Yes, losing a clearly delineated and expressly stated constitutional right is unacceptable. Interesting point for you to make, as the Dems have been doing their best to achieve exactly that for decades.
Quote:Yet, many of those same people have absolutely no issue revoking the reproductive rights of a female.
Those statements are both factual and evident as posited on a daily basis for those that advocate for them.
Oh, so you were engaging in intentional hyperbole? As stated earlier in this thread, there is no stated right to abortion in the Constitution. Never mentioned, not once. If your argument is that it falls under the 14th's right to privacy, then you'd have to agree that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional as well. Regardless, coaching abortion as protected by the 14th amendment was a poor conclusion, as exemplified by yesterday's decision.
Quote:If you polled all Republicans and Evangelicals, and asked them if which they would rather see completely outlawed; any requirements for gun ownership or all abortions, even as a result of rape and incest.
What do you honestly think the results would look like?
The results would be immaterial to the argument you're making. One is a constitutional right, the other is not.
Quote:I think you know very well what the results would look like, so please don't accuse me of being disingenuous or hyperbolic when the reality of where things are trending, Make the mistake, the ultimate goal is Christian Nationalism.
Oh, that's not why I labeled your argument disingenuous. I labeled it as such because it's based on a deliberately false foundation; that abortion and gun rights are both covered by the Constitution.
