Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Suppressed Poet]

The thing with leftists is you could make abortion completely legal at any stage, with the only exception being partial birth abortion, and they'll still have 24/7 meltdowns over it because they didn't get their way 100%.

You can't please leftists no matter what you do, because you can't reason with the unreasonable. The sooner republicans realize this and abandon this "taking the high road" dumb fuckery, the better off we'll all be.

It does seem that way, doesn’t it? We have historically done that with gun control, and look where that brought us. It’s never enough.

The thing is though, in a democratic republic such as ours…for government to function correctly it requires compromise. Both parties be reasonable though. If that’s no longer possible we are all eff’d.

I’m regards to your wife, what happens if the mother has mental issues, doesn’t have a suitable job, in an abusive relationship, has a drug/drinking problem or is unfit to raise and care for a child? Should these be grounds for an abortion as well?

I say no. That’s why we have child protective services. If the mother is truly unfit to care for a child, we have something in place today to address that.

Here is the first problem with the viability argument. If you become quadriplegic, can we murder you since you are not viable? What about in a coma, can we murder you then? Mentally deficient like an IQ of 30 or something, never going to be able to even stand or dress yourself alone, can we murder you then? The list goes on an on and it isn't pretty since, just like the stupid Leftist argument supporting pedophilia because it's the next step after sexualizing children, the argument is like-for-life reasoning. It's the slippery slope and like most of them, not an intellectual fact but indeed a social reality.

Next comes the fact that "viability" is different depending on science, location and situation. Viability is also subject to interpretation a strong legal definition can and will be attacked by both sides nearly endlessly.

This right here is why this whole Roe v. Wade situation, for the past 40+ years, is solely a political football to anger idiots during election cycles - just as race is used every election cycle, then forgot about by the politicians....

90% of the country thinks it would be a reasonable compromise to pass a law that allows abortions up to "viability". I define "viability" as the youngest child ever born, to survive - currently 21 weeks or there about. Past this date, abortions to save the mother's life.

Instead of just making a law, passing it in Congress, and settling this annoying as fuck political talking point, they don't do anything. Problem is, the Left will never allow it to be resolved - because again... they do not create, they only complain... and they need "problems" to exist, to incite the victim mentality in people, and retain power.

It's disgusting that it's done, and it's disgusting that people fall for it.

It's red states denying access to abortion. It's Republicans in Congress that have denied any legislation in Roe and if you think there was a warp speed push to codify it when it was thought to be bedrock, settled law, then you're mistaken.

Abortion rights bills are pending right now, wait to see Republicans from blocking any movement or compromise whatsoever.

We’re getting somewhere but why make mandatory amniocentesis? People can decide that on their own if they want that or not, just as they can decide to go through with a pregnancy or not to a baby that will have Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome are still people. I know a couple parents of Down syndrome children, and both have told me how much joy it has brought to their lives despite the hardship.

Edit: Or even other diseases likely to bring death to a child in infancy…I still think it’s the parent’s decision to test and/or decide that for themselves. Why make that mandatory?

Last: I could compromise to allow an abortion after 24 weeks or whatever number if a doctor deems it medically necessary for the survival of the mother. Those details would have to be worked out, but sure.

People birthed with any disease are still people, the purpose of an amnio is to give the parents the best chance of successfully raising a child with deformations or disease by preparing them well in advance. If they choose not to carry to term when informed, that is the power of the right to choose.

There have been two Downs babies born in my family, my niece and a cousin. My niece is doing wonderfully at age 16, my cousin unfortunately did not make it to her second year due to severe heart defects. Even knowing all our family does now, there's not a single one of us (myself included) who wouldn't fight someone for insinuating they should have been terminated. But that was my sister's choice and my aunts choice. No one else.

The only one splitting hairs here is you.

Amazing how the alt-left freaks, like yourself, want everyone to move mountains for 7% but when it comes to killing babies the "small minority" no longer matters.

People like you want to dictate the rights of an entire nation by the religious minority composing that 19%. No logic, no reason, just your flying spaghetti monster being misinterpreted causes you all to lose your minds trying to run everyone's lives. It's amazing how much Republicans now want to dictate everything from health, child bearing, education and military service. You've forgotten you Libertarian roots.

Whoa slow down dude, there's no need to call out Seran personally...

If only you have a shred of self awareness, you'd realize how hilariously ironic, and I mean that in the most retarded way possible, your post is.

I'm not the one denying scientific fact.

You've forgotten you Libertarian roots.

The right to life should be the number one issue for every libertarian, without that right the rest of the rights don't matter.

Who's running whos life when they demand they should be able to murder the voiceless innocent?
