A Few ST Members Moving Soon

[Koolaid_Man]

Hey, there's new law saying gays can marry.

God's will.

God will strike em down soon...just like Sodom and Gomorrah...

I'm here to make you think...you're nothing but puppets on a lonely string...I'm King Kool and my thought processes and patterns are from deep in space and time....I could be a higher life form you will people will never know:

[ChumpDumper]

why haven't they at least tried to pay somebody off and overturn roe v wade? i think it's more of a talking point to them than anything they're actually going to do a damn thing about, and you know it.

How many Supreme Court justices have been bribed?

Give us a number.

which was my original point, republicans aren't any more "anti abortion" than anyone else, seeing as they only use it to gain some votes knowing they can't/won't ever change a damn thing about it. you guys were way off base.

You aren't familiar with anti-abortion legislation then. You are way off base.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Because if a Supreme Court Justice took a bribe and got caught for it they'd be in prison for a LONG time and would be lucky to get a job at McDonalds once their sentence was over. It's not like how an unethical congressman or senator gets a slap on the wrist, Supreme Court judges are relied on as the check and balance to the politicians who do take bribes. This country would go nuts if a supreme court judge was in a bribery scandal.

Did they strike down all the other countries where it's legal? Show us examples.

Actually, you're a bit of a dumbass.

And you're turning gay.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Kool was accused of an iden y crisis for being an anti-gay marriage "Democrat". You brought abortion up.

Also, your original point was that Republicans can do something about abortion but chose not to. Once that point got C-stomped, you move the goalposts to "Republicans know they can't do anything but still use it as a talking point!"

The fact is, there are enough people in this country who believe a woman who was raped has the right to abort that abortion will be damn near impossible to be made illegal.

lol kool aid talking about fake invisible man to cause wrath upon you guys
you idiots entertain him and he creates like this everyday

My favorite part:

As the non-profit Guttmacher Ins ute has do ented, Louisiana is hardly the only state passing new anti-abortion legislation this year. In fact, as shown by the chart above, 2011 has generated a stunning increase in new abortion restrictions at the state level. The laws enacted represent less than 10 percent of more than 900 measures introduced since the beginning of the year. You can see the latest (June 1) update by Guttmacher here and a table of changes for the whole year here.

A partial list of the new laws and those proposed: abortion bans to replace Roe v. Wade introduced in 20 states; requiring abortion providers to have hospital privileges introduced in 11 states (enacted in Indiana and Kansas); targeted regulation of abortion providers introduced in 20 states (enacted in Arkansas, Kansas, Utah and Virginia); ''Choose Life" license plates introduced in nine states (enacted in Texas and Utah); state funding of alternatives-to-abortion services introduced in four states (enacted in Kansas); abortion coverage bans in health plans offered through health exchanges introduced 24 states (enacted in Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia, vetoed in Montana); bans on private insurers' coverage abortions introduced in 15 states (enacted Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Utah, with a voter initiative on the ballot in Florida); bans or curtailments on public funding of abortions for low-income women introduced in 16 states (enacted in Maryland, vetoed in Minnesota, ballot initiatives approved in Florida and Tennessee); restrictions on late-term abortions introduced in five states (enacted in Kansas); bans on "post-viability" abortions introduced in five states (enacted in Kansas); bans on abortions after a certain gestational age introduced in 17 states (enacted in Idaho, Indiana, Kansas and Oklahoma, vetoed in Minnesota); state-directed counseling introduced in 11 states (enacted in Indiana, Kansas and North Dakota).

the country didn't go nuts whenever bush allowed 9/11 to happen and started attacking countries for oil, or when jeb bush THREW THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in 04. Or when Obama went to war with libya without congressional approval and used doublespeak on us saying "it's not war, it's kinetic military action." point is they can get away with anything the they want under the table if they can throw a presidential election. just face it, abortion isn't as big of an issue for them as they crack it up to be.

If a president ever got caught red handed in a bribery scandal with indisputable proof released to the public, this country would go nuts. If there ever is indisputable proof that George Bush allowed and contributed to 9/11, this country would take about 48 hours to dissolve into anarchy.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

if there's no indisputable proof for any of that then there certainly wouldn't be for a little bribery tbh.

It's a little easier to cover up wrong doing as a president than it is 1 of 9 supreme court justices. When Scooter Libby was being investigated for jeopardizing a secret mission and endangering an American spy, Bush got to appoint the attorney to investigate his own cabinet member. A supreme court justice wouldn't be able to pick who investigates him.

[ChumpDumper]

if there's no indisputable proof for any of that then there certainly wouldn't be for a little bribery tbh. you place way too much faith in this country and it's crooked system.

So you have no proof and are just making up.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

where there's a will there's a way..if republican's were as staunchly against abortion as they claim to be then they'd find a way to end it like the found a way to get bush reelected in 2004 tbh.

There's not a will, that's the thing. You seem to think most Americans view abortion the same way you do, they don't.

[ChumpDumper]

believing the "9/11 commission"

You can start another thread saying what you really think happened on 9/11.

[Koolaid_Man]

Did they strike down all the other countries where it's legal? Show us examples.

Actually, you're a bit of a dumbass.

And you're turning gay.

yes in Uganda...why don't you just go eat da Poo Poo...

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

like the found a way to get bush reelected in 2004 tbh.

Are you intentionally acting dumb? Presidential elections are on a federal level. Abortion laws are when power is given to the state. If Bush has 270 electoral votes, it doesn't matter if Kerry won Massachusetts, NY, Cali, etc. With abortion, it doesn't matter how much the bible belt is against it, they have no jurisdiction over what laws Massachusetts passes.

[ChumpDumper]

yes in Uganda...

It's not legal in Uganda. You're failing and turning gay.

[IronMexican]

Okay, then tell me what this means then:

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

Does this not mean that slave owners are allowed to beat their slaves near death because the latter are the property of the former?

[Reggie Williams]

Crofl who the cares if gay people get married. If your straight, I dont see how it bothers anyone. They aint getting into your business and minding their own .

"Oh no! Man and woman are the only ones allowed to get married since it happened in the beginning of time!"

Honestly unless they are having gay sex or making out in front of you, why the does anyone care. Unless your afraid you might turn gay and have gay sexual tendencies. If your confident in your sexuality, this shouldnt matter.

[Reggie Williams]

where there's a will there's a way..if republican's were as staunchly against abortion as they claim to be then they'd find a way to end it like the found a way to get bush reelected in 2004 tbh.

lol wtf

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

including republicans who take the moral high ground to gain votes

No, those Republicans are pro-life. They just don't have the power you seem to think they have. They're in the minority, they can push as much as they want, but it's not gonna do anything. Idk why you seem to think there's this sweeping pro-life movement across the country that could get abortion illegal if it wanted to.

[Reggie Williams]

lol calling me a sexual when not even knowing the electoral system/process/power

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

ok then smart guy, then tell me why the is it legal in TEXAS if republicans are so against it????

DD already posted a link with some states enacting anti abortion laws.

As I've said multiple times, Roe v. Wade and other supreme court rulings takes power out of the hands of the majority political party. Just like Brown vs. Board of Education, the Supreme Court is supposed to ignore the majority and interpret the cons ution the way they see fit.

[Reggie Williams]

the gringo comes out with the bads again

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

okay man but i still don't think republicans actually stand for the things they preach most of the time, the original point i was trying (poorly) to make

Maybe not the politicians, but certainly the people voting for the politicians who think they're taking a step towards reversing Roe v. Wade by voting red.

Answer this, if abortion and gay marriage were the two issues in this country you viewed as most important, would you vote Republican or Democrat?
