President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah, thanks. Also, good luck with your redeemable qualities.

 

Robot jokes and disagreements aside, Rick, I appreciate a thoughtful response. We are in agreement on the horrifying nature of the story and its outcome.

 

Yeah. Sucks to have government involved in private medical decisions, isn't it?

 

How do you know God isn't telling women to have abortions so he can have those fetuses in heaven sooner?

The Lod does work in mysterious ways. Or so I am told.

 

We've been down this road before. You fell off the turnip truck right at the start.

 

Saved for your Hall of Fame plaque.

 

Fuck it, if we are gonna have an abortion-jack, we are gonna have an abortion jack.

I've been thinking a lot lately about why we can't see a moderate movement emerge in the US, and this issue is really it.

Every other issues, I can imagine scenarios where someone could come along and bridge the gap in ways that leave the Randians and full socialists mad but keeps the country running somewhat efficiently.

But there is never, ever going to be a bridge between people who believe that God implants a soul the moment a sperm and egg touch and people who believe that until the cord is severed the woman's privacy is the only right involved. Both stances seem ludicrous to me, but I'm not running for office so I can afford to say that.

It's the issue that drove the American church straight into the arms of rich plutocrats obsessed with tax breaks.

 

You'd think somebody who invents a Civil War battle would remember the human trafficking aspect of the nation that elected him.

 

Isn't the criticism supposed to be that the government made the decision on the baby's health instead of the parents? And with an abortion ban, wouldn't that be the government making a decision for the woman?

 

Noah and his ark is such a cute bedtime story. That is, until you realize babies were also caught in the flood.

 

Please, just ... stop.

 

Even if you applied a 0.6 multiplier (I am recently assured this was a "good thing") to all the guests on the Middle Passage, this one still doesn't pencil out.
