    On 18 Aug 2024, Mike Powell said the following...


    I agree it should be rare and early. Many/most states where abortion is no longer legal had restrictions on when an abortion could happen.

    "Day of delivery" is questionable. Once they are in labor, they are in labor and the baby is going to be delivered. No states allow
    infanticide.


    Abortion is legal in all 50 states. What is different now is there are states that won't do it after so many weeks ...a few are even looking at heart beat rule. If you really want to kill your baby you have options

    There was a time California was offering taxpayer funded flights for anyone who wanted an abortion... Sometimes the distance between states is a short drive... Maybe you live in Indiana and you had to drive to Illinois because of law variations... You still get the abortion...

    Women have all kinds of support. Women can have sex with as many partners as they want. Shaming women for open sexuality is a thing of the past... for the most part.

    They have access to all kinds of contraception, all kinds.

    If they want an abortion they have access... No matter where you are you can get one.... Some states you'll have to act early where as some you get get them up to 15 months, no questions.

    If you go ahead with the baby. The baby daddy will be on the hook to pay for the next 25 years...

    Women now have no fault divorce... Some poor bastard falls in love with the wrong women and she takes the kids and house and he looses everything and has to work like a bastard to keep everything a float... sleeping on a mattress on the floor while she's banging a new friend in the house he still paying for.

    And all I think... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... If you want an abortion do it in the first trimester... if you need on after that point there needs to be a reason.

    Abortion is back in the news today...

    Headline...

    Planned Parenthood Reaches a New Low: Bus Traveling to DNC Will Offer Free Abortions and Vasectomies at DNC in Chicago

    Yes that's right... They are offering free abortions and vasectomies at the DNC.


    They were not talking about viable births. The discussion at that point would be do we let the non-viable born baby die naturally, or extend its life with pallative care until the parents are ready to pull the plug.

    Just like with any other dying person.


    Problem is I heard it myself. A Dr should through everything he knows into saving lives. I understand old people may have "Do Not Resuscitate" orders on their records... I understand that.

    You don't take a new born baby make it comfortable while you talk to mom about killing it.


    I agree. It is no longer a national matter but a matter in each state. That said, I can see which party it is that tries to push their morals so hard on everyone else that they've not only made abortion completely illegal, they got in a hurry, screwed up, and made things like IVF and
    "if the mother's health is at risk" also illegal (HINT: They were not Democrats).

    I an also see which party, in my state, was running a candidate who
    wanted to track the movements of women of child bearing age to make sure they didn't travel to states where abortion is still legal (HINT: he
    was not a Democrat and he lost).

    If something is against your religion and morals, don't do it.

    If something is against your religion and morals, and you don't want anyone to do it, then you had better be willing to adopt a lot of kids
    or have your tax money going to support them. You cannot have both.
    For those who think they can have both, then it is not about their religion, morals, or "the children" but their own meanness.


    The US is the only country that guarantees individual rights... I know of no other that has the setup like the US has.

    I understand fully that there is a women who is the "Host" of the pregnancy and there are somethings to consider. But at some point someone has to ask themselves where does life begin... and when asking that question one should ask when does that life get afforded their constitutional rights.

    These are honest questions.

    I recall a few years back that some state wanted to charge someone for double homicide because they killed a pregnant woman. The left fought this tooth and nail because they didn't want the president of calling an unborn fetus a "person" in the criminal courts because in doing so might backfire on the abortion industry.

    There is a statistic that is always misquoted... ~ 70% of Americans support abortions... That number is true when you have them early... Once you go stupid and try to have them latter... like at or on the day of birth that number drops dramatically... Maybe only Hillary Clinton and a few of her aides.

    I wished it was like years ago... Safe, rare and legal... BTW, I heard an old video of Hillary saying that as they were talking about the abortion truck going to the DNC.

    No it is not. Just looking at my state, states that surround it, and a
    couple of others I am aware of because they've been in the news:

    *Illegal* in Kentucky, since August, 2022 unless there is a
    proven risk of possible death or permanent injury to the mother. There is
    no rape or incest exception.

    *Illegal* in Missouri except in cases of medical emergency. No rape
    or incest exceptions.

    *Illegal* in Alabama since June, 2022, unless there is a serious
    health risk to the mother. There is no rape or incest exception. IVF is
    also on shaky ground there as frozen embryoes are considered living children.

    *Illegal* in West Virginia except in cases of rape, incest, fatal
    fetal abnormalities, or when the mother's life is at risk.

    *Illegal* in Tennessee, "from the moment of fertilization," unless the
    mother's life is at risk or if the mother has a "serious risk of substantial, irreversable impairment of a major bodily function." No apparent excetions
    for rape or incest.

    *Illegal* in Indiana unless fatal fetal abnormalitis are detected; if
    the life or physical health of the mother are at risk; or within the first
    10 weeks in the case of rape or incest.

    *Legal* in Ohio up until the point of "fetal viability," and this is
    a part of their state constitution.

    *Legal* in Virginia until the end of the second trimester.

    *Legal* In Illinois, and I could not find any mention of restriction,
    other than infaticide is illegal.

    *Legal* in your home state of Florida, *if* it happens within the first 6 weeks; within the first 15 weeks if the women can prove the pregnancy was the result of rape, incest, or human trafficking; before the third trimester if 2 doctors certify a fetal abnormality or; at any time, with a doctor's certification, if the mother faces issues similar to the health exceptions
    that Tennessee allows.

    IMHO, Ohio got it right. Maybe Virginia got it right. The other states
    are too restrictive, except Illinois which may not be restrictive enough.

    There was a time California was offering taxpayer funded flights for anyone wh
    wanted an abortion... Sometimes the distance between states is a short drive..
    Maybe you live in Indiana and you had to drive to Illinois because of law variations... You still get the abortion...

    So now you are admitting it might be illegal in some states?

    As I pointed out before, we had a Republican governor's candidate here, who made it to the general election, that wanted to track (and restrict) the movements of women of child bearing age to make sure they didn't travel to Illinois or Virginia. His supporters supported that idea. Luckily he lost.

    Also, although it is legal in some states, where you have to drive to in
    order to get one might make things difficult. When it was legal in
    Kentucky, there was only *one* clinic, in Louisville, that would perform abortions. Towards the time it became illegal, there were two, both in Louisville. There were plenty of other places that masqueraded as
    "clinics" but that wouldn't actually provide abortions to women who showed
    up there. Most of them didn't even have doctors on staff.

    You also have to have someone willing to travel with you, who can drive,
    which brings us to...

    Women have all kinds of support.

    Support depends on whether or not baby daddy accepts that it is his,
    and what your family (especially parents) think of a potential
    out-of-wedlock kid, and whether or not you can find someone willing to
    drive you to and from whatever city in whatever state that actually will
    allow you to get the procedure done.

    Women can have sex with as many partners as
    they want. Shaming women for open sexuality is a thing of the past... for the
    most part.

    I think some of this depends on where you live. Not being shamed is not a thing of the past here. Maybe in Florida it is, but not in most of the South, or Midwest.

    They have access to all kinds of contraception, all kinds.

    This also depends some on where you live, whether or not you can take birth control pills (some women cannot), and also whether or not your partner is willing to use the types available to him.

    If you go ahead with the baby. The baby daddy will be on the hook to pay for the next 25 years...

    Maybe, maybe not. I used to work with Child Support here in Kentucky, and there are a lot of ways baby daddy can get out of paying, including being violent towards mother or baby.

    And all I think... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... If you want an abortion do it in the
    first trimester... if you need on after that point there needs to be a reason.

    I mostly agree. After the point of fetal viability, it should be
    questioned.

    They were not talking about viable births. The discussion at that point would be do we let the non-viable born baby die naturally, or extend its life with pallative care until the parents are ready to pull the plug.

    Just like with any other dying person.

    their records... I understand that.

    You don't take a new born baby make it comfortable while you talk to mom about
    killing it.

    You should if it is dying and there is no hope of saving it. Do you think
    they should leave baby uncomfortable, not discuss what to do, and just wait
    for baby to die?

    The US is the only country that guarantees individual rights... I know of no other that has the setup like the US has.

    Agreed.

Also irritates me when people act like you cannot be moral without also being religious. I don't need to believe in a god to know it's not right to kill people, lie, cheat, steal, etc.

    Some other politician should sponsor a bill that requires the Quran to be posted in schools - using the exact same language of the commandments bill, just swapping Quran for 10 commandments. I'd love to see the religious right lose their shit over that, and I'd be curious to see how they can scream about that whilst defending the Christian version lol

    is no rape or incest exception.

    Wikipedia says....

    Prior to 2019, Kentucky law prohibited abortions after week 22. This changed when the state legislature passed a law that moved the prohibition to week 6 in the early part of the year. A bill passed and made effective in April 2022 lowered the threshold to 15 weeks, the second most restrictive limit in effect in the United States behind Texas, and introduced regulations that made abortion illegal until it was blocked in federal court.

    Anyway... Did some reading and there are states that restrict access. It doesn't change my argument though.

    In a representative republic it's the people who decide. If I was all in on abortions I'd be in contact with my representative.

    There has to be a happy medium between later-term and partial birth Abortions... and banning them entirely.

    I think the Feds should stay out of it... but if they had to get involved they can cap things at 15 weeks with some exceptions...


    So now you are admitting it might be illegal in some states?


    What I did say is this... If you want to kill your baby on it's delivery day California will pay for your flight. If you don't like Texas' law move or be active with your representative and demand change

    I think the laws should reflect the way the Democrats sold Abortion to us... Rare, Safe and Legal.

    Again this are my feelings and beliefs. I see that I would never get exactly what I want.... and I'd be willing to concede a little on this...

    Ladies... If you don't want to get pregnant don't have sex with people who can get you pregnant. If you get pregnant and don't want it get an abortion early. If you go ahead with the pregnancy there are a million options for you.

    Men... If you don't want you babies killed don't have sex with someone who can get pregnant by you, she can end your child's life without your consent. AND men... Do not let that pretty $100 dress, fake nails and makeup turn into 100's of thousands of dollars in child support.

    rent the stuff... BJ cost $500 pesos in the Dominican Republic... Keep your assets and enjoy life!!!

    BTW... DNC is giving free abortions this week in Chicago!!!


    Support depends on whether or not baby daddy accepts that it is his,
    and what your family (especially parents) think of a potential out-of-wedlock kid, and whether or not you can find someone willing to drive you to and from whatever city in whatever state that actually will allow you to get the procedure done.



    You should get on youtude... State does DNA tests and takes money directly from his check.

    True story... I was getting a haircut... Walmart... the guy cutting my hair was talking about how his baby mamas, there was 2, were busting his balls. Someone walked and gave him an envelope... pay stub... he opened it... and all he was paid was $12 for 2 weeks of work... Baby mamas get his entire check.

    I asked him nicely if he could finish my hair before he did anything else.

    I seen a few too many episodes on Maury Povich were by it look like some women were making sure they had 6 baby daddies rather than 1 baby daddy for 6 babies.

    There is a responsibility ti your choices. Soooooooooo many options...

    Live with the consequences...

    Don't have coitus if there is a chance you'll get pregnant.

    They might start by reading the Quran and then comparing it to the Bible, which is an almost verbatim copy.

    What if you don't have an employer?

    LOL. Wait for it...

    Then you still don't pay anything. DUH!

    The internet says:

    "The Swedish health care system is mainly government-funded, universal for all citizens and decentralized, although private health care also exists. The health care system in Sweden is financed primarily through *taxes* levied by county councils and municipalities.

    "By 2015 the cost of health and medical care had risen to 11.9% of GDP -the highest in Europe. Seventy-one percent of health care is funded through local taxation and county councils have the right to collect income tax. The state finances the bulk of health care costs, with the patient paying a small
    nominal fee for examination. The state pays for approximately 97% of medical costs."

    So you pay some for examinations, and you pay all of your prescription
    costs until a limit kicks in, afterwhich the government picks it up by
    using *tax money*.

    The internet also tells me that corporations must pay a percentage of the sick employee's wage while they are off sick, but only for the first 14 days, afterwhich the government pays the percentage... again, out of *tax money*.

    The internet also tells me that the Swedish government takes about half of
    each *employee's* paycheck in *taxes* which are used to support the government health care system, child care system, and education system. For more than
    40 years, Sweden has had some of the highest taxes in the world in order to
    pay for these things.

    So, do I believe the internet (where I can read the sources that are
    cited), or do I believe Bjorn, who provides no sources?

    Nothing is free.

    They are also giving vasectomies, as you pointed out previously. They apparently interviewed, on the news, at least one man who was getting one.
    If you are a Republican, the idea of future Democrats being nipped in the
    bud should be a happy thing, right? ;)

    You should get on youtude... State does DNA tests and takes money directly fro
    his check.

    States will do tests if baby mama will provide a name and if the person
    named can be found. If they are believed to be abusive, this state won't
    look for them because they don't want daddy having any contact with mother
    or baby.

    Having worked with Child Support I can guarantee you that for every baby
    daddy in that situation, there is at least one kid out there who doesn't
    have any baby daddy money coming in. Even the ones that have some money
    coming in, the taxpayers are paying for them, too.

    The daddies in your barber's situation either manned up and agreed to pay,
    were married to the mother, or somehow otherwise got tracked down.

    I asked him nicely if he could finish my hair before he did anything else.

    Good idea. Hope he didn't take too much off!

    The internet says:

    The internet is a network, just like Fidonet. It doesn't say shit. Maybe you are thinking of the WWW?

    Language.

    Anyway, the sources you are using are wrong on so many points, I'll not even try to correct all of them. I suggest that you ask Grok for a more accurate answer to any question you may have.

    I am guessing that Grok is some sort of AI?

    The places (plural) I found my info included plenty of links to reputable sources... no FOX News, no OAN, no right wing/conservative think tanks...
    and I trust those sources over a Bjorn or any source that Bjorn might
    suggest, unless I have heard of it and believe it to be reputable.

    Nothing is free... well unless you are a Swede who does not work and has no income. Then it sounds like it is "free."

    You haven't even heard about her? Figurs.

    But as usual, without any links. Yeah, figurs, that too.

    and I trust those sources over a Bjorn or any source that Bjorn might suggest, unless I have heard of it and believe it to be reputable.

    So you don't think that this imaginary Bjorn person of yours knows what he is paying for? But you know, after a couple of minutes with Google? Don't you know how much you pay? Dunning-Kruger, for sure.

    It's funny you should mention that. I'm not working. I retired more than ten years ago and am now living on my very generous pension, which I know very well (DUH!) and haven't paid a single cent for. So yeah, it's free. Thanks for finally admitting to it.

    Hello Gregory,

    Acquitted? An impeachment is not a criminal proceeding and DJT AI>was not
    acquitted of anything. This was a major republican failure AI>to act.

    You have much to learn.
    In the message you are to read or ignore - I have captured the essence of Great legal minds, all of which would proclaim you to be idiot.

    Donald Trump was successfully impeached - twice - by the US House
    of Representatives. Majority vote was all that was needed - regardless
    of party. And then trial was held in the US Senate. Where the accused
    was convicted by majority vote. The only "failure" was (as Alan noted) republicans decision not to remove Trump from office.

    Just wanted to pass that along as a public service message who would take the time to be offended or take no offense and of course not be offended.

    Impeachment is forever. Kind of like indelible ink. The stain can
    never be removed. And Trump managed to get two of them.

    An impeachment according to
    https://tinyurl.com/2p9dkh7x
    An Impeachment is the process of bringing
    charges against a government official for wrongdoing. A trial may be held, and the official may be removed from office. My point is that these baseless efforts failed. Twice, with the acquittals.

    Trump was impeached (twice) by the US House of Representatives.
    Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers (US Senate).
    He was not removed from office, which is a different matter.

    Donald Trump has been convicted of criminal charges and he has more
    charges to answer for.

    Trumps supporters are only growing larger from what they were.

    Harris' lead in the polls is growing larger from what they were.
    So much so that she is in the lead, with Trump trailing badly.

    But that is beside the point. Trump is a convicted felon, having
    been found guilty of having committed criminal acts. With more
    counts pending. He will be sentenced in due time, and escorted
    off the stage to a galaxy far, far away ...

    These "so called charges" that you speak have back fired and to coin a phrase "Big League" The Charges... had a complete opposite effect of what they intended do.

    The term "convicted felon" will soon be changed to "convicted
    felon sentenced to jail" - thus making things clearer for MAGA
    idiots to understand.

    The plan was to destroy Trump with this fever pitch rhetoric.
    The plain and simple truth is the Left painted Trump with a broad brush with
    their haste, and they screwed up... So Bad.. (Christopher Walken)

    We tried to draft Christopher Walken for President. He is from
    Queens, and speaks fluent Y'at. But Kamala is bitch, and Walken
    turned it down.

    Trump for 77 years was a golden to everyone, he had a great presidency (Yes I do have that list of accomplishments and it is long.)
    Out no where Trump *WAS* facing a Frankenstein ruling in New York.

    Dr. Frankenstein's monster was done away with, and now we will soon
    have a black woman as POTUS. And what a wonderful world that will be.

    But before then, time for some amusement -

    Aaron Rodgers' second attempt to jumpstart the New York Jets.
    His first outing only lasted a few short plays. Could not even
    get a single first down. Maybe this time around he will last
    a bit longer. Might even complete a pass.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Impeachment is forever. Kind of like indelible ink. The stain can
    never be removed. And Trump managed to get two of them.

    What will also be remembered is the democrats w/ their seething hatred along with their but-hurt feelings who rushed to judge an innocent man.
    Crying and sobbing they stepped on to their high house only to be pushed off of it via the acquittals.

    This is really old news now.
    Your attempt to pull something out of this is pointless.
    Due to the outcome of how it ended. It remains a Win for us and still is a loss for you and for people who think just like you do.
    If you really want to get that lump of agony in your throat all over again.
    So be it.

    The Trump administration has released an unclassified transcript of President Trump's July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky:

    https://tinyurl.com/3ybjh4s8

    Quid Pro Quo Joe:
    Biden Brags About Getting Ukraine Prosecutor Viktor Shokin Fired https://tinyurl.com/3mrchsd6

    Recording of calls between Joe Biden and ex-Ukraine President Poroshenko leaked | New York Post
    https://tinyurl.com/3skcmftb

    The first charged the President with abuse of power, alleging that he had used the powers of his office to solicit Ukraine's interference in the 2020 election and had conditioned official acts, such as the release of military aid to Ukraine and a White House visit, on President Zelenskyy agreeing to announce the investigations. "President Trump," the article alleged, "engaged in this scheme or course of conduct for corrupt purposes in pursuit of personal political benefit."

    Trump being aware of what Biden did illegally, he did not want to same corruption to continue to occur.

    How is what Joe Biden did any different and why is he given a pass, when there is video-graphic evidence of Biden committing Quid Pro Quo.
    Again in case you missed it.
    https://tinyurl.com/3mrchsd6

    The second article charged the President with obstruction of the House impeachment investigation by directing the "unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives."11 "This abuse of office," the article alleged, was "subversive of constitutional government" and "nullif[ied] a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the House of Representatives."12

    Donald Trump has been convicted of criminal charges and he has more
    charges to answer for.

    That is crok too, it's for the billboards and also largely so that these deranged democrats can go around and spit again and and again
    "convicted felon."
    Why? In hope of hopes that this will resonate and stick come election day. Instead... It has backfired and blew up in their face.
    People aren't as stupid as the left thinks.
    They see the smear campaign by the left.
    It's all done to evoke fear - page ripped out of the Democratic play book.

    Trumps supporters are only growing larger from what they were.

    Harris' lead in the polls is growing larger from what they were.
    So much so that she is in the lead, with Trump trailing badly.

    Harris is a circus -
    That CNN sit down with Harris did not go as well.
    It was a 40 minute interview edited down to 14 minutes by CNN.
    There are many videos which analyze facial expressions - pressed annoyed lips and odd head movements, when answering CNN'S Dana Bash.
    No one is going to fooled by this flip flopping kamala Karma Chameleon.

    Trump for 77 years was a golden to everyone, he had a great presidenc (Yes I do have that list of accomplishments and it is long.)
    Out no where Trump *WAS* facing a Frankenstein ruling in New York.

    Dr. Frankenstein's monster was done away with, and now we will soon
    have a black woman as POTUS. And what a wonderful world that will be.

    Just as wonderful as the first Black man as President...
    We all saw how that turned out.
    This moron started America's road to ruin.
    which is why Trump will Make America Great again.
