Do you have to be antagonistic and/or victimized about everything? I told you to look into things like social security. Christ, dude, act like a grown up. Fwiw, I took SG’s post as a reply to mine about abortion legislation.
While you criticize me for being antagonistic you shrug at another’s antagonistic comment. This is why i get so frustrated here.

One of my ex drug dealers had two special needs kids with his second wife. He pulled in several grand a month just on them.
Should Down syndrome babies be aborted for having Down syndrome?
Without hesitation... absolutely.
Part of it boils down to what Flagg mentioned...
Who takes care of them when you're dead?
Reminds me of what happened to my mom when she worked at a place in MO that took care of the disabled when she was between careers....
She cleaned up the facility... including doing their laundry. She had to go to their rooms. In one room was a teenage boy who just sat in an empty room in his wheelchair... doing nothing. He got no visitors and nobody else cared. She used to come home and cry thinking about him. Years later she would wonder if he's still alive and sitting in that chair.
That is horrifying. No one deserves an existence like that. Abort him.
Your first comment about your ex drug dealer getting all kinds of money needs evidence. I serve this population and i have no idea what you’re talking about.

Libs gonna lib. What dumb asses.
This will probably get ignored by incompetent mods on this board who only see fit to reprimand people when it fits the agenda.

I feel like sometimes you have a disassociation disorder, ID.

Did I say it doesn’t matter? We were having an actual discussion before you jumped in with, WE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!
Remember when you swore up and down Trump would not leave office and we’d all be in the midst of a civil war right now? You were even going to buy a gun. I told you he would probably claim he didn’t lose but he would leave office. You didn’t believe me, you believed the progressive scare tactics. You’re doing it again.
Yup…that’s what i did.
Minimize Trumps impact all you want.
I do now currently own a gun.
Trump still claims to be the president.

To show how worthless Chuck Schumer is, Susan Collins and Murkowski have said they will support codifying a federal abortion protection bill as long as it’s not for 9 months… like the bill that just failed because it couldn’t get enough Democrats to support it. He said no, he’s not compromising, and will bring up the same bill that just failed.
How can anyone think he’s a good leader?
Why bother…we couldn’t get 60 votes in the Senate to cure cancer.

If none of this matters then we should just stop talking about it.
#238 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 175 weeks ago
You’re bring hysterical. The court case this opinion is based on is literally a state vs federal case. Abortion is still legal, without Roe it will still be legal, but now will be a civil liberties issue. Do you really think conservatives want to have that battle? If what you’re saying is true, abortion would already be illegal right now.
Are you saying progressive judges didn’t say one thing in the nomination process and did another when on the bench?
Ok ID…and that’s what we do here over and over. We talk about things that don’t matter and we minimize the consequences of everything.

Give me a break...all the things in this country that have hid under the guise of state vs federal rights...it's a distraction. This is about the same thing every time, one group of people trying to control another group of people. That's all this is. Ends justify the means. Attacking other people's civil rights will get you a political backing. Nothing is protected in this country because the constitution is interpreted and applied differently to every single individual in this country.
Roe vs Wade was the best we could do to compromise. There is no middle ground on this because of how fundamentally the differences go. The backlash should be that 3 supreme court justices who promised adherence to a long precedent lied to our faces. The backlash should come from the dirty tactics employed to put them there. They rewrote 50 years of precedence because they want to do....do what, exactly? What does this accomplish?

Pretty amazing seeing all these clips of Republicans and the judges Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett during their hearings. All 3 bullshitted their way through questions involving Roe v. Wade. They all had their minds made up from the get go.
This might be the gift that swings things back in the Dems direction before midterms. Nothing will get solved from this either and those claiming the moral high ground over this will turn a blind eye to the consequences no matter what they are. I remember explicitly being told by members of this board that what Trump did to the Supreme Court was by the book. I was told that these people were qualified to be in their positions and that nothing of serious substance would be altered. This is just the beginning if you ask me. It's clear no precedent is safe now.
Look at what state Republicans have been doing since Biden got elected. It's not that far fetched anymore that gay rights will be next and anything else involving sex will be next. They keep creeping toward it.
