    Thats not my argument. As a male, I strongly oppose government interference in our lives even when I am not directly affected. Unfortunately, dems are not able to run on protecting individual rights. The feigned concern for a womans right to bodily autonomy disappears if she refuses to consume a pharma product or wants to protect her body from a rapist/killer with a firearm. What if she wants to utilize the fruits of her labor for her own needs and not have to pay for a strangers college loan?

    If a woman wants an abortion, she can take a short trip. She will not be able to escape the excessive taxation and the 87K mafia, I mean, IRA agents protecting the cash flow for greedy, irresponsible politicians.

    As an independent, abortion laws make voting for R's a very unattractive option. Compared to the D's, R's are the lesser of evils. (As awful as they are)

    I laughed when I saw this thread. It shows us how literally desperate democrats are to improve the world view of them, while at the same time actively destroying the nation we live in. Democrats simply believe that marketing will save them. Well, we shall see.

    I suppose we won't know until inflation numbers are reported again. Gas is still something like 2x what it was when Joe took office. 100% inflation there... Food, still going up. Services, still going up. Unemployment, going up. Democrats are going to have to use a lot of lipstick...

    Please address the facts I posted.

    Dems forced the same women that showed up to provide medical care in a time of uncertainty, to choose between consuming a pharma product or losing their job. Women also have medical emergencies and call 911. Without giving those women a choice, paramedics were fired for refusing to consume this garbage product, leaving her with fewer first responders.

    Dems successfully infringed on a womans right to bear arms for many years. This recently changed and the dems are working overtime coming up with ways to get around that annoying second amendment right. Of course Dems infringe on the rights of males as well. That doesn't make the statement false.

    Dems, like Reps, enjoy the power that comes with access to revenue from tax payers. Dems are just a little worse when it comes to denying a woman the fruits of her labor.

    I will join you in criticizing Reps for infringing on individual rights. As a Democrat, you are not pointing with clean hands. The pot and the kettle had a similar exchange.

    The problem with inflation is presidents take all the credit when the economy is good, so they’re going to get the blame when it turns sour. That’s just how it is, it always been this way and will always be. No president nor government can control the economy, if they could, we have all ups and no downs. People must blame someone and that is always the president, it comes with the job.


    Here’s the latest RCP average on presidential approval.

    Biden has climbed from 37% in July up to 42% today. That’s going in the right direction.

    Those women ought to find a state that aligns with their views on abortion then rather than supporting the continual molestation of the limitations of power as outlined in the constitution.

    We are now doing it exactly how Australia does it.

    Is abortion legal across Australia?

    The states and territories all have different rules about when and how women can access terminations. Western Australia is the only state or territory where abortion remains under the criminal code. With South Australia as the most recent to decriminalise abortions, with the changes starting on 7 July.

    Senators don't represent people. They represent the State's government.

    And this is what I have been trying to tell everyone - there are basically two types of legislation. Those that are “no exceptions” and those with a caveat for the health of the mother. Those with no exceptions see maternal mortality rates you do not want to know - from medical officers too scared to assist women in trouble. Those ithe the “health of the mother” caveats end up being wasted paper. See the issue is and always will be that the SAME surgical procedure used for abortion is used for a host of other gynaecological problems. So, a woman goes to Théâtre for a D&E - how do you tell, without a thorough examination of her health records, the actual reason for the procedure? Remembering that teens represent only 15% of abortions whilst the majority are women in their 20s to 40s and often with more than one child

    I don't really want them to work together. Less gets done when they don't. Doing less is exactly what we need from government.

    That wasn't at all my point.

    In your country, abortion rules are left to each state.

    Is that not exactly what was done here by the Supreme courts ruling?

    We need to be very careful.
    The maga extremists have been infiltrating election offices since trump lost and preparing to steal votes and subvert the elections going forward.
    It's the only way left for them to win.
    They already tried to steal the election in 2020, and next time, they may be better prepared if they are not stopped.
    Look at the multiple attempts to subvert the election by trump and his lawyers documented below.

    Fake News, both parties are currently pacing at 49 seats with two seats classed as toss ups.

    https://www.270towin.com/2022-senate-election/

    In NV the GOP leads by 3 in the latest poll and in GA Dems lead the latest poll by 3.
    Dems currently have 22 govs and are currently pacing to hold 22.

    https://www.270towin.com/2022-governor-election/

    3 are toss ups - Dems lead in two and the GOP leads in one.
    Right now the GOP is pacing to pick up 8 the Dems to lose 38 with 34 toss ups.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/house/elections-map.html

    29 of the toss ups are dems
    5 of the toss ups are GOP
    Normally the first mid term is a reversal of the previous election. This is not the case as the GOP had a good election in 2020 below the loss of 5 very close states at the presidential line, so the GOP has already picked up the marginal seats that would normally be picked up in a midterm.
    Many on the Left are far more obsessed with Trump than anyone else is.

    The three governor races that I think the Republicans will lose are AZ, MD, MA with a chance of losing GA. Although Kemp is doing just fine as of today. The two senate seats are PA , where Fetterman has an 8 point lead and WI where Barnes leads Johnson by 4 with NC, Budd is up by 2 possibly being the third. Kelly in AZ has an 8-point lead over Masters, Cortez Masto in NV by 4.


    As for the House, I have it broken down as having currently 59 competitive, switchable, at risk districts. Currently held by 43 Democrats and 16 Republicans. Safe seats as of 28 Aug 2022, 178 Democratic, 198 Republican. Probable net gain for the Republicans is 18-20 seats. Which would give the GOP control of the house with the majority over the Democrats somewhere between 232-203 to 234-201.


    Since all of this is dynamic, we’ll just have to wait and see.

    Dems are a little worse? No, repubs won the 'more evil' pissing contest by a long shot with their election of Donald Trump.

    I am talking about actual results. As unlikable as he may be, dems are still worse for society.

    I really wish you guys cared about women's right to defend themselves against rape as much as you care about their rights to kill babies. I do agree, this will kill GOP votes and I don't think there will be a red wave. You are probably right that it will be a "ripple". glad we finally agree on SOMETHING

    They "will" be, it's underway as we type and started since late 2020.
