    Stop and try to think through that scenario logically for a few minutes, and I think you'll discover a lot of other problems with it.

    "Hopes and prayers" for every school schooting since Columbine lost the right the privilege of pretending they give a fuck about kids.
    I'm not playing that game with them anymore.
    Abortion? Fuck off.
    Qanon shit? Fuck off.
    CRT? Fuck off.
    "Transes are groomers!" fuck right off to Christian Hell.

    Nope, equality is what the left wants, therefore they have to accept and acknowledge rights that they don’t like as well.

    Gosh, you're so clever, we totally can't see through you.
    Your true motivations are an absolute mystery to our teeny liberal brains.

    Enemies mean you harm.
    To your person, and to what you care about.
    I care about Democracy.
    MAGA/Qers made it pretty damned clear they mean harm to Democracy.
    And physical harm to those who would protect it.

    I choose my words carefully, and properly.

    The lad is slow.
    You have to repeat things like the right-wing media does.
    They figured that out from Teletubbies.
    Babies and dull witted people are kind of alike.
    And by "kind of" I mean fucking indistinguishable.

    You say that as thought there aren't a significant number of them who don't already subscribe to that idea.

    I said what I said based on researched fact that such restrictions do more harm than good in cases of emergency (to which the vast majority of abortions after 14 weeks and all of them in the third trimester fall under). We don't need to keep kowtowing to the right,who have proven nothing short of a full on Ireland-style ban will satisfy them.

    My right to defend myself is fundamental to life and liberty, but that’s not a prerequisite to having my rights protected. You think that women’s rights are more important and more protected than everyone’s rights.

    no, I think that medical decisions belong to an individual, but you knew that.



    which brings us back to what are you defending yourself from?

    The Confederacy once was an enemy of the United States, yet Lincoln felt is was important if not vital to the country to bring the former confederate states and it's citizens back into the union, "with malice toward none", and this after four years of bloody war.

    January sixth was one day of rioting, yet you and people like you, including Biden despite his talk of peace, want to continue to sew division. Why is it that Lincoln fought so hard to preserve the Union if these men were so irredeemable?

    Why was he no longer willing to call them enemies after a long bloody war, but this small group of rioters that accomplished nothing are too irredeemable and must be labeled enemies? How is this rhetoric going to heal this nation or move us forward in any positive way?

    You realize that what you're saying is that you support partial birth abortion, right? This is something the left has been denying for years that they support, yet here you are saying that you support it.

    Yes they are criminals and last time I checked, a good number of them are being punished for their crimes.

    I see you ignored the "medically required" part of what I said, but that's okay, I'm sure you'll get to reading comprehension in English class this semester :itsokay:

    "partial birth abortion"

    okay, let's look at this for a moment.

    first off, after 20 weeks, this isn't an elective procedure. There's going to be a medical issue with the fetus' viability or the mother's survivability by carrying it to term as was likely her intent.

    second off, a fetus isn't "partially born" at this stage being about 6" long and weighing maybe 3/4 of a pound. You remove it from the host, it dies... that simple. It's vaguely humanoid, but isn't a human any more than a roll of cookie dough is a plate of edible cookies.

    why do right wingers like yourself expect women to be incubators?

    No, @Shirogayne said there should be no limits on abortion, therefore the mother could be in the middle of giving birth then decide that she doesn’t want to have the baby anymore and decides to get an abortion instead.

    No limits means I can mow down 3rd graders!
    That's exactly what Shirogayne said!

    What's a "reducto ad absurdum"?
    Is that a kind of abortion pill?

    Jesus Christ.

    This happens only in your deranged fantasy world.

    When somebody has an extremely late term abortion, it's not because she wants to.
