My response is to call out the foolishness of progressives who claim that the measure of a society is how it treats its children.

To progressives, society is just fine when it kills its children.

Give this nonsense a break. Progressives do not consider fetuses to be children and the public and courts agree.

So because progressives believe in the right to choose and you don't your response is to ignore the call to help children in need?

You might be as laughable and horrifying as those you complain about.

It's just his usual diversionary whataboutism. Let's not talk about Repubs screwing over needy children so that the Rich can get richer. Let's alter the definition of child so we can talk about the evil nature of progressives.

The sad truth is that Repubs just gave women another reason not to carry a fetus to term. Deal with that.

I'll bet that you support capital punishment don't you?
I don't know about the poster to which you respond, but I was always a fence-sitter on capital punishment.

Until now.

After witnessing the disaster of the Anti-Christ Russky-puppet Traitor in the White House for a year, I want to bring back public execution for crimes of Treason.

And I want to see such events broadcast to grades K thru 12 or in "Civics" classes.

So on the abortion issue, it seems to me that a woman has a right to excise something a part of her own body. As for teaching the children well, the broadcast idea appeals to me.

I just saw a letter in our local paper from some cornpone fascist Trumpie, saying "Thank you, Russia!" -- citing fake news and fictional drivel of all the wonderful s*** Trump has done this year.

I think he should say that to the millions of parents in the LAUSD and NYC city-schools districts who were targeted by the terror hoaxes during the campaign, directed at deep-blue voting districts, preceding campaign debates by less than a few days, and unmistakable as psy-war operations directed from an IP address in Putin's Cold-War-era post.

"Thank you, Russia!" for targeting American parents and trying to scare them to death.

Public Execution for treasonous offenses, I say!

And the bible (although mainly just the old testament, and we all know that doesn't count anyway)
The old and the new are equally valid, however, one must be able to discern that Christ fulfilled the law for those who accept his free gift of salvation.:D

Yes it is.

And many progressives are fine with killing them in utero when the child is anything other than timely, healthy, and convenient.

For progressives to use this line is at once laughable and horrifying.

YES!! Deny them proper health care so they can be born sickly and then die, so much better.

You can always tell a bigot but you can't tell him much so I think I'll just waste some time:

Imagine that science comes up with a way to remove the unwanted fetuses of women who want to about and transplant them successfully such that they can be carried to term by men. Would you volunteer to save one of these "children". Assume all the debilitating effects of pregnancy on women's longevity and if you would do so, how many times would you volunteer? How many murder victims would you save knowing it's within your power but in no other way?

It's not that black and white, and the public and courts do not agree. The courts and some of the public agree in the concept of choice when it comes to a pregnancy, but taking religion out of the equation, the "cluster of cells" nonsense is very condional and often political.

When a pregnant woman loses a pregnancy, especially late term when the gender is known and maybe even a name chosen, she and her family mourn the loss of a child, not a fetus.

Scott Peterson was found guilty in a court of law of committing 2nd degree murder against his unborn son.

There is precedence and support for scenarios where we as a society do consider or perceive a fetus as a life.

Where conservatives are hypcrites is that they want to ban abortion and birth control programs. The best offense against abortion is sex education, birth control and family planning programs.

The fact that funding for CHIP simply was allowed to expire is an absolute travesty. Unfortunately the GOP is more interested in fixing issues with guns and hunting than making sure sick kids in hospitals can continue receiving treatment.

The entire anti-abortion narrative is about the subjugation of women. Period.

History is a funny thing. And no one cared about the termination of pregnancy until women started becoming more equal.

If only the people who have been so duped into thinking they care so much about abortion gave half as much energy into caring about those already born.

At any rate, it's also highly ironic that those who claim to be all about freedom and liberty seek to regulate the bodily functions of half the population.

Reeaon number 928 the GOP has become a cult for breeding authoritarian sheep.
