What do y'all think of Trump?

Here's the problem with all that high and mighty sanctity of life horsecrap - it's not real - it never has been - ever - in the entire history of humanity. We just aren't that nice of animals and we never will be either.
People have sex, people get pregnant, people have abortions and other options.
Never going to change, not religion, not anything is ever going to change that.
You can drive it underground by trying to make it illegal but you will just kill more people in doing so.
As I said before, the best approach is prevention, but the GOP has done their best to destroy that option.
So dont blame it on some poor woman who cant afford to raise a child, blame it on your representatives who stopped her from getting the birth control that would have prevented the need for a back alley abortion.
Because that's where they are going to go, it will not stop, ever.
You talk about progressives living in some Utopian world, yet you can get upset about this?
You get angry at humans being humans? Who the hell ever won THAT argument?

[davidees]

Oh yeah, because everyone knows guns are what causes people to go on killing sprees and not the “progressive” driven lack of morality or respect for human life

Oh so it's progressives now right? Yeah, this guy who walked into a church and killed 8 people because they were black really looks like a progressive to ME for sure.
Do you even remotely understand how incredibly messed up that thinking of yours is?
It's not progressives killing people buddy.

It IS however, them calling for responsible gun laws, like closing the gun show loophole and limiting the size of clips, AND doing something about the horrible mental health care system that exists today because Big Pharma has a pill for everything except shooting 48 people in a vegas parking lot.

You really are a high and mighty know it all fella, all those great morals the religious have been displaying of late.

It’s a FACT that if we deported ALL democrats, gun crime would drop by 90%. You know it and I know it...as for your boy Dylan, you do realize that flag he’s holding is a DEMOCRAT flag, right?

[davidees]

As for prevention, how in the world have republicans (I’m a constitutional conservative independent, not a Republican at all, fwiw), made it more difficult? Do you live in a cave or something? Free condoms are all over the place...try the health department, for example...of you don’t like that option, birth control costs like $8...c’mon dude, start thinking for yourself for a change and stop letting Rachel Maddow do it for you. That or at least destroy all your guns and get a sex change

[davidees]

Another thing...the whole “keep it legal so folks won’t do it as much” mindset is just- forgive my bluntness- just stupid.

[YoBenny]

I meant birth control is not cheap and we used to have ways to get them but the GOP destroyed that.
(taking too much money out of corporate pockets you know)
The flag that boy is waving is a symbol of white supremacy not being a democrat, your way of twisted things is like a 6th grader trying to steal gummy bears at lunch break.
I dont watch news programs but I would bet my last million that YOU DO
Gotta admit though, white boys shootin up schools and concerts being a product of "progressive" values was a new one for me. You have to be a complete idiot to say something that freakin stupid.

I actually agree with Benny on the marijuana legislation. I don’t think it should be should remain classified as a schedule 1, totally illegal for medical or other purposes. I think it should be reclassified or even completely legalized recreationally.

I have seen some statistics that show in states where it’s either totally legal or medically available a significant decrease in the number of opioids prescription written for pain.

The problem is big Pharma and it stranglehold over the drug industry controlling through lobbyist what our legislators will likely ever do.

Big Pharma can’t make money if people are allowed to take a plant and process it themselves and consume it themselves for pain.

This is a problem.

I just don’t feel like it’s my place to tell someone what they can do with their body anymore than I want someone telling me how many bullets I can put in a magazine at one time.

I don’t want to control someone else’s life.

[YoBenny]

Weed has been illegal and classified as it has for a lot more reasons than big pharma.
There has been and still is big money in weed for the prison and justice systems.
With average numbers in 2015, the prisoners with weed charges with no priors, no weapons, doing time in prison
for the average 88 months comes out to $2,634,000,000 that tax payers were charged to keep them there.
The atrocity of illegal weed is 10,000 times worse than anything that weed ever did to society.
And that's just the legal part.
The first time I ever bought a pound of weed for resale when I was a kid, I was shocked that the
guy who sold it to me took me to the mayors house and went inside his private garage to get it.
There is no telling how much money has been made selling illegal weed and how many victims of
a completely harmless drug have been created by it.

[YoBenny]

My take on abortion is legal and as guarded against as we can muster up.
Planned parenthood and other programs for counseling young adults especially children.
Sex education in schools with safe sex practices included and the poorer the schools kids are
the sooner it begins. (Poor people have way more sex than wealthy people)
If people want to picket abortion clinics and harass clients of a legal operation, fine
give those clinics free rent on 16th section government owned land with a big fence around it.
I am done with the religious claiming moral superiority to anyone, even my damn dog.
They have no right to tell anyone a thing about values and their behavior is in the gutter many times.

Feel the same way.

8$ a month is not cheap? FREE isn’t cheap enough? “Progressive” “values” teach that there is no such thing as moral absolutes...that truth is relative, right and wrong is relative, that there is no God, no purpose, no meaning, no hope...That our feelings are our most important attributes, that there are no winners or losers, that people are just animals themselves, except that our existence is actually a detriment to our environment, our planet, our universe...yeah, no wonder people are so depressed, so hopeless...to the point to where they pose with democrat flags and shoot up schools, churches, and concerts...also-
Your bullets don’t have DNA.
Your bullets don’t feel pain.
Your bullets don’t have a heartbeat.
There’s a reason why 80% of women considering abortion change their minds once they see their baby on ultrasound...because they realize without a doubt that what is growing inside them is a human being.

If free stops and abortion then free is good.

“Progressive” “values” teach that there is no such thing as moral absolutes...that truth is relative, right and wrong is relative

Actually that's not progressive anything, it's straight out of the playbook that christians have been conducting themselves for the last 2,000 years. Slaughtering 40 million people on this continent and taking their land among just a few things those savages have done to the world. I guess right and wrong for you people really is relative.

that there is no God, no purpose, no meaning, no hope

Pretty sure progressives are all about purpose, meaning and of course hope. However they are indeed sick and tired of horrible people hiding behind an imaginary buddy in the sky and slaughtering whoever and whatever they want as it is their imaginary friends will that they do so. Yep, they are pretty done with that horsecrap, a whopping 35% of Millennials have walked away from that evil crap and probably lots more to come. Science wins. The empirical method of extracting the truth wins. You guys could always just kill everybody that threatens to take your power away again as you have done countless times throughout history. Better hurry, you are almost outnumbered.

That our feelings are our most important attributes, that there are no winners or losers, that people are just animals themselves, except that our existence is actually a detriment to our environment, our planet, our universe...yeah, no wonder people are so depressed, so hopeless...

They are hopeless because you scumbags have screwed up the entire planet and as usual blame it on whoever is standing complaining about it the loudest.

There’s a reason why 80% of women considering abortion change their minds once they see their baby on ultrasound...because they realize without a doubt that what is growing inside them is a human being.

Guess you never heard of the demographic cycle eh? Science that flies in the face of your fantasies aint on your list right? DERP
At any rate you greedy craps have got the culture and economy so screwed up that both women and men have to toil for 50-60 hours a week just to keep a roof over their heads. That means less babies, more abortions, and in the case of white folks in America, that is some really bad news. IE yall are on the way out, you arent producing as many as are leaving, on the road to continental extinction, and you brought it on yourselves with your high and mighty values.

Don't quit yer day job there hombre...........

[davidees]

Lots of folks like you thought Christians were on their way out, Comrade...The Sanhedrin, Nero, Stalin, ISIS...and then he says, “You scumbags” as if his contribution to whatever “sky is falling” manmade doomsday catastrophe doesn’t count

[davidees]

And who are these “Christians” who go around slaughtering folks for religious reasons? There are millions of Christians in this country, are they roaming about slaughtering folks at will? No. But I’ll tell you who is, Democrats. The reason we have gun violence in this country in the first place is because democrats can’t stop shooting each other. Furthermore, atheist governments murdered over 120 million of their own people last century, but yeah, Christians are the problem...

[YoBenny]

Well, religion is on it's way out, finally, it took technology and global communication for even the most common person to use, knowledge at the finger tips of the common man, for it really started to move with some momentum in that direction. Sure atheist have done the same thing, evil comes in every denomination including no denomination. But don't think for a second that religion has done any better at it, it hasn't, and I know that because I have read so much of history that I could probably teach the crap in college.
I see you people, I know who you are, I know where you came from, and where the people before you came from.
My best friend in the world is also the most devout christian that I know and maybe the most devout outside of my mother that I have ever met. He is a good man and I love him for it. It's just sad that so few of those lousy pieces of crap out there who hide behind the cross and live a life full of sin are the burden of men like him.
There are a few around that are really good people. The rest, what a pathetic excuse for humanity.
My friend wanted to start a men's bible study, I helped him from day one. The news of the good word and good food in the same place spreads fast. Now it's gotten so big that I told him it's time to build a church. He said he would never do that, this is not about that. I said I know, I would have never helped you if it was.
