  1. Correction: Murder is the unlawful taking of an innocent person's life, and embryos/fetuses aren't "persons." Because, at a minimum, a "person" must be an entity that can experience pain (suffer, which squirrels can do), be aware of its surroundings (sentient, which the hundreds of thousands of pigs and cows slaughtered each day are), and can see itself as existing over time, or is self-aware (consciousness, which only dogs, dolphins, great apes, humans, and a few other species are capable of). A fetus, prior to the age of 18 weeks, is none of the above.

  2. How about minding your own d@mn business? Pervert.

  3. A question: If abortion is a "states rights issue," what about gay marriage? Contraceptives? Sodomy? Miscegenation (interracial marriage)? None of those are codified in the Constitution. Heck, neither is the Supreme Court's power to strike down federal, state, and local laws that conflict with the Constitution (judicial review). That was established in the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison. So where does it end? If women don't even possess the right in half the states across this country to exercise basic autonomy over their own bodies, then there is no sense in which we can call ourselves a "free nation" (unlike the rest of the developed world, where abortion is LEGAL). Now, all unplanned pregnancies that could have been terminated at an EARLY stage when the fetus is not capable of experiencing pain (i.e. prior to 18 weeks gestation) will result in unsafe back-alley abortions (jeopardizing the life of the fetus AND the mother), more children being raised in financially unstable households and further driving the economically disadvantaged into destitution, more dysfunctional families, AND overwhelming our woefully underresourced and inadequate foster care system, where kids will be raised by people who are not their biological parents. I don't know about you, but I would almost be GLAD to have been aborted in such situations. If Republicans actually cared about babies, they would be proposing legislation to remedy the fact that the United States is still one of THREE countries in the WORLD that does not provide paid maternity leave by law. Congratulations conservatives, you have succeeded yet again in making the world a worse place to live. I hope you're satisfied.

  5. Biden: "What are Republicans for?" I can answer that for you: - More tax cuts for the rich - Endless war - Rampant corruption - Voter suppression - Cuts to the already miniscule social safety net (by developed standards) - Wall Street deregulation and bailouts - No environmental protections - Hindering unionization efforts - Nonstop distractions about culture war garbage (Dr. Seuss/Potato Head, Sexy M&M's, Critical Race Theory, transgender bathrooms) - Obstructing any substantive material improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans (like healthcare, childcare, homecare, paid maternity leave, extended child tax credit, lower prescription drug costs, and student loan debt relief) - Privatizing everything - Defenestration of separation of church and state - Government overreach into your personal business (mass surveillance, regulating your sex life, your anatomy, your intake of certain substances, etc.) In other words: Everything that would objectively make the lives of ordinary working-class Americans worse. Why do you consistently vote against your own economic interests?

  8. Yeah, because wearing a piece of cloth over your face (when the government can arrest you for not wearing pants) and receiving a 2-second prick of a lifesaving formula against a deadly, raging pandemic is totally comparable with having to carry a baby to term for 9 months, experiencing excruciating pain during childbirth, and caring for it for a minimum of 18 years thereafter. Please. 🙄 And for the record, I'm against "hard" vaccine mandates.

  9.  @Andromedon777  Really? How about this: All unplanned pregnancies that could have been terminated at an EARLY stage when the fetus is not capable of experiencing pain (i.e. prior to 18 weeks gestation) will result in unsafe back-alley abortions (jeopardizing the life of the fetus AND the mother), more children being raised in financially unstable households and further driving the economically disadvantaged into destitution, more dysfunctional families, AND overwhelming our woefully underresourced and inadequate foster care system, where kids will be raised by people who are not their biological parents.
