Frustrating that the most extreme elements on both sides are the ones that actually get their policies implemented on this issue (Vermont is the other extreme).

6 weeks is a total ban.

Plus it encourages citizens to sue other citizens with a bounty of at least 10k ... this is absurd. How does some random person have standing to sue another random person?

Justice Alito sat on this.

The far right are always screaming a D wants to take your guns away. Far left scream a R wants to abolish abortion.

We always "that wont happen, dont worry about some extreme hypothetical used to scare voters" ...

Well it happened.

Having a hard time not thinking bad thoughts about the religious right.

America is not supposed to be a therocracy. Religious political activism is not cool.

I support 18 week but yes I agree - 6 weeks is effectively a total ban.

I think it was the right decision but bad planning. All of our allies should have been evacuated before a reduced military presence. I have read a lot recently that the Afghan people not really happy with the government the US established and that in and of itself is part of the collapse. I will confess after 9/11 I was more than okay with the decision to go into Afghanistan. As time went on, we killed Bin Laden and still didn't leave I began to question why we were ever there.

Not only do random citizens get a $10k reward the accused have to pay their legal fees. There is no reciprocity if you are wrongly accused.

Agreed.

The problem is now we have to rely on a SCOTUS with a 6-3 anti-abortion majority to say that this terrible law infringes on a woman's right to abortion.

It's already a red flag they declined to do anything after Monday.

The religious right only cares about babies when they're inside the womb.

The GOP is a fucking joke. A sick, disgusting, outdated, old, white joke.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread

Can't believe "conservatives" here are having a discussion about when killing a baby is OK or not OK. Like there is some sort of magic drop-dead date.

Abortions have and always will be targeted towards minorities by the way. So if you are a white liberal who constantly pretends like you are the great white hope for all non-white people, please fucking spare me. Abortions kill way more non-white people, than all other deaths combined, in America every year. And it's promoted by democrats like the future of America depends on aborting babies.

I feel like abortion is a conversation about a woman's right to choose, and you're trying to make into a conversation about minorities (not sure what your exact point is).

You say targeted - how do abortion providers target minorities? I say people have sex and the woman gets pregnant and decides she doesn't want to keep the baby - sure maybe the demographics are tilted towards minorities - but I care about the existing and alive woman's right to choose - not towards a non-sentient fetus.

I wish you cared half as much about the young kids in this country that need help (illegal alien or not) as you do about an embryo in the womb.

I'll respond to the rest tomorrow because it needs lots of words. To the bold part, you have no fucking clue what I care about, so fuck you on that one.

I think you summed up your position pretty well.

Abortion - bad.

Sorry it's come to this. I will always prioritize the well-being of an existing woman over an unborn fetus. If you support this shit law that literally encourages and rewards nosy assholes to pry into their neighbor's behavior fuck you too.

Why don't we just go ahead and rewrite the constitution so the basis of our republic is intertwined between church and state.

Lol, this is a recurring theme. Don't do things I personally agree with = you're a shithole

The importance liberals put on killing babies is so weird.

You use the word "religion" and we all know you mean Christian like we're some sort of plague. If you're Christian you can't have an opinion. Godless people are the best, they should make all decisions.

And I didn't say fuck you, I said fuck you on that one, where you presume to know what I care about. Then you double down on speaking for me.

If my opinion is abortion bad, yours is abortion good. I'd much rather be on the side of actual life not some BS like well-being.

And as a note - I don't agree with allowing tattle-tales to make money off of being rats.
