Amazine, right? Seems like we did pretty good when all there we had in the 60s were condoms. now there are so many choices! Why also re 75 year old talk show hosts so concerned about abortions, they are not going to need one every again! Are our people so stupid now, they cannot use one of the methods available, and must kill a baby because they were too stupid to prevent it? Our nation is devolving into helpless adult babies, who just want to have sex and kill babies! Sad.

I wouldn't doubt it. Are those equivalent to sentience? That's the question. Animals have brain waves, but can they think on a plane considering their own morality? Not saying I know the answer...

100% of the pro abortion people were not aborted.
Just saying.

“The difficulty that the govt has in trying to stop the importation of illegal drugs” especially when they are the largest traffickers. GHW Scherff (Bush) was not called Poppy because he impregnated the disgusting Babs (Crowley) McCall Bush. Btw Clinton’s traffickedthe Coke.

+1 👍🏻Great comment.

Slave holding isn't the issue. It's rights under the constitution of a voluntary union.
The states had the right to leave that union until Lincoln became a tyrannical war criminal using force
to prevent the states freedom to leave (because they were being unfairly taxed to support inefficient
northern manufacturers who could not compete with European manufacturers.)
It would have been less expensive in lives and loot all the way around if Lincoln had bought all the slaves and freed them.
(Import of slaves was already illegal.) But the tyrant wanted more power and the constitution be damned.
Then the tyranny continued by not allowing ten million Americans in the south to have representatives of their choice in government.
So to end slavery, the union instead enslaved twice as many Americans as had been previously enslaved.
Today the federal government seeks to expand serfdom to 99% of the population.
Lincoln's tyranny started this process and has been used frequently as an excuse for further tyranny.

Ayn Rand said; "The phrase 'states' rights' is a contradiction in terms; there can be no such thing as the 'right' of some men to violate the rights of others." She also said, "There is no such thing as 'the right to enslave.'"

I have been thinking similarly to you about brainwaves.

But elsewhere she said, (memory quote on my part)
"One may quarrel about the later stages of a pregnancy, but the essential issue concerns only the first three months." I think that maybe they weren't doing late-term ones at the time she wrote about it.
I would like to believe that she was perfect, but unfortunately what one would like to believe about someone is not always so.

Don't they already have some kind of machine that can tell whether there are or are not brain waves present?

I hope your father won the other fights, too.

As I understood it, the bans on interracial marriages were first passed by Democrats.

By the way, I fully understand the exception(s) due to rape, but what is the reason behind the one about incest? Is it because Incest sometimes amounts to rape (parent and child, other relative taking advantage of a minor?)

Too bad. They shouldn't have been holding slaves in the first place. Man has the right of self-defense, and, as long as he is held to the principle that he has to delegate punishment for wrongs to his state/local government, he has the right to expect the state to do its job, and not to deny that he is a citizen; to deny it because of his race,etc.

Hey, I've got no use for Warren. My grandmother was a full-blood American Indian (Comanche). My daddy was a half-breed'. I saw him get out of his truck in the middle of Harrisburg Blvd in Houston and mop up the street with a stupido who called him a 'breed. He didn't mind the name calling but the fool threw a punch at my father. Not allowed! That wasn't the first or last time that happened.

My dear mother had an infant daycare. She adored her Downs Syndrome babies. She was particularly partial to them. She said they only offered love. I agreed with her. They were all very sweet babies.

My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father in law. My heart also goes out to your mother in law for the sad and difficult decision she had to make. I've been in similar and it is no win regardless of what you do.

I doubt the founders were considering abortion as a right 'retained by the people.'

Right. Instead all people are serfs of the government that has the power to destroy them without rational reason, e.g., Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the so-called Jan 6 2020 "Insurrection".
Now the serf has no opportunity to move to another state to escape his enslavement because the federal tyranny is ubiquitous.
And that amendment was "passed" while the states that would have voted against it were occupied by the union tyrants' officers.
(I am not arguing in favor of slavery of anyone.)

That's probably true about the Left, GaryL.

Since the 14th Amendment, the Constitution does not hand the citizen over to be the serf of his state government.

Oh, I didn't know that. I don't know how to do that.

If you mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) , I searched the internet for such and copied them to my browser's text 'notes'. Then I can copy and paste them from there any time.
For example: 🎅 🎶 🎄 🎯 👍 ⛄

How did you make that picture get onto the machine?--Not disapproving, just curious.

Another excellent point.
