So? Do you not believe in rehabilitation? Should anyone that has used illegal drugs be barred from pubic office?

I am not a fan of the RFK Jr. or RFK Sr., but it is not uncommon for people to keep the suffix, particularly then one of both are public figures. 

Robert Downey Sr.'s been dead for twenty years, and we still have Robert Downey Jr.

And that was true in March 2021, when she made the statement. The original vaccine was extremely effective against the original strain of COVID.

 

 

You mean the Trump Administration vaccine that Biden said he would never take, but then took before he was inaugurated, and then later said never existed before he took office, that one? 

The same one that (allegedly)  delayed their announcement to benefit Biden in the election?

The problem with using any index or global tracker is that the US market is at least 50% of any global index and tech occupies the lions share. Before, some other parts of the index would support any fall by one single part, but now, if tech falls, the entire index or tracker falls. That's the quandry.

Currency fund? 

Does; "speaking truth to power" not require one be at some personal risk? 

I don't see how a rich elitist speaking to a crowd of clapping seals that are all (at least publicly) in agreement qualifies. 

If he were speaking out for Trump or against Obama to the same crowd, then perhaps.

(A) Don’t be absurd.

Really?

And if a pregnant friend had a miscarriage, would you say; "sorry you lost the fetus?", or better; "why so sad? It was only a fetus."

If a pregnant woman is assaulted and loses baby, in most states, the perpetrator can be changed with murder.

(B) I think that health care generally should be publicly funded; I favor the socialization of other broad societal and industry sectors as well. But not necessarily for any abortion on demand; I probably wouldn’t favor public funding for a couple who wish to get an abortion simply as a lifestyle choice. The devil is in the details, in determining the need/motive for an abortion.

But you do support availability for any reason, up until the moment of birth, correct? 

You are a Marxist then?

The problem comes if you try to cover one up. Which is what Trump did.

Your views on abortion are certainly not as extreme as the views of men (and some women) passing new laws (or reviving old ones) in many states. I don’t consider a fetus to be a “baby” until it’s born, but this is to some degree a matter of semantics. Also, because I’m a man and am incapable of getting pregnant, and thus am clueless about what it feels like to have something growing inside me and what effect that has on a person, physically and emotionally, I am unqualified to say. I would leave the question of whether it’s a “fetus” or a “baby” entirely up to the woman and trust her instincts, and grant her the right to make her own decisions accordingly.

 

I think you may be mistaken about the primary source of Planned Parenthood’s income; here are a few links if you’re interested.

So, when you visit a pregnant friend, do you ask: "How's the fetus?" 

I assume your position is public funded, for any reason, up until birth, correct?

Parts of Gaza Are in Famine, World Food Program Chief Says

The director of the World Food Program, Cindy McCain, says that parts of the Gaza Strip are experiencing a “full-blown famine” that is rapidly spreading throughout the territory after almost seven months of war.

Ms. McCain is the second high-profile American leading a U.S. government or U.N. aid effort who has said that there is famine in northern Gaza, although her remarks do not constitute an official declaration, which is a complex bureaucratic process.

“There is famine — full-blown famine in the north, and it’s moving its way south,” Ms. McCain said in excerpts released on Friday of an interview with “Meet the Press.”

Wow, seven months without food and water, one would think they'd have given up those hostages by now. 

Hey, maybe when Biden's plan to bring the Palestinian to US gets going, he'll bring the hungriest ones first.

Several states have defunded Planned Parenthood, meaning blocking the organization from receiving Medicaid reimbursements. So, no, if the organization is financially insolvent, then it can’t provide prenatal care. The bigger issue is doctors not treating women whose pregnancies are complicated, for fear that they’ll be prosecuted should the pregnancy not result in childbirth; these women’s lives are thus put at risk.

 

Elsewhere you referred to abortion as “killing babies”; I don’t know whether your view in that regard is based on your perception of medical science or some religious conviction, but I concede that it’s your right to hold such belief. But I do hope that you would allow primacy to doctors to do what’s needed to protect the life of an expectant woman whose pregnancy may be complicated, even if that required aborting her fetus, especially if the fetus is unlikely to survive once born (as is often the case in such circumstances).

I support privately funded abortions for any reason up to twelve weeks, and publicly funding at any point in the pregnancy for women at serious risk to their physical life. 

At one point in a pregnancy do you consider it a baby?

Are we not always told that only a miniscule portion of the Planned Parenthood budget comes from taxpayers? Surely prenatal care would be at the top of their list of services they provide. 

In any evert, I thought they made the bulk of their money selling the debris the remove from their customers, no?

The "not having a formal background in economics" is simply an attempted slur.  So, not "some useful background" - just some useless slur.

No. As I understand it, at least in the US, a "formal" background would require one's background include a degree (preferably an advanced degree) in the discipline with which they are involved.
