You are much more likely to get California to adopt laws if other states have a successful 20-30 year track record of properly managing Healthcare and adoption.

Yelling at each other for 30 years doesn't allow precedent and track record to influence voters.
Good policy and time breeds more good policy.

Well it wouldn't take 67% to pass a law.

You don't get to pass a law if you don't get to vote on it.
Filibuster is still alive.
You basically need 67%.

State legislature is appropriate for defining what is proper healthcare and what is argued as a bad public policy.


I really dont consider "elective surgery" as a serious health care matter.

I do understand policy for people who medically need it.

I mean Ron did have support of pro-life groups, but the Evangelicals LOVE them Trump. I doubt they supported Ron at all.

I don't think the Evangelical types switched over. It just wouldn't make sense.

This is something that I imagine you may not experience much given your location. I have had to talk about it with Bunk on occasion too.

Trump's comments aren't about the Constitution.

Amendment Ten to the Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791. It makes clear that any powers that are not specifically given to the federal government, nor withheld from the states, are reserved to those respective states, or to the people at large.

Good. Now convince your state legislators to vote your conscience.

It's a moral issue and, should only be used in extreme measures. I'd say, it's an opportunity to educate but that system has completely broken down.

Further decay.

I agree. Some of the religious right need to get off their high horse and allow Trump to take a moderate position in order to sway the "Karens". They need to take a step back and think. "Will I be able to save more children or less under a Trump or a Biden administration?" Leaving it up to the States is the way the Founders would have wanted it. If anything I have said hurts your feelings it's because you are virtuing signaling.

He worded that well. Abortion is only a topic still because the left needs it to be. The left largely consists of emotional voters and abortion tends to be an emotional topic. The accessibility of birth control and then also Plan B in a box at your nearest Walgreens couldn’t be any easier. Roe vs. Wade sent this back to the states. It’s no longer a federal issue, but the left’s gonna keep on trying. Fire up your base of ugly, angry women, you leftists!

You are going to trigger the frick out of some baws on here.

I've made similar arguments for years. They don't care. They will claim this is an issue above politics and any acquiescence is supporting the murder of babies.

slo is going to turn this thread into cat aids, but before he does, I think its important to point out that a leader can have his own personal views on a subject, while understanding that his own views may not be legislatively or even politically realistic. Trump is after all, less an ideologue and more of a deal maker.

ETA: I think hardcore pro-lifers need to remember how the table was set to get us to this point. No other president, regardless of how they flaunted their "Christianity", has gotten the cause this far.
