In other words Roe vs Wade created a law.
Basically, and that is what is being used to kill it.

If the Supreme Court can create a law on a whim, then they can overturn it on a whim.

If they are not kept an eye on they'd ban their women from voting and driving cars, but I'm sure they'll let them keep their guns.
I'm pro-choice but I hate the fact nobody wants to bring any nuance into this discussion. Providers think the other side is irresponsible and wants to murder babies, while pro-choice people believe that pro-lifers want to ban abortion for the sole purpose of controlling women and that's why we never make any progress in our arguments.

The democrats had decades to push for this law to get codified into federal law through the appropriate channels but didn't. Now a another Supreme Court ruling has come overturn Roe v. Wade. You know why? Because supreme court rulings aren't proper legislation.

I'm not in support of this decision, however it is technically correct. It is outside the Judiciary to give abortion guidelines, that is the role of Legislature. They failed to write out into law so the evangelicals in the Court were able to pull this stunt. However, it is still up to the states to decide.

It does not work that way. Especially when they can't get groceries for cheap.

Also, the democrats can't define what a woman is. Men can also have children so why not say they will push birthing people away?
Once they escaped their Tumblr confinement in 2014, white leftist women have been at the forefront of almost every insidious progressive ideology. All they have to do paint this as the end of abortion rights in the country and they would bring more people who are on the fence to their side.

Do you have any stats that show numbers who support abortion on demand against those who do not?
I know some crazies support post birth abortion , I have quoted someone saying that in some post ago.
The left has a huge megaphone One might be tempted to think their loud positions on some matters are of majority opinion.
Let's think about it this way, in the last election, did you know that Trump was up in every single demographic when compared to his previous performance? That's right, Trump gained a larger percentage of voters among black people, Hispanics, Asians,etc. When it comes to white people: his performance among white men was about the same. However white women did not show up for election day and that was enough t for him to lose the election.

The republicans are just going to chase more white women away from their cause with this vote.

Wow. The only gayish scene in a kids program I can remember is the hinted one at the end of Avatar the legend of Korra.

These have somehow all passed over my radar.

Ironically three of those 4 are not Netflix. So one is going to have to block a lot more TV.
That's mostly because I don't watch Netflix animations because they're usually quite bad.

I do know that the new Voltron series on Netflix had one, though. I think The Dragon Prince also had one as well.

BREAKING!

A leaked draft of the Supreme Court opinion on an abortion case shows that the Court will overturn Roe v. Wade!

The midterms and the battle for the control Congress just got heated up several notches
Who leaked the Supreme Court opinion draft? I hope it wasn't some bad actor attempting to intimidate the judges.

However, if this is true then republicans must be hell-bent on shooting themselves in the foot on the upcoming midterms and any other election in the foreseeable future.

So you think the only portrayal of lgbt people in TV is them kissing?

In PG TV? Are you sure you are watching kids cartoons or maybe hentai?

How many kids programs even feature hetero kissing?

Lgbt representation in kids show is like Mr Rogers featuring blacks back in the day. To show it is not a contagious condition and that they are regular humans like you and me.

The more you post the more you come across as an absentee dad on the entertainment front.

Talking about exchanging saliva.

You are reminding me of some of my embarrassing school mates who shared teen titans go hentai and said it was shown on cartoon network.
Why are you strawmanning, though?
On-screen kissing ≠ porn.

For a long time, many shows aimed at kids and or with a PG rating have featured their characters kissing. More recently, LGBT characters have also been featured kissing.

1. Star vs the Forces of Evil (Disney XD)
2. She-Ra (Netflix)
3. Adventure Time (Cartoon Network)
4. Steven Universe (Cartoon Network)

Suspect pips here have no familial responsibilities.
How do you sit down with your kids Infront of a Tv and watch same sexx people kissing?
If rather wear skin clothes, live in a cave, light up my house with reeds and twirl wood sticks to light up my cooking stove Than sit with my kids and see two men or two women exchange saliva.
Obviously, it's up to you to raise your kids how you see fit.

Personally, if my kids are old enough wrestlers pretend to beat each other to a pulp, watch characters engage in in gun violence, listen to music about sex, drugs, and violence then there's no point trying to shield from the reality of the world they live in. The best thing a parent can do at that point is to guide them down the right path.

Stop soiling the thread .

Kids today are very sharp. was using fingerprint to unlock phone. Kid would pick the phone when I'm snoozing, run my left fore finger thru the scanner and unlock the phone.
Once they changed my password and there was a fight but you can't fight yourkids.When they outsmart to you.

Sometimes you make sense. Go back to your original handle and join the sane people here because you make sense at times.
Just FYI, a lot of children's programming on Netflix has LGBT characters. Shows like Voltron, Dragon Prince, Kipo, The Hollow, and She-Ra have openly LGBT characters in them. Not such a big deal to me, except for the trans part which is a very difficult topic for kids to process. However, it is important for you to know as a parent.

Netflix tanked because of massive fall in subscribers post pandemic as people came out of lockdown and some moved to Disney+. Also lost 700,000 subscribers in Russia with the sanctions.

Netflix has had woke content for years and their subscriber base increased exponentially. Netflix actually has all content. They simply have seen Disney eat into market share and their pandemic bonanza is over.
Netflix lost subscribers because they couldn't keep re-runs of fan-favourite content on their platform, and couldn't produce high quality, long-running original content. Their series either start off as duds or immediately drop in quality after a season or two because they are more interested in pushing an agenda than entertaining you.

Netflix is only really good for foreign language shows.

Who said I was carrying water for corny capitalism, Republicans had no problems with same corny capitalism till Disney decided to have an opinion.

Call out cancel culture for what it is and stop tip toeing
This deal was struck before Florida even had a constitution. For whatever reason, Disney decided to piss off the other party and the deal ended. It's not like Disney hasn't threatened to stop doing business with Georgia in the past over some piece of legislation, now the same is being done to them.

Disney isn't getting canceled, their agreement is coming to end and Disney will receive a billion dollar payout. Their rights aren't being breached here, they will be fine.

Florida has to pay Disney about 1 Billon dollars in debt before dissolving their special status district, they apparently have no plans to pay yet Death Santis went ahead to revoke Disney special status all because of his worthless ego, let's not even forget locals are about to suffer for this stupid decision, this is the kind of madness they want to bring to the white house.
Never thought I'll see the day where leftists would be defending the government granting special status to a megacorporation but here we are.

The Right and Left do have different definitions of what free speech is so there's bound to be prolonged argument in America. Cancel culture is not one sided.

I await the day Musk slows how woke his Twitter would have to be.
I'm just going to put it out there, I don't trust Elon Musk. He's going to talk up a storm about upholding free speech but he's only going to do whatever he believes would maximize profit.

I find it amusing that most people think Musk buying Twitter makes freedom of speech mean they can say whatever they like.

Time, I guess will tell when countries say "no musking". But remember he kowtows to China.
Of course he will comply with the laws of different countries. Not every country has free speech embedded in the constitution like America. I'm just hoping for balanced application of the rules for all sides of the political spectrum.

These republiqan criminals always love to break the law in high fashion. Just like Criminal trump. They feel they are above the law.

If they are not doing crimes, they are pushing Blood sucking parkinson disease infested putin's talking points in the Senate of all places.

The republiqan scums of the day.
Rand Paul's stance on foreign affairs is almost always non-interventionist. He's the closest thing to libertarian in any mainstream party. His isn't parrotting Russian talking points, he's just maintaining the stance that he has always taken.

How Wikipedia describes libsoftiktok as of now. Totally biased
[b]
Though previously unknown, Chaya Raichik was revealed as the Twitter account's creator by software developer Travis Brown in April 2022. The account was originally Raichik's personal account, created in November 2020 with the handle @shaya69830552, and later @shaya_ray and @ChayaRaichik. On her personal account, she downplayed the severity of COVID-19, promoted the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump through election fraud, promoted a false story about a child sex trafficking ring, and had revealed she was present at the 2021 United States Capitol attack. She then changed her handle to @cuomomustgo, focusing on demanding the resignation of the then Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. By March 2021, she had changed the handle to @houseplantpotus, tweeting as a houseplant in the White House of U.S. President Joe Biden. After this parody account failed to gain much traction, the handle finally became @libsoftiktok in April 2021.

She's back with 200k more followers.

To be honest, a Ron De Sanctis matchup would be tough for Biden, especially if Biden’s approval ratings remain in the 30% and low 40%
DeSantis would is probably the best candidate that the RNC can field in 2024. High energy, actually does what he says he'll do, less likely to talk himself into trouble, and he's decades younger than Trump and Biden.

Hell definitely make a good matchup against Biden in 2024, if Biden makes it to 2024.
