re: Trump hasn’t earned my vote - mikeybates on 3/18/24 at 7:27 pm [quote]McCain hated Obamacare[/quote]
How many times did he say he would vote to repeal it? You'd think commitments to voters would mean a little more. ... Posted on Political Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Trump hasn’t earned my vote - mikeybates on 3/18/24 at 4:31 pm [quote]Trump could have gotten it done, but he didn't. It doesn't matter what kind of a person McCain was, all Trump had to do was treat him with respect. But he just couldn't.[/quote]
Didn't McCain say that he wouldn't vote for any healthcare bill that Democrats wouldn't also support? So it soun... Posted on Political Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: Dems spending money in Ohio senate primary to boost trump-backed candidate - mikeybates on 3/14/24 at 7:47 am The polling suggests that they would have a similar chance of beating Brown. That said, Trump's record of getting involved in these races isn't great. He is the reason Georgia amazingly has two D senators, among other things. ...

re: So how much more are we supposed to shut up and ignore? - mikeybates on 3/11/24 at 9:19 pm [quote]You don't think Trump insulting him for months had anything to do with that?[/quote]
I guess it's possible. As I recall, McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts in 2001 because he was angry about the 2000 primary. In 2017, McCain was saying that he wouldn't vote for any bill that Democrats didn't... Posted on Political Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |

No lasting achievements other than being the first incumbent kicked out since Bush the Elder.

re: Two highly unfavorable options. Independents will be key. - mikeybates on 3/11/24 at 8:51 pm [quote]It's sad Republicans even have to be worried about this election. The Dems are trying to gift the Republicans a sweep in this election and Republicans think it's cool to trot out a guy that alienates everyone.[/quote]

re: Two highly unfavorable options. Independents will be key. - mikeybates on 3/11/24 at 8:49 pm [quote]This is why I despise Trump.
If he would have done what he said, not run again if he lost, the GOP could very well sweep all three.
Instead, we'll be lucky to hold one branch after the election.[/quote]
I mean, the GOP swept all three in 2016. Could easily happen again. ... Posted on Political Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: So how much more are we supposed to shut up and ignore? - mikeybates on 3/11/24 at 7:10 pm I mean, you all voted for Romney, right? Who said in 1994 that he was more pro-choice than Ted Kennedy? Who passed the model for/precursor to Obamacare when he was the governor of Massachusetts? It is rarely a "perfect" candidate on offer....

re: Alabama to become first state in America to provide blanket immunity to Ivf clinics - mikeybates on 3/1/24 at 6:38 am [quote]Actually the stupid response is enshrining in our civil law abstract philosophical dividing lines like personhood being assigned to embryos. There has to be a legal status of less than personhood. There’s nothing wrong with someone believing life begins at conception, but it is crazy to assig...

re: Alabama to become first state in America to provide blanket immunity to Ivf clinics - mikeybates on 2/29/24 at 7:45 pm [quote]But it’s widely accepted by the same people that claim fertilized eggs are babies and that because so, abortion is murder.
So your point is moot.[/quote]
Right, because as I said, IVF can be performed with intentionally destroying any embryos. ... Posted on Political Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: Alabama to become first state in America to provide blanket immunity to Ivf clinics - mikeybates on 2/29/24 at 7:34 pm [quote]Except people do have a problem with it. Conservatives have been on this insane warpath about how “life begins at conception!!!” If you take that stupid stance, the ruling in Alabama is the logical progression.
How is abandoning fertilized eggs different than abortion?[/quote]

re: Alabama to become first state in America to provide blanket immunity to Ivf clinics - mikeybates on 2/29/24 at 7:32 pm So this means no action for negligence or breach of contract. So parents who pay for IVF cannot recover if the embyros they paid for are destroyed through negligence. Do people read these bills, or not?...

re: Can someone dislike Biden and Trump? - mikeybates on 2/19/24 at 4:30 pm "Not being Biden" is a pretty good justification, in my view.

Swing States - mikeybates on 2/15/24 at 6:56 am [quote]btw-Trump lost most every "normal" city I can think of in 2020. La Crosse, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Wausau, Superior Janesville, Beloit.... Racine and Kenosha counties he may have won. Doubt he won those cities however and can't be bothered to check as it's immaterial.

Infanticide was also common in Greece and Rome. Indeed, it was considered unusual that Christians did not commit infanticide.

re: Prior to Roe v Wade being overturned I had no idea that abortions were that common. - mikeybates on 11/18/23 at 1:49 pm Abortions are not as common as you think. First, the rule is more interesting than the exception. 75% of women will [i]not[/i] get abortions by age 45.
Second, this figure varies wildly by population group. Everyone is familiar with the racial gap in abortion rates. It is not true, then, that 25... Posted on Political Talk Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |

If the woman wants to be pregnant, she cannot get that way if the man chooses not to ejaculate. Pretending otherwise is just being combative for the sake of being pugnacious.

If the law says you can terminate to save the life of the mother, how close to death does she need to be? This is not just about ectopic pregnancies. I used that as one of many examples.
