  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  by Simon in

  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.

  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.

  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.

  "Democrats haven't been this angry since the republicans freed their slaves!"

  While factually true, it's not a very strong put down. When Civil Rights legislation was passed in 1964, guess which party welcomed the aggrieved (former) Southern Democrats into their house? It's like chastising a person who harbored a criminal in their home for years and ignoring the fact that said criminal now resides in your house.

  sadly the wt failed to teach fundamental biblical doctrines.

  i did never really understand the doctrine about ransom while i was still in the congregation.. i did not either understand what it really means that "god is love" as stated in the bible.

  i did not either understand from the wt what is love.

  Apparently it was done in other sign languages aside from the well known one in ASL. Here is the video containing all the fun:

  "only Ford's decision to pardon Nixon prevented him from being impeached"
  
  Nothing to do with impeachment. Nixon had already resigned when he was pardoned. You can't fire someone after they quit. The pardon did prevent him from facing potential criminal prosecution.
