  gotta love jwdotorg as usual regurgitating the financially/politically motivated (and thoroughly disproved) climate change propaganda:.

  Just because the Earth is warming up is no evidence that life is going to end.
  
  I've never seen a claim that "life is going to end". Life bounced back from the Chicxulub Asteroid. Eventually.
  
  Life will carry on just fine. May cause serious misery for human beings, though.

  One large volcano eruption produces more CO2 than the total of man's contribution.
  
  While it's erupting it may match or exceed human output during the hours or days of the eruption. That does not mean it matches or exceeds human output over the entire year or century. That part always gets left out or possibly misunderstood when the volcano argument gets trotted out.

  There's climate change all right, but it has nothing to do with CO2 levels

  
  And you direct us to a website promoting 9/11 Trutherism, JFK conspiracies, UFO's, Anti Vax kooks and on and on.... Yeah OK.
  
  I'm sure WTWizard will enjoy it, though.

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  My construction company supported an orphan kids ministry in Ukraine for years. It was very fulfilling writing those checks. Sometimes it was nice just to sit and imagine how some kid benefitted.
  
  In the end, probably benefited about as well as "Violeta" and "Juan" benefited from these commercials:

  Chopping up just-delivered babies is simply sick and evil and anyone pushing for it should be investigated. Anyone who's done it for a non-medical reason should face the death penalty.

  
  

  I dont disagree with this. But every government statistic i've found states that less than 1% of abortions take place after 21 weeks and usually for medical reasons. The idea that lots of women reach 9 months and suddenly change their mind stretches credulity to me. The idea that their are also plenty of immoral, monstrous physicians willing to do this upon request also stretches credulity. Has it ever been done unnecessarily? Probably. But I suspect "late term abortion" is mostly a bogeyman used to appeal to people's emotions.
  
  To be clear, i'm not it any way stating its not a big deal simply because it's rare. But it has been used to push this idea that there is an epidemic of "chopping up full term babies".

  This isn’t directed at anyone specifically. I put out there already I don’t have a problem with abortion before viability. I am interested to hear anyones views on why they do have a problem with that.
  
  I'd be interested as well. If someone has an objection to 1st trimester abortion, then it seems that throws the morning after pill out the window as well. I imagine the argument would have to be some sort of "soul" is created at conception or Seabreeze's "lots of potential cute little babies" that he/she isn't responsible for.

  https://www.ronbillings.com/jw-library-app-linux is one way.
  
  you can also install Bluestacks then get JW Library via Google Play. BlueStacks is the route I would go as it also gives you access to all the other Android Apps.
  
  BlueStacks for Linux

  You're really struggling to turn it into "republicans bad" aren't you? They were way too forgiving - they should have annihilated and destroyed the dems from existence. But the fault for everything the racist KKK dem party did was still all on there.
  
  Not struggling at all. Again, after 1964, which party courted the votes of the pro segregationist southern wing of the democratic party? The republicans have carried the south in every election since 1964 except one. (1976) .
  
  I'm not even trying to claim "all Republicans bad". It just irritates me when they trot out the whole "party of Lincoln" thing without recognizing that quite alot has shifted since 1865.
