Seeking asylum is the legal process. What do you think happens at that point? We give them a bottle of water and directions to the nearest Home Depot?

so does every immigrant qualify as a valid asylum request? having 10's of thousands of people jumping the border and hiding behind asylum is bullshit.

so how exactly is this giving the green light to rape?

You're right, it's not giving the green light to rape. It's more saying that 12 year olds who are impregnated while being raped by their fathers must then bear the child of their rapist.

Every immigrant has to have their claim to asylum evaluated to know if it's valid or not. How else would you do it?

If you don't like the law then by all means try to change it! No pretending it doesn't exist though.

once the broken boomer brain is gone we can hopefully fix everything. I say hopefully because gen x seems to be just as crazy. We need to get past the generations that didnt grow up with infinite information at their fingertips. They cant handle its power.
Can you elaborate on that, chum?

Asylum seekers get a hearing. That hearing would not run like you would prefer...

It's become nothing more than a troll line. <shrug>

Well, the messed up things they've done to the country are pretty evident at this point.

1. Barely any action on climate change.
2. Pushed the trickle-down fairy tale.
3. Slashing education funding.
3. Slow to get rid of anti-LGBT laws.

The fact that they won't step out of the way and let the people with the most to lose fix it just highlights their selfishness.

Many need to realize that when we blame boomers for these issues its not a personal attack on them, its an observation about a generation. Just like when we point out racism, we aren't blaming all white people, we just want to fix the damn problem.

As I get older I start to think more and more about this.
I’m all for the SC banning abortions, the house & senate can deal with the fallout. There will be more babies needing care, there will be more babies born with extreme disabilities that will need care and there will be a whole bunch of pissed off Women. I’d guess around 40% of Women.
Don't leave out the dead women. There will be a lot of those, too, depending on how things get handled.

Just a friendly reminder, the following cars may be manufactured by people in Alabama:
Mercedes GLE, GLS, C
Hyundai Sonata, Elantra, Santa Fe
Honda Passport, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline
Many Toyota engines.

Not sure if the people making those are also the idiots voting for these policies, but something to keep in mind when your next car purchase comes around.

That's exactly what they wanted though. Well, not that they would've complained about the opposite, but I'm sure they would get giddy at the thought of being the ones to overturn Roe v Wade.

yup, the only point of this is for it to fail and hopefully head straight to SCOTUS. This is, in essence, the purest form of "judicial/legislative activism" that you will ever see. You know, that thing that conservatives claim to hate: activist judges? This is what they depend on,

Hypocritical, bottom-sucking mollusks.

Well your ignoring the good news.

When the child (the one who was raped) dies in child birth because kids really aren’t meant to have kids and have much higher risks, we can probably charge the rapist for capital murder. Then we can put him to death.

The number of evangelicals who will get to feel self-righteous for punishing the wicked and protecting the unborn after they are all dead just warms my heart.

It’s a culture of life.
