So if someone kills an abortion doctor is it justified because the abortion doctor committed murder? What is your difference between an abortion doctor (or abortionist as the 'pro lifers' like to say) and a nazi guard who sent people to the chamber? By not doing everything possible to prevent abortions aren't you appeasing murder? There is no difference between an abortion and killing a 10 year old?

Further.... they see it as themselves being persecuted and victimized like the apostles were for their faith. it gives them a kinship.

Do you think it would be moral and legal to shoot the nazi's that were killing the Jews? Like if you had a gun in your hand and could kill them would you? And would it be moral and legal to do that to prevent the murders of the Jews about to go into gas chambers? Put another way: Imagine there's a house on your street where you know people are taking 2 week old babies inside and murdering them. Are you legally and morally justified to use lethal force to stop that from happening?

I'm just going to share with all of you what tickets I have games for so that you will know to not bother caring about it that day because.... it's going to rain! Every.time.

abortion is a medical procedure and decisions about it should be left between a woman and her doctor. Not some old blue haired hag and her pervert pastor husband who thinks the Earth is 6000 years old. Those are the people that will be making these laws in ass backwards states like Mississippi. A teenager raped by her father will have less rights than the rapist. I call them crazies because their opposition and reasoning on abortion law is based on religious beliefs. The idea that "God will sort it all out, it's God's will, etc.". The concept of a God, god, Allah, Yahweh, etc. should never be factored into a law. We can't have 50 states with 50 abortion laws. There's already talk of some states making it a crime to go into another state to get an abortion where it's legal. Spend some time in a neo natal unit and among high risk pregnancy groups where families have to make very difficult and painful decision and then report back. Partial Birth abortion isn't about some woman deciding in month 8 that she doesn't want a kid anymore..... it's much more complicated than that. Nobody gets one that wants one. They want the baby. Nature decided against it and made it risky to have one and now you'll make criminals out of the doctor and mother. But hey.. tell me again you are pro life because I don't believe you.

because the death penalty was in the Old Testament. and it hurts blacks but we won't say that out loud.

They don't care about the "babies". To them women who get abortions are sluts who dare to have sex outside of marriage. Rape victims had it coming by wearing a skirt and black bra. Fuck the religious right. They are evil. All of them. They only care about "babies" as a tool to gain political power. I know this is just a game to you but real people are going to get hurt.

I frankly don't care about the sanctity of the court or the politics right now. I care about the women and their families that will be hurt by this. Young girls, victims of rape, and middle aged mothers with high school kids facing a health crisis with an unplanned and shocking pregnancy at age 45 will end up dying. All because of 5 justices who think our country should be a theocracy.

There was no real flu season from 2020-2021 because of quarantines, masking, and social distancing, so there was nothing to build off when coming up with the vaccine for 2021-2022. It's always a guess based on what we see evolve from the warmer climates as they transition to cooler climates and the flu makes its way north during the summer/fall but even more so this time. Also an increase in vax skepticism so many didn't get their shot for reasons.

Wife’s hospital has had more flu than COVID patients for a good while. Pediatrician friend says she’s seeing a lot of flu. Sons GF has it. Wife’s work partner’s two kids had it.

wow... forgot all about him. That seems small potatoes now though.

who was that? Sounds like a real life John Hoynes but he was a conservative democrat.

I saw a reference that Asa Hutchieson is considering a '24 run. If it's going to be a republican I think I'm ok with that. He's not crazy which is a low standard I know but these are the times.

How many maga drones will go into the ballot box and look for JD Mandel? Then claim fraud.

The tweet I saw in that regard said "When you attack your border things can go both ways"

There's a twitter account called Ghost of Ernie that shows old clips.... maybe they have a source

I was working out indoors next to someone for 60 minutes a few weeks ago who tested positive the next day and was fine. Her, me, and my wife were all wtihin a few feet of each other the whole time. Hopefully you'll be ok.

How the hell are they not in the country music hall of fame until tonight?

First time I took my family to chicago we stayed at the best western river north. Had free parking. That was the deciding factor. Back then it seemed so far away but when we were there in January we walked by and thought “it’s right here!” I guess with small kids and bags and all that everything is an ordeal and seems far away.

That looks like something from 1976.

“They keep dying on me”

of course... it all depends whether you come from one of those "shithole' countries.

Were we immigrants when we "stormed the open border" into Native American lands? Or illegal aliens?
