And yet, even then, we are fallible humans. I'm no fan of abortion as contraception, far from it, but I cannot completely dismiss a girl's (you say "woman" but many are really just girls, immature, vulnerable when they think they're in love and might lose their beau) right to end what turned out...
I would be very interested in finding any available statistics on election violence -- and in particular the political affiliation of the perpetrators and victims, on a state-by-state basis. I haven't found anything I think is really of great analytical value, but if any other member does, I'd...
I have seen deeper medical investigations that suggest the rate of successful fertilization of an ovum resulting in no child brought to term can be quite a bit higher than that.
And what about a woman who is suffering a miscarriage, about to bleed out? Or sepsis has set in? Or any number of other horrifying things -- that doctors in many states now will not even TRY to treat, but will let her get so close to death (to be within the letter of the law) that her survival...
I sincerely wish that every RF member would find a YouTube recording of former First Lady Michelle Obama's speech at a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Stirring and -- in my personal view -- immensely important and compelling. Her's is the very best exposition of the plight faced by women facing...
You make 2 claims and 1 inference here which I don't think are really justified. In fact, many people do think homosexual sex is sinful, scandalous or what-have-you. It's just that they know it happens and shrug it off.
Second claim, that feminists all react to heterosexual sex, which I'm...
The best thing about heaven is that it doesn't exist.
The worst thing about heaven is that enough people believe it exists and behave abysmally in a vain hope to be there.
Don'tcha just love the guy who tells you that a person who has said the Constitution should be scrapped and who has even taken direct action to traduce it, is the only hope to save it?
Musk has another agenda altogether -- probably one that even Trump is too stupid to perceive. But I promise...
Here are some things Trump has said:
Re: Hurricane Helena "Fema has done a poor job, spending money on taking in illegal immigrants, maybe so they could vote in the election."
"She's lazy as hell, and she's got that reputation."
"There's something wrong with her...she's slow, a low IQ or...
And diplomacy means what, exactly? National leaders sit down and barter away lands and property -- and the humans who live and depend on them?
As a Humanist, the right of every individual to make their own choices for their own lives (so long as they don't harm others) is my highest priority. I...
I continue my rant on Trump -- for the first time, he has described the U.S. as a "garbage can." The garbage can where the whole world dumps its trash -- who once upon a time were called "immigrants." You know, people like Trump's own grandfather, and Harris's mother, and the great-greats of all...
So what are you advocating? Ukraine should just hand itself over to Russia. Maybe say, "Hey, Vlad, any of our people you don't want, just toss them in the trash compactor, it's okay by us!"
What would you do if you were elected the leader of your nation, and another nation attacked you? Would...
What does that have to do with what I said? How does Russia deal with conscientious objectors, and how many Russians want the war to continue? And what would any of that have to do with Ukraine's determination to protect itself from being torn apart.
I've no doubt that during Hitler's bombing...
Here are some questions and answers put to Trump supporters in Arizona this week. Please look at them to get an idea of how Trump’s rhetoric is changing the whole political landscape in unprecedented ways. Here's how 4 different Trump supporters answered:
Q: “So recently trump has been saying...
People will die -- and volunteer to take that risk -- to defend their sovereignty and right to self-determination. Israel, at this point, is not defending its sovereignty or right to self-determination, although Palestinians certainly are. That puts Israel, now, clearly in the wrong. Ukrainians...
