    The Right to Privacy -- Funny

    Are you suggesting that the court's ruling will disallow people from thinking about abortion or forming private opinions about abortion or organizing their thoughts prior to publically announcing them?

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg Disagreed With Roe vs Wade

    Can you explain how this applies to abortion? Operations are not justifiable because you conceal those affected or conceal the effects of the operations. Can you explain why a state must allow abortions?

    If you don't believe in out of body experiences.Can you say why?

    You didn't have to. You want me to examine an analoguous unspecified hypothetical claim based on your opinion of "extraordinary" to avoid my examination of the specific claim that your hypothetical claim would resemble. This is why you shouldn't reason by analogy. I don't know you and you...

    If you don't believe in out of body experiences.Can you say why?

    Rather than review your entire history on RF just so that I can get to know you well enough to examine the outcome of a hypothetical scenario involving an imaginary you... I'll content myself with the fact that you compared OBEs to flying with the power of your mind as an analogy to suggest that...

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg Disagreed With Roe vs Wade

    I think that the 9th and 14th amendements are a big reason that the Supreme Court will be overturning Roe vs Wade. The 9th amendment reserves the power to regulate medical procedures to the states and the 14th amendment does not allow States to deprive persons of life, liberty, or property...

    Should Individual US States Determine Who is a Human Being?

    There is no such thing as a right to abortion. No one is entitled to receive an abortion nor can the state compel a person to have an abortion. But, a person does, generally, have a right to refuse abortion (as a voluntary patient). In fact, a person, generally, has the right to refuse any...

    Broader Issues Highlighted by the Latest Abortion Decision

    Answer unavailable: "The People of the United States" The Constitution begins with: I would like to add, however, that just because the Constitution does not protect the rights of other people doesn't mean that other people do not have rights. For example the Declaration of Independence...

    If you don't believe in out of body experiences.Can you say why?

    The question isn't whether there is any evidence but rather what it is that you accept as evidence and/or whether you are capable of gathering evidence. If a person makes a claim and that person has a history of being truthful, then that supports his claim. If a person makes a claim and has a...

    Ruth Bader Ginsburg Disagreed With Roe vs Wade

    I think that time has shown that Roe vs Wade was a poor decision. The Supreme Court has already had to make multiple decisions to revise the Roe vs Wade ruling. Roe vs Wade did not age well and has done little except to foment political divisions and be an obstacle to any real discussion...

    If you don't believe in out of body experiences.Can you say why?

    It seems that the main objection is that people lack a means of corroborating the experiences. They don't actually have any evidence that denies the experiences.

    Should SCOTUS Leaker Face Criminal Charges

    People can face criminal charges when they commit a crime. Investigating with the intent to invent a crime is something we might refer to as a "witch hunt". However, disbarment for unethical behavior would be appropriate. Such a person is unfit to serve.

    Marine Le Pen's .....(kittens) are cute.

    I also felt that France's election system produced inferior candidates. I think that the two round voting system in France makes it worse.

    Is Russia Still Socialist?

    I would say that Russia does not value freedom. For example, Russia ranks 126 out of 165 countries using a human freedom index according to World Population Review. Capitalism invests more power in the individual to own or regulate the means of production, distribution, and exchange and...

    Supreme Court unanimous in backing Christian right too

    Yeah, this was an exceptionally clear violation of the First Amendment. Boston freely allowed any private group that held an event there to fly flags on the public flag pole during their events... except for this group's Christian flag.

    A conversation; Should Catholics be part of Elon Musk’s Twitter?

    What do you mean? Are you referring to this: Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump Or do you mean something else?

    A conversation; Should Catholics be part of Elon Musk’s Twitter?

    Twitter ought not to have removed Trump. I don't see any good reasons from the articles you linked that Catholics should or should not use twitter.

    The Russia question!

    Putin has chosen a path of self-destruction. Unless he changes course, what can the US or NATO or anyone else in the world do to help him? All that can be done to try and convince him not to take down all of Russia with him. Putin has repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons in order to...

    Man Self-Immolates In Front of SCOTUS to Bring Attention to Climate Change

    The criterion is removal from the gene pool (as a result of one's own actions). Death is not required. The conceit is that this removal benefits everyone else.

    If there was universe before big bang

    A claim is not a basis upon which to alter my beliefs. The means of arriving at a conclusion is more important. Who is making the claim and why? How was the conclusion arrived at?

    Science, the Universe, and Ex Nihilo

    Scientists believe many things. The most common belief is that before the so-called big bang, there was a tiny, dense ball of matter. More than that enters the realm of pseudo-science.
