Never underestimate the Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's less about whether the populace fears a theocracy and more about what it's going to take to for more and more people to see where the Republican party wants to go. A good portion of their base knows and it's what they want too.

No no no, you're thinking of the aftermath. You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to just be glad the child is born, a life has been saved and laugh at the libs that got owned. What's weird is that apparently the mother of the 10 year is defending the guy that supposedly confessed to being the rapist and that he was wrongly listed as a 17 year old by the doctor of the girl. Has there been any mention as to why she's defending the guy?

You realize that even if we as a country would want to do anything about it, the same people in the "pro-life" camp would do everything in their power to prevent such action arguing we should deal with the problems in our country? Same as how the response has been with the Ukranian defense against Russia. Nah I'm just testing Republican logic. They like to claim that the liberals are the snowflakes that get too easily offended and deny reality.

What, you haven't seen the likes of Mike Pence who's calling for a national ban despite how often their ilk they've claimed "states rights"? Here's a few of their response. Sarah Huckabee Sanders Mary Miller Matt Gaetz Karianne Lisonbee Ken Paxton You really want to pretend that folks like this aren't sanctimonious pieces of shit?

But in the situation where a mother is not ready to have her child and they both die due to her being unable to find and starving to death, isn't the ban that forced her to have the child in turn taking 2 lives instead of 1? If that were true then why such bans that force the woman to carry the baby even if it's rape and if it endangers their life? The answer is because they're sanctimonious pieces of shit who think what they believe must be and think the end justifies the means, know they couldn't make it happen via the legislative branch and know they can use the Filibuster to prevent Democrats from doing it. The Supreme Court nomination process was objectively rigged and if you're ok with Republicans packing the courts, you have no right to complain about Democrats doing so if they ever bother to. Personally I'd rather see the Supreme Court abolished if we're resorting to nominating partisan judges. My argument is that I don't buy "pro-lifers" being as concerned about life as they claim to be. They're just pro-birth because they think it's the right choice (as well the other stupid reasoning previously mentioned) and with what little regard they have for the children post-birth, it's nonsense to say they're incapable of accepting the death of an unborn, specially when rape or other stipulations that are harmful exist. "Tend to be" is not an absolute, I'm aware it's a generalization and I'm well aware that you can be Pro-birth and against Capital Punishment. "I believe abortion is murder" should not invalidate a consensus and the generally considered valid reasons even among Republican voters for why an abortion had to happen. Yes. Depending on the translation, the result of the woman's infidelity is indeed the miscarriage. The point is that because of differing translations and the tendency religious people have of picking and choosing what things to follow from religious literature and teachings, it just isn't credible and should stay away from the legislative process. In most cases that does appears to be the case because a lot of people do in fact turn to saying "it's against my religion", "God would want that" or something similar to that Charlie Kirk tweet. You wanna blame someone for making the issue religious, blame the religious people that attached their religion to the issue. And again, if your reasoning is simply as you put it cast your vote as is but the matter is just not that simple and if leaders are elected democratically, you shouldn't just brute-force your opinions/beliefs into law when it's an unpopular stance which just so happens to be what politicians sharing your stance are doing. There's a myriad of scenarios one could give for cases where abortion is and isn't acceptable but to impose the blanket bans that have been going on just says "nuts to that, I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too". I'm a dude so abortion has little to no bearing on me personally and part of my being pro-choice is due to the actions and arguments of "pro-lifers". Most discussions on the subject will have them guilt trip or imply that those of us who are pro-choice are giddy about the prospect of an unborn baby being aborted. We're not, we think it's a bad thing too but we also acknowledge the nuance that comes with differing situations for why the abortion happens and instead of forcing women to give birth and take away her agency to carry on with a life she can manage or carry the burden, we think it's better to address the issues that create the situation in which a pregnancy is unwanted. Banning abortions doesn't get rid of those issues, it's only going to make them worse.

Maybe it is to you personally and that's fine, you can cast your vote against abortion all you like but It's just really not that simple. The women bearing the kids are also people but apparently that doesn't seem to matter to the lawmakers in power and the unborn life is more precious. If there is concern for people, then why are these laws so simplistic that they're causing problems for miscarriages? Why did the Republicans have to rig the Supreme Court to get their way? I know the answer, do you? Maybe instead of rigging Supreme Court nominations to bring such an unpopular policy, Republicans should make policy to actually improve the country instead of enriching themselves and their donors. If all you got is "unborn people are people" then you've got nothing because the same folks that argue they're "pro-life" also tend to be in favor of the death penalty so that crowd is perfectly fine with life being taken away but they'll try to claim the moral high ground by arguing the baby is innocent. Is there really concern about life when that concern appears to end after the baby is born? Is there a shortage of orphaned kids who want to be adopted? Will the babies born to mothers that can't afford it even live long enough to make it worth the loss of the woman's future, specially in if the pregnancy was from rape? Are you sure there aren't "pro-lifers" that aren't just vindictive pieces of shit that see the unwanted pregnancy as a mistake that they want to make sure women suffer for? Where's the concern for mother and baby that couldn't attain sustenance because the mother was no ready for a child? The misguided attempts at simplifying the issue can create problems in turn, here's an example: White Supremacists want women to have babies to "protect the white race from the great replacement" but if most abortions are by low-income people and whites aren't the majority of that batch, then they're inadvertently increasing the disparity between whites and non-whites that they fear so much. Many of the "pro-life" folks also use religion as their reasoning behind their stance... how do they know their god actually has such a problem with abortion when supposedly, said god used abortion to punish infidelity. Is there god a vengeful one that deems the woman bear her child even if she's not ready or is her perhaps a forgiving one that would grant a woman's request to abort a baby she's not ready for? I'll believe that lawmakers pushing these overly excessive abortion bans are more concerned with getting less women in the workforce sooner than believing they care about the number of kids that live. There's little to no nuance from the Republican side on the issue and it would be marvelously delicious if this crusade is what drives the Republican party to its end. Seriously, we as a country should end that fucking party so we can go back to having elections where the point is to offer solutions to the problems the country faces as opposed to one side looking to troll the libs and the other trying to play fair with crooks and backing down on issues people supported them for.

I personally don't think that distinction of when life begins is even all that necessary, given how the same folks pushing to ban abortion tend to be in favor of the death penalty. Birth is the start of the baby as a physically separate being, there's no disputing that. Banning abortion would make more sense if the people pushing for those bans would actually enact policy to help the baby but they just don't. As Raven said, it's as if it's all just to punish women for having sex. Some, because of that replacement conspiracy theory and we, the US, gotta have white couples "make 14 babies and invade Mexico". Some, because they're afraid that the second coming of Christ may be one of those aborted babies. Some, are incels that would jump at the notion of punishment women for having sex, as you said, for petty revenge. "How dare they get sex when I don't get any". Some, want the handmaid's tale to be a reality. Some, probably just want to keep people uneducated.

Which alleges that it is intentionally engineered by Jews/Zionists often attributed to being the Democratic party. And yet, the believers of this conspiracy theory are likely to vote Republican, the very same party gutting government investment into anything that serves the public and not military and the rich. Abortion shouldn't be a complicated issue in America but right-wing media like Fox News abuses the Freedom of Speech to frame the conversation in horrible ways. Most people that are pro-choice aren't happy about an abortion happening but we're also not keen on forcing a woman who believes she's not ready for the responsibility to carry that burden and ultimately even if she may be the most intelligent person when it comes to making that decision, she is still the best person to make that decision because it's her life. It gets even worse when it comes to rape cases which, as shown in previous posts, these "pro-life" nuts demand that the woman carry their rapists' child. Hell the Texas law causes problems for miscarriages. Given the way they vote when it comes to child care and adoption related funding, it's easier to argue that "Pro-Life" politicians are really just "Pro-Birth" because they're sanctimonious pieces of shit that demand the woman give birth to the child but then shit on her for her poor life choices and kill any bill that would help her with the child. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those fuckers vote on banning abortion simply out of spite and wanting less women in the workforce. White birth rates are dropping but it's not necessarily because there's a conspiracy to do it, it's because White voters aren't driving the Republican party into extinction. No seriously, the key to improving most things in this country akin to what's done in Europe is to just end the Republican party and then a new party comes in without the baggage of the Southern Strategy campaign with more to offer than the weak Democrats.

Dead on arrival at Senate. Let's not even pretend there's a possibility it'll pass.

Brave/Hero Sword and Elite/Paragon ring are the best tools for that. Look for opportunities to steal cash with Deu, specially from village raiders as those usually hold 5k gold.

1. Who doubles frequently? 2. Who is frequently on the frontlines, on their own fighting enemies or killing off key targets for your strategy? 3. Who can go from just failing to kill enemies to actually killing enemies in 1 round with that boost? Vanessa and other Pegasus Knights tend to fit this pretty well due to their low STR growth and bases.

So basically something that conceptually, nobody would really oppose because fundamentally it seems like the right thing to do but unsurprisingly, it's a veiled way for the assholes in the country to bring back segregation in some shape or form. Typical. I'm fairly certain a majority of people and even among Democrats there is support for School Choice (hell, I'm not against it either, but now it makes sense why the Republican side wants to own that so much and pretend like only Republicans support it.

Like what?

Hmm, yes. Bribery = thinking for yourself.

They would if the protests were about improving wages, making healthcare more affordable, making it easier to vote, etc etc.

Never seen him use it. Saw this video some time ago that tried to make him but lol

There's a demo for it now

GameXPlain made a video regarding the in-game timer:

They've been fine with fucking their own voters to induce more damage onto blacks in the past. They're probably fine with fucking this up if they can pin it on Biden and hurt his agenda.

I mean that's supposed to happen. You gotta have the Biden shutdown to go along with the Trump shutdown.

It's just incredible how much a large portion of a political party is coddling a petulant child. It's also kind of sad that it's news that Biden won't shield Trump from the Jan 6 committee.

Ah Climate change. South Park nailed it when it comes to the skeptics:

It's hilarious. Here's the article he was referencing. https://www.studyfinds.org/vaccines-salad-growing-plants/
