If you can't take care of the paperwork to allow it after 30 years, maybe a more responsible person should be going into the hospital room.

Thank you for proving my point. Republicans are happy to keep rights from other Americans. Democrats fight to expand rights to the people Republicans would rather keep down.

You should not have a right to force someone into a contract or to trespass on the property of another.

Like I said, Republicans fight to limit who has access to rights, Democrats fight to expand who has access rights. That's why Republicans think they have a right to discriminate.

No, they do not. Democrats are constantly placing new infringements on the economic and property rights of damn near all Americans.

Keep telling yourself that while ignoring that Republicans actively fight against low-wage workers earning enough to not need welfare, poor people getting access to healthcare, and middle-class workers getting fairly compensated for 40+ hour workweeks.
