Sure that sounds great. Still, it’s a woman’s body. She’s second class to men if she doesn’t have body autonomy. Trying to legislate a woman’s body, ESPECIALLY BY MEN, is disgusting.

The sick thing is, when you give the government the right to tell you that you have to give birth, you’re also giving them the ability to say you can’t.
Freedom isn’t telling women what they can do with their bodies.
This exactly. Those who bring the Bible into it also don't seem to remember the Bible also says it isn't our job to judge others that is God's domain. So the government should stay the **** out of it and leave the decision to the woman and her doctors. If they are to be judged let God judge them and everyone else should mind their own damn business.
Well, he said, specifically, “there is no legislative solution” so you might want to consider him on your side. Just a thought.

Poverty is directly connected to IQ. Sugar cane farmers and their family see an over 10 point difference in their IQs during harvest season (they have money) vs growing season (when they run thin on money). Every study done on this show a 10-13 point gap in IQ amongst impoverished adults. It's even worse if you're in poverty as a child...
Analysis: How poverty can drive down intelligence
Poverty lowers your IQ — in one study, by something like 13 points.

Ann Selzer was on Morning Joe this morning, She said the tightening of the race in Iowa is being driven by Women voters, College educated voters and voters under 45 all tilting towards Harris.
So no real surprise there, She also said the data she uses basically discounted people who were not fully committed to voting in the upcoming election and instead focused on voters fully vested in voting in the upcoming election.

Argentina does a pretty good job of educating its populace. Good job Argentina. Vietnam does a pretty good job too. Obviously the US has some heavy lifters carrying the weight of a large group of people.

I do not see a point in laws that restrict abortion. I think those of us who are adamantly against abortion need to step up and help those who are considering it. That is how I am trying to live life.
If all the time, money, and energy spent on outlawing abortion were spent towards uplifting the poor and reaching out to those who think they are out of options, not only would there be less abortions but these people would also tangibly feel the love of Jesus.
I don't disagree as long as the "help" extends well past the point of birth. A far better route - as I have repeatedly stated - is to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place. Two actions - comprehensive, age-appropriate sex ed starting by third grade and easily available condoms in middle and high school - have a long and highly successful history but are rejected out-of-hand by the right-wing in favor of "abstinence only" instruction and "chastity pledges"...that spectacularly fail.
You ok with teaching our kids how to avoid getting pregnant, so they never need to consider an abortion outside of medical necessity?
Yeah, and I was just fvcking around, that's essentially Trump's tariff plan. All the good ole boys who say they like "Trump's policies" are usually ignorant of them, at least on the tariffs.
I have not given that topic any thought as all of mine are still too young. Offhand, I don’t have a problem educating/being real with kids from an educational standpoint. When that should happen, I don’t have an opinion on. I’m personally not going to expect non-believers to behave in a way that conforms to my own beliefs.
If you look at what Jesus said he basically laid out how we should live, and the pros and cons of doing so. He didn’t force anything on anyone. Who am I to not follow the same paradigm. Thats not to say we shouldn’t have any laws, but legislating morality in general feels pointless.

I can understand people having strong stances on the abortion issue.
I cannot, however, wrap my head around being a one-issue voter.
Particularly when one of the candidates is egregiously unfit for office and a likely danger to the Republic.

Iowa is a stretch because it's made of people like @DooBi
Not sure when that switch happened, but were a long way from Iowa being purple, let along blue again. Look at the dummy they elected as governor. Pathetic.
Can it survive on it's own without the host at that stage or would it die independently anyways? Are you willing to pay larger health insurance premiums to ensure fetuses that can't survive on their own are connected to life support until they can?
You're not willing to COMPROMISE when "life begins at heartbeat" because that's simply not true.
