Politics And Current Events

Again, Roe v Wade was an objectively bad decision... Trying to find a right to abortion in the 14th amendment is an exercise in thinking outside the box, as it were.

That said, it's been settled law for 50 years. I honestly liked Robert's interpretation/ruling the most. He recognized that the decision was flawed but also recognized that overturning it now would create a dangerous situation in more ways than one.

Most "pro life" (not you, Beveridge) aren't really pro life at all. They're in favor of the death penalty, whine about programs like food stamps and WIC, refused to cooperate with covid precautions, etc. They're not pro-life. They're anti-choice.

This is also going to disproportionately affect poor black people. Look at how bad the familial situation is across that demographic and just imagine that it's going to get much worse imo.

Poor whites all over the southern US too.

Yep. Middle and upper class millennials will just drive or fly to a blue state.

The GOP is the party of freedom except for everything that they disagree with

[mikey]

Those attempted axioms are always silly...the left is liberal about everything except for the stuff they don't want you to do or say...that's probably the most obvious "both sides" of all time...

Sorry just doing a little silly political goofin

I have no idea who this woman is but I love her:

I know I said it a week or so ago, but it bears repeating:

If we didn't live in the US and saw what has been happening within the last month+, we all (lib and conservative) would be talking about how much of a **** hole the US is.

The era of "American Exceptionalism" is over.

But hey, at least you can **** your sister with no repercussion.

This is a decision that affects me way less than those people. But the GOP poor people that voted/support for this and are going to have a much harder time because of it. Thoughts, prayers, and the child suffers longer.

Which is the shame in all of this. All these kids born, kicked to the curb.

I heard today that there are actually people out there who are against abortion even in the case of ectopic pregnancies. I guess I’m not convinced there are more than a few. If those few would like to stop by my house and tell my wife she should have died along with the baby we agonizingly lost who was never going to have any chance of being viable, let me know so I can start the popcorn.

I think people should be against elective abortions to their hearts content. But the alternative to legal abortions is infinitely worse for people.

Anyone want to try and convince me they don't go for gay marriage next?

What happens to those currently married? Annulment?

To be fair, she is the prettiest girl in 3 counties except for that one pig on the Henderson’s farm.

Following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, DICK’s Sporting Goods announced they will be reimbursing employees in states who must travel to access abortions.

In a statement issued by Lauren Hobart, CEO, and Ed Stack Executive Chairmen, they announced they will offer up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement for employees to travel to the nearest location where that care is legally available. This will be offered to any teammate, spouse or dependent that is enrolled in the DICK’s Sporting Goods medical plan, along with one support person.


We recognize people feel passionately about this topic — and that there are teammates and athletse who will not agree with this decision. However, we also recognize that decision involving health and familes are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration. We are making this decision so our teammates can access the same health care options, regardless of where they live, and choose what is best for them.

Corporate wokeness run amok.

Something, something, God’s will.

If I knew anyone that was anti abortion in ectopic pregnancies (and other severe situations), I would tell them to **** right off. That includes anyone in my congregation.

Imo one of the bigger problems happening in this country is religion taking over political decisions and airtime.

I honestly would have guessed things would have been going in the opposite direction, where things are becoming more post-religious. I think there is a lot of that but damn if there don’t seem to be a lot of Mastriano types who want to see the USA become the Christian equivalent of Saudi Arabia. **** off with that ****.

While we’re passing the blame around for this, I’d like to include the Bernie bro psychos. PA, MI, WI in 2016 had a smaller margin of victory for trump than the number of people that voted Bernie in the primary and then trump in the general election.

I voted Bernie and then Hillary because I’m a grown up that realized at that point you swallow your ideological views and you vote the lesser of the two evils. We all knew at the time what trump was and is capable of doing. We’re seeing it play out well after he’s gone.
