A few points on this. 1. I am pro-life, and although I am a Catholic my pro life views despite being hammered from the pulpit are not shaped by my faith. If I gave up Catholicism for Atheism my views on this matter would not change. 2. I do believe that the Roe V Wade decision was not legally the c...
Jump to postSuppose a fetus is a person (I personally don't think this is true, but let's suppose). What gives that person the right to occupy space inside another person against their own will? Good lord. Enough with these sophomoric analogies. The Constitution literally enshrines a right to life. If, like a ...
Jump to postPeople were against the perceived disrespect of the USA. I fully understand the first amendment, but you pointing out the fact that businesses' aren't part of the freedom of speech has absolutely nothing to do with the point I was making.

Jump to postExcept on huge difference, the freedom of speech is protected in the US Constitution as an inalienable right, murder is not. No it is not. The government can make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Private businesses can. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or p...
Jump to postAh, this again. So if the guy has ghosted, or says he won’t support the kid, or accuses her of getting knocked up by someone else falsely, then what? It’s all on the woman?

Jump to postWe are not talking about cases where the mothers health is in question. Yes we are. The fetus is a life , is your sole concern in the opening.

Jump to post"your body your choice", did you say that with Covid vaccines? FYI, I am pro vaccine. So you are saying that i can make other people pregnant by being pregnant? Is Covid a life?

Jump to postThe point is that some people view the fetus as a life and abortion is tantamount to murder. I'm not saying that's right, science doesn't have a consensus of when life begins. A fetus is life? Is grass life? is a cow life? Is a chicken egg life? We are talking about human beings, not cows and chick...
Jump to postThe point is that some people view the fetus as a life and abortion is tantamount to murder. I'm not saying that's right, science doesn't have a consensus of when life begins.

Jump to postSuppose you got kids, would you kick them out of your house if they are minors? what right gives that son or daughter of yours to occupy your house? and would you be OK if your parents had kicked you out of their house when you were 1 years old or 2?

Jump to postThat would be the repercussions of his actions. No one said he couldn't say it. An extension of this logic is that a person can do whatever he or she wants want, even if it's illegal, as long as he or she is willing to face the legal or social ramifications. Any right can be infringed upon, because...
Jump to postI know that this is going to get flamed, but if you believe the fetus is a life, what part of that is religion? Granted a lot of people look at this through a lens of religion, but not all. There’s nothing wrong with that - belief, like religion, is an inalienable right. But belief, whether religio...
Jump to postSuppose a fetus is a person (I personally don't think this is true, but let's suppose). What gives that person the right to occupy space inside another person against their own will?

Jump to postThey should just release the ruling ASAP. That's it end of story. If anything changes from here to the announcement, its done, the justice system is broken. And therein lies one theory as to why this was leaked by a conservative clerk, and not a liberal - To intimidate the conservative justices int...

Jump to postSo if a jury's deliberations and verdict is leaked to the press before they ever announce it, won't you think something might happen in between if a group is against that verdict? wouldn't that group do something to change the outcome/verdict?

Well, its pretty evident the leak was intended to intimidate or forcefully persuade the justices to change opinion. That's a breach of the process. In January 6th, it was said that interfering with a constitutional procedure was an insurrection and anti democratic. Well, if that leak is what it is,...
