Can you help me make sense of this?

The right has limited the chance for millions of women to have an abortion, but now wants to severely cut (or eliminate), aid for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

If I understand what I've read, the right says you have no choice, you will carry the fetus to full-term and we will make sure you and the child starve.

What is this insanity?

Not everyone who is pro life is against public assistance. No one is forcing children to starve. Women can choose adoption. It should be obvious to women to use contraception when having consensual sex or make sure their partner uses a condom if they don’t want to be pregnant.

@missyann And here we go again. Let me ask you this. Is this a person?

@LordShadowfire Why does it matter if it is human or not ?

Is this not the life of “A” species in its embryonic stage?

@LordShadowfire CorusBlackthrne posted that you were convicted of a crime that you were innocent of. It didn’t say exactly what crime it was but it indicated that it was rape. I’m truly sorry. No innocent man EVER deserves that ..

This is why I have a big problem with some women saying that they were date raped or raped years earlier or those who lie about their age. Some legitimately were, but others just don’t want to accept that they made bad choices or for fame in cases like Brett Kavenaugh.

The false accusations can ruin a man’s life forever. It is a blatant disregard and disrespect for women who have been truly raped,

No, he said I met people who were innocent. There's a difference. For example, I met a gentleman who had a son with special needs. Kid was so unable to take care of himself that his father had to wipe for him after he went to the bathroom. Bless him, the father tried to make it fun for everybody by inventing little songs while he took care of the most disgusting personal care. One day, the son was at school, and he started singing a song he had invented because he was inspired by his father's toilet time songs. Unfortunately, a teacher heard his song, and misunderstood it to me and he was being sexually abused.

I met his father while he was doing a mandatory minimum 75-month sentence. The child was presumably taken away and put in a group home setting.

Some legitimately were, but others just don’t want to accept that they made bad choices or for fame in cases like Brett Kavenaugh.
No, I don't think that's what happened with him. What happened is he's rich and powerful and spoiled and can get away with it.
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire Well we’re going to have to disagree on the reasoning for Kavenaugh. I forgot to add Trump to the fame seeker attackers also

@missyann You're really funny when you want to be.



Oh, wait, you were serious?
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire Yes, I’m serious because these women waited until these guys were in the limelight before they made their allegations years later
Anton · 61-69, M
@missyann An even better solution is keeping those legs closed if they can't afford the consequences.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Anton Is that what you say to rape victims? Or child abuse victims? There's an 11-year-old girl right now having to cross state lines to get an abortion because of people like you.
Anton · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire As usual. Use the 0.003 % of extreme cases to valid the other 99,9993%
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Anton As usual, ignore the fact that women and children are suffering for your agenda.
Anton · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire There are no agenda. May women would "suffer" less if they keep their legs closed and keep in marriage what needs to take place in marriage
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Anton Bull fucking shit, there's no agenda. Why are women being denied essential medical care, then? There are pregnant women being denied chemotherapy because it might potentially cause a miscarriage. There are children who are forced to carry their rapists' offspring to term. Women who are forced to give birth to already dead fetuses.

This is not a bug. This is a feature. This is the war on women.
Anton · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire Why not, with the same enthusiasm, not wage a war on rapists and pedo's the such? But noooo, you put them in presidential positions and protect them, then you want to shift blame onto those that ACTUALLY makes a difference?

I don't know. You people prefer to attack the victims.

Really? That's your fucking reason?

Okay, think about this for a second. Let's say some guy at Harvard never quite learned the concept of consent. He goes around harassing female students, and occasionally committing what could be considered sexual assaults at parties. Some of the women consider reporting him, but he's rich, and his parents are well connected. If these female students cause too much trouble for him, he could simply have them expelled. So they decide he's a piece of shit, and not worth their time.

20 years later, now this same piece of shit is being nominated for the Supreme Court. This sexual assault her and rapist is now going to be presiding over the highest court in the land. The stakes have now changed, and he can no longer retaliate against anyone who tells the truth about him, so they come out and talk about what happened back at Harvard.

But according to you, those ladies are liars.
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire I never said they were liars . I said they were fame seekers. Why didn’t she accuse him when he graduated or before he became a regular judge? That would’ve been the time to do a breathing him from even going into you the legal system.. you do the right thing when it happens
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@missyann
I never said they were liars . I said they were fame seekers.
If you don't claim they aren't telling the truth, what's the difference why they did it?
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire I am NOT saying it’s not true. I am saying that they should report it when it happens. Not 20 or 30 years later
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@missyann And again, what does it matter when they reported it? I gave you a perfectly reasonable scenario in which it would be detrimental to their careers to report it when it happened.
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire The reason people doubt their stories is because they waited. You do the right thing at the time. Again if she was so traumatized why didn’t she file charges when he graduated or when he first became a judge? Surely she would have thought he shouldn’t become a judge at all. Why wait until he was nominated for the Supreme Court?

Shouldn’t we be arresting boys in grade school , middle school and high school for chasing girls playing spin the bottle and flirting? Sadly I’ve seen women acting the aggressor being drunk or high and then be embarrassed and lie about it and accusing the guy
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@missyann

Even if it would have literally destroyed their careers and ruined their lives? You go after a Brett Kavanaugh type who has connections at every level in the Harvard ranks, you might as well kiss your own future goodbye. But I guess that's what you think they should have done in order to be believed.
Again if she was so traumatized why didn’t she file charges when he graduated or when he first became a judge?
Have you kept track of the lives of everybody you went to college with, assuming you went? I'm guessing no. Especially if somebody becomes a county or state level judge, because their safety depends on privacy. Sounds to me like you just want to blame the victims.
Shouldn’t we be arresting boys in grade school , middle school and high school for chasing girls playing spin the bottle and flirting?
Now you're comparing college men to literal children. What the actual fuck? Do you genuinely think a 21-year-old man has the same characteristics as a third grader? Tell me you're not this dumb.
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire You are so ready to crucify Kavenaugh for a crime he may or may not have committed 30 years ago
Because he is a conservative and scream just as hard to crucify, the innocent victims with abortion of true rapist crimes and never scream for these rapist to be crucified. Why is this? Why is it just conservative politicians or those in high government positions ?
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@missyann
You are so ready to crucify Kavenaugh for a crime he may or may not have committed 30 years ago...
And here we go with this shit. You can't come up with a good, logical response to what I said, so you launch into a very predictable attack on me, distorting truth and twisting facts, all because you can't stand the fact that I gave you some very good reasons why those women might have waited.
Why is it just conservative politicians...
Well, you really hear about folks on the left getting themselves into this kind of position, now do you? When they do, I want to see that pursued.
...or those in high government positions ?
When the fuck did I say that? Show me where I said I'm only in favor of pursuing people in high government positions. Quote me saying that. You can't, because you're lying again.
missyann · 56-60
@LordShadowfire I didn’t say you said people in high government, but that’s the position Kavenaugh is he in.

I personally don’t think the reasons you gave are valid. If it wasn’t traumatic enough for her 30 years ago to press charges, then 30 years later, it shouldn’t be traumatic enough.

She couldn’t even remember a lot of the details, and she had no witnesses that could say it definitely happened

Libs made a fool out of her
