    What's funny, if he is a single issue voter about abortion then he's been duped as it's been 3 1/2 years and abortions are still legal.

    And from your link it clearly states that those groups can still get taxpayer money from the state.

    That's state sponsored discrimination and it's bullshit.

    Genuinely wonder how many women Trump paid off to get abortions.

    Best argument yet for why abortion should be legal.

    I don't get why at a time where people need to come together (or I guess technically 6 feet apart) to take on an issue and public health, this is a time we are driving more wedges between all of us.
    Signing this bill, whether you agree with the agenda or not really wasn't about what's best for the hospitals and medical teams involved it was about pushing a divisive political agenda. That's why I, "sighed" when I saw this thread. That's why I find so much of our discourse as frustrating. It's absolutely ok to have opinions to share your opinions, to have respectful discourse, but purposefully driving a wedge to troll the, "other side" seems like it should be the least of our worries.

    Yes, and quite often your opinions are shown to be wrong even though you refuse to see it...Stuff like that also happens around here.

    Just because they apply for funds, doesn't necessarily mean they'll receive them. Interpret the laws however you'd like. Heck, for that matter, team up with ACLU, or whomever, to fight if the Oregon Governor were ever to sign a similar bill. Errr...wait....this is Oregon. Almost forgot. As you were.

    They're playing the long con. If Trump gets another 4 years he'll likely get to appoint another SCOTUS. Then these "pro life" people will get what they want and Trump will have directly given it to them. It's why they love him so much. He'll pander to their every backwards desire no matter what the consequence to the sane, normal people of the world.

    In his case, it's called find-play.

    Correct. I'm not.

    I've supported Trump's positions on (among other issues):

    The Economy - Domestically - and as it pertains to other nations with America's best interests in mind - sometimes, long-term)
    Immigration
    Health Care
    National Security (while making attempts to keep peace)
    Foreign Policy as a whole

    Noteworthy: Trump's approval ratings have hit their highest that I know of. I'm not alone in supporting the man...

    Huh?

    Trump hasn't done shit with health care. His big mystery plan he says he won't reveal until after he's re-elected.

    Yes, upstream but they really get desperate downstream. I wish that abortion protestors would show their concern for human life for those who are really struggling in life.

    Are you saying that his approval has now cracked the 40% barrier?
    Just out of curiosity, what is his disapproval rating?

    Repeal Obamacare! A great start and work in progress. I'm all for a competitive approach. At any rate, I wouldn't be trusting Biden to be making decisions on it.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    But they didn't repeal Obamacare, despite having the House, Senate and Presidency for two years.

    How have you found Obamacare to be negatively affecting you or society, out of curiosity?
