What is plenty? Certainly not a majority. If men don't want it to be men vs women, men should stay out of it because abortions do not apply to them.

You aren’t talking about leadership. Forcing someone else to do something you will never have to do isn’t leadership, it’s coercion. Leaders lead by example. You would make them ask the state. What’s the difference?

Letting state politicians continue to decide who has rights was their first mistake. Politicizing the Supreme Court and making it a lifetime appointment was their second. All the rights women received in the 20th century were not in the Constitution. All the rights black people received since independence were not in the constitution. Nor were they granted by states.

Gun ownership. Switzerland vs US. https://bigthink.com/the-present/switzerland-high-gun-ownership/

US federal background checks are a joke. A phone call and a quick check of a database and it is done. Also, they aren't required for private sales. Although registering firearms is not a bad thing, the long gun registry was an expensive and unnecessary. There was no fee for registering a long gun. Per capita, there are half as many guns in Switzerland than in the US. https://www.fedpol.admin.ch/fedpol/en/home/sicherheit/waffen/waffentragen.html

I don't care about the US constitution. You are digging your own grave.

But you keep going on about how a foetus is a person and has rights.

Show me in the Constitution where it says a foetus is a person. Show me in the Constitution where it says a foetus has rights.

In your world, rights only apply to those strong enough to take them. What good is a national supreme court if the rights it is supposed to protect don't apply to everyone. Might as well get rid of it.

Rights are rights. They had a civil war over the right to enslave people.

So she got a manslaughter conviction for drug use? So, is addiction a medical issue or a crime in your world? Funny but there aren't any affluent white women who seem to be charged with having miscarriages due to substance abuse. I guess none of them do drugs or drink.

What disinformation. Abortions are not done in Canada after 20 months except under extreme circumstances. Only 1% of abortions in the US are done after 20 months so the same criteria pretty much applies there. Your BS about thousands of kids being ripped apart in late term abortions is the real disinformation. As a matter of fact, the majority of abortions are not done surgically.

Yes, populism created emperors, it destroyed any democracy. That is what the US is teetering on the brink of when it engages in things like the Cult of Trump. Will the US end up with emperors for the next 450 years? I doubt it will last that long the way it is going.

All Americans are supposed to have the same rights. Obviously this supreme court doesn't think so.

No she can't. We don't do abortions after 20 weeks. This was their third try after two miscarriages. In some US states she might have had to worry about a manslaughter charge after her miscarriages. The idea that some dumb fuck right wing politicians get to decide which women can be charged for having a miscarriage is right out of the stone age.

He attacked his own country. Right.

Donbas is part of Ukraine.

Ya, all of Trumps administration are liars. He only hires liars.

How the fuck is allowing women to chose what happens to their own reproduction system controlling men? Why should a woman have to ask you for permission to do something that has nothing to do with you?

What's puritanical about recycling and composting? What's puritanical about being against people getting rid of their garbage where ever they please?

Good thing for her the wall was on the Russian side and not the NATO side. Why are you pointing the finger at Ukraine for creating refugees? They didn't invade anyone.

It means American women are at the mercy of state governments dominated by the religious right. The supreme court abandoned its responsibility to protect the rights of all its citizens.

I voted for between 3 and 5, which is what we already have.
