BOOM! Be careful of the ABORTION Trap, republicans: "Republicans still have an opportunity to build a broad and lasting coalition for 2024, built on a powerful, positive pro-freedom and pro-family
PRO-FAMILY message—Florida shows that. But they need to take the time to better understand the would-be members of their coalition, & to try to craft policies that are appealing to all parties. Burns
Freedom is the key issue and if I am to be free to buy a gun for my protection, then let me be free to chose what to do with my uterus etc. I am not a woman but writing in that vain for a moment taking tone from Emily (see stack). Trust that I will make the right choice. It is mine to make, not no government official. This is how I look at it and I am pro-life yet will defend choice. But I am sure on the side that no government official or congressperson or senator is to tell me, if I were a woman, what to do with my womb. This really is about ‘freedom’ and if republicans say they are a party of freedom, it must be for every issue. Freedom to own a gun legally under 2nd and freedom to operate my choice on this issue.
Burns: ‘The pro-life position has the moral high ground, I remain pro-choice. There are several reasons for this, but chief among them is that I don’t want government involved in legislating morality. The government destroys almost everything it touches. Why on god’s green earth would we trust it with morality? The second is that humans are fallible. Just ask Herschel Walker. We often fail to live up to our values.’
Emily Burns indeed does a masterful job weaving the language for this remains a difficult topic. Vastly complex and emotionality on both sides. Yes, we have to move people away from ‘single issue voting’, IMO, and get them to trust. When republicans say they won’t mess with the womb, women do not believe them after lockdowns and the devastation on freedoms during the last 3 years etc.
Republicans (yes, it was a republican POTUS and yes, Fauci and Birx and Francis Collins did this to him yet he allowed it and note I have nothing disparaging to say about Trump, nothing, I supported him and still do but 2 of the gravest mistakes ever made came in his presidency, this being lockdowns and this fraud vaccine) helped partake in devastating the nation and people, devastated women who were least able, could least afford shielding, and lost jobs, confined with non-sensical unscientific policies of lockdowns. They today DO NOT trust. Unmarried women do not trust. Women died due to the virus and due to the lockdowns, the latter doing way more damage.
Burns:
‘After this cycle, my vote will always be for the party that represents the most decentralized power structure, and the greatest respect for individual rights and responsibility. For me, the new f-word is “federal”.’ Burns.
What is the fact? he fact is that:
‘A majority of women and men do believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases.’
As even Burns would agree and say, that not one of the issues discussed are meant to be entirely prescriptive, cohesive, comprehensive, or even correct. They can even be wrong, but we are trying to grapple with a difficult issue and we must be willing, open, transparent, and honest. We must be flexible too.
Dr. Paul, I am keeping it "real" by saying this is a gross posting of yours. John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free. Most laws are MORAL laws. In America they are based on the Judeo-Christian ethic, aka the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not commit murder. You always say you are about real science. Well, real science says the baby in the womb is a SEPERATE AND UNIQUE person. They deserve constitutional protections just like any other person that is dependent upon another. Location of a person is no determiner of whether they have the blessing of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Even the non-religious understand the importance of natural law in justifying that murder is wrong. The problem is people want genital activity with no consequences. Abortion is not rational. A 6 month inconvenience [since most women don't find out they are pregnant until 3rd month] is not comparable to ripping a living human being apart when they are the most defenseless. Your post was sick. You like to post about "the wolf". Well, guess what, there is a wolf who wants to destroy innocent babies. We need more people " with balls" as you like to say, to stand up against the activities of baby murderers. Yes, I said baby murderers. The majority of people DIDN'T want to break away from England before the Revolutionary War started. The majority of people DIDN'T want to ban slavery and give slaves full constitutional rights before the Civil War. THANKFULLY there were enough people willing to stand for REAL liberty. We are not a moral society if we allow the most innocent to be sacrificed for "convenience". Dont hide from that with political calculations. Repent and work to save the innocent, no matter the cost. It will be better for your soul when you stand before your Creator one day.
There is a dark irony in the Dem preoccupation with abortion. It resides in the poisoning of Biden’s ENTIRE electorate with mRNA shots. This population for at least a few years ... IF they are smart enough to pass on boosters ... is ENTIRELY unfit for procreation. We see that vaccinated mothers experience spontaneous abortions, still births and damaged babies. Another drain on society.
Only the stupidity of those who willingly took the shots overcomes the common sense judgement that would make them pregnancy hesitant. It was risky enough even in the world prior to the COVID shots.
Consumers won’t put up with bad tires or toasters that blow up. The mechanics of punishing sellers of dangerous goods or poison foods is vigilant, powerful and swift. Except for the medical industry, pharmaceuticals especially and biologics in particular. This 007 status has been the gift of government interference. It doesn’t have anything to do with money, does it?
It is an imperative to get the diabolical laws 1986, Patriot and Prep expunged and universal philosophical exemption from all medical treatments codified.
Let’s get medieval on the pandemic evildoers.
