RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg

We can have views, just dont preach to me why me being a Republican leaning person. Is me being a traitor to black people thank you👌🏿

My bad, I thought you meant me because I used the word literally earlier. But yeah, now you know what I’m chillin’ to so there’s that.

It’s not just on her.

There isn’t a Child yet and that is a religious question for someone to answer.

Why do you think the government should tell other’s their own religious beliefs? Why should the government be in the room with someone and their doctor other than to keep them safe?

(Judaism has practiced a baby isn’t alive until it’s first breath as Genesis shows)

I understand. But that’s because you can’t look outside your box. I don’t think you even realize there is an outside of your box or that if there is it must be evil and you have to fight against it. It’s not going to end well if this the way we have to look at each other.

And you’re putting up your hope that they want actual changs, instead of looking for ways to profit from it as well. “Yeah, we’re gonna change that. Vote for me, I promise.”

And you call me a dork for believing in God. :upside_down_face:

She was 81 and had a life expectancy into her 90s. The truth is, she died unexpectedly early, just like Scalia.

Yes.

She still wrote better reasoned opinions than her younger compatriots on the left, just as Scalia did on the right.

Perhaps the left can take consolation in the Chief Justice’s rapid drift in their direction.

Uh… no, birth control is used for many reasons, but in terms of pregnancy they don’t want it to fail. If a better option existed without worry of fail, they’d take it.

You realize how long it takes for a fetus to even start forming anything more than a small cluster of cells, right? And pregnancy tests aren’t instant. They require time, and it’s also a huge step that many who are recovering from trauma may not want to experience - plus without actively taking pregnancy tests every time you’re intimate with someone in a way that might lead to pregnancy - no matter how much protection you use - and again, after the appropriate period of time - there is no way to actually determine you’re pregnant until at the very least 4 weeks, if not even more so.

For an accurate result, it’s recommended to wait until at least a week after you’ve missed a period - otherwise the tests may not be accurate.

I get that it’s a big issue for you and it’s personal, and I respect that, but the choice of a woman shouldn’t be taken away from her until they’ve had every opportunity and didn’t take it. Plus this also brings up another issue, most that are, “pro-life” are pro-birth and do not care about the child after it’s born.

It’s a nice thought, but that’s how it is. The people who want to get to the top do anything to get it, including selling out. I hate to tell you, but life isn’t fair.

I mean, they’re the only ones fighting for it. And at the very least the corporatist Democrats are pushing for better health care right now, even if it’s not MFA.

It’s better than voting for the party that has shown they have no plan - they’ve weakened the ACA but have put out no health care bill.

No, I say that you believe without evidence. There’s plenty of things people believe in that they don’t have a solid foundation to - and that’s fine, so long as your religious morals and ideals end where your nose does. I personally care about truth, which is why I’m not religious.

I won’t knock you for being religious, I just ask that anyone religious separates their religion from others.

But life doesn’t have to remain unfair.

That’s the point. It’s only unfair if you sit around and don’t challenge it. If you’re a doomer who takes it up the bum and accepts the hand you’re dealt, you’ll never get anywhere.

All people = do what you said.

Can you prove this happens in every single instance of every single politician?

Or do you mean some, which would be more rational?

Also, have you been paying attention to your local government?

The Federal Government was designed to be slow from its inception. Local governments act faster, they get quite a bit done.

Like climate change, or political beliefs. :slight_smile:

Nah. US is still amazing on so many levels, don’t get it twisted. Our quality and ease of life is still insanely good. People who think otherwise have never traveled to actual countries with severe issues.

$50 my left cheek.

We have evidence supporting there is a climate change.

The debate, scientifically, is if it’s man-made and how much man can actually do anything about it.

She supported abortion and birth control, so I don’t support her policies or legacies. However, I wish her well and hope all the best for her in the hereafter.

Not the point.

The current President’s nominations have been more true to the Republican small government traditions than the previous Republican’s neoliberal nominees were. I was pleasantly surprised.

Maybe you didn’t care for the “stimulus” bill or the PPACA, but that was a lot of legislation.

Sanders is. A number of Democrat Representatives are. I don’t think many, or even any, other Democrat Senators admit to it.

No he wouldn’t. Europe is mostly Social Democracies, which have mixed economies. Sanders is Democratic Socialist, which is straight socialist economics with a democratically elected government - a combination which never lasts long.

The numbers say the opposite. The Federal government already spends almost twice as much on nonuniversal healthcare as it does on the military, and universal healthcare would be far more expensive. It would be closer to the truth to say that you could remove military spending entirely and cover only a sliver of what universal healthcare would cost.

It kills way less people than the 2009 escalation in Afghanistan that killed thousands more Americans and probably tens or hundreds of thousands of Afghanis. You can approve or disapprove as you like, but killing Soleimani saved the lives of at least hundreds of troops on both sides.

No, it’s not. There are some commonalities, but the Massachusetts plan was heavily modified by a Democratic legislature - removing, for example, health insurance portability between jobs - and the ACA just went left from there, removing things like small business association plans and adding unrelated things like the ban on new doctor owned hospitals to get the corporate hospitals on board. There’s a reason why the ACA was 10 ties as long as the Massachusetts law, and it’s not because the Massachusetts law was a model of concise writing.

Yes, the exception disproves the rule I’m sure.

They didn’t know I had appendicitis until they had completed the tests though. I could of been just an annoying patient complaining about a sore tummy. They still made sure I was seen to and tested relatively quickly.
