Why do we allow straight men who will NOT have abortions OR marry other men, dictate whether or not Americans should be able to have abortions or marry members of the same sex? The very idea is oppressive and backwards.

However, should you and your spouse choose to better the world by adopting the hard-to-place American children up for adoption, then more power to you and thanks for making a positive difference in our world.
I mean, I know you're probably quite old, but technology has come a long away my friend. In vitro is a thing. But yes, I am looking forward to adopt the children that heteros did not care to raise themselves.

The Handmaids Tale is starting to look more like a documentary than a story. This country is overdue for a revolution,

For you left-wingers who voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and Jill Stein in 2016, these are the consequences.
If they keep stripping rights and undoing laws, it won't be long before gays can't marry, contraception is illegal, interracial marriage is forbidden, and Ginni can own Clarence as a slave.

that's why I edited to say "you and your spouse will never create children". Sorry I didn't do that in time for your response.

/\ This right here.
I understand why it was done in the past, but times have changed.

For the same reason why we let women dictate that men must sign up for the selective service. And the same reason why we let non-property owners dictate what property owners can and cannot do with their properties.

I think those comments are being way inflated by the Democrats as well. Anything they think will help them put up political hay in the barn. I voted no as well and I am a conservative. There is no more "tending to be" one way or the other anymore.

The way both sides especially the left sees things these days if you're not totally on board with their entire agenda and lean left or right on any one issue you're a liberal/progressive or a conservative. So I gave up trying to ride down the middle. .

And that's your business because? You know, where I live, its quite rude to mention to people that "You and your spouse will never create children." Do you do that to straight couples where someone is infertile as well?

Women don't dictate that, MEN do lol. 99% of war and military based crap is all because of MEN.

As long as you aren't molesting children in your basement or something else vile, I don't care what people do in their properties. Thats what right wingers do. They wanna even tell you that you can't smoke a joint in your backyard after work.
