We live in a democracy, that you oppose democracy one must wonder why you remain in the United States (assuming you do, since you are apparently embarrassed to let the reader know where you live).
Nope.
We live in constitutional republic.
Overturning Roe v. Wade is not the most efficient means to reduce the murders of the unborn in America. The most efficient means to reduce abortions is education about, and access to, birth control.
Nearly half of all abortions are the result of NO birth control being used by the mother. Another fifth are due to the improper or inconsistent use of birth control.
Contrary to what liberals would have us believe, everyone has access to birth control. The trick is getting people to USE it.
Planned Parenthood also performs abortions.Overturning Roe v. Wade is not the most efficient means to reduce the murders of the unborn in America. The most efficient means to reduce abortions is education about, and access to, birth control.

I mostly agree, however Democrats & liberals and progressives support contraceptives provided by Planned Parenthood, which also proides comprehensive education on health and the use of Contraceptives to prevent an unwanted pregnancy and STD's.
Two take away's from Kavanaugh's statements:
- He called our form of government a Constitutional Republic, a code word for those who disdain democracy;
- He called contraceptives a form of abortion, again a code dear to the hearts of social conservatives.
And that is why we have a constitutional republic.Actually it is bothWe live in a democracy, that you oppose democracy one must wonder why you remain in the United States (assuming you do, since you are apparently embarrassed to let the reader know where you live).

Actually it's not.
In a nutshell.
In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a democracy, the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.
What you want is a democracy, but you cant simply get it, because of the constitutional republic.

Is this for real? Does it really require explanation for you?
We are not a Democracy. That's rule of the MAJORITY. That's a TRULY unstable type of government. We ARE a REPRESENTATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Where the rule of law prevents the majority from tyrannous acts. And it's the far left of your tribe that DISDAIN the Constitution and Rule of Law, because they sense themselves more qualified to BOSS other folks around and FORCE them to comply to their views and restrictions.
As far contraceptives, this becomes a basic science discussion. Contraceptives either PREVENT conception ENTIRELY (condoms) or they prevent fetal development. Certainly PlanB is a contraceptive that was developed to abort conception (the definition of a CONTRA-ceptive) after conception.
Those are STILL ISSUES. But they are also TRUE statements. So argue the ISSUES -- NOT the definitions.
Don't toy with a person who is heavily armed for debate like Cavanaugh about basic definitions. You will lose. You need to argue with him about the CHOICES of what he supports and doesn't.
And it's going to happen.No, Kavenaugh would need four other judges to overturn Roe V Wade. He cannot do it single-handedly.Once confirmed he will single handedly reverse RvW. Loons.
Birth control and/or various drugs related to family planning/non-planning are not a right. You are a moron.True.Kavanaugh explained the case this way: "That was a group that was being forced to provide a certain kind of coverage over their religious objection to their employees. And under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the question was first was this a substantial burden on the religious exercise."
"It seemed to me quite clearly it was. It was a technical matter of filling out a form. In that case they said filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they were, as a religious matter, objecting to."
That phrase, "abortion-inducing drugs," is one the right-wing glommed onto to intentionally confuse contraception with other drugs.
The man thinks that the pill is an abortion inducing drug.
If he's against birth control you know you can kiss Roe V Wade goodbye.
He's trying to pretend otherwise but the e-mails that the Dems released (over the objection if the GOP creeps) showed he clearly thinks he can and should overturn it
Unfortunately, even if Kavanaugh fails to be confirmed, the Heritage Foundation and other rightwing entities will find another reactionary extremist hostile to settled, accepted precedent and the rule of law.
I know what we were talking about. Are you saying the unborn are dead or don't exist prior to their first breath of air?Of course you don't. We were talking about the Bible. So when the Bible talks about the breath of life, what does it mean?Use complete sentences. I have no idea what you're asking.
Ask God, it is his Bible.
Sounds like he is saying life begins when you take that first breath?Explain please. Be specific as to who is pissing on the Constitution, how they are doing it...and link it.b I certainly appreciate how you assholes piss on the fucking Constitution if you think it helps Republicans.Have they been charged? Can’t be convicted if you aren’t charged. Lol! I appreciate your butt hurt.
Republicans. They do it all the time. For example, ignoring Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court.
Where is that in the Constitution? It’s called politics, it’s dirty politics however there is nothing unconstitutional about it However it could bite them in the future.
The part where it describes how justices get on the court.

They'd be hard pressed to find one this partisan or this outside the mainstream.
They certainly won't find one that thinks that President's are above the law
LOL, sure we do, but to leave out democracy, it is easy to move to the repeal of Amendments (15, 17, 19,23, 24, 26) when one party control alls three branches of government.
According to snowflakes, our Founding Fathers were 'Extremists'...

I mostly agree, however Democrats / liberals and progressives support contraceptives; Planned Parenthood; provides comprehensive education on health, sexuality and the use of Contraceptives to prevent an unwanted pregnancy and STD's.
Sadly, the Right Wing, and that includes the current Republican Party, seek to control human sexuality and have attacked Planned Parenthood as an abortions mill; put up roadblocks to install age related human sexuality in a comprehensive health care curriculum in the public schools, and closed clinics in RED STATES reducing abortion services to women and especially women who can't afford to travel, have no safety net, and no assistance from the sperm donor (jerks don't get to be called a father).

No, they wouldn't.
You fail to grasp the fact that whether or not someone is *extremist* has nothing to do with their ideology. It has to do with how many people embrace the ideology.
Americans embraced it.
Pretty much every ideology is *extremist* if you remove it from the time and place it typically occurs in.According to snowflakes, our Founding Fathers were 'Extremists'...

Yeah you're right if you add the qualifier that's its relative to THEIR CONTEMPORARIES. And not many of those folks embraced the ideology of going to war with England and inventing an UNKNOWN FORM of governance.
Yes, guaranteeing American citizens the right to peacefully assemble, the right of free speech, the right to defend themselves, the right to NOT have their religion be controlled by government, the right to due process...all those are so 'radical' to snowflakes, who want to control other people's lives and make decisions for them.According to snowflakes, our Founding Fathers were 'Extremists'...
