"Stunning Poll Reveals Trump Would Win Election Held Today" (https://thenationalpulse.com/2021/08/18/stunning-poll-reveals-trump-would-win-election-held-today-as-nearly-1-in-10-democrats-regret-their-2020-vote/)

That's the headline of an article published Wednesday in the National Pulse, a pro-Trump news site. It refers to a Rasmussen Research poll that, among other things, asked people who they would vote for today between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Trump took 43% to Biden's 37%.

Or maybe he was just feeding you a line of BS Hopium like the WAPO/ABC poll you're so fond of, but again, you should want Roe overturned if the poll is right. Right?

But after that, the floodgates would really open, with lots of traditionally red states in all parts of the country potentially turning toward Clinton:

17650

All right, let’s stop there. I’m trying to encourage you to keep an open mind. The way the polls-only model thinks about things, Clinton is ahead by 7 or 8 percentage points now, and the error in the forecast is symmetrical, meaning that she’s as likely to win by 14 or 16 points as she is to lose the popular vote to Trump. There have even been a couple of national polls that showed Clinton with a lead in the mid-teens.

yeah btw you can blow your load everywhere and have a period, because those are NOT an individual, they are each the recipe that makes up half an individual.

So BC is not murder, anymore than celibacy is.

You have to conjoin the two, to create an irreplaceable individual with a genome sequence that does not change in anyway until it is destroyed, or is destroyed by natural causes up to 80, 90 or sometimes 100+ years later.

Uhh being a dude I am not well-versed on that. It looks like…

“Since the pill works by introducing different hormones into your system, it can affect your menstrual cycle. Some women may have lighter bleeding, and others may skip their periods entirely. An abnormal lapse in monthly menstruation is called amenorrhe”

I remember now! Birth control makes your body think it's already pregnant, so no eggs and no sperm allowed in the uterus.

Plan B is the thing the prevents zygote implantation and is actual murder.

Instead of when does life begin, how about what is an individual?

What is a person, a single person. What are you, if you were in a coma, if you lost your memory?

Are you the same person? Do you believe if someone lost their memory, that they'd be a different soul? Or is it the same person, just with new memories?

Is your newborn child replaceable? Could we swap him out with another? Why not?

Should an individual be protected? If you had money, and were in a car accident, and lose your memory, should you lose all that money because you are a new person? Or is that your stuff?

My current stance is to oppose abortion on the grounds it reduces future cheap labor.

My definition of abortion is the killing of a fetus when it kind of looks like a baby.

I'm flexible on both, not having any real skin in the game.


I am completely against the current jurisprudence, which allows...uhh...what's the current terminology the kids use... person with spread open legs to terminate a pregnancy to escape a lifetime of financial and legal obligations while denying that to the person with a hot load of cum. I don't feel a person with a hot load of cum should have to pay child support if they offered to pay for a timely abortion.

Anyway most people are collectively aborted. Unless you're like cool. Than you get a fresh infusion of babyjuices. Everyone knows this.

Ignoring any potential negative societal effects from declaring any sort of abortion murder, it presents a heck of a lot of practical issues that need to be dealt with:

Bringing a human into the world is a long, often unsuccessful and often dangerous process (especially for the human being brought into the world.) If we adopt the view that any abortion is murder, does that mean that anytime a woman is pregnant and then ceases to be, that we need the government to conduct an investigation? Miscarriages are common, probably 1/3 of pregnancies end in miscarriage. There are probably thousands of cases yearly where American women are pregnant, miscarry, and don't even know it.

If you're saying humanity begins at conception, then should all these humans be given the same rights and protections as any US citizen? If the answer is yes, then what solution can we give that doesn't involve policing every woman's body? Should all miscarriages be investigated? If a woman does not do exactly as prescribed in order to bring a healthy baby into the world (maybe she ate fast food a few times) is she now guilty of manslaughter? Criminal negligence?

What about ectopic pregnancies? A fertilized egg that has 0% chance of viability and is dangerous to the mother. If there's abortion in that case, is that murder? What about cases where known birth defects mean a child will be born with life expectancies of less than a year? Less than a month? Are abortions in that case murder?

Aside from the from the physical difficulties of childbirth, the responsibilities, the inconveniences of pregnancy, pregnancy almost always takes a much bigger emotional toll on the woman than the man. Miscarriages of wanted pregnancies can devastate mothers emotionally, even miscarriages of unwanted or unplanned pregnancies can take an enormous emotional toll on the mother. To then weigh on them the potential to have their privacy invaded and suspicion turned on them of somehow killing their baby to me seems cruel. And yet, if you subscribe to the black and white view that abortion is murder, and that a conceived child is a human, full stop, I don't see how you can reconcile that without being exceptionally cruel to mothers in their darkest hour.

I'd say it has to be willful. There has to be intent to end the pregnancy.

Haven't there been cases where someone was prosecuted not only for killing a woman but killing the woman's unborn child along with her? Should I google it and see if my memory is correct?

My point is, if we accept that the conceived child is a human, full stop, and that killing that human is murder, full stop, doesn't that mean they should be awarded the same kinds of protections as a US citizen would be granted? Accidentally killing someone with your car can result in a manslaughter charge, why not improperly caring for the unborn child in pregnancy?

How do you determine intent? Usually that's done with some kind of investigation, correct? In my opinion, there are issues with enforcement that either infringe upon a persons right to their own body, their own privacy, or do not allow equal protection under the law for the tiniest of humans.

What is miscarriage? What happens to the baby and is there malice and intent?

Also why is it a baby now? It was a fetus when it suited your arguments but you got sloppy.

Well, as to your second point, I did not once use the word "fetus," and if I wrote "bringing a healthy fetus into this world," that doesn't make sense. I tried to use language which adopted the position that a human's life begins at conception, which is what seems to be a basic tenet of pro life philosophy, no?

By the way, I don't think think anything I posted refutes the claim that a human's life begins at conception, nor am I even arguing that. My point is, if we do adopt the view that 1) a human's life beings at conception and 2) abortion is murder, then we now have lots of issues that come with this that need to be sorted out that I do not believe can be broken down into nice neatly black and white stances like "abortion is murder."

Can't reply to all of that but I would say, under that definition, going to the pharmacy and acquiring an abortifact would be premeditated and intentional.

The accidental miscarriage thing I can only think we'd have to turn the homicide stack upside down to charge for intentional murder but not unintentional manslaughter? Or is that in already?

Anybody using the "raising children is hard" argument is silly. For the vast majority of human existence, human beings lived much harder lives than we did. Yet they continued to reproduce, and here we are. Basically you are just a weakling if you use the "raising children is hard" argument. Women gave birth and raised children in circumstances that would seem like hell to us, but for them it was just another Tuesday.

It is easier than ever to have a baby and give it up for adoption. The case for abortion only gets worse as general quality of life improves, and as minimum viability keeps getting pushed forward due to medical advances.

It costs wealthy people up to 50-100k to artificially inseminate themselves or have someone carry a baby for them.

When going through an agency, whether domestic or international, adoption costs can easily exceed $30,000 upon completion.

If you get pregnant and cant afford daycare, just sell your baby on the black market. Youll be able to afford a new house.

There is no such thing as "forced birth" 99.999% of the time. The amount of people in America going around stealing women, raping them, and then imprisoning them for 9 months to give birth is probably less than 10.

Yeah let's go back to the way things were in the 1920's where women died getting backdoor abortions and resorted to using clothes hangers. This isn't going to stop abortion it's just going to make it harder to get and more dangerous to do in the states that decide to make them illegal.

Nobody should have the right to tell another person what to do with their body. You cannot be forced to donate blood or marrow or organs even though thousands die every year on waiting lists.

Someone can't harvest your organs after death without your explicit permission. Denying women the right to abortion means they have less autonomy than a corpse.

so parents telling their kids to go to time out is fasicsm now?

or is that ok, and telling your kid to go back to stardust is too?

its a fact, once you fertalize an egg, you created a unique individual that is completely their own and unreplicatable.

Once you destroy it, you destroyed that person, that genetic code that does not change from fertilization, till the day you rot into dust in a grave.

It does not change, it is YOU, it is a unique individual, created by 2 people.

Then thrown into a dumpster.

Pathetic.

It's called being married and having learned from a life of experience that being a 20 year old young dumb and full of cum is not enough of a reason for you to set fire to peoples lives.

Heres what we should do: If there is an abortion the male should have to pay 10,000 dollar fine.

It's not hypocritical, you simply do not have the basic understanding of what personal autonomy means. If you put someone in jail because they murdered someone, that is controlling their body. The vast majority of people in America agree that forcibly controlling another's body is permissible in the specific case of murder.

It is perfectly reasonable to argue about when we are allowed to forcibly control someone's body and when we cannot. We already do this with crimes like murder.

*Abortion is pretty much murder.
*The government should stay out of it
*It's between the doctor and pregnant female

*murder is bad im not interested in harming people or society to stop it, there's more helpful ways of stopping murder outside man's laws. G-d's are the only laws that matter. And G-d is the only one who can truly enforce his laws. Man has not ascended or been granted such authority. Man has a lot of work and sacrifice to do first.


I don't care when you murder your babies. Society does a pretty good job of murdering the unwanted and unneeded ones. So if you deal with it early and want that on you, all the power.

Society is still at fault for murder anyways until people learn to stop being shitty and care for eachother and the earth anyway though. Ya'll have bloody hands. So few don't. Satan owns this world. So making laws to control and dominate people will always fail.

You must sacrifice and give for others to end baby murdering and the motivation behind it.

The issue here is you think you can compare something like abortion to the military. Becoming pregnant is completely within the control of the mother, with the obvious exception of the rare and terrible case of rape.

The military deals with situations that often form outside of America's control. Many times military operations are in a grey area. When we were attacked on 9/11, we could have certainly not gone to war. On the one hand that could have reduced the total number of deaths caused by war in the past 20 years. On the other hand attacks could have continued on America if we showed that we had no interest in defending ourselves.

Which scenario would save more lives? Nobody knows. But we do know that not having an abortion will save the babies life most of the time.

But it is factually incorrect to compare the military to abortion. You are basically just saying anything with a similar outcome (death) is the same. That is nonsensical.

If some states are going to criminalize abortion than there absolutely should be some investment into adoption and fostering. Those states would need to find a way to encourage more people to adopt or foster, and by more people, I mean more of the right kind of people

And in order for it to be the right kind of people, those programs need to not lie to people (which they do) and downplay the negatives of the experience. They downplay the reality that many of these kids will have been substance exposed, abused and neglected. They will have sometimes major negative behaviors. The right kind of person is someone who knows this in advance and can handle it in a healthy way. The wrong kind of person will either bail immediately further messing the kid up, or worse abuse/neglect the kid more

The best way to motivate people is money. Offer to pay more or remove the costs to adopt. Something like that. I think it’s a foolish move to attempt to reduce or criminalize abortion without also improving infrastructure. And the same goes for pushing birth control better

The reality is the problems you are talking about have never been solved by any civilization in history. Ever. I am not saying that we shouldn't try to solve these issues, but you are basically trying to attribute problems as old as humanity to America, which is wrong.

We fix problems when we can, and abortion is an easier thing to fix than the dilemma of nations going to war, or solving poverty once and for all.Well pardon me if I believe in the American people more than you you do. I said these problems aren't uniquely American. But maybe I think America's unique position in recent history gives us the ability to essentially save the world and create the Harmonium, but instead, we are doing explicitly the reverse of that.

If some states are going to criminalize abortion than there absolutely should be some investment into adoption and fostering. Those states would need to find a way to encourage more people to adopt or foster, and by more people, I mean more of the right kind of people

And in order for it to be the right kind of people, those programs need to not lie to people (which they do) and downplay the negatives of the experience. They downplay the reality that many of these kids will have been substance exposed, abused and neglected. They will have sometimes major negative behaviors. The right kind of person is someone who knows this in advance and can handle it in a healthy way. The wrong kind of person will either bail immediately further messing the kid up, or worse abuse/neglect the kid more

The best way to motivate people is money. Offer to pay more or remove the costs to adopt. Something like that. I think it’s a foolish move to attempt to reduce or criminalize abortion without also improving infrastructure. And the same goes for pushing birth control better

I do agree. Put all the money we currently spend on abortion into those children, and future children who need help.

That would require their empathy to be authentic, instead of them all being a bunch of amber heards.

They all spend more time trying to accuse the GOP of being hypocrites than ever once trying to solve that issue during the 40 years of abortion we've had.

We make murder illegal because even though we know it won't stop it, we all agree it's bad. The point is to punish people who do it. This is a terrible analogy.

Making abortion illegal won't stop abortions. Everybody knows this. But it will vastly reduce the amount of people doing it now because of convenience. If abortion went as the leftists originally pitched ("safe, rare, and legal"), you wouldn't see doctors doing post-birth abortions. Obviously it has been pushed way too far.

Abortion is an easier problem to solve than healthcare or the prison system, because it is completely within the woman's control to begin with.

Socialized health care doesn't really work. The only reason why other countries can do it "successfully" is because they don't have to spend money on medical RnD or Millitary. Why? Because America is doing the RnD, and protecting them Militarily. If America got Nuked off of the face of the planet, socialized health care in most countries would collapse.

Healthcare is super simple. No more insurance companies. Or regulating medicine and drugs.. Ever. Gg.

No more drug patents either. We don't need new medications.

I completely agree insurance companies need to be reformed. But if just removing them was that simple, we would see other countries doing a better job of medial RnD. America is still the leader when it comes to medical advancement, as we give better incentives to companies to take risks and develop new medical advancements. When a government has a fixed pool of money for healthcare, you just don't have enough money to pay for RnD and pay for healthcare at the same time.

Again, other countries don't have them, so we should see them doing much better in all areas of the medical industry. But we do not. They subsidize the healthcare simply because it is cheaper to buy medical advancements from America, and they can dump a lot of their military money back into healthcare because they assume America will assist them in a time of war.

This is why I have always been a proponent of forced involuntary drug treatment decided via “drug courts” (new programs some states have adopted). Drug courts basically give people two options: forced treatment in a rehab setting or jail/prison

This is also why the legal system is the only way to prevent or delay someone’s drug suicide. But then you’re putting them in a jail/prison setting which are terrible, so it all circles back to forced rehab being the best thing

“Why not just turn the other cheek? Someone can eat themselves to death whenever they want” In my opinion drugs like meth, heroin, alcohol are worse than food addiction because the chemical dependence in the brain is stronger and the physical withdrawal is infinitely worse (at least for alcohol and heroin)

Can confirm, I live in one of the west coast cities that are just crippled by drugs and alcohol. I volunteered for the better part of two years helping at risk people learn computers and build their resumes.

At the time there was a tiered system where the benefits and help came with the persons progress through the system. First step was getting clean, and basic hygiene services are available with clean clothes ect. Next was help getting a job and housing. All coupled with drug treatment programs and learning.

Never really made any connections outside the computer lab, but I do know not many people made it past that point as they went back to drugs. All the tools were there and available for them to integrate back into society. I have talked with the homeless about where they can go to get help, and then see the same person holding a different sign on the same corner at the same time different day.

What more can you do?

Its a terrible plague and affliction on the cities and individuals by all metrics.

I think drug rehab is nice and all.

We should devote more resources to helping the homeless and sick who are clean tho. Ppl do more for drug addicts this day and age than anyone else.

And that addiction is a choice and personality decision. The rehab should be there for people willing to work for it and make the right course. It shouldn't be there for the people who are just going to kill themselves anyway. We should let it run its course in a safish nicesh quick way where the damage these people cause is mitigated.


Maybe one day we will have the resources to save or areas put every addict in a good place.

Right now tho 99% of yall can't even run CPS right or care for wounded vets who ain't on drugs.

And yes pot alcohol and cigarettes a drug. All as bad as crack. They all create serious suffering. And no im not saying to ban them. Some like alcohol are necessary in measured uses for survival and food preservation and safe drinking when the pumps turn off. Shit like that.

Once you let yourself get to a certain point tho. Weight wise. Health wise. It's time to get read your rights or shown the down escalator. Told you have one slim chance. We aren't dumping a million dollars into a fraudulent rehab govpork fund for you tho.

If people lack integrity. It's unlikely they'll ever acquire it. We should stop exploiting them socially and economically tho. And it's time for them to literally meet G-d.

Drug addicts literally get way better treatment than rape victims or schizos or domestic violence victims here. Where I live. Because "its such a big problem " and it's super trendy to help perpetual druggos on welfare 20 years. And I honestly believe ppl get some cheap labor from them because that's all their cut out for. So there's a ton of grift in both the drug and rehab trades.

Policing too.

I mean you don't give an alcoholic with liver cirrhosis a liver transplant. It should be illegal to do it for them for any amount of money too. Even if you can print livers at 1% of the GDP as needed or whatever. Or funding it with youtu.be likes.. Give them palliative care and a Bible. And if they OD on Fentanyl. Because they are obese and haven't gotten laid in 25 years of welfare. Well. That was their choice.

Giving ppl fentanyl that will OD on it does taint your soul too. The government shouldn't waste their time chasing devil doctors tho. They should spend their time making the game fair and going after corruption and manipulators. Keeping any group person or institution from amassing too much power and control or domination and influence. Gotta keep throwing those rings of power into the volcano of mordor.

But there’s a reason why we’re worse at it than Portugal. Good on you for volunteering. Helping my brother in law for literally 4.5 years drove me nuts so I can’t imagine helping randos off the street. I couldn’t do it.

why don't we care about drug addicts in America?

I'm really surprised that none of you have brought up the fact that the addicted, the homeless, and the generally lost people exist in the state that they are because no "industrial complex" has figured out a way to monetize their suffering.

HIV? totally treatable for big bucks
Clinical Depression? totally treatable for big bucks
Dick don't work? totally treatable for big bucks

all 3 of those things are entirely different fields of industry unto themselves, yet are all problems that human beings specifically face.

Why can we fix them? because someone can make money doing it.

There is no money in treating addiction or helping the homeless. or rather, no one has yet figured out how to turn a profit by fixing those problems.

If you wanna figure out the reason behind 99% of anything humanity faces, you will find the answer after you ask 1 question: Who is making money from it?

I don’t care if you get an abortion or not what bothers me is how stupid you people are how religious you’ve made this belief of yours that because something is tiny or because it needs its mother to take care of it it’s not alive.

The genetic code of a fertilized egg is identical to the genetic code of you when you die as an old person.
