He seems to be a self-appointed 'authority'.

Some of them do oppose gay marriage and abortion but there are some that believe the federal level of government should not say anything about it and that it should be the domain of the states or the people instead. Roe V. Wade didn't restrict the states to banning abortions like the huge misconception is, when Roe was originally implemented, it made abortion a federal responsibility.

Each state will continue to have different laws regarding restrictions of abortion and I certainly see no problem with that (the act is little different from murder under a different name, the only difference is that it is murder of a potential baby during the early developmental stages).

Personally, I believe it should be restricted to only the first weeks or months of a pregnancy. Beyond that, terminating it should be banned.


Thanks for your response and for explaining.

My question is, if the states are allowed to make their own decisions on such fundamental / big topics as abortion rights or the definition / charge of murder, doesn't that mean all Americans wouldn't be treated equally or have equal rights according to the Constitution?

I don't see how it should matter where you live. Everyone should have equal protection by one overriding law or philosophy.

I hate to say, but even if all the states banned abortion it would be more "equal" than having some allow it, and some not.

I understand that state governments might represent the sentiment of a majority of people / voters who live there, but that doesn't mean the other citizens should have different fundamental rights. That includes freedom of religious / irreligious beliefs, and freedom of bodily autonomy / agency.

If you deny freedom or civil rights to one person, you deny them to all.


I agree, never understood how on Earth it was fair to give rights to some people in the country but not others. Abortion, prostitution, weed, etc should either be illegal or legal. Regardless of people's beliefs in terms of abortion, it really shouldn't only be allowed in certain places, it just seems incredibly unfair. I understand that the states govern "different populations" or whatever, and they may know what is "more well suited" but are people really that different?

What's there to fear? I've always been very open about my right wing political beliefs here to no ill effect. It may have ruffled the feathers of some others but never mine.


You might t not have been around but I have seen some right wingers here complain about how this is a echo chamber or a leftist site and I have heard they were chased off this site because they felt attacked because people disagreed with their ideologies. They also felt attacked when people here would criticize right wing views. But yet neither of them ever consider maybe we feel the same about them when they express their ideologies that would harm us and go against us because their opinion holds power?


But all real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. :twisted:

That’s actually a George Patton quote that I like to use when applicable. But to answer your question, I appointed myself. :P

I'd still like to hear from Right members:

- How do you feel about disability rights and benefits?
- Equal rights for men, women, and LGBTQ?
- Healthcare

etc.

I know that all Right members may not feel the same way as each other.

I just thought it would be better to hear it from Right members than to speculate and presume.

Perhaps you should post this question in a separate new thread, rather than buried in this one?

Suspect the board is sold out. Probably when Alex went on The Good Doctor. Cabal infiltrated. Time to move on.

I think one of the problems with modern society is everyone thinks they are right and want to defend their beliefs to the max, even though it comes off as kind of fascist for people to think they are right and have to oppress others for not being 'right'.

No one believes in the concept of 'let he/she who is without sin cast the first stone'. Now everyone with sin is casting stones, thinking they are perfect.

More like it turned out good for his attorneys.You can ask for millions in a settlement, and still get pennies.

So he likely got paid several thousand dollars as "nuisance" money which barely covers his parent's other expenses

And he thinks he can help get Kyle Rittenhouse a big payout for murdering people :roll:

I imagine the founding fathers who actually risked their lives fighting the British would be amused that a snivelling teen felt "but hurt" for putting himself in front of a camera smirking at somebody he and his friends were bullying got caught and tried to cancel the free press for reporting the news and then is put forward as a "real American" :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can't really tell from a photograph that was taken in the middle of a conversation, and a picture can tell lies easily though.

The video doesn't lie. he was emboldened by his classmates chanting and making racist signs at the Indian to stare down at the old man smirking. Everybody knew he was trying to stare down the elder in a condescending manner and the smirk was a sense of entitlement and amusement at the racist chants coming from his friends behind him.

IKR...the way republicans made his actions (and those of Kyle Riittenhouse) into some type of political opportunism is disgraceful

And that's totally fair, I haven't seen the video :). I was just going by the photo and my photography experience.

Because this is a heavily left-wing website which has always been the case in the 9 years I have been a member.
If people don't like it, they can leave, and that is why there are so few centrists and politically right-leaning individuals here. 8)

This will be my only comment in this thread. :mrgreen:
