Ronald once said, "I have noticed that everyone for abortion has already been born". I like that line. I am more conservative than liberal for sure. And I do believe that RVW should be a state issue, not a Federal issue. But I doubt very much that it is overturned. I am not completely against abortions either, they have their place and there is a need for them, rape, incest, life of the mother, etc. I do have an issue with it when used as a means of birth control. There are more humane ways to deal with that, instead of murdering the baby. And as a Dad, I reject the idea that my daughter could get an abortion without parental consent if she is under the age 18. She can't go to the hospital and get a broken bone fixed without my consent, she can't go buy beer or smokes, she can barely go to an r rated movie without my consent but she can have a procedure that could have life long ramifications without my consent, get out of here with that.

Actually, seems to me I heard that states get money for foster kids so once they are adopted out of the system, that money stops. Pretty sick to do that if it's true.

I'd rather have people be responsible for their actions and the outcome of those actions instead of working to come up with new ways to skirt those responsibilities and asking tax payers to help foot the bill.

If Roe v Wade were not in the mix, why did all the SC candidates have to be pro choice.

IIRC, there was a teenaged girl, pregnant, caught up in all that border crossing illegals. She was being held. She wanted an abortion, had the resources to pay for it and a person who would take her to the clinic. The person in charged tried for weeks one delay after another to delay her until it was too late. That person was Kavanaugh.

When you do, make sure you turn off the option for people to see the results by user name so that left wingers can vote yes and then blame conservatives for it.

What if she were impregnated by your brother and didn't want to tell you because she knew you would kill him graveyard dead? And end up in jail.

My guess is Roe V. Wade will be overturned. But I think that will not be received as well as Republicans think it will be. The GOP has worked very hard to keep Kavanaugh's views on abortion shielded. He wrote that he does NOT considered it settled law. And the GOP has opposition to both in their platform. I don't know if he will overturn gay marriage but I think Roe V. Wade will be overturned and go back to the states.

My prediction is after Roe V. Wade is overturned, the states that have laws automatically making it illegal, (there are several) will become less appealing to corporations. And if gay marriage is sent back to the states, good luck attracting tech companies to those states. The GOP has been hammering these old views for as many votes as they can wring out of them, which is not surprising. But the election of Trump has now turned the GOP into the anti gay, anti women and anti minority party. Trump supporters can dispute that if they like, but that's reality, whether they admit it or not.

I've yet to find a human with more than 2 functioning brain cells who actually believes this crap. It's odd how the people who claim that Donald Trump is mentally unstable seem to be the most delusional people in the country.
