Why did AZ Supreme Court make statement after Trump comments if existing law on books took affect after Dobbs resended RvW? Been a minute since that ruling occurred.

Half of that reading list would have been The Onion only a few years ago.

such a good point

So, in Arizona it was a 1970’s law, or was on the books for 100+ years. By the logic from days after RvW was over turned, it should have been settled law due to the 100 years, or a 70s era law. Not unexpected spin by the media, and people will be led where they want to go. However, still disappointing that people with the capacity to think choose not to do so. Crazy times.

Re: Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib and Gretchen Whitmer remain silent over “Death to America” chants in Dearborn:

Tlaib is pro-Palestine and Whitmer is one of the newest Globalist Davos Darlings. We already knew where these two stand, and this is just further indication. What was it that the BLM crowd was saying…. “Silence is complicity”.. ?

Immigration mess. Inflation mess. Foreign conflict mess. Crime mess.

And yet 30% of life-at-conception extremists in the Republican party keep handing the elections to the people responsible for the former.

I was thinking of my life and how many times the females in my family hit a point of rage. Thankfully it had been infrequent, but in each case the outcomes were terrible for everyone around. It was for this reason that the general principles for how males should behave includes helping to calm and prevent that rage. I believe that there are numerous biblical references for the same.

My sense is that out of the 30% of Republicans that hold this female-rage-causing position that women must be forced by law to carry an unwanted fetus to full term even after rape, for many of them their opinion absolutely comes from a position of misogyny... and/or a desire to "own the libs". Well then it is resulting in exactly the opposite... the women rage and it empowers them, and the libs win all the elections because of it.

And so the conclusion is that these men are idiots.

Now the moral dilemma is real: the conflict of rights of a female over rights of a fetus. But in all cases where there is a moral dilemma, a balanced compromise is required. The 70% of Republicans that are clear-thinking on this need to take back the topic from the extremists unless we want to hand all elections to the destructive Democrats.

In this, as on any subject, calling people names does nothing to advance your argument. However, you do make one point clear. Many women are such wildly emotional voters that many men cringe and submit.

That is just a weak vulnerable narcissist response that liberal Democrats use. Labels are useful when they are accurate.

I respect everyone to have their own opinion. I support everyone living their own life the way they want to... as long as they do not cause harm to others.

life-at-conception, zero abortion rights Republicans are not good Republicans. They are authoritarians like are the liberal progressive idiots that believe they are The Elect and can force everyone else to comply with their views, beliefs and orders.

The idiot part is because they keep on giving to the Democrats. Arizona and Florida are both now in play for the Democrats because those Republican idiots in those states empowered the female rage vote again. Dodd caused it in 2020 and that is why we have a Democrat Senate. The damage being done by that is orders of magnitude greater than is the abortion rights issue.

Yes, I can see how you support everyone having their own opinion. Calling them names does indeed indicate you respect their opinion. It is a bloody shame that hysterical women hold the key to who wins an election. Trumps position is the correct one for the moment. I cannot imagine that Florida is in play because they have nothing wildly controversial on the subject. If the hysterical would slow down and read, they would be able to see that Arizona simply said the old law was in place until and unless a new law was passed. Which I imagine they will do. Arizona is in play because, all the way back to 2003, when I still lived there, Californians were coming in in droves and buying up property.

So, does Boeing do all the maintenance work on the planes they sell? I don't think so, but might be wrong.

Airlines do almost all maintenance. Delta TOC in Atlanta does Delta plus other airlines under contract.

Yesterday the Arizona Supreme Court reaffirmed an 1864 Arizona constitutional law that banned abortion except for the life of the mother. Later today I expect to hear from my 87-year-old mother-in-law that Kerry Lake has conspired to deny her the right to have an unrestricted abortion (neither of which is true). But this is what happens when SCOTUS invents a privacy right to grant unrestricted baby killing (Roe), then later corrects the error (Dobbs).

Dobbs did not ban abortions. It returned the decision to the states. And, because for the past 50+ years ROE ended all discussion, as written by RBG, Arizona now has one of the most restrictive abortion bans, and now has a herculean effort to amend their constitution to strike their abortion ban that has been there since 1864 (decades before Arizona even became a state).

While ROE lulled the proabortionists to sleep, it energized Catholics to stand silently outside of abortion clinics, every day, for decades, organized, determined, quietly saying millions of rosaries.

Back to my mother-in-law, who is a staunch conservative. Its her state and its up to her to participate in local government to shape the place where she chooses to live. This is the very essence of “states rights”. Strong states rights are why I choose to spend my time in Texas and Georgia.

This may very well be the decision that drives lazy Dems out to vote. And this could very well return Brandon for another 4 years. This is how its supposed to be.

What I never anticipated was that a man who claims to be a staunch Catholic, would use a mountain of dead babies as a campaign tool to further the wishes of his wife.

Now is not the time to declare victory. Now is the time to continue to pray. God writes straight with crooked lines. In all things, God is Great.

Just another opportunity with great optics, though slightly off center on the truth, for fundraising for those blood thirsty democrats. Death to America one fetus at a time! Or something like that. Curious that I'm not in marketing.

If it weren't for the constant unavoidable video coverage, Biden may be able to Woodrow Wilson his way through a second term. I listen to way more news than I watch, and when I go back and view Biden speaking or talking, it's shockingly worse than the audio.
