Are you going to care for the unwanted babies that now get born? Are you going to pay for their upbringing?

I suspect not but you will happily force others to do just that.


>Are you going to care for the unwanted babies that now get born? Are you going to pay for their upbringing?

As an adopted child born prior to Roe v. Wade (and likely would not have been born post Roe v. Wade), I can assure you there are people who will gladly pay for the right to bring up and love a child.

Also as an adoptive parent, post Roe v. Wade, I can assure you there are people who will gladly pay for the right to bring up and love a child.

Also as a person who knows many people who cannot conceive children, including same sex couples, I can assure you that there are people who will gladly pay for the right to bring up and love a child.

I’m pro-choice, but no offense, you need to drop that argument. It makes an assumption that other people share your attitude about raising children who are not biologically your own. Many of us out there who realize that simply having shared biology may be the least important thing between a parent and a child.

No, it makes the argument that the people forcing women to give birth are not also willing to care for them.

And you didnt say that you personally would adopt all of these forced births so you made my point.

Interesting…So your point is now that a single person who is both pro-adoption and pro-choice should be willing to literally adopt the 600k children that may now become available every year due to possible abortion restrictions? So you are saying that your ridiculous standard was not actually hyperbole? You actually meant it? Wow.

Well I guess I am going to have to get a second job.


I am not an opponent of abortions in general. I find it very hard to find a line when it's acceptable. Killing a 9 month old fetus is clearly evil to me (it's no different than killing a newborn), and killing a day old fetus is clearly not evil to me. The line is somewhere in between.

Your question about raising them doesn't affect me much. We have families who want to adopt, we have state facilities. It's clearly a better way to spend tax dollars than some overpriced military crap.


It's never actually about the babies -- if it were, the same opponents to abortion would be advocating for pre-natal care, universal pre-school, etc.


>I think that there is a feeling that the other side is attempting to move policy forward

Which policy?


>should probably be migrated to fairer terms now.

Maybe so.

But this wasnt a re-negotiation. This was payback for Disney pausing donations to Republican politicians.


There are 1800+ special districts in Florida.

Special priviledges are hardly limited to Disney.


I paid for it.

I figured I would get CNN light for $3 a month vs Sling for $30 (which I only use for CNN now).

>The average age of CNN watchers is over 60 years old, not exactly a prime streaming demographic.

Isnt it? Every 60 year old I know has some kind of streaming device and social media accounts.


The bill was written to ban discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity for any age - not just K-3.

> Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

The rationale for the law is also seriously suspect - https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/06/politics/fact-check-desantis-...

Simply put, this law is a solution looking for a problem and being pushed by a politician seeking reelection and ultimately - the presidency.


>the security flow for banks was already horrible

I'm curious why you would say that.

What flaws have you seen in currently banking systems?


There’s an example in my comment, right beneath the paragraph you quoted.


They were sold as >90% effective when introduced.

But it was made abundantly clear that the original vaccines were less effective against newer strains.



>Why would you be anything but positive about this news? Whose payroll you on buddy?

OP points out that more research is needed, which it is. And you accuse them of being a schill? Wow.
