Come at me, bro. The "partial-birth" bullshit was bullshit, and yet both sides recruited their brightest and best to argue it all the way to the Supreme Court who, for lack of a better term, split the baby. It was and remains dumb. I guess what I'd like to see is just some grand compromise so that we can move the fuck on from this worst of wedge issues that often boils down to arguments over angels on the head of a pin, except when it doesn't and then it's pretty important. I don't know, though. Slow day on Hubski, so why not argue something?This is such a dude argument.
LOL The best argument I've ever heard, pro or con, about abortion is that nobody got to legislate it. it went to the supreme court and pop it couldn't be legislated anymore, for or against. That was maybe thirty years ago, well before Turdblossom decided to put family values bills on everyone's ballot in 2004, before Gavin Newsom decided to say "double eagles bitchez we're marrying gays" and before pretty much the entire country went "you know, I'm not enough of a bigot to give my support to a law denying gay people human rights." This article has a fuckin' coloring book in the margin to illustrate the vigor and vim with which legislatures will approach the problem even when they aren't allowed to make it illegal. It is my firmly considered opinion that a house'n'senate passed, presidentially-signed sentence that said "healthcare decisions related to pregnancy are the purvey of women and the physicians supervising their care" would club this entire fucking issue in the head never to rise again.
That's a pretty broad brush you're painting with. The extent to which the world doesn't suck because of weighty compromises struck by American liberals and conservatives in the postwar years is lost on people like you and the Trumpers. The world is way worse when a single point of view dominates.
