Sometimes you make sense, Most times you dont. Here is the kraken. 2000 individuals identified dropping ballots many times a night. conservative average was 5 ballots into numerous drop boxes. thanks covid.
They was collecting ballots from Stacy Abrams office in Georgia and depositing them into drop boxes. Not only in Stacy offices but in soros funded outfits across 5 swing states that corrupt Joe biden overturned.Joe biden never won. He stole. He is an election thief.
The 2000 mules identified in the videos could not deliver enough for Joe so they all stopped counting votes and dropped stashes of ballots in the pool.
Their names will be revealed soon.
Joe stole the election. He is an illegitimate president.

They will come for every rights, extremists have no bus stop, do you see how new Taliban law says women most cover all up? it's usually starts from small things like hijab before you know it they might make a law women should be enclosed in coffins.

Republicans are on that trajectory, extremism starts somewhere then expands, look at all the laws they have been making recently.

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.
Agreed totally. The leaked ruling says that the constitution is silent on abortion rights.
Im no lawyer by the way though I browse thru a lot of legal briefs.
IMHO the supreme court work is supposed to decide on the legality of the laws as per the constitution.
Roe vs Wade entered into uncharted territory where it created a law that abortion is a human right. I believe it is not.
An example. I impregnate a woman and I'm willing to foot all bills She decides to kill the baby without my input.
The current ruling wants states to create laws regulating abortion.

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.
In other words Roe vs Wade created a law.
This question is of utmost importance. Should the SCOTUS create laws or should it interpret the law?

This is what should be addressed.

Ukraine will not fight with sticks and stones. Russia also sends weapons to other nations. They also did so in the Korean and Vietnam War.

If Russia attacks Poland NATO member then they should be attacked. They cannot dictate who gets what weapons and who does. Nigeria does not produce its own weapons too.

Russia sees Nato as a threat, and NATO is also the aggressor in this one. But why don't they take NATO the threat out directly in the first place instead of to waste their time and lives in Ukraine only to strike NATO member over weapons being delivered to Ukraine only to start what they are trying to avoid?

Putin will be going for cancer surgery, he will hand over power soon. We will know what the nation of Russia is about when that happens

The left are desperate, they stand no chance and lack any real message for the coming elections, so they throw in this wildcard hoping to have some leeway.

It is nice that overwhelming majority of the country don't support the kind of abortion they want.

We will see
Let's go back to Reagan. He outspent USSR in space while they were mired down in Afghanistan where CIA was supplyiny defensive armaments to Bin Laden and the Talibans resulting into thousands of body bags flown back to Russia.
My take on this war. Biden wants to divert attention stemming from his poor handling of the economy to the Russia invasion of Ukraine.
In another situation Ukraine should be suing for peace talks because Russia is destroy Ukraine. Has no air force worth speaking about now for instance No navy. No navy ports although they sank a Russia destroyer Moskov.
Instead what do we see.The west knowing fully well that Ukrainian forces can be smashed by Russian forces are content to kill a hundred Ruskins while their cities are laid to waste. Zelensky wants $7b a month too to recoup what his country has lost.

The west should be pushing for talks instead they are arming Ukraine to kill Russian tanks and propagandize successful kills from their western supplied wepaonry.

Sanpipita looks at everything from a delusion point of view.
A look at a real dooms day scenario.
NATO stockpile weapons in say Poland, planned for delivery to Ukraine . Russia gets wind of the exact locations javelins,nlaws, Exocet, tanks, helicopters etc are being prepared for delivery to Zelensky. Is that not a legit target for Russia to attack? If they attack the depo NATO doctrine kicks in. An attack on a member of NATO is an attack on the whole of it.NATO should attack Russia for it's attack on a member country.What happens next? Nuclear war.

Meanwhile the leftists are screaming that overturning Roe vs Wade is a human catastrophe.

See the irony?The west led by Biden is formenting a war, arming Zelensky. The Russians don't play by the rules. They rain down mad artillery on a target then move it's ground troops. Ukraine with it's anti tanks javelins kill a number of Russian tanks. They gloat about it, while the surrounding areas have been levelled down by Russian artillery.
Ukraine lies in ruins, but they are happy the western supplies anti tank killed a number of Russian tanks. Cui Bono? Who benefits.

The west instead of pushing for a ceasefire is arming Zelensky to kill a few Russians while Ukraine gets destroyed.
Ukraine stabilizes grain supplies globally.

When Israel invades Hamas(Gaza) , the whole world screams for a ceasefire . Israel has rockets lobbed at their civilians by Hamas. How do you have a state armed forces sending rockets to kill your people?
Why the double standards here? there should be peace negotiations going on but the west don't want that.
Russia has a history of laying cities to ruins. They are flattering Ukraine right now as Ukraine gets levelled to the ground. Marioupul. A few guys holed up in tunnels built to withstand a nuclear attack in their last bastion . A few square miles is the only territory the Aztov battalion holds on Marioupul.Zelensky urging them to keep up the fight When those guys are rationing food

It maybe. They should wait for more shellacking. Even in Nigeria abortion is legal when the life of the woman is at stake but these people wey them suppose get sense are trying to make everything hard for women to do. I really do not know what their problem is. How can a party behave like that? Does that even make any iota of sense?
Any state that has outlawed abortion in case of incest, rape, health of mother/child OR teenage pregnancy outright? I believe that the hulabaloo is about the stage at which a birthing person can decide to terminate a pregnancy. First, second or third trimester. Or a post birth abortion?
Please provide data on that.

Men , I repeat don't want responsibilities of offsprings from casual flings. Men don't like using contraceptives, they want women to be careful they don't get pregnant. We also know women entrap men and sue for child support .
Many men will support abortion on demand so they can have their cake and eat it too.
At the same time deviants like paedos and pimps would like abortion on demand to be a human right at any stage of the pregnancy So that they can continue exploiting vulnerable women/children without the risk of child maintenance lawsuits.

Lol, you really know how to draw the lines. So if you are in Saudi Arabia, what will abortion be? Centrist idea?
Not only does abortion not feature anywhere in Saudi, a woman has no right to deny her husband conjugal rights. Family planning in Saudia? Does not exist. What the Man wants, when he wants , He gets it.
Women have no rights in Saudia. The man can repeat "I divorce thee" three times and the divorce is sealed.The woman might never get married again after that phrase is repeated three times, after all she is just a repository for the man's emissions.

And we have hundreds of thousands of NGOs working to save women rights worldwide but will never speak about the plight ofSaudia women.

Plus a whole lot of other countries that I won't mention .

Has any state proposed banning abortion?
The ruling sends abortion laws back to the states
States will decide the appropriate laws eg limit of abortion .
You basically want to abort any time even upto the last minute.

Here is why the midterms is very important for the Democrats as far as abortion right go. We now know the direction the SC is going when it comes to Roe v Wade, both parties understand the enormity of winning the majority of both chambers because whoever has majority can either make laws to make abortion rights legal or illegal at the federal level. Remember the SC do not make the laws, they only interpret the laws made by the house.
Generally whenever leftist/democrats kick up a storm The truth of the matter is opposite to what they are proposing.
From experience. They accuse others of the same things they do.

Women are going to jail for having abortions in America very soon.

Did these justices think this through Roe will have impacts on other landmark decisions the court affirmed in the 20th century.

I am waiting for the first who will go to jail for this because women will have back alley abortions and die.
Hypothetically.You a lawyer.

A bill brought to the house decreeing that anybody indicted of the murder of a pregnant woman should not be charged with the murder of her unborn child.

Would you support this legislation?

Why have Texas not change? Don't put too much hope into this changing anything because nothing will change. I mean, it will even be better for them.

Those who are in blue state will look to their blue politicians to make abortion sweet for them... Those in red states will go to blue states to do their abortion.
Pro abortionists are making this decision as a life and death matter.Comparing it almost to an earthquake that will hit republicans.
Personally I believe there are many people who don't believe abortions should be on demand.
There are a lot of faith based populace who don't agree with abortion in the first case, probably more than half the population.
A small group can hijack an agenda if they are loud enough and have no scruples.
The Nazis were a minority but they forced their way into power.

Its a simple common sense the fake law student here and her boyfriend cannot understand. Why do they want an unconditional law to stand?

Its even better for the abortion movement because they can run things the way they like. And if Texas women don't like the ban of abortion which is not still the case, abortion is legal in Texas, just in the 1st 4 abi 6 weeks of conception. They can vote to change things on state level.
And it's also simple common sense that a "birthing person" has a vast arsenal to prevent conception.
Men obviously hate using the methods available to them. They also do not want to take responsibility for pregnancies Hence many men will be happy to support abortion.

Paedos who abuse children would also support abortion on demand. Ditto pimps and human traffickers.

It does not work that way. Especially when they can 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?
The ruling does not ban abortions. The left is obfuscating the truth.States wi pass laws, it's not the supreme court to make laws on a matter the constitution is silent on.

As you say voters might consider how Joe Biden has handled the economy, I totally agree with you. Bread and butter issues are key decision points for voters Not some abortion rights.

The left will amplify this drowning out anyone in support of the ruling. Makes sense why they are mad at Elon Musk for grabbing one of their megaphones.

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.
Do you have any stats that show numbers who support abortion on demand against those who do not?

Your statement is hollow. Again from what I see in that leaked judgement , the justices say that the matter of abortion should be relegated to elected state representatives not federal judges.

A person can be charged with foetal murder . Yet you go round saying the foetus is not a life and the woman can on demand terminate the pregnancy.
Don't you get tired of double speak?

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.
My kids are past puberty The era of couples kissing on TV when you switch channels is long gone.Nobody talks then in those moments when it happens.
Unpalatable is watching same sex couples kiss.
I used exchange saliva to denote tongue to tongue kiss in a derogatory manner.

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.
