I stand by what I said 100%. Those who would shut down all abortions vote for politicians who vote against social programs. Not only do they vote against it, they run against it.
You're pro-choice.

Well, that makes you 100 percent stupid or dishonest on the issue. You’re making an unsupported statement even about the extreme element of the pro-lifers and there no way it’s true even about them. In fact many of them are also against executing murderers. Most pro-lifers aren’t extreme. I’ll cop to pro-life. I’m against it with exceptions after about 16 weeks but not earlier. That is a pro-choice position too, right? You made a blanket statement about all pro-lifers.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine makes a comment about abortion and a self-satisfied Jerry uses that to push her buttons at Poppy's restaurant and with the moving guy she starts seeing. At one point, people start storming out of the restaurant when they hear Poppy say that he opposes abortion.
Folks, people disagree about it. Good people, who hold good faith positions. We don't need to rip others to shreds just because they hold different opinions than we do. For some reason, whenever that topic is brought up, people start acting like Jihadis to each other.
You're not pro-life if you're giving accordances to 16 weeks, and exceptions afterward. You're inherently pro-choice. That you try to cop to pro-life makes you the dishonest one.
But what Aloha described supporting isn't pro-life.
Meanwhile, there are absolutely a large number of people who are dead set against any abortions, who also support conservative policies that reduce or look to eliminate social programs that help the needy. Those people aren't pro-life. They're pro-birth.
And we're all blessed to live in a country where people can hold and express whatever views they want to, can vote according to them, etc.
You're getting charged up over....terminology.
This is where your view is so slanted. Pro-lifers aren’t in lock step. Many are exactly as I described. You’re looking at the extreme end of the Pro-life range and claiming it’s all of them. This is exactly the same as saying that all those that are against all restrictions up to birth, and they’re out there to include elected representatives, represent all Pro-choicers.
We are, but that also allows me (and others) to be discerning when people don't practice what they preach.
Far from. Those are two vastly different concepts.
Jesus Christ! First I have self-righteous dolts with overinflated opinions about their intelligence telling me I’m not Republican because I’m not MAGA, now I have a self-righteous dolt with an overinflated opinion about his intelligence telling me I’m not Pro-life because I don’t conform to his cartoonish beliefs about Pro-lifers.
Just carry on.
That joint interview with Trump on Fox News was interesting only as Vance continually interrupted Trump, I think Vance has a bit more gray matter and will not be the smiling deferential VP the Don wants. We will see if Trump does make a swap prior to November.
I’m a non MAGA Republican and am against abortion And capital punishment.
Damn Bloom needed a good ass beating like you and Crazed are giving him.
Yeah. Threats to Democrat Democracy is a situational thing.
Joe wasn’t forced out, according to the mainstream anyway, he stepped down, pulled out, etc.
‘Forced out’ implies shenanigans
Oh bullshit. He was told to step down or else he would lose to Trump and he would have no one to blame but himself. Call it what you will, but it was obvious to anyone with any sense what happened.
Come on, Bloom---YOU are smarter than this. Ya really think Joe woke up a feew days after saying "He wasn't going anyhwhere", only to decide he was----has merit? Sure he wants to be President----unfortunately(for him), others, I.e. Obama, Pelosi, Harris, don't.
Pretty sure @mohoosier , was being sarcastic here.
Pretty sure.
He was forced out. Anyone with an active brain cell knows this.
Catholics are more consistent on protecting life than either political party.
I’m not Catholic but I somewhat agree at a corporate level. Though the majority of Catholics I know don’t agree with the Vatican’s stance on abortion
Wow. That guy jokes about things most wouldn’t dare touch. Ballsy.
I agree with you.
But . . .
Philosophically, it’s more complicated. Prostitution and gambling are typically seen as victimless crimes. For the pro life people, you’re traveling to another state to kill a human being from their state. There very much is a victim.
Wonder if Alabama, e.g., could grant residency to a three month old fetus?
