Your political opinions

[ALittlePush]

"The abortions that take place later do so because it takes time to do the ultrasounds and genetic testing. Sometimes a fetal MRI may even be needed."

What I mean is the process should be sped up between doing the test and getting the result. The tests should also be carried out at the earliest opportunity.

Well, they're not carried out sooner. In fact, sometimes doctors perform them later just so the woman can't have an abortion.

Well, that should be changed.

There is no right to ban abortion at any stage. There are also plenty of women who have abortions after 21 weeks because they needed to raise the money first and secure transportation in order to get the abortion. Why would anyone force that woman to give birth if she's so downtrodden that she can't drive to the clinic or pay for the procedure. And if your argument is give it up for adoption, I'm sure that won't overload the system at all. Also, it's cruel to make a woman go through labour and delivery just so you can feel better about your moral high ground.

Do you not see the issue with women aborting healthy babies at a later stage because they can't afford to do it sooner? It shouldn't be a case of "let's have late stage abortions", it should be "let's ensure women have access to abortions (whether this be financial/transportation/etc) at an earlier stage".

Perhaps forcing impoverished women to have children is not in the best interest of society.

Perhaps impoverished women should try and avoid getting pregnant in the first place if, as you say, they're so impoverished it takes them months to save up for an abortion and they can't afford to raise the child. Obviously there are situations, such as rape or abuse or failed contraception, where a women may become pregnant unwillingly and that is not their fault, but abortion should not be used as a form of birth control. No woman should be a regular at an abortion clinic.

Here goes...

I'm a constitutional conservative. I believe in the constitution and America first. I believe the government serves the people, not the other way around. I WILL NOT sacrifice my rights and freedoms for a little bit of safety. That's the complete opposite of liberty, and our founding fathers warned us against it. The smaller the government, the better. I love this country, I love the flag, I love what it stands for, and I will never apologize for that.

You are a very brave soul for saying that. If I'd known this place was as full of SJWs as it seems to be, I would never have bothered posting in this thread, it's not worth the hassle and earache you get just for having a different opinion.

I'm pro-gun. I believe the 2nd amendment is the most important amendment. Without it, we lose all the others.

I used to be anti-gun, never saw the need for them, this year has shown why guns are necessary. I also think America is at a stage now where trying to take away guns won't work. The only people it will hurt are the law abiding gun owners since criminals won't care about a law saying they can't have guns.
​

I'm pro-choice. It should be "my body, my choice" for EVERYTHING. Including abortion, vaccines, and now because of Covid, masks. ( )

I agree with you to an extent:

Abortion- definitely (though I think there should be a term limit on when a woman can have an abortion with late stage abortions only happening under specific circumstances if at all. Certain things may have to be put in place to make that achievable).

Vaccines- Whilst I agree that people shouldn't be forced to have a needle shoved in their arm, at the same time vaccines are beneficial as a whole. People are a bit wary of the covid vaccine specifically because of how quick it has come about (even though it could be argued that's because a ton of money was thrown behind it) but as a whole I would say that vaccines should be encouraged.

Masks- I think masks should be worn in stores just because it's an enclosed space where a mixture of strangers come into contact with one another and move around, however people should be free not to wear them outside.

I also think something needs to be done about cigarettes. If a person wants to smoke and slowly kill themselves with cigarettes, then that's their choice. However, the people forced to breathe that second hand smoke aren't making that choice.

I'm pro-cop. I will defend the police until my dying breath. Not all police officers are bad. Not all black people are criminals. Not all white people are racist. Ignorance comes in all colors.

I completely agree with this. Defunding the police is an idiotic idea that only benefits criminals. Perhaps the defund the police crowd should just not call the police if they become a victim of crime.

I believe man-made climate change is a hoax, and I have the studies from REAL environmental biologists to support it.

I kind of disagree with you on this. Whilst I do think there is an element of the earth warming as a natural process (hence why we're not still in an ice age), I do think big polluters such as China and others are causing it to happen faster than wildlife and the environment can adapt and that is something that should be dealt with.

I believe socialism, even "democratic socialism", is HORRIBLE. It has NEVER succeeded. If implemented, it will lead to communism.

"Socialism only works in two places: Heaven, where they don't need it. And Hell, where they already have it."
-Ronald Reagan​

Agreed.
​

I believe in LEGAL immigration. "Undocumented" is a nicer term for illegal, and I believe illegal immigrants are only making it harder for those trying to do it the right way.

Agreed. Don't illegal immigrants also get taken advantage of for cheap labour because their illegal status means they can't report any unscrupulous business practices?

I believe there's rampant corruption in both political parties.

This is kind of obvious.

Taxation is theft.

Agreed, though I suppose governments have to get money somehow to fund public services.

There are only two genders.

I'd say there were possibly 5: Male, Female, Trans-male, Trans-female, and potentially intersex.

If you (“you” directed generally at anti-maskers, not anyone specifically here) don’t want to wear a mask, then fine. I don’t think much of your professed uber patriotism if you can’t put a piece of cloth on your face when you run inside a store for ten minutes to reduce the danger to your fellow citizens, and I doubt the veracity if anyone claiming they’ve been in combat if they can’t even wear a mask, but fine. I unfortunately can’t force you to wear one, and I unfortunately can’t kick you out.

I’ll grit my teeth as you blithely walk in maskless straight past the literally 7 signs saying “no one may enter without a mask”. I’ll say hi and politely ring you out and treat you the same as anyone else.

Just know I’ll flip off the back of your head when you turn to leave and write you off as illiterate white trash. Know that.

And there it is. Punishing women for having sex by forcing them to give birth. No comment on the responsibilities of a man to not get a woman pregnant.

Since access to earlier abortions isn't an option for a lot of women right now, you have no right to ban abortions after 21 weeks. Don't like it? Vote out the people who create the restrictions for earlier abortions in the first place.

I also love how pointing out flaws in someone's argument makes a person a SJW.

So patriotic and pro-freedom, they have the right to put others at risk either by not wearing a mask or procuring the highest caliber gun they can find. USA!

How awesome of you

Typical SJW. The moment someone says something you don't agree with, you immediately go on the attack, make them out to be a bad person because how dare they not follow the SJW narrative.

It takes two to tango so to speak. Both the man and woman have the responsibility to try and avoid pregnancy if neither wants to become a parent. The woman has agency, she's not at the mercy of whether or not her male partner wants to use protection. She can use her own form of contraception if her partner refuses to wear a condom. Alternatively there is always the option of not having sex if the condition of protection won't be met, she has that choice. Like I said above, there are situations where a woman may become pregnant unwillingly, in which case an abortion is necessary however an abortion should not be used as a form of birth control just because neither partner wanted to use contraception.

I also love how pointing out flaws in someone's argument makes a person a SJW. Got any more right wing dog whistles?

Disagreement is a basis for civilised discussion. Belittling someone just because you don't like their opinion, as you have done several times in this thread to various people, and attacking them for it eg "got any more right wing dog whistles" (and we all know the insinuation that goes with that) is what makes you an SJW. Hypocrisy is a main SJW trait, and for a group that likes to virtue signal about how tolerant they are, you sure are an intolerant bunch.

You asked for it.

1000% Green New Deal in effect, like, yesterday. Climate change is real and its effects are already starting to surface. It's the greatest threat to the human experiment EVER. I don’t want my daughter to be living in a hell world when she’s my age.

Bring back the Fairness Doctrine. No more Fox, CNN, OAN, or MSNBC. Cancers, all of them.

Corporations aren’t people and they should be regulated like crazy. The entirety of human history proves they can’t generally be trusted and they only care about their bottom line. Do you like not eating food featuring bugs or carcinogens or that’s made with child labor? Do you like days off and weekends and vacation and sick time? Do you like getting paid a living wage? Do you like companies that don’t have shoddy safety standards that frequently result in loss of limbs, loss of life, poisoned water supplies, explosions? Then you like regulation.

Just like roads, water and electricity should be public utilities.

Delete the electoral college. Ranked choice all the way.

Defund the police. Break up their unions. The whole concept needs a restart.

That said, totally cool with unions generally. This would be a completely different country if there were retail workers unions.

Tax the **** out of churches. They’re selling something just like everyone else and they exert enormous influence.

No lobbyists, MASSIVE limits on political donations.

I am deeply troubled by most displays of “patriotism.” I have no special love for flags or anthems, and the insane fervor people have for patterned cloth and songs is profoundly disturbing. It’s just team sports or Marvel vs DC mentalities on a global scale.

Not wearing a mask is either ignorant or selfish. You don’t actually care about your fellow person or freedom, you care about YOUR freedom, explicitly at the expense of others.

I support mass protests, including the disruptive kind IE screaming at politicians out for dinner or in their homes, throwing the tear gas back at the police, blocking them from entry.

The upper class should pay more. A lot more. A LOT MORE. No country should contain as much wealth as this one does and also be as stricken with poverty as it is. It’s absolutely obscene. Not a social net, but one of those big inflatable stunt pads, big enough for everyone. No one should ever be forced to steal baby formula in this country. Not ever. And if that means we can’t have billionaires, well boo-****ing-hoo.

Single payer, all the way, with the government setting caps on health care costs (IE neutering the big pharmaceutical companies).

Decriminalizing drugs and taking a fact-based treatment-centric approach to addiction issues.

Abortion: 100% legal. And opposition to abortion without at least a corresponding support for robust social services and support (including support for easy access to birth control and comprehensive sex education) is not a coherent worldview since the later is the BEST way to reduce abortions.

The last even remotely decent Republican president was Ike. The rest can all go to hell. The party of politicians as a whole is a collection of ghouls and oozing evil and I wouldn’t mind at all if the Earth just swallowed them whole.

The Democrats only fair marginally better. Obama was a massive disappointment. I can’t stand how the party generally postures as left wing, whilst shunning the actual left and taking credit for their accomplishments. They come to the table bought and pre-compromised and I’m ready for it to go extinct in its current form.

I struggle with the death penalty. So many wrongfully accused have died. But it's hard to say we shouldn't put people like say The Toolbox Killers down like rapid dogs. I don't know.

For sensible gun rights. You can have a shotgun for safety. No you can’t have a flame thrower and an M60.

Gut the military. So much waste and corruption. And the blind worship has got to go.

I have no pithy answer for immigration. I can’t say I’m all-in on open borders, but the current system is abominable.

Break up monopolies like Google and Disney.

The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars movie.

Cool story. I never said I was tolerant. I'm especially intolerant of opinions that are grounded in misinformation (like your shpeel about how fetal abnormalities are uncovered well before 9 months) and ones that want to regulate a woman's body to punish them for having sex.

I assume you're a guy. Do you have any idea how much birth control costs? Or the hormonal havoc it inflicts on a woman's body? I'm guessing not. So how about we don't force women to give birth if they don't want to. I don't understand wanting to bring more impoverished children into society if the parents couldn't afford birth control or abortion or lived in a sorry ass state that touted abstinence only sex education. The only reason I can think of is so someone can feel better about themselves and their morals by inflicting their beliefs onto a person's choice that has literally nothing to do with them.

 

[moviedoors]

When someone points out to you that some birth abnormalities aren't caught until late in the pregnancy, "well they should change that" is not a useful response.

 

[LoganPool]

That bolded part struck a cord with me. Let me explain myself a bit. I am NOT ant-mask. In my state, there are exceptions to the mask mandate. One of them being PTSD. I don't usually share this, but I think I need to here:

I served in the Air Force as a Security Forces Patrolman. (Those of you unfamiliar, that's the air forces version of Military Police.) During a deployment at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, the convoy I was in was attacked. One of my friends was KIA, while myself and two other were captured. I spent about 14 hours with a burlap sack over my head. That was about 12 years ago... and to this day I have a hard time sleeping on my side, because the pillow gets too close to my face and I panic. This is SuperheroHype, so let me make a superhero reference...

"I have been marked once, my dear, and let me assure you, [pulls back his sleeve to reveal the Nazi concentration camp serial number tattooed on his arm] no needle shall ever touch my skin again."
-Magneto from X-Men:The Last Stand
​

In the same sediment, I have been "masked", and let me assure you, no cloth will ever cover my face again.

 

[Donner]

There are plastic shields.

 

[ALittlePush]

Cool story. I never said I was tolerant.

Wow, an SJW honest about their intolerance towards others, that's a rarity.

I'm especially intolerant of opinions that are grounded in misinformation (like your shpeel about how fetal abnormalities are uncovered well before 9 months) and ones that want to regulate a woman's body to punish them for having sex.

Who is punishing women for having sex? You're the one pushing that narrative, all I've said is that late term abortions should be avoided if possible unless there are specific circumstances and that abortion shouldn't be used as a form of birth control because two people couldn't be bothered to use protection. At no point have I said that birth should be a form of punishment for sex, that's what you're saying.

I assume you're a guy.

You've just misgendered me. Don't SJWs consider that a terrible crime that is deeply offensive?

Do you have any idea how much birth control costs?

Is it cheaper to have an abortion? If so, then make contraception cheaper.

If late term abortion is justified by "it's cheaper than contraception", then there is an issue there that clearly needs to be addressed.

Or the hormonal havoc it inflicts on a woman's body? I'm guessing not.

Which is why the male partner should wear a condom. It's the easiest form of contraception that doesn't affect the internal workings of the human body. If he refuses, then the woman always has the option to say no. She is capable of making a decision for herself, getting pregnant is not solely dependent on whether or not her partner wants to use protection, she is responsible for her own decisions.

So how about we don't force women to give birth if they don't want to.

How about we encourage women to try and avoid getting pregnant if they don't want a kid.

 

[InCali]

Wow. A misinformed person who buys right wing myths, that's a rarity.

All you women out there, don't get pregnant. Guys, you don't have to worry about it so don't.

How clever of you using the "did you just misgender me" trope that right wingers use (it's not clever, by the way). You keep calling me a SJW and for what? Pointing out the flaws in your argument and advocating for pro-choice? How triggered.

And again, you point to the woman bearing the responsibility of avoiding pregnancy. How about we encourage better sex education and cheaper contraception and less religious politicians? That's the root of this.

That and a system built on keeping the poor poor and the women/POC "in their place."

 

[ALittlePush]

When someone points out to you that some birth abnormalities aren't caught until late in the pregnancy, "well they should change that" is not a useful response.

"Well they should change that" was in response to the comment that some doctors deliberately perform the scans later so a woman can't have an abortion. If the scans can be performed earlier (and the time between scan and result sped up) so that defects can be detected earlier then they should be.

That bolded part struck a cord with me. Let me explain myself a bit. I am NOT ant-mask. In my state, there are exceptions to the mask mandate. One of them being PTSD. I don't usually share this, but I think I need to here:

You don't have to justify yourself to SJWs. You have a valid exemption from the mask mandate, that's all anyone needs to know.

Wow, another SJW jumping to attack, what a surprise!

Everyone who has a left wing opinion is a SJW.

Even pointing out the science and facts behind mask wearing or later abortions is somehow seen as left wing. This is how far we've fallen.

SJWs are inventing new genders, that's their catchphrase.

You keep calling me a SJW and for what? Pointing out the flaws in your argument and advocating for pro-choice? How triggered.

You're the one getting triggered by opinions that you don't agree with. I think late term abortions should be avoided unless under specific circumstances, you think they should happen whatever the reason. We could've agreed to disagree but you're trying to push the narrative that I think women should be punished for having sex which isn't true at all. That's what makes you an SJW, your insistence of painting others in a negative light purely because they disagree with you.

And again, you point to the woman bearing the responsibility of avoiding pregnancy.

Yes, how dare a woman be responsible or have any say in the decision of getting pregnant or not, she should leave it completely up to whether or not her partner wants to wear a condom. He doesn't? Well, she'd better start saving up for the abortion!

How about we encourage better sex education and cheaper contraception and less religious politicians? That's the root of this.

That's what I said in a previous post. If abortion is cheaper than contraception, that is extremely problematic and needs to be changed.

That and a system built on keeping the poor poor and the women/POC "in their place."

Give examples of this so called system.

I believe:

People who take strong anti abortion positions stances don't give a tinker's damn about the health and well being of the widdle baybees they claim to love so much.

People who say they love legal and only legal immigration really ought to investigate how their grandparents got into this county. Fun fact -my Italian grandfather committed identity fraud when he "legally" immigrated!

Pedestrians should stop their whining after I BARELY graze them when driving around before defrosting my windows. Its my choice to tool around with an iced up windshield, dammit!

After listening to the big city police union presidents this summer it became obvious to me that they are gang leaders interested in preserving their power and overtime and not public safety.

Social Justice Warriors like Ruth Bader Ginsberg and MLK rank among our greatest Americans. I would be honored to be considered in their ranks.

Folks who believe that there are only two genders and man made climate change is a hoax are profoundly ignorant.

In which case.......LMAO, I am not an SJW, and some people around here who know my post history better than you would find you calling me an SJW pretty hilarious.

I was referring to SJWs in the general sense as it's usually SJWs who berate people for not wearing masks without knowing the reason why people aren't wearing masks. Sure, some people can't be bothered and that's not great, but others like @LoganPool have personal legitimate reasons for not wearing a mask and shouldn't be forced to tell the world their reason just so they won't get harassed.

It's pretty pathetic how your opinion on masks and my opinion on abortions automatically paints us as SJWs. It's lazy, stupid, and something I expect from Fox News viewers.

It's your attitude towards others with a differing opinion that paints you as an SJW.

Even pointing out the science and facts behind mask wearing or later abortions is somehow seen as left wing.

Pointing out the fact that trans-women still have the biological attributes of men which would give them an unfair physical advantage against biological women in women's sport is somehow seen as transphobic.

It's the state of the world right now.

This is how far we've fallen. Didn't Ben Shapiro say that facts don't care about your feelings? Funny how the people who lean right are most easily triggered by their arguments being refuted.

How many times have Trump supporters rioted, looted, set things on fire and destroyed people's livelihoods in the last year? Zero.

How many times have the left done those things because a criminal got shot by police? The numerous amounts of video footage speaks for itself.

Some of the responses on here to an opposing opinion gives me all the context clues I probably need.
