He was probably one of the eediots arguing that guns are not the problem but mental illness, not knowing the mad man that will use the gun is his own flesh and blood
In most cases mass murderers are usually known by FBI, long before they go shooting up innocent people. These pips need mental help Not condemnation as we see the media do every time there is a mass shooting.
Lots of sickos out there with no criminal records hence can purchase guns, most of these sickos make weird posts on social media before they do mass murders.

Friends.
Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of exploiting children .
She was Epstein mistress too.
Who are the children she trafficked to? No need to know that for now. Who were these kids were trafficked to? Why have they not been arrested for pedophile charges?
Ghislaine is going for 20 years which sounds like a death sentence considering her age.
She trafficked kids to who?
Those are the real perverts who should be locked away forever.
Why no investigation into her clients. I won't mention names but people who abused under age kids need to be locked up No

She is a predatorial trafficker to some men. These are the abusers she was aiding

Abortion is the topic of the day. So they will shout with any opportunity they see.
True. They are outraged at how the 10 years ( I repeat 10 years) girl had to cross stateliness to get an abortion Instead of worrying about her abuser. The left is demented

I don't know if he has been arrested but she was 6 weeks 3 days into her pregnancy before the Law kicked in after Roe v Wade decision. Her doctor recommended her to another doctor. you would think she would have gone to one backyard and done the abortion in Ohio like amazontopaz has been saying but that's not the case. at this point, she is just spreading fear like the world is ending.
I asked that because people are outraged she could not get to abort instead of demanding the head of the pedophile.
At 10 years she would have problems carrying the pregnancy to term though

you and your love for lies.
she can have her abortion but they choose to go to another place for it. Ohio has 6 weeks, a month and 2 weeks to do the abortion. someone that was raped should be at the medical center asap, looking for signs of disease and pregnancy. there are pills to take to help prevent pregnancy after sex.

in Poland they have stricter abortion laws are they are doing fine.
Has the pedophile been arrested?

So you're telling me that an overweight septuagenerian who was recovering from covid didn't John Wick his way through an army of SS agents from the back of a moving limo to grab the steering wheel?

Typical right wing lies!!!
A lie. the 'beast' passengers are completely separated from the driver if Im right. And on that particular day Trump used the Presidential SUV not the limousine, From where the president seat there is a seven to eight foot distance to the driver

I didn't ask you to swap one hearsay for another.
1: she was not there.
2: they have interviewed her before
3: they have interviewed the people that was there.
4: her details were not right.
5: the note she claimed to have written was already talked about to have been written by another person.
6: CNN, NBC, ABC etc. Are all reporting the witness r willing to testify. The J6 committee sepoena someone. You will think they should be corroborating the lie they allowed by sepoena the people who are willing to testify under oath it never happen.

Courtesy of CNN:

“The Secret Service…will make the agents involved available to testify under oath, the official said, and that the agents are prepared to say under oath that the incident Hutchinson described did not occur.


Secret Service: Jan. 6 panel didn’t reach out before Hutchinson’s explosive Trump testimony
The agency says it got no outreach for 10 days before the committee aired testimony about Donald Trump’s behavior in the presidential vehicle Jan. 6.

If you like say one is hearsay and the other is hearsay, it is for the panel to call the people who was there so we hear directly from them. Put them under oath.
Benalvino3 this is a sham, She says she spoke to Trumps lawyer personally at the WH. He was not there that day

Abortion is an act of love. Ban on abortion makes it extremely dangerous to be pregnant in Texas.



Another woman believes that life begins after birth and condones an abortion just before birth. Im very sure she is a democrat.

If you have never read about FDR’s New deal promises I encourage you to do.

During the Great Depression he promised to put measures to stop a new recession, he promised to strike out 100 programs within his first 100 days in office which he did

Many of them were stricken down as unconstitutional by political hacks know as judges as we have them today

And example that wanted to be stricken down was the SSA

Now every American knows how important the SSA is 80 years after FDR brought it

Same as the FDIC

Because a set of political hacks claim an act is “unconstitutional” doesn’t mean it’s wrong; the constitution is 80 years old

Surely modern day policies might be unconstitutional.
Not all of us live in that banana republic America. What is your point?

First thing is to appreciate that the forces at play and that we see with our physical eyes are basically what has been determined and approved in the spirit realms. The forces at play are different. One is superior to the other - the spiritual forces are much more powerful (harmful or beneficial) than the physical ones.

But I believe you also must know that the Devil rules in the affairs of men......albeit for a while. He is at play, the hand that plays the strings in essentially all of the world's government. The other day, I read that the WEF - World Economic Forum is run by some people who are hell-bent on imposing a new order on world affairs. I don't want to sound like what you lot call conspiracy theorist , but my point is that there are forces at play that our conventional laws and understanding really cannot match at all. Just like it has now been unveiled that we indeed have UFOs in the world and no one seems to care about that revelations.

If the world's law and conventional reasonings fail, it is because the spiritual laws that govern all you mentioned up there - alcohol, prostitution, fornication, adultery, marijuana, etc have a higher grip on their victims and have more power over the natural laws put in place by the normal carnal man to regulate them. And since these things are harmful in nature and we know add zero to one's life, one can easily say/see that it's the forces of evil that are at play in the lives of those who are addicted to these things - their victims.

Now, we have a God who loves righteousness, who meant well for mankind - in the spiritual and physical realms. And He's all out to save victims - those who are at the mercy of wicked spiritual laws (forces) imposed on their lives by the Devil for which natural man-made laws have been unable to save and redeem. This is not some Christianity preachings and stuff. This is for real folks and this God wants victims of all you listed up there, wirinet, to reach out to his outstretched arm for help, and he will gladly save them.
when you mention God you infuriate some people here,
Ill add on to your post later.

Nothing is enshrined, is my simple point, since it is a meaningless word concerning a constitution which is constantly amended. Or don't you know that an amendment deenshrines?

An example is, some would claim the Supreme Court enshrined a woman's right to abort with Roe v Wade, but as you can clearly see, the Supreme Court just deenshrined it and can deenshrine whatever the constitution supposedly enshrined too.

Here is another example of deenshrining.
What would be the requirements for amendments? Two cigar smoking oligarchs in an office or a whole number of states? You betray yourself by the way by saying SCOTUS deenshrined Roe v Wade. What they did which you may not understand is to correct the creation of a law that did not exist. They found that Roe v Wade was not constitutional.

You do have a point I agree

It should be law

But my point right here is

They are numerous Supreme Court landmarks that aren’t laws

For example brown v board of education; there is no exact law upholding it

But it is a settled precedent

But it’s obvious if more right wing judges get there they can turn it an leave it to state right.

Which is absolutely bullshit
Oh my You must be a casanova judging from the way you are in favor of abortions. Easy for you. Just make out and if things go wrong Roe v Wade makes sure you never pay child support.
Just my opinion. In other words I think you are stating matters out of personal interests.

Lol; roe v wade was seen as a part of a section of the constitution

What was the major reason for the civil war ? State rights to own slaves

Only if you are saying the civil war was wrong and states should have been allowed to make its own laws ?

Loving v Virginia; is federal over reach in your opinion; let’s get it out there and leave it to state

All of those numerous land mark cases; leave it to state rights

It’s a bullshit argument and a no brainer

State rights is a lazy excuse to backward the country

We’ve seen it during the era of Jim Crow

In some states lynching just became a crime as recently as 10 years

How don’t you guys see the retrogressive movement of things like this. Bro omo;
Tell us more about civil war . Is it democrats or Republicans who wanted to keep their slaves. Jim Crow was a democrat too.

Again . The Supreme Court should not be making laws. It should interpret the constitution as written.

The entire J6 operation was a coup carried out to get rid of Donald J Trump. He was in the "way", and they needed to get him out.

He who hath an ear and eyes let him/her see and know how demonRats consipred with the powers in the Swamp DC to remove Trump from office.
Idiots are hoodwinked by the likes of Schiff and Pelosi that questioning an election is a crime. The left is making a lot of things criminal. Like covid vaccines suspicion, men can be women on the fly, Roe v Wade, Russia collusion etc. Literally the left is building a narrative and with the help of the media are helping to project their version as the gospel truth.Dare you criticize their version of the truth and you get cancelled.
Trump advisors are being subpoenad because they doubted the elections Yet democrats hounded Trump throughout his term, impeached him twice in the process.
Democrats are just pure evil people.

Bas, ben, raum, friends,
While we celebrate the decision of the US Supreme Court to ban the evil abortion-promoting and enhancing R v W, we should not lose sight of the evil done by some RINOs and DemonRats to Steal the Nov 2020 elections.

Please see the snapshot and read fully the report in the link above.

I have snipped important details of the report for easy read.
Ono

Trump had won handily in 2017 Joe Biden handily gave the victory to the winner Trump.

In 2020 several states had sent alternate electors but the session was called off Not because Ray Epps cohorts breached the barriers but because a pipe bomb had been found behind the Capitol. Talk about the pipe bombs, there is footage of the guy who planted them but has never been arrested.
In 2020 several states had sent alternate electors unlike in 2017. In such a case they was supposed to discuss any objection and Mike Pence should have given the states 10 days to make up their minds. The pipe bombs made them adjourn the session Pelosi was seen being whispered to about the fake pipe bombs and session was abruptly adjourned. Ray Epps cohorts then moved in and when the protesters cleared all those objections were not listened because of the 'insurrection'
Joe Biden was then certified.

Here is a video of democrats in 2017 certification. Democrats objecting but did not have any alternate electors so Joe Biden dismissed them.

A baby is a foreign body in a woman. The woman's body has special mechanism to protect the woman's immune system from attacking the fetus right from the zygote stage. Sometimes this mechanism does not work and the woman's immune system attacks the fetus causing perennial miscarriage.

I don't expect that kind of argument from an educated person like you. I expect that from illiterates who use the "you never know what that baby will turn out to be" or "babies are blessings from God" to create children they cannot take care of, thereby creating millions of almajiris and street children that go on to constitute menace to the society.
Describing a baby as a foreign body likens the baby to a virus for instance, A baby is an extension of her body carrying her genes .
When you a call a baby a foreign thing You are setting the stage that she can dispose the baby off like a virus any time she feels like.

wirinet:
I highlighted the key points in your argument.
You talk about stable family. How many families in Nigeria (and even the US) are stable? Lots of children grow up in disjointed families. Might be a a consequence of polygamy, separation, divorce or even work related stress and pressures. There are families in which the children are subjected to all kinds of emotional, physical or sexual abuse among other types of child abuse.

Good school? How many good schools have you identified particularly among boarding schools. Schools of nowadays suffer from the same incompetence, corruption/immorality and greed that afflict the general society. It will be a grave error for parents to abdicate the raising and monitoring of children to schoools. My wife and I monitor my children like hawks and believe in the Bible injunction of "spare the rod and spoil the child" when necessary.


True. But the myriad of ways does not always work or available when needed.
Family dynamics must be discussed and agreed upon before marriage. In my own case I only wanted 2 children, but after 2 boys my wife was begging for another child because she felt lonely being the only female in the house. I agreed and tried again. When she got pregnant, she practically spent the early period in her church in prayers. I made it clear that if its also a boy, that is, because I don't have the energy and resources to raise 4 children. So when it came out a girl, she was over the moon. Since then she had been on birth control. It failed once and she had to go to her chemist friend for an abortion pill. Which took care of it effortlessly. My daughter was 8 yesterday and it was a big celebration both at her school and at home.
What I am getting at is that the decision to have a child should rest solely on the couples or woman or bears responsibility for birthing, caring and raising the child.

If you hear the cost of CS nowadays fear go catch you to get pregnant. We never even talk of pampers yet.




But many red states says want to prohibit abortion under all and any circumstances.
Yes abortion pills should be made readily available just like contraceptive pills. Afterall they work in similar ways to achieve the same goal.

If a woman does not want a foreign body inside her, you cannot force her to. If you force her to birth a baby she doesn't want, then what happens to the baby once it leaves her body. Are you also going to prosecute her for abandoning the baby and refusing to breatfeed it?
A household with a father and mother I would term it stable if they are not at loggerheads.
Good school. The essence of education is to bring up kids holistically and monitor their development. There are very many good state and public schools.
Birth control. I wont describe how I am sure I will not get another but its a matter that we have discussed.
A baby is not a foreign body in a woman . It is a baby, you never know what that baby will turn out to be in life so dont kill it unless there is a maternal risk

What of ectopic pregnancy? How will you guys deal with ectopic pregnancy?
A stable family advices the kids on what to do and to be open . A good school monitors students for signs of being sexually active or having personal problems eg parents not being there . I always go to school meetings at least once a term where the teacher will outline his/her observations then I can go talk to the child if something is amiss. I am not the perfect parent but at least my kids wont do anything without letting us know, Its all about communication with the children .And the kids know that their parents love them, that's enough for the kids d for they know parents have their back.

Women have myriad of ways of avoiding pregnancy. I know of some couples where the woman gets depo provera while the husband wants kids .

Ectopic pregnancy. The life of the mother and kid are in danger so terminate. But the screaming liberals want to be sent abortion pills via mail any time they feel like they want to get rid of the baby inside them.
