By then, Trump was already in office. So, no, Dems couldn't ever codify it.They absolutely could have codified it when Obama had a majority, which he promised he would do but then just didnt.
If I remember correctly the House was a dem majority back then, by a narrow margin but a majority nonetheless.

Re: What ruined your day?
Except for some whacky-cherry picked people, I've never seen/heard of someone that's "happy" over abortions. What people want, and are happy for, is theoption. I've never met or seen anyone that was pro-choice that didn't view it as a last resort. Additionally, most, if not all, people who are pro-choice also advocate for safe-sex, IUDs, and a lot of other things. I've never seen or heard anyone say that "abortion is a good thing", just the option to have one is important and that's good. It's also in the title, "pro-choice": literally the woman's choice to decide to do what she wants with her body.JAGzilla wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 6:51 am If anyone is hung up on the term 'murder' and the legal ramifications thereof, I don't care.

I get the impression that some outspoken pro-choice types (honestly not referring to anyone in particular) get kind of caught up in promoting the good sides of abortion and treat it as some positive, wholesome thing, and just lose sight of what it is at its core. That doesn't sit well with me.

Now I can’t argue for the supremacy of Liberalism over all other forms of government and economics
That means I can’t write on how Fascism and Nazism are forms of Socialism, just not of the Marxist variety.

More like "evil". Corporations lobby to keep a better system in the dirt so they can make more money off the way things are. Evil. They profit off human suffering.

Call me “lazy” or “passive” or whatever you want, but I just cannot engage in any politics whatsoever and hate hearing about it. Having to pick between two garbage sides in an already strained and combative culture is not something I want to have to deal with.
Nuance is an impossibility for a lot on the American political spectrum and it’s incredibly aggravating.

Re: What ruined your day?
Exactly this. During my time in Jersey, I became acquainted with two patients who had abortions (one for rape, the other for ectopic pregnancy). They both said the same thing; it was one of the most emotionally draining and traumatic experiences they have ever undergone. This is even before you factor in the venomous social stigma associated with such a procedure. In my social circle, others who knew abortion patients recounted the same thing. No one is saying that abortion is this magical cure-all without any downsides. But the key thing is that it's a necessary medical procedure.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 3:54 pmExcept for some whacky-cherry picked people, I've never seen/heard of someone that's "happy" over abortions.

If anyone is going to have blood on their hands, it's the so called pro-lifers who are about to subject potentially hundreds of thousands of women to their deaths per year. We're already getting reports of women in obstetric emergencies who are getting barred from the care they need. It's about to get alot worse.

Re: What ruined your day?
The American Healthcare system allows people to die every damn day (many of them young children) because they can't afford basic healthcare. Those pro-life people don't have jack shit to say about that.

Re: What ruined your day?
I see I've picked up a few more replies, but honestly I'm not going to read or reply to them. Sorry about that, I don't mean anything by it, but I've said what I have to say and I'm just completely done talking about this subject.

Re: What ruined your day?
This didn't ruin my day per say, but it almost did.
Today is my brother's birthday. My parents decided to rent a boat and go fishing in a lake with my brother and I. Everything was smooth and my dad even caught a Bass. My brother didn't catch anything, but he wasn't upset over it. We all had a good time fishing together. After four hours on the lake, we decided to call it a day and head on out....and then our engine ran out of gas. Yep, the engine for the boat just straight up ran out of gas and we were stranded on the lake for, like, ten minutes and couldn't get any signal from our phones to call the people that rented us the boat. Thankfully, the boat stopped near the place where the people get their boats and someone who worked there saw that we were stranded and went out to help us out by refilling our engine. It's a good thing the engine didn't run out of gas when we were out much further in the lake. Otherwise, all four of us would've been on that lake for a longer time.

Re: What ruined your day?
After a tiring day at work, I tried to call home so someone can get me, but to my misfortune, my mom's phone had fallen the the ground, then a pillow fell on top of that. I tried to call my brother, but he slept right through it. And THEN I tried my dad, but his phone was off completely.
End result, I was stuck at work for at least an hour in the boiling heat.
Yay.............
