New SCOTUS judge will be "Pro Life"...leaving the abortion issue up to the states is what Trump wants.

traed said: Thrashinuva said: traed said: Thrashinuva said: traed said: Thrashinuva said: traed said: Lets repeal voting rights for blacks too. Leave it up to the state. What a shocking statement. Which is all that it is. It uses the same logic. Allowing the minority is up to the majority in a state. Then repeal the 15th amendment if you can. We came to a pretty solid consensus in this country about the matter already, and made a law as permanent as we could make it regarding the matter. So in your example, I think we did just that. We allowed the majority to decide, and they put into place this constitutional amendment as well as the 19th amendment. The majority decided that. But as far as I'm concerned, voting isn't something you do based on color or gender. Voting is something you do as an American. So the only minority here relates to people who are illegal immigrants. Yet various states still try to pass laws that suppress votes of minorities. So it could wind up outlawed actually if that were the case. What are you talking about? Voter ID requirements? Super PAC's attempts to bus poor neighborhoods to polling locations? Various things have beenn done https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression_in_the_United_States Then I guess I will respond to various things. If there are various things that are inhibiting minority voters then attempts should be made to reach out to them fairly. If there are various things attempting to restrict minority voters based on them being minorities and no other reason, then it should be outlawed. If various things resulted in decisions that were made that unreasonably impacts a group of voters, then concessions should be made to enable them to vote. On the other hand if it's various things that were decisions made to protect the sanctity of the vote, and any and all concessions have been made to ensure that any group of voters that may have been impacted by the decision can still vote regardless, then there is no problem with this decision. |

What you call progress we call regression. What you call regression we call progress. We simply view that we have undone your mistakes of attempting to mask the problems in hopes to make them better, and that we will actually attempt to solve the problems rather than pretend they don't exist. WHAT?! Who is "we"....conservatives? I'm not a conservative. "We" refers to the people who think you're wrong. These people more than likely voted for Trump on the whole, so they made an effort to rectify what they felt had been broken. And many people agree with this logic. In fact 10 years ago anyone would have agreed with it. The left disagrees with the right and the right disagrees with the left. They both think the other is wrong and going in the wrong direction. People who voted for Trump didn't vote for him because they thought it would be funny, or because it would be a nice "fuck you", or to bring down the entire system. They voted for Trump because they thought out the current situation we face, came to a conclusion, and wound up disagreeing with you in a very honest manner. The people who came to this conclusion range from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, ethnic backgrounds, intelligence levels, and otherwise. But people would rather believe "No no no. No one could possibly reasonably disagree with my views". And let me tell you right now, most of the people who voted Trump already recognized that many people disagreed with them for fairly valid reasons, and that shows just how much conviction they had when they voted. |

No one is going to agree with that logic. Quite frankly I blame myself and people of my ilk....people who were getting angered by fucking teenagers and college students because they said a few stupid things. These fucking kids have ZERO power....and in reality "SJWs" are nothing more than a few loud idiots. Yeah....I've been trying not to have to admit this....but now I have to. I was very wrong for getting "Triggered" by SJWs and thinking they were this big bad boogeyman.... When a far bigger threat was staring me in the eye and I chose to ignore it because honestly, I NEVER believed Trump could win. You're right. They're probably a "vocal minority", but it wouldn't be the first time a "vocal minority" has ruined something in this world. SJW's have had more power in recent times. You don't see the opposite speaking in front of the UN (Which is a joke, but i digress). The Brexit, and Trumps win is a trend showing that the Pendulum is swinging the other way, and how are those people reacting? They're doubling down. Extremeists on both sides are a problem, but it was the SJWs and extreme left that created this monster. The left has lost the art of debate, and for all of their "tolerence", they sure show it when someone doesn't support their ideology. |

As for the first part, you're talking about something that has already happened that did not result from your own actions. What we're talking about here is something that will happen or not based on your own actions. When you get a medical procedure done, the doctor must tell you what it is they are going to do to you and how you will likely be affected, or how a baby will be affected if you're pregnant. Even if you're a doctor yourself, they must do this. We shouldn't be foregoing the rules just for abortions, it doesn't make sense. You tell a crack addict that abusing crack could harm their baby, and you tell a person getting an abortion that they're taking a life. Regardless of how bad it makes you feel, it has to be done. The doctor can reassure them that they don't have to feel guilty or whatever. Maybe they can shun them out of their office too (that's capitalism honestly). But the basic responsibilities of a doctor remains. A woman can have plenty of reasons for getting an abortion, and if it's legal then no one has the right to complain except for maybe the husband to sue over emotional damages or something. |

Article XIV (Amendment 14 - Rights Guaranteed: Privileges and Immunities of Citizenship, Due Process, and Equal Protection) It says "born"...1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Article [X] (Amendment 10 - Reserved Powers) Since it doesn't say anything about pre-born, it is therefore reserved to the States or people.The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Hoppy said: Marriage is not mentioned in the constitution. That means it is reserved to the states.I also read that LGBT rights would still be on the books despite the conservative judge though which is good news. SCOTUS has been overstepping it's authority for a long time... with nonsensical decisions not based in law... JustALEX said: Trump is new to the whole pro-life thing. He finally figured out it's bad, but he doesn't understand much more.And then get locked up if they even survive the procedure? Because getting an abortion in a state that is illegal...will obviously be punishable by law. The United States of America a supposed "first world" country could potentially REGRESS to a time where we are prosecuting women for abortions. There are two victims in an abortion: the child, and the mother. The only one that should be jailed is the abortionist. j0x said: And just who decided "consciousness/awareness" was required for human rights?how come this pro-life people cannot understand that a fetus/embryo has no human consciousness/awareness yet so they do not have human rights "Human rights"... if human, then rights. Easy. vriskabell said: Is Abortion Ever Necessary to Save the Life of the Mother?Would anyone care to explain to me where the health of the mother comes into play? If the mother is in risk of losing her life because of the baby and an abortion would be the best way to reassure she lives, what's going to happen if the State she lives in outlaws abortion?

Pretty unsurprising considering Obama didn't do a whole lot for those people. I'd imagine many of the hispanics that voted for him were rural too. I don't know what you're getting at. I'd imagine that the numbers aren't much different from previous election cycles. Also, i'll grant you, that i pulled the "15-20%" out of my ass, It was probably closer to 5-10%, which is still significant, but moreso when those votes are in key swing states that were won within a margin of 100k votes or less. If the Dems were able to pull the numbers of Obama did in 2008 and even 2012, Trump wouldn't have standed a chance. The blame is on the media perpetuating polls that they themselves knew was inaccurate. For some reason i thought Obama got more than 70 million popular vote, it was just under that. |

Easy. potential human does not have rights yet Potential beings don't have the same rights as actual beings Generally we do differentiate between actual and potential beings, and we distinguish between their rights, too. Many of the rights of a potential person are only potential rights - they only become actual rights when the person becomes an actual person. So, for example, a 10-year-old is a potential voter, and has the potential right to vote, but he or she doesn't get the actual right to vote until he or she reaches her or his 18th birthday and becomes eligible to vote. And another example: the heir to the throne is a potential king, but he doesn't have the rights of a king until the present monarch dies. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/child/potential.shtml |

loondonb said: bottle said: Whichever way it's not going to be a core issue. People who choose to abort will likely do it elsewhere if it's not legal in one state. They can just take a short trip. It's much easier than bearing the fetus for months, giving up jobs and schools. Besides, nowadays if you don't take your contraceptive pills before sex, you can take it After sex within the golden hours. Just go to see the Dr or even ER. It's just odd to expect you are so lucky from getting pregnant without contraception before and even after sex. They should get the pill for free or easily accessible enough. That way is the right way to reduce abortion and the availability of methods is already helping the decline in induced abortion, and not by banning abortion. in my country methods is given for free in various places but they don't want to use that and resolve the problem with other way. Thanks God abortion make you go to jail here <3 That's not exactly a good idea. While contraception works most of the cases, they do fail occasionally. |

The courts hold a nice amount of sway but they don't have active power; If it turns out the way I think it is, people are going to being unhappy--unless they do what any madman would, then it could turn out being the smartest move. I ramble sometimes.. |

But I'm not about to lie about what it is. It's baby killing. We euthanize adorable puppies and kittens, and we euthanize babies too. I don't have a stance on whether you should have an abortion or not, but I do have a stance that you should be told what it is you're actually doing. If they already know then I'm sure it's not a big deal if they're reminded about it. you bacle d theocrat but i thought the right in the us were srticly for the onituion but that only on the cae of the 2nd pence is tteocrat who hate the 1st amendmt good by secularism in the us |

What I don't get about some individuals "pro-life" is that they are usually correlated with not wanting sexual/abstain programs in school that teach kids/teens how to use contraceptives, and STDs. Do they hope their moral fiber will outweigh hormones or do they think anal is much more acceptable? |

i just finished rewatching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxM9BZeRrUI and ye it makes sense to be pro-choice considering that a fetus/embryo is only a potential human so lets say like 5%-10% human only while the mother is an actual human or 100% human already, so its only obvious that the mother has more rights and more authority than her fetus/embryo so ye pro-choice it is |

Abortion lovers need to be forced with what they're actually doing in plain English. It's not "terminating a bundle of cells." It's not "reproductive rights." It's murder: Murder is a legal term and even in legal terminology it's usually called abortion not murder. Also they aren't babies till late term. No one loves abortion. |

traed said: There is not one generally accepted definition for what is life. Depending on the set of requirements used to define it, some commonly acknowledged non-living things might fulfill the criteria and be seen as living. Vice-versa, some commonly recognized living things might meet all of the requirements and be categorized as non-living. Funny enough, it's also very hard to absolutely define what it means to be "alive". Like how, viruses separated, and left alone from living organisms are completely lifeless, but when placed inside a cell the virus takes on all the characteristics of being "alive"Ratohnhaketon said: Human life is a philosophical term that people love to arbitrarily define based on convenience.

After all, the majority of people who get abortions are the poor. And like I've been saying over and over....ironically enough, Trump received a good amount of white rural women (more than likely poor or lower middle class) voters. |

If the mother is in risk of losing her life because of the baby and an abortion would be the best way to reassure she lives, what's going to happen if the State she lives in outlaws abortion? Perhaps she'll die? That's always a possibility. And yet you could say the same thing about abortion. When you think about it, this kind of abortion actually would save one life. If the mother dies, the baby dies too :P |

traed said: It's not consistent to say that a baby isn't living before a certain time period but then to say that if you work really hard, you can keep it from dying. A baby's heart is pumping its own blood as early as the first month. Breathing in what sense? Plants don't have lungs but they respire. Once again, these standards for what life is are opinionated and based off of philosophical convenience rather than scientific principle. Biology doesn't lie and it doesn't care about your feelings of revolution and empowerment regarding a primarily reproductive activity.Ratohnhaketon said: traed said: Ratohnhaketon said: traed said: Human life is a philosophical term that people love to arbitrarily define based on convenience.
