Reps should of had a slam dunk win in Nov, now this ruling has pumped up Dems...I mean along with the fact Reps might just end the republic. 

What is your reasoning for thinking “Reps should of had a slam dunk win in Nov”?

AOC is now arguing that Roe vs Wade was not the law of the land for the past 50 years. But the best statement from her is that she "believes" perjury is an impeachable offense, which is like saying I believe water is necessary for life, it is not a belief it is a fact

Simple question - should the government force you to get a vasectomy?

All I  asked is for anyone supporting the idea the Constitution protects the "right" to an abortion is for them to identify which Article or Amendment grants that right.  There are some 7 Articles and 27 Amendments.  Pick one.

Well the Red States will need to spend a fortune on new foster care. I doubt they start building orphanages . Not to worry the right wing of the Supreme Court will figure it out.

That’s not the Supreme Court’s job.

Catholic and Evangelical Ministries are already stepping up efforts in these states to provide, not just help during the pregnancy, but 2-3 years of assistance for the mother after they have the child, plus help in getting them on their feet after.  
 

This is what’s needed.  A community effort of like minded people that value life and put their money, time and attention where their mouth is.  
 

The government can’t solve all of our problems.

The Democrats’ lies on abortion since SCOTUS’ overruling of Roe v. Wade

by Miranda Devine

 

Abortion enthusiasts have been telling so many lies since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, it’s hard to take them seriously.

 

Now President Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are salivating at the prospect that “abortion is on the ballot,” as opposed to inflation, crime, border security and all the issues that have the Democrats under water and without a viable policy.

 

But abortion may not be the electoral game-changer they hope for, and largely that’s because the lies they tell themselves and their supporters have caused them to lose touch with the reality of America.

I agree. Compromise is needed on all sides. I would suggest that abortion be made legal everywhere during the first 3-4 months of pregnancy. Make it illegal everywhere after 7 months. Between 4-7 months, states can do what they want.

That’s kind of where we were headed if the Court had 3 more John Roberts clones instead of 3 Robert Bork clones.

The 9th and the 14th amendments, generally.

 

When the Bill of Rights was being debated, some founders opposed the idea, thinking that listing out rights would imply that anything not on the list would not be a right. It would be impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of all rights people were entitled to, so any list would be inherently deficient. Such a list could also be used to curtail rights that were not enumerated in the document.

 

This is where the 9th amendment and unenumerated rights come from. Unenumerated rights are simply rights that are inferred from other rights or laws that are more explicitly spelled out.

 

The 9th Amendment, ratified with the Bill of Rights in 1789, reads:

Quote

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

 

This is to combat the argument that the Bill of Rights is exhaustive of all rights and that any rights not appearing in any amendment are therefore not constitutional rights. The default position is that just because a right does not appear in the text does not mean it does not exist.

 

Section one of the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, reads (emphasis mine):

Quote

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

 

This is where the Supreme Court finds a right to privacy for Americans and their right to make personal decisions about their family without intrusive government interference.

It’s not their job to figure anything out so being sarcastic or not, it does not really make any sense. 

 

If it's not the job of the Supreme Court to figure out and interpret the Constitution then what is their job

 

"As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution."

They did do that. It's not their job to legislate past their rulings. That's the states' job. Because that was the ruling.

The protesters of the ruling that I've seen strike me as people of walmart... the people that support it strike me as Target/mall people. 

Thats interesting.  Pro-choice is prevalent amongst the more educated, higher income, and younger population.  Pro-life is most popular among low-income, less educated Americans.

The first time a church says it will deny communion to anyone who agrees with abortion is the time that church should lose all tax exempt status.  I am not saying a church should support it as I understand why they wouldn't, but if Jesus can forgive the criminal hanging next to him on the cross, then it is not the church's place to pass judgement and deny people for things the church disagrees with.  If the church wants to be political, it can pay taxes like anyone else.

I have a real question- what will be policy for companies that are paying for women to travel to get abortions if women travels and then changes her mind? I know it happens sometimes but what is to stop a women from simply traveling for a vacation when she gets pregnant? I just see a lot of privacy issues popping up from these policies that will be interesting to watch.

I don’t know how I feel about denying Communion to individuals with opinions counter to the Church, but I do agree with denying it to people like Biden and Pelosi, supposed Catholics, who are actively working to make America have the most aggressive abortion access in the entire world … something completely counter to the churches teachings.

I’m pro life but have no problem if a company wants to expand its health insurance plan to reimburses employees for travel to receive covered procedures. I’m sure people travel for cancer treatment or to see specialists. However, the issue will be with the insurance carrier if it turns out a fraud has been perpetrated. Years ago my wife had her appendix rupture while we were on a cruise. The carrier asked some questions but ultimately paid for the procedure.

Women just can't be trusted, man.  I advise all of you to continue to be wildly unattractive to them.
