No, because nobody gets an abortion at 39 weeks for lols. Not even close to equivalent.

And the amount of times someone gets an abortion for rape/incest is similarly miniscule, we can do this all day.

If the specific legislation in Colorado prohibited abortion in a late term situation except for an exception re: health of the mother it wouldn't be an issue, but of course it doesn't.

Why do you need to legislate discretion though? Given an abortion is an action that can only be performed by a physician, and that physicians are already tightly regulated, why legislate it at all and risk creating a situation in which people agree that an abortion is appropriate but the legislation that a bunch of non-physicians drafted didn't anticipate it and thus bans it? As a conservative, are you not opposed to excessive legislation and government interference?

Missouri's ban on abortion in the case of ectopic pregnancies is just confounding.

Now we need a transgender Latino homosexual on the Supreme Court.

I hope the next president we have is someone with the integrity to make it a priority to select the next Supreme Court Justice based on a bunch of things that have nothing whatsoever to do with their ability to do the job

For the record, there are ZERO states in the union that have majority support for total abortion bans. Our sad attempt at pretending to be a functional democracy continues to become less believable.

We are not a direct democracy but a representative democracy, i.e. there''s always the vote the bums out redress option.  Additionally, this 'maybe baby' issue's not the only issue where gov't policy's NOT in tune with the populace.

So she's not qualified?

[CatoTheElder]

Red Dawn just seems so implausible right now.

[mj2sexay]

So she's not qualified?

Considering her rate of being overturned during her limited time on the circuit court...no. She's really not.

Some of the criticisms being levied from the right on her candidacy are freaking absolutely stupid (looking at you Ted Cruz), but her desire to legislate from the bench should've been disqualifying. Instead of course Mitt Murkowski and Collins went along with it.

Amazing how they weren't met with the media fury that say Joe Manchin and Mama Sinema were when breaking party rank. Interesting that.

I have zero idea what that network is nor have I ever been a direct TV customer.

But this has to be kind of concerning to see this behavior.

A glaring example is this excerpt

US Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.) had also questioned DirecTV owner AT&T and other TV providers about why they carry OAN, Newsmax, and Fox News.

They disagree with me so take them off the air, sounds like something that would be popular in China

Now quote the rest of the paragraph that preceded the line you're upset about.

You mean the paragraph that was talking about a network that is neither Fox nor Newsmax?
