#9:

For every 100 people who use the pull out method perfectly, 4 will get pregnant. But pulling out can be difficult to do perfectly. So in real life, about 22 out of 100 people who use withdrawal get pregnant every year " that's about 1 in 5.

You're an idiot.
Stem to stern.

"You really think you are the only Americans."
No one said that. That comes from a diseased brain. A brain that projects what it thinks on others. We are Americans. There are a lot of us. We have different ideas. What unites the group I'm in with so many others is we believe in expanding rights, not taking them away from people.

"You aren't a majority"
What we said is that the majority of Americans agree with each other on the issues such as abortion, human rights, gay rights, contraception, as examples. Again your diseased brain is projecting what it thinks on others.

By more than 2 to 1 you and your Supreme Court are completely out of touch with America. I urge you and your ilk to keep pushing, though. Seriously. Push that agenda. Do away with contraception. Give the State the right to legistlate what consenting adults may do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Ban gay marriage.

Do it.

Again, enjoy your pyrrhic "victory" because We The People are coming.

It's a start, but only a start. If we want to save democracy and put an end to the current minority rule, Democrats have to start competing/fighting on the state and local level

Repeat and repeat until we make it happen.

By two to one the Supreme Court has ruled against

Restating for clarity:
"Despite two to one support for abortion the Supreme Court has ruled against the beliefs of the American People"
The ruling was 5:4 against the American People.

No Republican since 1992 has won the popular vote, save one. The majority of people in the United States do not support and do not want Republicans or their ideas in power.

By two to one the Supreme Court has ruled against the beliefs of the American People and invented a "ruling" made up from nonsense and rooted in a ridiculous concept that "old outdated norms must rule" and settled law and stare decisis are irrelevant.

At least two of these "justices" appear to have lied and perjured themselves making this ruling and SCOTUS illegitimate. But that's the only way the GOP can win. Lying and cheating.

Women, you've been told you're chattel. Raped? Have to carry to term. ------? Little girl? Sorry - you have to carry your literal father's baby. Marital rape? Coming back. Contraceptives? Coming for those next. IV fertilization? Already dead in some states. Same sex intimacy? Marriage? On the chopping block. I suppose miscegenation is safe as long as Thomas is on the Supreme Court, but that is 100% inconsistent with the rationalization used to make abortion a "states right" issue. Boaz, enjoy becoming 3/5th a person. That at least is in the Constitution.

Enjoy your pyrrhic "victory" because We The People are coming.

Bill Johnson, sorry guy, you are so deluded and so wrong.
Do you believe Jesus Christ the Son of God would condone the dilberate murdering of the miracle of life inside a woman?
The Bible is clear on the matter. Jesus never said a word about it, in fact it isn't in the New Testament at all. Nada.
What does that mean? It means you look to the Torah or Old Testament.
It's explicit there, and Judaism is clear on this matter from an extensive history and understanding of what it said in the Bible.
The fetus is not alive until it breathes. Any other position is not taken from Scripture. It is made up, concocted from a willful misreading of the Old Testament and wishes and buts.

It was a secular group that made a decision they believe based on the Constitution, not the Bible.
Wrong. It was a Catholic Cult inside the Supreme Court that twisted, lied, rationalized the s**t out of everything they could to falsely justify their long-held (and misguided) religious belief. Flat out.

Exactly right, GalaxiePete.

They used their "religion" to justify their choices, not to inform their decisions, then hid behind those decisions using religiosity and fake piety to make them holier than the Pope himself in their own eyes.

She also said "(W)e win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right on one thing. He said, 'Whoever has the youth has the future.'"

She's GOP through-and-through.

My neighbors are Catholic and they think the Pope is an immoral fraud that needs to be removed ASAP. They think the "Don't say gay" law in FL is way, way too lenient. They are crying out for all that Thomas wrote he wants.

Looks like Office Lugo has dropped out of the race after he physically assaulted Jennifer Rourke. So that's good news.

#65 - nice turn of the phrase, Gal.

What can be said?

We've gone back to "States Rights" where the State determines what rights you may have. Just like we had during segregation. Just like we had when states told people what sexual contact is legal based on gender. Just like we had when states prohibited "race mixing" (better stay in D.C. Thomas). Just like when states determined who could get married.

We're ruled by a Roman Catholic Cult now. Brought to you by the GOP.

But remember, rights come from God!
LMAO!

Wow. Thanks for sharing this story!

Did I say "President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday"?
I meant to say "President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for Right life in the Supreme Court yesterday." er. um.
I really meant to say "President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for the Right to life in the Supreme Court yesterday."
Yeah. That's it. That's what I meant...

Apparently lfthnd can't conceive of people believing things other than what he believes, and if they do, they're all wrong and don't deserve to be considered or even listened to. Next I'm sure we'll hear how we're not a democracy but a republic where the rights of the minority are protected...

Imagine this if you will; someone being outraged at a Baby getting to live

Imagine this, if you will; Maternal Mortality rates skyrocketing because the State dictates the law absent of and without concern for your circumstances.
Imagine this, if you will; Poverty and more children sick and starving in the richest nation on earth because the State has determined it knows you can afford it no matter how poor you are, and if you can't you deserve to be punished and so do all your children.
Imagine this, if you will; anything resembling intelligence in the GOP.

Yeah. I really pushed the limits with that last one.

a S&W 500 or a 357 can also be used to "control that intake of -----."

Yep. Vanilla ISIS.

#46 - Thanks for that, El Buscador. Excellent points.

Willowby you ought to read that instead of flagging posts you're clueless about as "funny."

What specific policies are they pushing? What actions are they taking?

One thing that's gaining more attention is letting the Hyde Amendment die. If we do that then we can put clinics in on Federal property in all these red states. That's a start and may help, but there's a lot that will need to be done. What can be done to protect a woman from going to a Federal clinic is needed, for instance.

I don't think people realize what the Supreme Court has done. The obvious big piece, yeah, but the ramifications and the empowerment of States Rights is extremely dangerous. This has shifted power to the States. The same states that brought us segregation under the rights of the State.

This is not a step back. It's a sprint backwards.

Why aren't democrats doing anything other than pleading to vote harder?

I'm doing what I can. I wrote the WH and called. I'm funding candidates. What else do you think should be done? I'm open to hear it.

Trumpers had no qualms changing rules or even breaking them when it suited them.

This is an excellent point. Here's why the Supreme Court is not legitimate: McConnell did away with the filibuster to appoint right-wing activists religious radicals to the Supreme Court. He also denied legitimate choices to be given a hearing well before the (D) President's term was over. When RBG died, he threw that excuse right out the window and forced hearings for an ill-equipped lying nominee to be rubber-stamped in as a Justice.

The following SCOTUS cases should all be invalidated: Hernandez, Barton, Thole, McKinney, Garcia, RNC, Espinoza, Selia Law, Open Society, Lee, Bruen, and of course Dobbs.

Abortion - the difference between the two sides:

Most people in the US want people who are the most involved and have the most at risk to be able to make the decision. Most people, me included don't like abortion, but we're not arrogant or self-righteous that we think we can decide. The only reasonable option is to give the ability to choose to the woman.

The Right wants no choice. None. You aren't smart enough to understand. You aren't moral. The State will enforce its view of morality on you. You must carry to term. No matter what. Oh, and miscarriages will be investigated.
In those states where the abortion may be permitted for the health/safety of the women, the State will decide if the risk to the mother's health is sufficient to grant an abortion. The State will determine how much risk will be tolerated. Not the woman, not the Doctor.
