It’s hard for me to understand why in the 21st century, there are so many unintended pregnancies. Get birth control, get the morning after pill.

Why is this so hard?
It's NOT that hard. Back in the day, I knew a few women who practically used abortion as birth control. I found it disgusting, even though I am pro choice. No need to even have to abort if you took the proper precautions in the first place.

Neither should be overturned.

I’m pro-choice and while I am not crazy about gay marriage, it’s settled law, and we don’t need to go through that fight again.

True. But Roe v Wade ruled on privacy/self-determination grounds. The Constitution does not explicitly give you the right to privacy either, but the court found an implied right underlying the BoR and in settled case law.

Let's see. I don't have problems with abortions, but, I want Planned Parenthood to be banned. I do not want my tax dollars paying for someone else's irresponsible decisions.

As for same sex marriage, if I was Obama back then, I would have banned marriage period. Marriage has lost it's meaning a long time ago to most in this country, and it would also stop with all of these stupid divorces and alimony payments. Now, if a couple wants to go to a church or have someone marry them on a personal note, I have no problem. But I think it's time that government get out of marriage. I seriously think it is very unconstitutional to charge more in federal taxes for someone who is single, or married filing separately vs someone who is married and filing jointly. Just my two cents.

Eh, sadly, I have a friend who had a condom break on her. But, she and her boyfriend sucked it up and had the baby. He's going on 5 now, and such a sweetie. She says it was the best mistake that ever happened to her.

I don't think we have to worry about either of those things.

When their not wanting to overturn same sex marriage, Christian conservatives want the right to discriminate against gays and transexuals. https://www.vox.com/2018/10/11/17961...nation-lawsuit

They already did, in a way. I can't recall the case name, but on appeal to the SC, a man argued if a woman has the right to abort a fetus before it is born, he has a right to disown it before it is born, iow, not pay child support when it is born. He lost.
