    Are you kidding? I'm sure Justice Brett Daterape Kavanaugh has insisted on his victims girlfriends getting abortions loads of times.

    Yes we're familiar with Justice Kavanaugh's campaign slogan.

    I'm surprised that twink in a wheelchair knows what a Polaroid is, considering Polaroid went out of business when he was in middle school.

    I'm not surprised that he has a middle school understanding of photography and human reproduction.

    I have an idea. We have a way to test if god gives a fuck about abortion. We take little half dude/half brokedick wagon and we bring him to arlington. Then we kick his ass over and take his wheelchair. If he can walk to the supreme court building in time to give his speech then it is a fucking miracle and maybe we listen to his god delusions. If a couple of hours later he is still crying in arlington, we give him his wheelchair back and fuck his fantasy. All god has to do is one small little miracle and heal the cripple. It is what Jesus is known for doing. It also would end a medical procedure that supposedly makes god cry.

    As awful as it it, and as little as this has dissuaded me that Madison Cawthon is a moron of the highest order, I think he's referring to the fetus as the earthen vessel, not the woman.

    It hardly matters. Whether he is referring to the woman or the baby, what he is saying is nonsense. He might as well be saying fetuses are the image of Zeus. And his argument should not be heard in a government chamber.

    On the contrary, his arguments are a splendid example of the kind of open debate we MUST have in Congress. Just because it's a position you don't like does not mean the subject should not be raised. As it happens, I agree that this guy is a moron, but without open debate - with some kind of APPROVED THOUGHT ONLY gatekeeping in Congress, you very quickly go down the path of tyranny.

    I would say it is a very narrow sort of gatekeeping, supported by the establishment clause.

    Maybe, but anyone who pays attention is aware that both "progressives" and "conservatives" want to limit free speech to speech that they already agree with.

    And just then, a SWAT team broke in, and chloroformed Lanzman.
    He awoke in a rendition rape prison, and was never heard from again.

    ...in a dream cloud above his head, because libertarians don't know how the first amendment works no matter how much you explain it to them.

    You realize the First Amendment only protects us from government censorship, right?

    The problem isn’t debate. It’s science. He is discussing his religious views in a government forum. He’s wrong. And so are you.

    Did I ask this already?

    Thoughts from you all on the idea that gay marriage and contraception are up next to be delegalized?

    Oh, absolutely they are.

    When the next civil war breaks out and we hopefully separate the coast from red shit inners, I hope the Republic of California has enough sense to codify this shit into the new Constitution. :brood:

    Should arguments for the legalization of child rape be heard? Should arguments that all non-whites be killed be heard? Should calls to decapitate the POTUS be heard?

    Of course, because when it is not legislated it is only opinion and not defined law. People were saying at the time DOMA was overturned by the courts that you still needed to legislate protections into the constitution.

    The red shit inners should realize something. It is about numbers. You simply cannot protect all that land with so few people. All the cities are blue. Gerrymandering so that large swaths of very low population land have more power than densely populated areas means you lose whose red barely populated areas. Especially now that we have cargo planes that can fly over the farms.

    The red areas need the blue ones to function. There are no farmers out there than can actually farm without fuel and parts for their tractors. I would love to see cleetus make his john deer work off some ethanol. They don't refine oil in the midwest as far as I know.

    It's a rare day when I'm in agreement with her, but Jenee is 100% correct.

    That's not "open debate"; it's religious dogma. The shit coming out of that asshole's mouth has no place in Congress.
