Right. I recall the right's "culture of life" that refused to give a 10-year-old who was raped an abortion that would save her life. And when she went out of state to get one, threatened to go after the doctor who saved her life. And is now refusing to abort a dead fetus that may just make the woman carrying it sterile. But hey, as long as they own the libs that's all that matters, right? You must have missed the last four years; the republicans have been ready to announce impeachement Any Day Now since he was first elected, just as soon as someone tells them what they can impeach him for. It tells you a lot about how republicans think that the impeachement was announced long before they had anything to impeach him for. Again, owning the libs as opposed to anything resembling justice.

Democrats shouldn't be trying to negotiate exceptions, like 15 weeks; rape, incest or health of the pregnant person; etc. They should come at this from the other side: all medical procedures are allowable, with the decision resting between the person needing/wanting the procedure and the medical provider. If someone wants an exception, they have to show why any procedure should be prohibited or disallowed.

Seen elsewhere: The woman who was instrumental in getting Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' law passed is now PERSONALLY responsible for thousands of kids learning what 'menage a trois' means.

and the Moms for Liberty Anti-LGBTQ+ lady is apparently, at the very least, LGB....

The republicans that refuse to allow a woman to cross state lines for that medically needed abortion will allow someone to cross states to commit murder like Rittenhouse did.

Only in the leftie brain does saying gender is binary equals hate speech but calling for the genocide of Jews “needs context”

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/08/us/texas-abortion-court-ken-paxton.html this is just horrendous. I wonder if the AG even considered the fetus’s fatal condition before appealing. Last time I checked he isn’t a doctor. Also, the fact that women need court approvals to seek medical procedures is simply ridiculous.

So she's left Texas for the procedure, according to her lawyers,

I watch a lot more Fox News than I'd like to. In TX it's often on in a restaurant if we go out for lunch, half the time it's on in the lobby of my office. If that's your source for 'real news', Democrats are incompetent, weak, authoritarian, super-evil-geniuses, country-haters and bad-breath-having pedophiles (it's a fun game they have, you can mix up those options in different combinations). I think if that's your reality as a starting point, then why would you ever support a Democrat? I imagine this stunt by Paxton will be a bit of a wakeup call to some, but I wouldn't bet on it being enough to move the needle.

No 20 year loss in achievement. We lost the equivalent of four months in math and three months in reading. That was the cost; the benefit was saving hundreds of thousands of lives. A fair trade IMO. True dat. Republicans should be loving this.

The funniest part about this "documentary" is that that's how they wanted to make it initially. And then they found out that sports associations don't actually just let any 'dude in a dress' show up and play, they would have had to go on HRT for years and proven this (amongst other things). So they pivoted and made it fictional, because the entire premise of the movie just doesn't happen in the real world. Funny that, huh?

and no pro-life people commenting on this thread, because the stance is indefensible in any way shape or form. But ultra-conservatives never cared about that.

David, his name is Ken Paxton. You are probably busy studying or I would say look this guy up. He is among the worst of TX politicians. Even his own party hates him.

Oh, I’m sure he did. But doubling down on “pro-life at any cost” always trumps sense. Wendy P.

Perhaps it's asking too much of the Founding Fathers to have anticipated modern weaponry when all their experience was with muskets. I'm quite sure I would not be up to proposing laws to govern use of technology 200 years in the future. Also, at the first census in 1790 the total US population was 3.9 million, of whom 20% were slaves, and mostly people lived in rural areas, not cities. School shootings and other mass murders were non-existent, and I doubt anyone could have anticipated the modern US fascination with guns for guns' sake. In the Founding Fathers day guns were utilitarian tools, like plows and axes, not objects of worship as they are to so many today. Our modern problem with guns is a creature of our own manufacture. There is also a problem that it has become all but impossible to amend the constitution. Again that is not the Founding Fathers fault. They created a system to amend the constitution, and for centuries that was done not infrequently. It was never easy, but if an idea had widespread popular support it could be done. In the last 50+ years it has become effectively impossible to amend, largely due to entrenched political polarization in a two-party system. The interpretation of the 2nd amendment has changed radically in recent decades, away from a view that ties it to participation in militias towards an absolutist right of virtually anyone (including mentally ill people who legally cannot even manage their own financial affairs) to own weapons of almost any description. Most people support some limitations, such as background checks, but it is politically impossible to amend the 2nd to allow any constraints, even if they are widely supported.

Mind you that his attire changed abruptly when it was implied that he was gay. When he was offered a discharge for homosexuality, he put on a uniform and finished his tour.
