Zahra29:
That I don't know...

Many legal abortion clinics are forced to close down either by the politicians or ant-abortion groups in a way to go round the abortion exemptions. This is why a lot of women travel to democrat run states for abortion.

Zahra29:
The abortion law allows provision for certain cases such as rape. Treadway has made a couple of posts on this.

In all republican run states?

Zahra29:
American women are not a monolith. There is a sizeable number that think that abortion is immoral, for example many would disagree with the freedom to terminate a healthy pregnancy at the stage when the baby would have been able to survive outside the womb. A woman has rights, but so also does an innocent baby who can feel, hear, move. It's not a black and white issue.

If a women is raped do you think she has the right to terminate that pregnancy after 6wks?

Zahra29:
Perhaps I misunderstood your post. I thought you were inferring that some states were pushing for an abortion ban even earlier than 6 weeks, Ie a "complete ban"

What i meant was that some republicans want even a complete ban, i'm not saying that such law has been implemented in any state.

missjekyll:
Abolishing roe v wade left it up to each individual state to make their own laws on abortion.

Progressive states like carlifornia, ny , Washington dc have kept the right to abortion.
Some rabid states like alabama, florida have essentially banned abortion.
American women are very angry about this and are gearing up to vote against the republicans. Democrats need to find a good candidate.

Yes that is correct and my question to pro life is..if after 6wks a doctor suggested termination to save the life of the mother then what happens?

Zahra29:
Not quite correct.

The 6 week ban is the strictest form of abortion ban (6 weeks, which is 2 weeks after a missed period, is the earliest a heartbeat can be detected and when a foetus is deemed to be viable ) and applies in a number of Republican states. Other non republican states have much more liberal abortion rules, which is why some women travel there to have their procedures done.

I'm not sure i get your disagreement with my post, is abortion not banned in some states after 6wks?

missjekyll:
Is that true of rabid states like florida though? Why am I hearing about women travelling to abort babies who do not have brains and would suffer and eventually die soon after birth?

This is not a gotcha question. I haven't been paying attention to the US for a while

You are hearing right, in many states in US abortion is banned in almost all circumstances, some abortion is ban after 6wks, republicans run states are pushing for a complete ban on abortion hence my unanswered question

rock86:
Is there anyone who traveled recently? As a first time traveler, how should I deal with the officials at the airport who love to harass or demand for bribe? What's the best way to relate with them please.

As long as you have all your papers and get the airport on time, nobody will stop you from boarding and nobody will force you to drop a penny.

Don't get intimated by anyone.

wallg123:
You’ve been giving some Joe Biden vibes recently oh. Hope everything is ok ? It’s too early for naps isn’t it ?

Well.. yea even sleepy Joe comprehends far better than you

wallg123:
Wasn’t expecting you to come up with any thing better because most times there is no logic to your argument or reasoning

That problem is unique to you

wallg123:
I also expect all virgins to be visited by the Holy Ghost.. 🤣🤣🤦🏿
How does what you saying even make sense ?
Your expectations are yours alone and not reality.
Just because other Christians don’t think or move like you doesn’t make them not good Christians. Besides who has the benchmark for being a bible believing Christian?…
On your “point” about drawing a line on racism. Are you suggesting people should vote based on racial stance ?. Please make it make sense.
Meanwhile let me continue smoking my Egbo while I ponder

That is not possible in your case

ReesheesuKnack:
Come on Justwise. You are more than this. I honestly think you are capable of a more nuanced assumption/thinking/point of view.

Your thought (on this matter) assumes that ALL Christians think the same (or should think the same).
Your submission seem to suggest that ALL Blaxk people think the same, or should think the same.

Your argument on this issue assumes that exactly the same thing matters to All Black people.

Even your own blood brother or sister, heck even your own identical twin does not like or dislike exactly 100% of the things you like or dislike.

I am a black woman, I will vote for Trump because I like position on abortion.

I am a Christian, I voted for Nigel Farage because I like his idea of increased threshold for taxation.

Those things matter to me, because I am me. Not because I am a Christian or a black woman.

Yes i expect all bible believing christian to think the same when it come to those two individuals, especially Trump, i did not expect any Christians to make excuses for him.

I do not expect all black people to think the same but i do expect them to draw a line when it comes to racism.

You claimed that you will vote for Trump because of his stand on abortion and my question to you is this... if you are pregnant and during one of your check-ups your doctor found out that your pregnancy is a high risk one and a result he suggested that you terminate the pregnancy so as to save your life, what will you do?

I will come back to you later

wallg123:
When you make statements like “( why Christian’s would want to vote trump and why blacks poeple would want to vote trump and reform)” … it makes one think you either faking cluelessness or you actually clueless

Let me assume for a second that you have a clue about what you’re saying.. so tell me why Christians and black people should vote for those two characters

Labour Landslide!!! with 170 majority

wallg123:
The same reason why white Americans voted for Obama twice..the same reason why you have a rishi sunak as prime minster of UK. Who would have thought this would ever be possible 50 years ago?. try leave out race and religion in your political forecasting and analysis

As usual you completely missed the point, there is a reason why i singled out Reform(Nigel Farage) and Trump(Republican) in my initial post.

If you can not connect the dots then don't bother and to your last point about race and religion... what planet are you living on?

Race and religion should not be included in political debate? Whatever you have been smoking i definitely need some of it.

RefKing:
@All,

Thank you, I do have birth certificate.

I don't know what else to add aside the birth certificate as their English is confusing my understanding. My child is coming by August, can mom reapply immediately?

Add the birth certificate, if it’s newly issued then explain why, add pictures with your mother or your mother with your kids or husband, if you communicate with your mother through WhatsApp or other messaging app then select non-sensitive chats and add. Call history with your mother will also help

Zahra29:
Voting intentions by ethnicity. Interesting that Reform is in the top 3 only for the black ethnic group.

I honestly don’t understand any black voter supporting Reform or Trump. Maybe someone will educate me about any underline reason that I’m struggling to get my head around

RefKing:
Hello,
My mother-in-law visa was refused, pls what changes can we effect and when can she reapply.

Thank you

Meet those refusal conditions stated in the letter and you are likely to get approved.

If there is no birth certificate then provide old baby pictures with your mum

Zahra29:
Hmm, 2020 Biden came across strong and passionate about restoring America. Trump lost a lot of popularity due to how he handled COVID and was blamed for the disproportionately high number of deaths in the US. He dismissed COVID as just a cold and then quickly hopped on Air Force One to the best hospital and medics when he caught it🙄

Sadly 2024 Biden currently doesn't inspire confidence that he won't hand over power (to phrase it sensitively) to Harris in the 1st year and most Americans don't want President Harris.

Sorry I meant to say 2020,

Polls got it completely wrong in 2016 as Hilary was leading in every possible poll but ended up losing .

Biden has never been Obama interns of charisma but still gets the job done

Zahra29:
Unless he's able to convince the public that he is not as frail as his debate performance suggested....it's not looking good. His biggest opponent at this point is not Trump, but the sofa. I.e. many of his supporters would rather not vote at all.

Best to prepare yourself.

I know but in 2020 he was not seen while Trump was holding rallies even with COVID killing thousands, Trump used all government resources but still lost.

lavida001:
Sunak, Macron and Biden are going to lose in the coming elections.

Don’t be too sure about Biden losing yet, a lot can happen between now and November 4th.

dustydee:
I am going for the tories or reform. Most likely the conservatives because the reform guy in my constituency does not appear serious. Labour will almost certainly increase my counci tax and likely will not do well in government. I also do not like how they treate JC and the Gaza issue.

Whoever wins is going to increase your council tax. Council tax goes up yearly

ReesheesuKnack:
Justwise, that is the point Zahra29 has been making for ages.
Govt created a policy, post COVID. There were problems with the implementation of the policy. Plus, the route was massively abused by our people. Govt decided to NOT ENTIRELY scrap the policy, but to tighten loose ends and block loopholes. That is the common sense thing to do.

What is baffling is how some people portray the plugging of these loopholes to mean the Govt is ‘forcing parents away from their children’ what absolute tosh!

Not really,the whole immigration figure outcry by the govt is just nonsense, the govt created this prob, benefited hugely financially from the mess they created then turn around to moan about high number of immigrants into the UK.

Govt sold the COS, approved the visa to as many people as they want and the same govt is complaining about the same people they ALLOWED in.

I don't buy the point that the govt did not see this coming,

Zahra29:
Just to add that Mrs A's 6 dependants also do not pay IHS.

Again my question to you is this… how did Mr A and all 6 dependants get a visa to come in? Who created this visa category?

Please don’t tell me that this government was unaware of the number of visas issued until it was published by certain agency.

ehizario2012:
Homophobia and racism are two different issues, they are not mutually exclusive. Needless to say, a racist might not be homophobic.

Yes Homophobia and racism are two different issues but in the same program we have seen these two issues in one political party, so what does that tell you?

Make I apply, I fit help? 🌚🌚

Sure you can apply, open to everyone

Debbieeeeeee:
Justwise please can you do this? The thread has been locked for further replies. Thank you.

Ok no worries

Seun:
I will make my decision on who will assist justwise from the people who have applied so far. Thanks so much.

I will respect whoever you picked but some of those who showed interest here don't have what it takes, some have conflict of interest, they are likely going to use the position to advance their own interest. Some are trolls that will likely use the position to ban IDs they had issues with previously.

Only about two genuine characters i have seen so far.

I suggest you have a look at their profiles, , when they registered in nairaland, their ban logs and reason(s) why they were banned.

missjekyll:
According to the Young Turks,he's been a disaster as Governor. What's up with the panera bread thing?

In terms of messaging he is the best option, he has the personality, stage presence, young and intelligent.

He doesn’t not need to be a good governor to beat Trump because Trump has no record to run on.

Trump will not debate him, he will factcheck Trump live and he speaks facts.


Biden may still win even with the disappointing debate issue.
