Do you find anything hypocritical about the left, when it comes to abortion, insisting that a woman has the right to do with her body as she wishes and simultaenously being vociferously insistent on requiring vaccinations? ( for the record, I support vaccinations)

Two different categories. Abortion affects three people (mother, father, and potential child). Vaccinations, more specifically the lack of vaccinations, affect the entire country.

I don't feel comfortable comparing abortion to vaccines. Here's my stances on both - interpret it how you want

Abortion - Not a big fan of it.. But sometimes it's probably the best option (rape, birth defects, extremely low IQ parents)

Vaccines - I support vaccinations. I'm not sure how I feel about forced vaccinations. I do believe they should be required if you let your kid go to public schools, daycare, etc.

Skins- if its the governments job to protect the people, I would ask you a couple of more questions:  Should all people be forced to get the flu vaccine?   I think we all know that salt and sugar are both bad for you-should the government have a say in whether you can consume these items or a say on how much one can have? Should the government protect people ( save their lives) by making laws/rules/regulations against obesity?

The people is different than the person.

The flu shot I'm for, especially in public schools and the like. If you don't get the flu shot you could very well get me and anybody else sick.

None of the other stuff have anything to do with the people, you being obese does not affect me in any way.

Flu and obesity not comparable IMO. Being around an obese person cant kill me but being around someone with the flu can.

I think men should have an "opt out" clause where they don't have to pay child support, but they have 30 days after birth to declare it. Obviously this situation would be for one night stand type pregnancies where the two mates are obviously not going to work out. No child support = no visitation either, if one day ole Johnny decides to re enter the kids life.

Or if one of these crazy women lie about being on the pill. Men get the shaft in family courts hard.. Someone make a topic on this lol

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
