  1.  @ronaldburkholder7895  It really isn't. The Constitution only functions as a limitation of government power, the Feds should have been on this in the turn of the century by having an actual law defending a base line of abortion, but instead allowed an interpretation of the Supreme Court stand unaided. You want a country in which democracy is thrown away for the sake of the big man in charge? Move to Russia, they've love you there with Putler. Me, while I am very wary of the lack of backing abortion has, there is plenty of means to ACTUALLY have abortion in the books.

  2.  @ronaldburkholder7895  What are you even talking about? Vaccines? Ayatollah? Take your meds, dude. I had my vaccines and supported everyone taking them. Get help.

  3.  @ronaldburkholder7895  Dude, what the hell are you talking about??? Where did I say that people shouldn't get vaccine shots? Where did I say that abortions were bad? Take your meds, your schizo is acting up, seriously.

  4.  @devan735  This is and was a threat to democracy as much as literally ending abortion is and was a threat against women. You don't save democratic practice by destroying the system to save the end result; that's how you get dictators that "totally promise" to save people and then suspend ALL rights. This isn't hard, are you an American or are you a Russian in disguise?

  8.  @jattjamesbond1122  Pathetic how Russia's answer to everything is nukes. How sad of a country is that? 😂

  9.  @jattjamesbond1122  Russia is using nukes to try and win a war and will invoke MAD. US used it to end a war when the concept didn't exist yet. Are you gonna cry about imperialism no longer being allowed too? As I said; pathetic. 😂

  10.  @ericsuarez834  Russian language was never banned in Ukraine, propagandist. You literally can't find any such law on the internet. Meanwhile entire towns have been massacred and Russians are denying the Ukrainian RIGHT TO EXIST. "People" like you cry about Hunter Biden when there is a fascist war of conquest going on. Disgusting.

  11.  @ericsuarez834  Mariupol is a city. And how is 800 fascists which was melded into regular soldiers mean that its okay to massacre an entire city? Wagner is much larger and their leader is filled with swastika tattoos. I guess the US has the right to bomb Russia into the dirt now? Hell, I'm coming along with the idea. I was referring to Bucha, the recently re-taken city. The reports are horrendous. Inb4 you tell me its all lies after Ukrainians literally just retook it.
    1
  12.  @ericsuarez834  Yes. 800. That's the number we have, and this is the apparent justification for bombing a city so much that it looks like it got nuked. Ah yes, the descendant of Holocaust victim has connections to Azov members. Stepan Bandera is a troublesome figure to be sure, but hardly that out there when talking about the likes of historical fetishization of key figures ala Stalin, Lenin, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Napoleon III, etc, etc. For someone so concerned about such things, you seem awfully eager to ignore how Russia literally craps over all of this and makes Ukraine look like a left-wing progressive paradise. With your own logic, Russia deserves to be bombed to hell. It's impressive how much you shill for fascist imperialists.

  13.  @katlitoostatic9519  He is saying that, literally that's what he's implying. Besides, not every Russian war crime was brought up either like in Georgia or Syria, that isn't hypocrisy either.

  14.  @katlitoostatic9519  "I'm not justifying what Russia is doing, I'm just echoing their propaganda to the point that I am deflecting for Russia for their benefit" Imagine thinking that the people that are invading and justifying the destruction of the Ukrainians is the same as the people trying to stop them. Are the French the same as the Nazis in WW2 to you as well? That's how utterly repugnant your moral stance is.
    1
  15.  @katlitoostatic9519  And where was all this energy when Russia was bombing other innocent countries? Maybe you should actually not be a hypocrite and note that both sides did bad things without consequence???

  16.  @amokwep  America bombed a wedding on accident. Russia slaughtered innocents in Bucha and made mass graves on PURPOSE. One is understandable, the other deserves the noose and executions. We will talk about Russian war crimes, because they are intentional and deserve the treatment of the Nuremberg Trials. Edit: People didn't talk about Russian bombing schools and hospitals in Syria, assuming it was not on purpose. Same deal.

  17.  @katlitoostatic9519  >Russia bombs other countries >US/NATO at fault NATO exists, but countries wouldn't be joining it if Russia wasn't such an imperialist psycho. Mexico and Canada aren't running for protection from the US, because they're smart enough not to piss everyone off for no reason. So yes, its all Russia's fault.

  18.  @ik1408  Tell me when the US actually bombs a city like Russia did Mariupol or Aleppo, then we might believe you that the US killed a million civilians lol

  20.  @SetTrippin82  No, it's not, you lunatic. Mass graves are unique in that they are literally filled with bodies to hide crimes of mass death and destruction. Very few times in history are there "mass graves". Maybe large cemeteries filled with bodies, but NOT mass graves. Think the Mongol sack of Baghdad, or the Holocaust.

  21.  @BimRen246  Everyone gets invaded and screwed over by everyone else. No one has a "chance" to be prosperous to begin with. The US by every right should have failed, but it didn't. No country can afford to do anything less than defend their interests, especially back then.

  22.  @vuklovi2287  The important ones were broken before the US left while the rest is cheap crap that would cost the US to transfer back. Taliban is as much of a joke as it was before the US left; now everyone can see it. They just look prettier. Idk why you even brought that up?

  23.  @vuklovi2287  They're freedom mascots? The US sells them to dictators too; they've never been freedom mascots. They're just toys. And just because you have the damned thing doesn't mean you can remake it; nobody can remake US equipment without US materials, tech, infrastructure, and schematics -its why nobody has actually managed to recreate US equipment unless the US builds their own factories there. I still don't get why you brought this up?

  25.  @shellybelly01  Everyone gets preyed on by everyone else. The fact Haiti couldn't handle it is proof of failure, no more or less. No country or people are special.

  26.  @shellybelly01  Every nation is a victim, that doesn't stop most from building back up. There is no law or justice for countries like for individuals. Grow up. Haiti is always gonna be doomed if you always focus on what "should" have happened instead of thinking of how you can make a better future.
    1
  27.  @shellybelly01  I don't they have tried, no. Because Haiti is still in the same rut as it always has been, and its people complain but don't do anything to change it. A country is a reflection of its people, ultimately. If Haiti and DR's people switched places, not moving any businesses or economies, then DR would just become like Haiti and Haiti would become like DR; because it's the people that matter ultimately. Idk why Haiti paid reparations. I assume it's so that France doesn't come by and bomb Haiti, but I never actually read why Haiti decided to pay. But guess what? All independent colonial nations had to suffer from their colonizer's hand even after winning independence. Spain cost the mainland South American nations gravely with deep depopulation and excursions, the US faced constant attacks by Native British allies while encouraged with British weapons from Canada and literally stealing sailors from US ships, etc, etc. Oh, I care about it. I just acknowledge it as an unfortunate reality that can't be changed because, all nations act like that. Including Haiti. DR's cry about Haiti's invasion of them too, and I tell them off since such things happen to everyone; it's how you move on that matters. And DR managed to. Haiti has never managed to.

  30.  @dmitryletov8138  And by "hostages", you mean "civilians hiding from Russians trying to put them in mass graves", right? What video are you even talking about?

  31.  @aurelianxcbd  One or the other, but considering Russia's penchant for mass graves in this war, the former is the more obvious choice. I wouldn't trust Russian troops at all.

  32.  @aurelianxcbd  Says who? You? 99% of Azov were stuck in Mariupol. What, is the entire Azov Battalion living rent free for you to the point that the entire Army is just Azov? A lot of journos saw the mass graves too, all evidence points to them being made while the Russians occupied it. You can't spin this.

  33.  @aurelianxcbd  >Wants empirical research done by independent journalists with a spreadsheet of scientists to validate a war crime done by people whose state media argues that Ukraine and its identity should not exist >Automatically believes that Azov which has like 5 people in the Kyiv Region did the massacre Your dishonesty is hilarious. Next you'll demand empirical research that the Holocaust was done by the Germans since the Soviets have ever reason to lie for more Allied support.

  36.  @dennis3351  Now why eould anyone in their right minds take Putin's word for anything? His word is worth jackall. He already said he doesn't consider Ukraine's existence to be real, and you want them to not join a defensive alliance on the off chance that he wouldn't attack again???

  37.  @dennis3351  I think they'd rather die than accept peace in such a state. Are you the type of person to kiss up to dictators when they have their jackboot ready? Not everyone is as spineless.

  38.  @op3129  Idk how Roe vs Wade could possibly stand. I don't recall how, but I remember studying it and noting that it didn't make sense to stand Constitutionally. Instead there just should be a framework of Abortion laws on the Federal level rather than a Supreme Court case. It's too unstable. What the people want in this case is immaterial, that's not their decision as the Supreme Court interprets Constitutional law, it isn't meant to be voted on just like the Federal Reserve isn't meant to consult the people either. That being said, this leak is a literally one of the worst attacks on democratic practices since Jan 6th. It attacks the concept of anonymity in the court system and democratic governance. It justifies further attacks like releasing who voted for what on elections and pushes for mob violence to push for differing electoral results. The person who leaked this has to be found and arrested as a traitor, so yes its kinda important.

  40.  @toddmintz4269  Also, you shouldn't be prancing with that Trump 2020 sticker. He's effectively a traitor after he has verbalized the need to sow doubt into the electoral process for the explicit purpose of maintaining the Presidency and afterwards having pushed States to throw away elections for his sake. Not even mentioning him petitioning Putin for dirt on the Democrats. Any US politician doing that should be shunned. If you are for such men, then you can't claim to be for democracy, human rights, the American way, or even for States Rights tbh. Inb4 you talk about whataboutism from the Democrats, which I would agree with to an extent, though Trump is worst than any Democrat currently.

  41.  @milliegirl7514  So then you'll have no issue with Democrat leaders getting leaked in retaliation, right? This is how democracies fall. Thank you, for being an example of it. Disgusting.

  42. ​ @toddmintz4269  Whether you admit it or not, internationally abortion is labelled under "civil rights", sweetheart. Because it has to do with the rights of the individual. The right to remain silent for example from Miranda Rights is not in the Constitution, does that mean that now the police should be able to force you to speak to indict yourself? This is a dangerous mentality for our American liberty -that only rights in the Constitution counts. Yes, and maybe in the future some States will bring back Jim Crow. Again, just because its a majority in the State doesn't make it a positive thing. So a poor woman has to drive to another State to get an abortion? Placing more restrictions on abortion without talking about the issue of poor women being unable to find an abortion clinic nearby and thus needing to either travel 100's of miles while off work, or turn to local black market means. Another criminal element while still having abortion but likely leading to more deaths/injuries. This is a braindead idea, ultimately; it saves no one and brings more money to the black market instead. I'm not mad, tho. I'm being pretty logical. You're the one here that is being very emotionally invested in doing something so fruitless and ultimately hurtful. There is nothing positive about what you want; no silver lining. It doesn't help babies, it doesn't help women, it doesn't help America. It only hurts it while making it a laughingstock. Limit abortion to an extent, but removing it entirely is braindead. It's like forcing everyone to take large tests to have the right to vote in each election, technically not harming civil liberties, but it disproportionally hurts the poor who may not have the time to spend on something like that to vote.

  43. ​ @toddmintz4269  So you're not gonna bother refuting the fact that Abortion is internationally considered a civil right then? I understand overturning Roe vs Wade, but banning abortion is just a needless restriction of civil liberties for no discernable benefit. So why are you for it? Assuming you're not just a reprehensible person, that is.

  44.  @sheilawade433  Trojan Horse implies it was snuck in. It really wasn't; this was a lawful move and function of the Presidency.

  45.  @orawancarlile6192  Only backward nations have castration as a punishment at all. Along with stonings and beheadings. And while I generally agree that abortion should be maintained (not through Roe vs Wade, that was a braindead idea); the idea that abortion is all a woman's decision is itself a flawed one. After all, whether a man likes it or not, he is forcibly responsible for a born child even if he doesn't want it. So the woman's decision should be maintained, but men need an opt out, obviously.

  46.  @sheilawade433  Bruh. You've lost the plot. Touch some grass. And look up the definition of Fascism, because that's not it. What insurrection of Congress, there was a riot in the Capitol but hardly any concerted attempt to seize power -unless you consider every riot to be an insurrection now. And "seizing control" of the Supreme Court by partisan political groups is entirely natural; you were just content it was partisan to YOUR side. Get a grip. The authors of the Constitution warned against ANY partisanism at all. You can't complain about that when you're obviously majorly partisan. I don't support the Rightoids in this, but you Lefties need to get a grip as well as have some perspective.

  47.  @toddmintz4269  Bruh, so you're just gonna ignore the entire Western World's standards, huh? You want to join Afghanistan in its barbarism or something? Idk why you keep talking about the Hyde Amendment, I'm talking about Abortion being a right to get, not being a right to have -as in it isn't the government's job to give abortions when women want one, but it is their job to give them a reasonable opportunity to have one if they want. You may as well claim that Freedom of Speech isn't a civil right by asking "what about screaming Fire in a crowded building???" Do you even know what the Hyde Amendment is? You DO spend tax dollars on it, but only in emergencies when women experience sexual assault and such. Maybe you should go back to school first, you seem awfully ignorant and proud of it.
    1
  48.  @toddmintz4269  Indeed it doesn't, sweetheart. Nor did I imply otherwise. I ask again; why do you want to hurt the American people since banning abortion in several states does nothing but hurt them for no benefit? Why do you want the US to be an international laughingstock?

  49.  @toddmintz4269  Slavery requires government power to maintain and enforce, at least the industrial kind. Abortion does not, it can happen in a clinic, in a hospital, or in a rundown factory in the slums. This is literally just people banning drugs like Cocaine again which led to stupid arrests and a thriving criminal element using drugs as an easy payday at the cost of local communities. Except the black market for this will likely lead to more deaths and poverty in this case. Abortion is considered a civil right because it has to do with the right of the individual, genius. Civil Rights are "the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality". In what world is the RIGHT to, for example, have an eye surgery not a civil right? Of course there is no pressing need for many people to NEED eye surgery, but there is for abortion since people have sex a lot and sometimes poor women are braindead. You keep lying about the tax dollars thing when unlike most civil rights, Abortion actually has tax dollars spent on it; only in certain situation tho. Maybe you should actually read?

  50.  @sheilawade433  Because your extremist language is pretty much the exact reason why the US is stuck in gridlock while external forces fan the flames to keep it busy. YOU are literally the problem along with the Trumpists.
