I do not view abortion as a, um, as choice and a right. I think it’s always a tragedy. And I think that it should be rare and safe, and I think we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions. And there ought to be able to have a common ground and consensus as to do that.”

2022

It's a sad day for the country.

Nearly 50 years ago, Roe vs. Wade was decided. Today, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people.

Personal freedoms are on the ballot this fall.

I don't understand why you dislike Biden, he is Republican-Lite, not a "liberal" as your side keeps labeling him when it suits your narrative that everyone who is not Trump is a raging commie

He is what a moderate looked like..there is no room for independent thought these days…
Us and them only..@SW-User

@SW-User It was a simple question.
I don't like most politicians, it just happens that he's the current President.

@SW-User what is the mythical centrist, moderate, "independent thought," Republican-Lite position on inherently yes and no questions about this right or another right?

You either have a right or you do not have a right, there is no murky middle ground or grey area. It does not alter the discourse or serve any other purpose to try to depict this as us versus them, pretend that we only became "divided" in the last n weeks/months/years, and invoke the perennial, wistful pining for a mythical past when it somehow was not a binary concept, when it is inherently a matter of a right versus no right, whether the year is 2022 CE or 400 BCE. A right is not Schrödinger's cat.

@SW-User …..um , ok

It seems like we are on the same side…let me clarify, if I may.

I am a proponent of universal/human rights.
However, that flies in the face of what the government “allows” us to have.

If we rely on the government, “bill of rights “ codes ,statutes …they are subject to change…because those are temporary privileges..

There are several countries that have more rights than the US does…

***Rights are to be fought for……

Looking at a politician’s career and looking for inconsistencies is easy. Thus this post is low hanging fruit.

***My point of us v them…is the political reality we live in..

As long as people stay distracted the more we will lose to interests that don’t represent us…
