Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings
Okay. I've had enough fun applying the Covid rules to abortion.
Here's how I really feel on the subject. I am pro-life but realize we'll probably never get to a point in society where everyone will want to bring a baby to term...so, if we limited abortion to only the first trimester (13 weeks), I feel that would be a good spot, especially as that is the cutoff point in the large majority of European countries.
I'd also like to see sex ed and contraception options widely available and not run by dipshits. Just the facts and no woke bullshit or attempts at grooming.
Lastly, let's get the adoptive services up and running better. It boggles my mind when people have to go out of country because it's too difficult here in the States. How can we make it so someone who puts their child up for adoption doesn't get buried in bills, but also isn't rewarded?

I'm not sure if you believe I actually give two shits about Trump. I really don't. What I do care about though is that he exposed all of Washington for the lazy, grifting bastards we all knew they were.

You'll never be able to know if an egg had been fertilized or not. Lots of eggs get fertilized but then don't implant in the uterus. It's no sure thing that a fertilized egg gets to the next step even naturally. No doubt a fertilized egg is certainly the start of a life, but that's the issue we have right now - science tells us life begins at conception, but we don't have anyway to move that out of a woman's body and allow the life to continue, before a certain point. Until we can create artificial wombs we'll have this issue. And once we have artificial wombs we'll have a new problem of too many orphans.

But, I would say the Russia collusion exposed the entirety of the DC establishment. Politicians AND careerists. Has there ever been a coordinated effort from the entirety of DC to get rid of a President like they pulled with Trump?

There's never been a President who groveled to dictators and publicly stated he believed Putin's version of events over his own intelligence services either.

Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings
I look at politics as a business and the politicians are trying their best to siphon off from the flow of money. Trump simply wanted to direct that money elsewhere and that was enough to get everyone behind the movement.

According to Gallup, it's basically a toss-up between pro life and pro choice generally. However, only about 30% believe abortion should be legal under any circumstance. This decision will paint the Donks into a corner to the point that they will have to define when life begins and how to frame any law regarding abortion. I see lots of teeth gnashing and tap dancing ahead.
There are people who say they are "pro life" but say at the same thing that they support "a woman's right to choose." I was reminded of that over the past few days as I saw talking heads take that position. Also saw Tim Kaine take that position during an interview.
Here is a link the Gallup polling on pro life vs. pro choice: https://news.gallup.com/poll/244709/pro ... ables.aspx
So, OK, in 2021 49% of respondents said they were Pro choice and 47% said they were Pro life. But it's pretty certain that some number of those who said they are Pro life are people who also support a woman's right to have an abortion if she chooses to do so.

Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings
Here is what I think is a good analysis of public opinion with respect to the abortion issue at this time (dated today):
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/20 ... -quandary/
I think it's clear that the "Republican" side of this is the minority side right now. I don't know whether this issue is important enough to people to make a difference in the mid terms. But there is zero question that a substantial majority pretty much supports the Roe vs. Wade paradigm.

Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings
I heard Glenn Beck take that angle yesterday so I Googled it. Here is a fact check on it:
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-hor ... ns-1703773
This is a drug approved by the FDA for use as an abortifacient in humans. Obviously, Ivermectin has not been approved by the FDA for use as a treatment for COVID-19.Despite the FDA's warnings, its past mockery of ivermectin advocates on social media appears to have now been seized on by anti-abortion commentators, keen to suggest the FDA-approved misoprostol represents a double standard or a lack of impartiality in drug regulation.
But these comments lack important context: Misoprostol has been approved for many years primarily as a drug used in medical abortions, but used "off-label" to treat ulceration in horses. By contrast, while ivermectin has been approved in animal (and some human) uses, it is not approved for the treatment of COVID-19 in humans due to a lack of evidence.
