Popular Post SunnyinBangrak Posted July 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2022 2 hours ago, Jingthing said: No. Not this slithering game. Polls aren't reality. You know that. Roe vs Wade was struck down. You know that. You said: There is no "stamping on women's rights" happening at all. That's wrong. We're not morons. Of course it's happening. FACT. Not amused how "my body, my choice" was classed as non permittable speech for 2 years until Roe vs Wade was overturned and suddenly the narrative turned on a dime and "my body, my choice" was a good thing again. Forcing people against their will to make questionable decisions regarding their health was IMO an unforgivable sin. And it is hypocrisy in the extreme trying to claim the high moral ground. So, nice try, but no sale. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone says that abortion is still available as before in all 50 states they are either very ignorant or more likely lying. Reality matters. If we can't agree on basic real facts a civil discussion is impossible.

So anti gay in fact that they appointed the first ever openly gay cabinet member in US history! And as you know, overturning Roe did not end abortion in the US. It is still possible to get an abortion from sea to sea. It just gave the power back to the people. You ARE for democracy, aren't you? Depending on what state you reside in and if you have financial resources you can have access to needed medical services as regards abortion requirements.

You put on this ridiculous show that what people want in the polls is HAPPENING. NO! The people wanted Roe to stand and now that the right wing radicals have trashed it many states are now massively restrictive. Not aware of even one state that responded moderately. The people didn't know what Roe was or was not. They reacted in polls based on the media bias surrounding the subject. YET... ...if you ask actual specific questions about abortion, about what restrictions or freedoms people want to see in their state, the answers are quite different. And I think you know this, which is why you choose to ignore it. Instead, relying on generalities and platitudes and even being coy about your own beliefs on the subject. Polling shows that abortion support wanes with time. Only about 10% of people want abortion outlawed completely. Similarly, only about 20% want no restrictions.

They can help some women to some degree and they will. But they shouldn't have to in the first place. Many poor women can't get time off to travel and will try unsafe methods Some of them will die. Some will get fired for taking time off for travel and no charity is going to pay their rent or replace their income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abortion will most certainly be on the radar but I agree economic issues will dominate. The democrats will lose the house but have a good chance of increasing their majority in the Senate. Mostly another own goal by Republicans nominating Trumpist looney tunes such as Herschel Walker. Edited July 12, 2022 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden beat Trump. That was job one. Possibly no other democrat could have done so in 2020. As far as 2024 Biden must keep saying he is running as long as possible or he prematurely castrates himself. But he won't run. Trump may run to raise money and generate noise to deflect from his legal problems but he probably won't be nominated and would lose if he is. He's seriously damaged goods. A recent poll shows Biden even with his historically horrible numbers would beat Trump in 2024. But that's academic. Biden won't run and Trump will probably be gone too.
