And your views on abortion do not in any way reflect the views of the majority of registered voters. There lies the problem!
There are many people who believe that abortion is acceptable in certain very specific cases - I’m one of them. But many people who believe as I do also believe that abortion should never have been made a Federal issue.
Just like I always suspected,
Those very same persons who move to red states from blue states, and we wonder why they keep their voting pattern the same -- it's all about abortion.
Low taxes, ok, good schools, ok, able to defend yourself ok, but oh my, I gotta vote for the Dem because they support abortion.
Then the Dem gets in, and lo and behold, the high taxes, less freedom, etc. come in for the ride, along with their pro-abortion policies.
“You believe that you are making a point but you are not. Slavery was never seen as a fringe issue...”
Correct. People at the time rightly recognized it as a civilization-defining issue. As intelligent people today on both sides of the political spectrum recognize abortion as a civilization-defining issue, not a fringe issue. Which is why people on the both the right and the left are so violently passionate about it. You don’t think you would get away with telling Democrats that abortion is a “fringe” issue, would you?
“why are you asking me if I think it was a fringe issue?”
I’ve tried to explain that several times. Because abortion and slavery are both civilization-shaping issues on which no political compromise can ever be reached, and which will continue to be a point of heated conflict in our society until one side wins and one side loses, permanently. We resolved the one issue, but we are yet to resolve the other. But neither of them can be reasonably argued to be “fringe” issues.
Since you do recognize that slavery couldn’t be seen as a “fringe” issue, then perhaps you can ask yourself why it was not a “fringe” issue, and then you may realize why calling abortion a “fringe” issue is such an uninsightful comment on the matter.
Ok, then rule on it in 2023! The Dems seem to know that there are right and wrong times to do stuff like that. Why do you think they are so hellbent on staving off inevitable rising unemployment until after the midterms? Winning elections is the most important thing right now and that decision (that will basically have no major impact on reducing abortion) has made all our jobs harder!
I don’t rule on it - the Court does, and they Did.
The voting block I talked about simply doesn’t care. They want to f everything that moves and be able to terminate the pregancy above all else. They also can help us win elections if we don’t piss them off! The tone deaf view that their votes don’t matter is a major problem!
Duh, I was referring to them!
You sound like a liberal
You lost the debate if that’s your reply to him!
Or her.
“If the life of the mother is at risk...should the woman still be forced to birth the child?”
No. The right to self defense takes precedence there, as you are allowed to defend yourself against another person doing you harm, even if that person is not doing it intentionally or consciously.
“If the woman was a victim of raped...same question.”
That’s two questions, but I won’t hold it against you. I wouldn’t characterize it as her being “forced to birth the child” but rather “prevented from murdering the child”. Killing the child won’t unrape her; it won’t bring any justice either, as the child is innocent. She doesn’t have to raise the child, or bear any responsibility for it after it is born, but allowing a woman to kill an innocent child because she suffered a trauma is not morally justifiable as far as I’m concerned. Same goes for children who are the result of incest.
Duh. You seem to think that the SC is some kind of partisan PAC - which is what leftists obviously want it to be.
So you are gay...Naw it explains everything,.....
“And your views on abortion do not in any way reflect the views of the majority of registered voters. There lies the problem!”
That’s fine. Unlike you, I do not base my views on political expediency, so the popularity of my opinions with the general public have exactly zero impact on what my opinions will be.
So you want to force a woman to go through a pregnancy that was a result of a traumatic event for her, just because?
Ok, well people like you are useless because winning elections and attaining power is how we get our way...not espousing our morality on free republic!
The SC justices vote liberal and conservative depending on their personal political views, thats how it works! They know that their rulings advance their worldview (or don’t if they are on the losing side). Our justices tripped on their d*cks on this one!
“Ok, well people like you are useless because winning elections and attaining power is how we get our way...”
Thus always sayeth the pragmatist, yet it is always the people of principle that define the future of societies, not the pragmatists.
Ignore the trash talk: Republicans can and will win this November

Trash talk is common in sports. Whether it’s lighthearted or nasty, the purpose is the same: to intimidate your opponent and make them lose focus and feel less confident in their ability to win.
Democrats and their friends in the media are engaging in their own form of trash talk when it comes to the midterm elections. They wave around some meaningless poll or quote an “expert” who would have us believe that Republican Senate candidates are weak, President Joe Biden has had some great successes, the Democrats’ fundraising numbers give them a huge advantage, and Republicans can’t possibly win back the Senate.

Rick Scott Savages Mitch McConnell For Trying To Sabotage GOP Senate Races
thefederalist.com ^ | 9/1/22 | Jordan Boyd
Posted on 9/1/2022, 11:50:08 AM by cotton1706
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott wants DC Swamp creatures like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to know that his attempts to squash a GOP victory in the Senate this fall by throwing Republican candidates under the bus are “an amazing act of cowardice” and “treasonous to the conservative cause.”
In a short but fiery opinion editorial published on Thursday, Scott lambasted the “many of the very people responsible for losing the Senate last cycle” who are “now trying to stop us from winning the majority this time by trash-talking our Republican candidates” as “fools.”
“Giving anonymous quotes to help the Washington Post or the New York Times write stories trashing Republicans is the same as working with the Democratic National Committee,” Scott wrote. “If you want to talk about the need to raise more money to promote our candidates versus the Democrats’ terrible candidates, I agree. If you want to trash-talk our candidates to help the Democrats, pipe down. That’s not what leaders do. And Republicans need to be leaders that build up the team and do everything they can to get the entire team over the finish line.”
He never mentions McConnell’s name, but it’s clear from his writing that Scott is unhappy with the leader’s recent negativity towards his own party.
Scott’s rebuke comes just a couple of weeks after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell downplayed Republicans’ chances at winning back the upper chamber.
“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” McConnell said. “Senate races are just different, they’re statewide. Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
