we really need an emote of someone slamming their head into a table
[QUOTE=EXPLOOOSIONS!;51628506]i think it's great that anti-abortioners call birth "the miracle of life" but also "punishment for careless sex"
so, is it a good or bad thing???[/QUOTE]
As long as the 0.1% can financially leech on it. If it cuts off the leech, they want it gone.
So why is it that congressmen can stay in power for 30+ years but every 4-8 years we allow massive sweeping policy changes that cause regression just because a new guy got put into the oval office
Why is the political system so hell bent on not allowing this country to progress
[QUOTE=1legmidget;51628534]
On another note, why the hell are they prioritizing this over economic issues? Where the hell is their healthcare plan? They have damn near free reign and this is what they choose to prioritize?[/QUOTE]
If I had to wager a guess - it's to help to bring their splintered party together with a rallying anti-abortion message. They don't have substantive policy to work from to build the respect of their constituents, so they use their "save the babies" propaganda to keep the people stupid enough to buy into it on their side.
Would Planned Parenthood be able to exist without Federal funding? Serious question, I'm not familiar enough with the economics of it all.

:hammered: I think this fits this news perfectly.

If I remember right roughly half of their funding comes from the fed.

While I'm sure that parts of it will still exist thanks to State-funding in more liberal-leaning states, they will be effectively limited in what they could do. This means reduction of potential testing for various STDs, increase in unwanted births, further decrease in sexual education of the populace, and increase in STD spread throughout the populace (as related to the first point). In summary, we will experience addition suffering for thousands of people in a first world country. Again, in their approach to political goals, GOP has shown itself to align more with Saturday morning cartoon villains, than the populace they are supposed to benefit.
When Trump's presidency fucks over America and the Democrats win 2020 in a landslide I hope you Americans give the Republicans a taste of their own medicine. Conservatives love to pretend they're an oppressed minority and I think it's time to make their fears real. This election has exposed their disgusting bigotry and for their crimes they deserve nothing better than hatred.

I swear, George was far ahead of his fucking time. Makes me wish he was still alive today, just to see what he'd have to say about the crazy shit that's happened in the past 8 - 9 years.
The ultimate goal here is clearly to make America such an unlivable country that immigrants don't want to come here anymore.

Always easy to spot the virgin in threads like this. Seriously though, sit down and think about the repercussions this has. Shit happens man. Your analogy is like saying, "Well, we should get rid of car insurance. Those dumbasses should have seen that guy running the red light. Idiots."
Condoms break. Contraception fails. Rape happens. Open your eyes dude.
This song becomes quite relevant;

2016 was a great year in hindsight, the last year before the GOP takes over and fucks everyone with a spiked dildo.

Fuck you Paul Ryan, more women will die because of you.

It has been so long since I've seen this I bursted out laughing, oh god. I even have this on DVD.
RIP George Carlin, one of the greatest comedians of all time.

Yeah, it's a terrible argument and makes me cringe every time I hear it. Nothing screams 'edge' like that does. It's one thing to joke around a bit with it in conversation, but to actually hold that belief is quite absurd.
