    Dang :( That was derogatory, well to lesser degree belittling at best, again I'm a Trump supporter and I don't see myself or other in the light! In fact I hold no disparaging or ill will towards the way Democrats vote, that was just mean :(

    Yeah.... this forum does require a bit of a thicker skin. Anybody who goes out trying to find something they can interpret as an "insult" is sure to easily find it. I guess that's probably why they decided to make the forum only for adults.

    I don't view not knowing something as disparaging. I see it as an opportunity to learn.

    Of course, anybody who has an opportunity to become educated, and just passes on it, that would certainly appear to be self-disparaging.

    The problem is that you only see one side.

    Well to be fair to her - as others have pointed out - she may not have known what she was saying, if in fact she said it at all.

    The statement stands equally for anyone who may be fabricating those 'last words'...

    Thats what I presumed she meant as well. Its not like the radical left is going to be any more content with Trump filling her seat after he wins in Nov. Might as well do it now.

    She once said that she would never step down from her position so long as Trump was President. I have no doubt that she fully believed that Trump would not win this election. So no, she didn't expect it to be unfilled for 4 years. And if I recall correctly she just wanted it to be filled after THIS election.

    In either case we don't really know if that was her dying wish. We just have the word of her family that it was. For all we know she didn't have a dying wish and was just glad to be surrounded by those she loved. Not saying that she didn't make such a wish as it would fit with in her previous conduct as mentioned above.

    Either way its not up to her. Trump ran on appointing as many constitutionalist/conservative judges as he could. And he has not failed in that promise.

    Maybe, just maybe, because we already know what happened prior to Roe v Wade, there are still people who remember the trauma of losing a wife or daughter to a botched illegal abortion?

    As to the second half of your post, again, someone with the means to get an abortion will do so regardless of its legality or not. The poor wouldn't get that same option were it not for PP.

    Condoms, IUD, morning after or abstinence.. Or expand on how Australia has been doing a long time, maybe include color "Well" that was already experimented with there too! Simply pick and chose who you would like to increase or decrease your population with :shock:

    Well, I suppose even you might recognize that there's a significant difference between what was in 1960 or so, and what is today. The likelihood of loosing a wife or daughter to botched abortions doesn't look the same today than yesteryear, does it? More, the need for abortion is less, and with hormonal drugs, physical surgery has been reduced vastly. Yes, I suppose there are still folks who don't recognize these things. But that doesn't represent the reality that in this country, at this time, ALL of the preventatives are there to be used. After that, it becomes a choice of participation in prevention. And it shouldn't be necessary to address this unless there actually might be a medical reason to abort a pregnancy. I mean, we have measures should a pregnancy is endopic, or the offspring is unviable, lots of reasons one might actually need the medical procedure. But lazy or irresponsible shouldn't be one of them. Do you agree? And unfortunately, a large majority of current abortions are simply convenience related. I understand the financial cost of children, and it gives one pause, or it should. And the responsibility of providing for a child is a known thing. It should give one pause. Pregnancy shouldn't then be a consequence then of lazy or sloppy. It should simply be because folks actually wanted to engage in a responsible way. And if children aren't the goal, take an F'in precaution or two. Be responsible about recreational sex instead of just hoping government will step in to save you from your own irresponsibility.

    I don't doubt that folks with means will still use abortion irresponsibly. But using abortion to cull the minority populations of this country is a horror. And not admitting that this is the goal of democrats is simply not paying attention.

    Yeah... I've seen you do that. More often than not, as a matter of fact. But reality is and will always be my one and only side.

    I have repeatedly said I don't like Trump. I like what he has done, but not what he says. Have you ever said anything negative about Biden or Pelosi or Schumer or any other democrat?

    I think in the end the realization that Trump was exactly what this country needed was hard for her to accept. She had been brainwashed by the left and did their bidding for decades, she knew right down to her soul that Trump was a thousand times the president than that idiot Obama and she just could not, or would not, deal with it. Poor gal died knowing she was wrong about Trump, that had to be hard on her.

    Do you really think with your highly judgmental words you're gonna be able to sell this?

    Anyone with half a brain can just see the dripping condemnation in your argument. If we follow your moral tirade to its logical conclusion, the very same conditions that existed then will resurface again. No amount of hand-wringing and finger-wagging will change people from being people. Of course, as is usual these days, the flagrant hypocrisy of the anti-abortion movement doesn't give a crap about the consequences of a society with thousands of unwanted children.

    So does that mean you're not going to vote for him?

    Yes. The choice is not Trump, versus no Trump. The choice Trump versus Biden.

    So are you going to vote for Biden? Stupid question. Of course you are.

    As "nuts" as Senator John McCain in his last months.


    Chemo and / or Radiation treatments effect cognitive functions.


    Both McCain and RBG should have retired months
    before their passing.
    Both besmirched their outstanding records at their end.
