Marijuana laws are relaxed like never before. What anti-women legislation you are talking about?

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Anti abortion laws are anti-women.

Or have you not heard of the GOP trend to fight against Roe v Wade every single chance they get?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Actually, anti-abortion laws are pro women, because abortion is very damaging to a woman physically and psychologically.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

That's incorrect.
I am personally friends with women who have had an abortion, they are fine, physically and psychologically.

Next you'll tell me that being gay is a choice.

You're our own little Jim Cramer. Anything you say, odds are, the opposite is the case.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

And I am personally a woman. First of all how many women you are friends with? Second, what makes you think that they were honest with you. Third, when we say something in general doesn't mean that it is true in every single case, but the most. And finally "experts" say that, you believe the experts, right?
In the battle of Martin Luther and Erasmus of Rotterdam, I tend to go with Erasmus.
As far as Cramer is concerned, you are not qualified to make the call, though are an expert on everything.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Have you had an abortion? Did it physically and psychologically scar you?

How many women I am friends with is irrelevant. I offered an anecdote, it's true. You didn't even offer an anecdote. You didn't offer a citation. You didn't back up your idiotic claim with anything.

I have no idea what the Martin Luther and Erasmus comment is about.

And you completely failed to give me any reason to respond to you. I probably won't do that anymore. Ta-Ta. Maybe you can learn from others here, but I feel like it's not worth my energy. It is my assessment that you are incapable of having a meaningful discussion about just about anything.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

My God, how I'm going to survive that?
You don't know what Martin Luther and Erasmus discussion is about? Maybe you aren't an expert after all.

I've helped women get abortions, and in my own small experience, they were all happy and relieved they did it, not sad. Around half were already mothers.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Abortion may be damaging, but pregnancy is far more damaging.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

Pregnancy is the best thing that could ever happen to a woman. Trust me.

Children = surest route to poverty.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

That's an interesting view. Why the heck I need money if not for my children?

[angelcerv25.livejournal.com]

And I have never read such an asinine, ignorant comment.

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

Geezer_Also once argued that marijuana needs to remain illegal because cops couldn't bust people on the serious charges, so when someone is charged with rape and possession of marijuana, the rape might be harder to prove, but we easily lockem up for pot!

No, seriously. That was a line of argument I got out of him once. I was, to say the least, flabbergasted.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

You don't know what you're talking about. What this has to do with ignorance? Most of the women live for their children and it is an attitude. Ask your mother.

Marijuana laws being fought could also be libertarian (it isn't) as much as left wing.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

"Could" and "also".

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

The point being that there are many issues that are framed as left right that are in actuality not really polarized in that way. So, when we judge ourselves for swinging to the left, we may merely be talking about gay marriage and abortion, not economic policy and military.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I know what you are saying. I think economic policy is very much left wing issue, don't you advocate obamacare? That is an economic issue, because the main thing here is who pays for it. It is only convoluted in the idea that everybody should have health insurance.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

I think economic policy is very much left wing issue

We want one, sure.

don't you advocate obamacare?

Me? I advocate single payer/medicare for all. I did support the Affordable Care Act, which was a Heritage foundation idea to prop up an ailing free market healthcare framework that failed to meet peoples needs. I personally benefited from ACA because I was someone who was denied insurance due to pre-existing condition. However, the best solution is medicare for all / single payer.


It is only convoluted in the idea that everybody should have health insurance

Not many politicians will argue publicly that babies shouldn't eat.

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I think, single payer is very bad idea, because of technical reasons. But what we got is a Frankenstein.
Don't you have a job? They can't deny insurance to anyone in the group, right? And if you don't have a job, then you could go on Medicaid. I know - you're a rich heir, that to lazy to work! But seriously, I know only one person that doesn't have an insurance, but she doesn't want to have one, unless it's free.
I think the safety net in country not too bad, could be better if the fraud that is going is eliminated.
If politicians had any courage they would say "babies should eat, but their parents should feed them".

[enders-shadow.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, did you mean ROMNEYCARE?

[madam-shapo.livejournal.com]

I thought you're not going to talk to me anymore.
Actually, I am sorry for saying silly things to you.

States across the country have enacted hundreds of anti-choice legislation since cons won the primaries in 2010. Their biggest obsessions are gays and abortion, and they make it very clear with their twisted sense of priorities. (Read: NO to every jobs bill).
