Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. - George Carlin

Or anyone else's who he will never know?! We all have different health issues - and I consider anyone else's - those I will never know - none of my business, so why in hell is it any business of Samuel Alito??

And right, not just the Extremes who won't protect Babies & Children but the Whole Magat Vipers' nest wing.

I'll add they do NOT Protect kids of anyone against Gun Violence.. worst of All!

Like Senator Murphy and others have said, I would have thought that Sandy Hook would have been the end of the conversation! But it's been 10 years! And it keeps happening! I would have expected immediate and decisive action - as happened in New Zealand - I really don't get it.

Yes, I agree, we need to arm our military - they are issued and trained on the use of weapons of war. But we've seen - over ad over - what happens if untrained angry 18-year-olds have access to them. The repeal of the Assault Weapons Ban should never have happened. We've seen the results. And if we're going to take action on anything, that should be a priority. But instead, they've sentenced innocent women to death, those that have ectopic or non viable pregnancies!

Just like Emmett Till's mother's decision to have an open-casket viewing of what was left of her son after he was lynched and that was in 1955.

It took 67 years AFTER that for Congress to finally pass an anti-lynching bill to make lynching a federal crime after over a century of effort.

Good Grief! Here we finally got rid of TFG, but his legacy lives on to make our lives miserable. And I don't just mean the lack of gun restrictions or, horrifically, Roe v. Wade - but I read a thread earlier about motorists targeting protesters with their cars. After Charlottesville and the horrific death of Heather Heyer - in her latest book, Mary Trump said they've passed what she calls "hit and kill" bills - which now make targeting protesters legal!

and I do recall some states actually allowing that type of anti-protest criminality.

This is what happens when apathetic people don't believe the depth and depravity that the GOP has descended to and dismiss it as "hyperbole" or "just political rhetoric", and that allows their evil to take over. But by then, it's too late.

They sat out the state elections for years and trying to claw back the sanity is now even harder to do.
