TBayXXXVII 2,121 Posted April 10 5 minutes ago, The Real timschochet said: This argument makes no sense, People should not be allowed to vote about fundamental rights. I don’t care if it’s the federal government, state government or a small village. You don’t get to vote on this. If abortion is murder, then it’s murder and a majority of people voting otherwise doesn’t make it OK. If a woman should have the right to choose what she wants with her own body, then she has that right and a majority of people voting otherwise doesn’t make a restriction OK. We had this exact same debate over slavery before the Civil War. A bunch of people who were trying to put off the fundamental issue said “let’s let each state decide for itself”. It was called Popular Sovereignty. It doesn’t work because you cant let mob rule decide the fate of individuals. No kidding dumbazz! I've said Day 1, about abortion, that it doesn't belong in the government purview. It's a medical issue... it's a form of elective surgery. That's where it belongs. If a woman wants a boob job, she pays for it. If Dad is fat and wants lypo, he pays for it. It's all the same thing. For some stupid reason, this became a political football. If the degenerate wants to kill her kid, let her go to the doctor and have him kill it for her... then she can pay the bill. I'm willing to bet that if a Trump made that an EO, the only people upset would be Democrats.... of course, but overall, the country would be happy. If it were Biden (God help us if that scumbag piece of trash wins), then it'll be Republican's who are upset. It's the way our country is these days... thanks to Democrats circa 2007 with their political ideology bull crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said your complaints about paying for it short sighted because not paying for it will cost more in the long run. HTH You did when you said the government pays for it. In that scenario, she no longer has to bare the responsibility of her actions and is free to go around being a on the governments dime. Make her pay the money and be done with it. Here's the kicker... in the end, it'll end up being covered by medical insurance (though, government funded insurance should not cover it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF it turns out to be a huge loser for the GOP it's because there are a bunch of dumb liberal and independent voters that aren't smart enough understand they actually control their own destiny. The ONLY reason you're seeing a GOP shift now is BECAUSE it's a big loser. That's undeniable. AND, people controlled their own destiny BEFORE Roe was overturned. They had the decision to have an abortion or not. Now that it sits with the states, it's up to their state legislatures and the only control they have now is with their own vote IF the question shows up on the ballot, or IF the candidate gets elected AND they have enough votes to affect legislation. Until ANY of that happens, NO Control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,212 Posted April 10 2 hours ago, Jose M said: Scream at the sky guy. It's going to be on the ballot in AZ in November. The people get to decide. BFD. Just like SCOTUS and Trump said. The BFD to you is that this will rally a lot of voters in AZ who otherwise wouldn't have bothered to go vote for Joe Biden, because he is as exciting as a pile of dirt. But while they are voting for abortion, they'll toss Biden a vote. And walla, we are officially blue in AZ. The additional BFD to me is that this will put into our constitution the right to kill your unborn baby until viability, currently 23-24 weeks. ( I'm not sure how they are going to manage that). It seemed on a trajectory to lose, but now, notsomuch. AZ Reps (who control our legislature) need to get their heads out of their asses and pass a law allowing abortion up to a reasonable time, say, 15 weeks like the last one that got overturned. Diffuse this situation, get a better outcome, both for abortion and for POTUS election. I doubt they will tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course Trump runs the party, It's just funny to see you call him THE BOSS like a teenage fanboy Ladies man? Maybe rapist but OK. More teenage fanboy I guess. Do you have his poster on your wall? Of course Trump was pro-abortion. He was a democrat way back when. But in order to get power and stay in power he made a deal with the right and evangelicals specifically. He could get power by delivering tax cuts and SC nominations that would overturn Roe, and that's what he did. Now that abortion is a big loser for him, he's changing course again, at least publicly, and he's trying to have it both ways. He's trying to take credit for overturning Roe while saying it's up to the states to decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jose M 49 Posted April 10 40 minutes ago, thegeneral said: The orange leader who parades them around has gone from a federal ban to states decide in a few weeks. Link? In January 2023 Trump addressed the mid-term issues. Quote “It was the ‘abortion issue,’ poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the Mother, that lost large numbers of Voters.” In September 2023 Trump said he would be a voice of consensus on abortion. Quote “Let me just tell you what I’d do, I’m going to come together with all groups, and we’re going to have something that’s acceptable.” In February 2024 the Trump campaign responded to reports about a national ban as Quote "Fake News" It was the fake news that you, low IQ, probably fell for. March 2024 Quote “The number of weeks now, people are agreeing on 15, and I’m thinking in terms of that, and it’ll come out to something that’s very reasonable,” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
