  1. Better than no insurance which is what Republicans want. And for many its still cheaper and more comprehensive than it was before Obama.
  2. No it was Republicans who brought up who can pee in Which bathroom and tried to dictate special rules Also its Congress that approves spending, genius. And Obama was stuck with an obstructionist Congress that publicly and openly bragged that they block all Obama/Dem proposals even the routine normal ones for no reason other than just to own the libs. On the gay cake thing: Funny that you think companies should have the right to deny service to gay people but not to unmasked or unvaccinated people during a contagious disease pandemic
  3. Alito: "Roe v. Wade is an important precedent of the Supreme Court. It was decided in 1973, so it has been on the books for a long time," he said. "It is a precedent that has now been on the books for several decades. It has been challenged. It has been reaffirmed. Gorsuch: "I would tell you that Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, is a precedent of the United States Supreme Court. It has been reaffirmed," he said. "A good judge will consider it as precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court worthy as treatment of precedent like any other." … In the exchange, Gorsuch acknowledged that the Supreme Court had held that a fetus is not a person for the purposes of the 14th Amendment's due process clause, a legal underpinning of Roe v. Wade. "Do you accept that?" asked Durbin. "That is the law of the land. I accept the law of the land, senator, yes," Gorsuch replied. Kavanaugh: "It is settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court, entitled the respect under principles of stare decisis. The Supreme Court has recognized the right to abortion since the 1973 Roe v. Wade case. It has reaffirmed it many times." Roberts, (on overturning Roe, a “settled precedent of the court”): "I do think that it is a jolt to the legal system when you overrule a precedent. Precedent plays an important role in promoting stability and evenhandedness," he said then.
  4. Us infrastructure has been in shambles since Reagan. Still is. Trump did nothing to change any of it.
  5. Yeah it’s not like millions of Americans gained health insurance coverage under something called Obamacare or anything. ? Coverage Republicans want to strip away and give nothing in return
  6. 1. Par for the course, Republican senate candidate arrested after attacking black woman and punching her in the head multiple times at anti-abortion rally. And….he also happens to he an off-duty cop. But they’re not anti-woman and I’m sure he’s a fine and totally unbiased police officer when he’s on duty ? https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3537210-rhode-island-state-senate-candidate-suspends-campaign-after-video-shows-him-hitting-opponent-at-protest/amp/ 2. Every single Republican SC Justice vowed not to overturn Roe v Wade during their respective confirmation hearings. So I guess they’re liars in addition to be being Republican stooges 3. Donald Trump in 1999: ‘I am Very Pro-Choice’ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp-video/mmvo43407429521
  7. I already asked: How many unwanted babies have you adopted? Your friends and family members? Still waiting for your answer
  8. But but it doesn’t say AR-15 and they only had muskets and flintlocks back then so clearly it only applies to those kind of weapons tight? Militias were a force of part-time citizen-soldiers who provided military and/or law enforcement services (often both) to their community on a part-time basis. Militiamen often used their own privately owned weapons for their duty. Clearly this law is the right of people to keep and bear arms for the purpose of allowing a well-reguted militia. But the point is the right wing judges are not “originalist” or “literalist” when it comes to interpreting the second amendment in the age of the AR-15. They are progressive evolutionists. They are only literalists and “originalists” when it comes to interpreting rights of women and minorities who weren’t even considered people by those who wrote the constitution over 200 years ago.
  9. I don’t need to be fine with it it’s not my place to decide. What I’m fine with is leaving that up to women and medical professionals and the experts responsible for regulating such activity. Grandstanding politicians, who have no medical expertise, and threats under the criminal code have no legitimate role to play here. There are already criminal code provisions that address medical malpractice in the event that doctor unnecessarily amputates a limb or withdraws life support etc without proper reason or authority and those would also apply to unnecessary/ unreasonable late abortions.
  10. Yep. Are you under the false impression that people went to jail for not being vaxxed?
  11. At least you’re finally admitting that Republicans are trying to make America similar to Muslim countries. That’s something we’ve been saying about them for a couple of decades now. Abortion is a medical procedure and it is regulated the same way as any other medical procedure. What’s “allowed” is what is determined by medical regulations…NOT CRIMINAL LAW. For example there aren’t criminal laws that explicitly prevent a doctor from amputating your hand to treat a paper cut. That doesn’t mean it’s allowed or that it happens or that silly women will seek it out unless conservative men threaten them with imprisonment. Get it? In Canada we have no criminal laws against abortion but late abortions are extremely, extremely, extremely rare and for very very very extreme and rare reasons that require extensive documentation…not because criminal law requires it but because medical standards do. One of the things that makes conservatives so fascist is their need to criminalize everything they don’t like. In their fascist eyes, the only way to regulate something that needs regulating is to make it punishable by death or imprisonment.
  12. A fertilized egg is not a baby. And is in mo way similar to a person in a coma. Shapiro is so fucking stupid. Isn’t he the guy who so proudly boasted that he’s never made his wife’s pussy wet? That was during his pathetic attempt to censor a female rap song that he found too vulgar. So much for being a “free speech activist ”
  13. Half a century of jurisprudence says the 14th amendment applies to abortion. Moreover, The second amendment doesn’t mention anything about bump stocks, assault rifles or concealed carry permits. It also clearly states that the right to bear arms is within the context of a “well-regulated militia”…but the current right wing judges “interpret” the second amendment to apply to nearly all modern firearms and accessories and that the militia reference as irrelevant in modern times. They seem to be pretty selective and biased when deciding when to take the constitution literally and when to be interpretive, don’t you think?
  14. You two hypocrites don’t think the people should be allowed to govern themselves when it comes to owning guns now do you? You people are all for “rule by decree” when it comes to a woman’s autonomy over her own body, but a man’s gun collecting hobby is sacrosanct in your hypocritical eyes And none of you Putin-lovers have any place accusing others of being undemocratic while you openly favour a brutal dictator over democratic governments.
  15. Zero. But I’m not an anti-abortionist claiming that unwanted babies will be adopted. How about yot? geti it? *sigh* of course you don’t
  16. Pretty ironic that you would make this claim while celebrating Republicans overturning a half century of legal precedent. It’s clearly Republicans who have moved away from the centre….at least on this issue. As you said, they’ve move away from their roots. They are no longer the party of choice for southern conservatives, Dem support for Civil Rights being the reason.
  17. The number of people who claim to be anti-abortion and advocate adoption seems exponentially larger than the anti-abortionists actually willing to adopt unwanted children, especially children of colour. I wonder how many of the anti-abortionists on this forum have adopted unwanted children. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
  18. Sounds like she was quickly caught because the system works, and there was evidence to prove it, which supports the fact that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen amd no evidence has been found to suggest otherwise.
  19. Hilarious. Republicans boycotted the committee and declared that any Republican who participates is a traitor. Now as soon as Trump complains that he has no representation on the committee….from his lips to yours. You just shamelessly parrot Dear Leader.
  20. Whatever you do don’t become an accountant tour match sucks. LMAO You crack me up. The Democrats have no wins against Trump the failed ONE-TERM PRESIDENT. Pretty hard not to count that little winning the presidential election thing as a win, don’t you think? Plus all Trump’s criminal associates who were convicted of various crimes, those are kind of wins too. So were all 60+ failed election lie lawsuits, and all the fruitless Republican witch-hunt election audits that came up empty handed…. those might not have bee Democrat wins since they weren’t involved but certainly they were Trump losses.
  21. Wow. It’s almost like there was a contagious disease pandemic and large gatherings were discouraged or something
  22. Oh well that PROVES the election was stolen then. Beyond a doubt. Congratulations you found your smoking gun ?
  23. No, you don’t get it. The money was distributed to local governments , including many Republican ones, not to democrat causes or campaigns. And again like your 2000 mules nonsense there’s no actual evidence of wrongdoing as all election results were reviewed and validated even by Republican witchhunters. Your extreme partisanship blinds you
