Sometimes I get discouraged arguing that there is not a single right versus left dimension, although some people (maybe an increasingly number) are "pure left" or "pure right." On everything. Predictably. Why can't you agree with a person on one issue and disagree on another? I disagree with Cheney - strongly disagree - on abortion. But I think she is doing the right thing on the Jan 6 committee.

I think people are born gay but what's up with the Q in LGBTQ.

What if there was a genetic test for being gay or trans that could administered in the womb and Parents that didn't want a gay or trans child were aborting the ones that tested positive. I wonder if the libs would still passionately defend abortion.

Re: Roe vs. Wade Overturned by Supreme Court
So you are being "consistently conservative" on the two issues, and I am being "constantly liberal." And Cheney is being vilified by Republicans for one and by Democrats for the other, because she isn't towing either party line.D-train wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 8:15 pmI agree with her on Roe v Wade and disagree on Jan. 6th.

Honestly I'm surprised and disappointed how so many Republicans completely embrace the idea that Cheney is through and through a bad legislator because of one stance she has taken. As if she has gone to the dark side on a range of issues. I'm also surprised and disappointed that (it appears) so many democrats are shocked by Cheney celebrating the downfall of Roe. As far as I know she has been rock solid conservative on this and most issues.
Re: Roe vs. Wade Overturned by Supreme Court
You know, liberals like to include everyone, and some people like to be called "queer" hence the Q. But I also just looked it up and apparently the Q can also stand for "questioning." I guess I never knew.D-train wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 8:19 pmI think people are born gay but what's up with the Q in LGBTQ.

I don't know what it's like for younger people, put for everyone I know who is "our age" and came out as gay, it was a traumatic, difficult process. I isn't like the letter G is printed on your birth certificate. And given the social norms around being "straight", I imagine anyone who wonders if they are gay or lesbian goes through a shitload of "questioning."
Re: Roe vs. Wade Overturned by Supreme Court
I am not Republican, not religious, pro gay marriage, ok with early term abortion, don't own a gun, not a big fan of huge money going to military like you are. There has been a recent outrage from the right about taking kids to drag shows and pride events. I think parents have the right to raise kids however they like even if it seems crazy.gil wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 9:43 pmSo you are being "consistently conservative" on the two issues, and I am being "constantly liberal."

Fox News is supposedly bias but this woman is on a lot. How many on the right that would say something this crazy does CNN employ.

So CBS is calling Pro life people Abortion Rights opponents and Pro Abortion people Pro Choice. The level of blatant bias is astounding.

This is probably the most duplicitous and ironic statement I'll read today.
The legal right to kill the unborn is the mechanism that will save their own lives. How truly hypocritical. It's a dem thing.
BTW, I support a women's right to choose in almost every circumstance in the earlier stages of pregnancy, for health reasons, for almost everything. I just think the Supreme Court has no business being involved with it, and it is a matter for states and Congress to decide. Then later the Supreme Court can rule on individual cases as a matter of law, not a blanket one-size-fits-all.
Jeezus, you have nuts out there saying full-term babies can be aborted, that's just crazy.
