Only one thing gets congress' attention. MONEY. After all, there's always another election coming up.
Corruption 101.
Ok. Then you can keep coming on City Data to complain, as if that will change anything.

I've been complaining on here for more than 10 years and will keep doing it. C/D is one of the last places for free speech. I used to say Twitter was also, until they banned Trump and started silencing other conservatives and anyone who doesn't tow the line on vaccines - Like Dr Robert Malone.

And that makes them unconstitutional as it allows some but not others to kill another human life solely for the sake of their own convenience.

Or Walgreens? Or Target? Btw, DG offers benefits. I know staff at their corp hq, and store staff also get some PTO. Big Boxes offer better benefits, though.

No, but there are not Walmarts in every town. For instance, the closest Walmart to the town where my grandparents lived is 35 miles away. Tough commute if your family only has one unreliable car.

For completeness, this is what you are responding to. How many times have I and other posters asked you to quote the entire post you are responding to. Terms of Service on CD require that you quote the whole post.

If you want to change the law, go lobby your Congress critters, state and federal.


Your response.

That doesn't change my response: that makes them (fetal homicide laws) unconstitutional as it allows some but not others to kill another human life solely for the sake of their own convenience. Either anyone can kill an unborn child at will, or no one can.

Your opinion. But if you want the law changed, you have to do something to try to change it. Like contacting your Congress critters or starting a social media campaign to do so.

If some of you think killing an unborn child is no big deal, why not let anyone do it? Fathers that don't want the 18+ year financial responsibility, for example? Let him kill the unwanted unborn child, just as the mother is allowed to do. But that doesn't happen. Here's just one example of a man sent to prison for killing his unborn child:

If he was sent to prison, why aren't women sent to prison for doing the exact same thing, intentionally killing their unborn child?

Greatest possible gift the Democratic Party could ever receive. PUH-LEEZE do it SCOTUS Conservatives. Not to mention that GOP fundraising based on anti abortion efforts; tens of millions of dollars, will be dead and buried. They’ll have nothing else inflammatory enough to rile up the base to get those millions from small evangelical donors without abortion being on the platform.

My fear is that the SCOTUS simply isn’t stupid enough to pull the trigger. They know what’ll happen.
Somehow I agree with you, BUT, it will harm many, many women.

I for one am not concerned about that. It will save hundreds of thousands of babies lives.
Women who want to have sex, can be a bit choosier about their partners and use protection.
