly admitted it) to win over southern Democratic voters. Most of the Dixiecrats remained in the party, with Strom Thurmond as a major exception, but they voted more and more with the Republicans, and as they retired/died they were replaced by Republicans elected by the same voters. That brings us to today, where Republicans are the ones defending symbols honoring the treasonous & evil Confederate regime, to the point of parading the regime's battle flag inside the Capitol. This is not controversial.

  35.  @irishandscottish1829  Not this again. Byrd renounced the Klan, and spent his whole career opposing that sort of thing. This is well-known. I'm not ignoring any of the things said/done by the others you mention. Liberals at least acknowledge structural/institutional racism, but of course they do little about it. Conservatives deny it outright. For most of my life I have had to defend liberals despite standing far to their left- the attacks on them from conservatives & rightists are just so ridiculous.

  36. Nobody's angry about the migrants. They're angry about people being trafficked as props.

  37.  @RevTox  There is no abortion industry. PP is a nonprofit, and private abortion providers have very high overhead costs thanks to the threat of terrorism from anti-choicers. Embryos & fetuses aren't children, so there are no children involved unless we're talking about pregnant minors.

  38.  @LauraBeeDannon  Abby Johnson's credibility is dubious at best. That's been known for a long time, shortly after she first rose to prominence. Yes, PP is a nonprofit.

  39.  @joeschneider3894  As a matter of fact, I do care. I am curious for more information about why the M.E. made that assessment. They did say that they would do an autopsy if more information emerged that prompted further questions, as opposed to statements from unnamed/alleged sources. PP is part of the nonprofit industry, and private abortion providers are part of the medical/healthcare industry, but abortion is a standard medical service. There's no "heart surgery industry."

  44.  @scottbennard  Are you serious? The police are much more repressive (violent) towards leftist and/or marginalized groups protesting.

  45. Not necessarily. One shouldn't plead guilty until one gets an acceptable plea deal, and maybe not even then.

  46. I think that they identified his face, not his ass. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

  47. There is no murder. Besides, if you want to stop abortion, the only way to crash the abortion rate is to subsidize and promote LARCs (IUDs & implants), along with comprehensive sex-ed. This has worked wonders in programs in St. Louis and Colorado. It's why the Netherlands has a very low abortion rate, despite abortion being free and easy to access.

  49. Of course human fetuses are human. It's a question of personhood, not species.
    2
  50.  @elizabethlee7326  You're disingenuous. Of course human embryos (and in this case, human fetuses) are human. The issue is personhood, which embryos & fetuses lack, but of course they are biological material that can be hazardous (biohazard), and should be handled accordingly.
