Republican's claim they are the party of fiscal responsibility......yet they see nothing wrong with wasting thousands upon thousands of taxpayer dollars on what you claim is a lost cause.


BTW, it is not just a State issue when the Supreme Court has to get involved......wasting Federal time and money.
There are many, many people who believe abortion is murder. While I don't agree with those people, who are you or I to tell them they are wrong to believe that abortion is murder? I totally support and respect their right to their beliefs and disagree with my beliefs.

The law prevails.

Seems most people have no idea of the core political ideologies between Democrats and Republicans instead its come down to a reality show where the media determines how people view candidates.
A rather shallow way to bring to power the leader of the worlds most powerful country.

The law prevails.

The law will prevail as long as Democrats are in a position to defend it, and that goes for gay marriage too.


Republicans plan to ban abortion and gay marriage the first chance they get.

I disagree. I'm a Republican and support both abortion and gay marriage. I'm not alone.

Doesn't matter, the Republican legislators you have chosen to represent you don't and they will continue to try to ban both abortion and gay marriage. Their actions and words have proven that over and over again.

Democrats don't respect others' opinions. Democrats bulldoze others who don't agree with them even after they have won.

My vote counts as much as yours. We will see who wins in November.

Is anyone forced to have an abortion against their will? Is anyone forced to marry someone of the same sex against their will?


NOPE!


It's Republicans who wish to force others to live by their opinions.

There are plenty of Republicans that support both access to Abortion and Gay Rights; however their voices have been drowned out for 20 years or more as the party leadership has pandered to the religious right, as the social agenda has overtaken the Republican economic agenda. The party has been led astray.

There is a reason Donald Trump is the Republican nominee; the Republican party has failed their non-millionaire constituents by not doing anything to support middle and lower classes and ironically they have turned to a millionaire as their savior. It is a sign of the dire state of politics in our country that anyone thinks Donald Trump is going to improve the status quo for the average American.

The legal access to abortion in America will not be changed....ever.

Roe v. Wade will be overturned if Trump wins, Pence says

They have the same exact principle (singular, not plural) or foundation for every policy that they support. Using evil government aggression, violence, and coercion to impose their personal will upon their neighbor. Disgusting thugs and tyrants.
