Also more good news
First off, no one is pro-abortion. It's called "pro-choice" for a reason.
Second, I do not agree with abortion. I do believe it is murder, and the idea of it bothers me. HOWEVER, I also know since I cannot get pregnant, my opinion on it shouldn't be a deciding factor.
Third, I have spoken to those children. I went to school with foster kids. There were foster kids in my family. I grew up watching them suffer. I grew up watching them die, and as a mere adolescent I could do nothing about it. It is why I advocate for them now. It is clear you have yet to actually speak to these unwanted children. It is clear you haven't checked to see where they end up.
Fourth, with that said, feel free to look up the current and ongoing issues with Texas' foster care system. Then feel free to look up the current issues of foster care within your own state.
Fifth, the Pro-Life party is filled with people who'll never have to deal with consequences of pregnancy and abortion, in particular, men who cannot have children. This is the biggest irony to the movement. You want to make decisions on something that doesn't even affect you. It's no different from straight people trying to ban same-sex marriage. It's easy to ban something when you don't have to bare the consequences of that ban. Is there ever a question as to why men who are Pro-Life have yet to ban vasectomies? That prevents the creation of life entirely.
Sixth, and finally, if you truly do care for these children, help them after they're born:
- Improve the foster care system
- Improve the education system
- Promote better access to child healthcare
- Make it easier same-sex couples to adopt
- Combat child sex trafficking
- Combat school bullying
- Promote access to mental health services for children
There are millions of children already here that need your help. If you truly are Pro-Life, actually support their lives.
Rep. Frederica Wilson said it best: "You only care about a fetus until the moment it is born."
It's even more insane that a complete stranger can sue a woman they don't even know wanting an abortion.Speaking of
A U.S. judge blocks enforcement of Texas' controversial new abortion law
Known as SB 8, the law bans almost all abortions in the state after about six weeks of pregnancy, even in cases of rape, sexual abuse and incest.www.npr.org
Outside of the general bad logical fallacies, the idea that anyone can sue anyone else is a huge can of worms that it’s a joke the Supreme Court just punted on this.
Overall, I would like to reiterate that while I disagree with your stance of pro-life, I do agree with your views on the lives of children (especially foster children). I hope you improve foster care systems with your advocation work, and I believe these children deserve it.
Oh, I must have misunderstood the part of your post about your position. My apologies.Oh, well that's just the thing. I'm not pro-life. I am actually very much pro-choice, despite my views on abortion. I eventually realized I cannot allow myself to make decisions that negatively impact the lives of others, especially if I don't have to live with the consequences.
A personal dream of mine is to establish a boarding school for foster kids, one that will essentially replace the local foster care system. I fortunately know a good chunk of people with city connections who can help me with it - all of whom are former foster children - so I'd definitely be in good company for preparations. However, I'd want to be in a position of great fortune and power when I do, to ensure my influence protects not only the children, but the school's integrity. There's a lot more to it, but yeah. That's my dream.
also excuse my ignorance but can USA partially solve its debt crisis by dipping into the military budget? it might not cover all teh costs but it could pay off a good chunk of them with enough years of repeated reallocations. an easy $600 billion a year budget wont be hurt too much if a third goes to pay the debts. 200 billion might not make much of a dent in a 16.6 trillion debt but it should make a decent solution to the current situation. im sure they can find other overblown budget areas that wouldnt be hurt by reallocating funds to what they really need to pass to keep the country afloat.
In a literal sense, sure. Culturally speaking, not so much. War is like Viagra for a lot of people in America.also excuse my ignorance but can USA partially solve its debt crisis by dipping into the military budget? it might not cover all teh costs but it could pay off a good chunk of them with enough years of repeated reallocations. an easy $600 billion a year budget wont be hurt too much if a third goes to pay the debts. 200 billion might not make much of a dent in a 16.6 trillion debt but it should make a decent solution to the current situation. im sure they can find other overblown budget areas that wouldnt be hurt by reallocating funds to what they really need to pass to keep the country afloat.
How many years has the US NOT been basing its economy on war, or actively at at war? 0.We are moving back to a point where Americans are majority supporting a military presence in Afghanistan.
But the media has been so dogshit about it considering how those who said we need to leave got pushed to the side.
Unless people literally revolt and destroy the Military-Industrial Complex, and I mean literally raze it to the ground with fire and weapons, and get rid of all possible genetic heirs to the money and power.
It was cynicism regarding how people who preach revolution refusing to revolt. CHILL.So the only way to defeat the war machine is with a war machine? The irony in this is palpable, and this makes the chances of this happening all the less likely.
So, is he saying that Kyle perceives his victims as animals? That's not a smart thing to say out loud. Methinks that attorney is a pretty ****ed-up dude, too.Kyle Rittenhouse's attorney has argued that Kyle was simply going hunting by using hunting laws when he went to kill people.
...That's supposed to be a defense argument.
Oh yeah, the irony would have been nice to reference if such a title was adopted, and I wish that we could have voted on a new title. But I am fine with the current title, however.The irony of a title like "Democracy's Last Chance to Shine" under Biden's "presidency" would be amazing, seeing as even 31% of us independents and 17% of Democrats believe the election may have been rigged, not to mention the many Republicans (I forgot the figure for them but it's substantially higher, as you'd expect). Not really a shining Democracy when so many people aren't sure of the results. While there's limited evidence of significant voter fraud, as Clarence Thomas, "an election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence."
In a literal sense, sure. Culturally speaking, not so much. War is like Viagra for a lot of people in America.
Way back when the Republicans thought that not tipping their entire hand instantly was a good idea. I can't believe we have a large amount of politicians worse than this dude was.For those of us in Missouri, I am pretty sure that you will glad that this POS is officially sent to the fires of hell.
Ex-US Rep. Todd Akin, sunk by ‘legitimate rape’ remark, dies
Former conservative Republican U.S. Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri has died. Akin’s son Perry says in a statement that his father died late Sunday at age 74 from cancer.apnews.com
For those of you who don't recognize this blast from the past, Todd Akin is famous for his 2012 "legitimate rape" promotions.
I’d say that is karma. The Republican Party pretty messed up things so bad that it took karma five years to build up enough energy to finally attack them all.Way back when the Republicans thought that not tipping their entire hand instantly was a good idea. I can't believe we have a large amount of politicians worse than this dude was.
Not really the intended takeaway, I guess, but also...
