    Admittedly, it really is a complicated issue. I certainly don't want to see any so-called back alley abortions as a result of the laws of the land. However, I would to see more education surrounding the issue. Abortions are not some simple medical procedure. There are potentially severe emotion ramifications connected to them...especially as it relates to teen girls. s I see it, though, Liberal policies don't want to discuss that. Abortions are viewed as some type of liberating procedure...freeing the woman from her "burden" and that all will be well in the aftermath. Again, I wish there would be more education around all that.

    Anyhoo, I found a couple of interesting articles for you as you continue to recuperate:

    https://www.vox.com/2019/4/10/18295513/abortion-2020-roe-joe-biden-democrats-republicans

    https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/10/27/16526392/trump-voters-abortion-pro-choice-pro-life

    As to divorce, that's an apples-to-oranges conversation to me as divorce doesn't involve the elimination of a human being.

    But aren't you against sex education being taught in school or am I thinking of someone else?

    That would be the VP that @ABM supports.

    You should make "Free castrations" your campaign slogan.

    The reality of the situation is that people make mistakes or (worse) forced into the situation. So the question is - is it a one mistake and you are out situation or do we give people some time to go fix them problem (abortions).

    I honestly can not see how anyone can be a proponent of the "one mistake and you are out" doctrine and still be a Trump supporter. It's logically impossible.

    I think the old school status quo within that party have been exposed as lazy by some pissed off freshman who would have been muzzled if their were a more competent president to tolerate...Trump has brought this onslaught of ridiculous threat and false truths to the boiling point for too many people who either address it now or lose all credibility....I'm hoping that in the future we have stricter vetting for elected officials before they are accepted as candidates and that we have term limits for legislators and Supreme Court judges.

    This is just patently wrong....I'm sure it happens but you're whitewashing what drives most women to terminate a pregnancy

    You seem to be under the impression that there is a method to their support. The whole party is full of hypocrisy. That guy is a serial womanizer who has no respect for anybody. Yet he upholds Christian Values, apparently and deserves a vote.

    Instead of abortions the embryo should be removed and frozen for later implantation into a woman who wants a child.

    I'm sure that would satisfy everyone.

    I guess I agree, the Democrats are winning this impeachment issue because the opponent is even more incompetent.

    I'm certainly about the education of kids as it pertains to the dangers and health concerns of pre-maritial sex. Not that they'll all follow it, but that's still not an excuse for eliminating the education altogether.

    Still waiting for what's left of the GOP to finally stand up and show some backbone and do what's right instead of what's right for their party.

    ...and while I'm on my soap box, term limits, PLEASE.

    Even more hilarious is his wife's campaign of anti cyber bullying where as her husband is one of the biggest abusers of cyber bullying, The hypocrisy of this family knows no limits.

    You mean his third wife who he has repeatedly cheated on, and once (with an adult film star that he paid off) while she was pregnant?

    I wish I was exaggerating.

    This gets down to the basic divide on the issue, imo. Personally I dont feel the same as you about the fetus being a human with human rights, but thats not the point, It just makes it easier for me to be ok with the procedure if all else fails. I agree that the proceed can be traumatic and cause regret in some individuals. I think the trauma is greater on the parent (especially a teen), the child and society if we force people to carry to term babys that they are not emotionally, physically or financially able to support.

    I think there is a moral trade off on both points of view though. Liberals think the moral trade off is a greater good allowing the abortion and letting the few who regret it suffer with their decision. Conservatives feel that the moral trade off is greater by not allowing an abortion knowing people will unsafely get them anyway and the ones who dont will suffer through raising an unwanted child.

    I might be ok with a more conservative view point if they weren't moving to restrict access to birth control, health care and limit education at every opportunity. It just feels really hypocritical.

    You're a veritable cyber bully. I've got Denny keeping an eye on you.

    Sometimes, I feel like I HAVE to use green font with you. Other times, I just take chances. I'll try to be more careful.
