        Yes, yes US-Israel relations are solely because of Joe Biden. Not like there’s history between those two countries that goes back decades or anything.

        You are very intelligent.

          I didn’t say that. At all. I don’t like Joe’s handling of the crisis, but I’m not a Biden hater. I’m a keep Trump out of office at any fucking cost voter.

    Death for abortions and IVF.

    The latter surprises me since it’s generally affluent white people doing it, and this group definitely wants more of those babies.

    Up next, death for miscarriage.

    Coworkers who don’t have daughters mock me when I say I don’t want my adult daughter living here because it’s dangerous. They think I’m overblowing it. They’re taking the standard, “if it didn’t affect me personally, it’s not real or important,” stance.

      I won’t mock you. I have daughters as well. We live in a solid blue state but out an abundance of caution me and my wife are working on getting them dual citizenship in my wife’s homeland. Still have some more paperwork to go through but it is happening.

      You should always have a backup plan.

      you mean the citizens there that did not want this too right?

      the disenfranchised voters, the voters whose information on the news and elsewhere is corporate owned

      blaming the citizens for the wrongs of the elites who keep the populace suppressed is how we got here to begin with

      what about the fact that many of the adults who did vote in favor of all this were indoctrinated from birth to be this way

      huge multifaceted issue that voting a religious catholic or a pussy grabber in will not solve

    Roe v. Wade fell during Biden’s presidency and the most he did was an executive order for women’s health research

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/18/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-and-announces-new-actions-to-advance-womens-health-research-and-innovation/

    how are you going to advance something that is now not here

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade

    The Catholic Church condemned the ruling by the Supreme Court.[141] Blackmun wrote in his diary, “Abortion flak—3 Cardinals—Vatican—Rochester wires!”[141]

    John Cardinal Krol, the archbishop of Philadelphia who was also the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Terence Cardinal Cooke, the archbishop of New York, both issued statements condemning the ruling.[175] Krol called the ruling “an unspeakable tragedy for this nation” that “sets in motion developments which are terrifying to contemplate.”[175] Cooke called the decision a “horrifying action” and added:[175]

    How many millions of children prior to their birth will never live to see the light of today because of the shocking action of the majority of the United States Supreme Court today?[175]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden#

    Biden is a moderate Democrat[549] who says his positions are deeply influenced by Catholic social teaching.

    how do the Republicans differ on abortion again?

              This seems extremely deceptive, possibly deliberately so. Being influenced by catholic teachings does not mean you agree with everything they believe. Even someone who rejects every single moral teaching of the church could still be influenced by them in some ways.

              In this case, we don’t need to speculate from some vague statement about the church because Biden has explicitly stated he supported roe v wade, has appointed judges that have pursued this pro-choice ideology, and has even stated that he would sign a bill to reinstate the previous protections for women. Such a bill was put forth in congress but was blocked in the senate. He does not have any direct control over this issue, so it’s hard for me to see what else he even could have done.

              It comes off as very intellectually dishonest to ignore all that and claim he’s “clearly on the record saying he supports the abortion ban” then point to something he didn’t even say and is only tangentially related.

              PS: There are tons of legitimate criticisms of Biden so it’s especially strange to invent ones that are so far from the truth.

                Biden being for women’s rights would have been a drastic out of common place executive order restoring women’s rights instead of one advancing research into a field that requires Roe versus Wade

          The president is not a dictator. It doesn’t work like that.

          Also, do you really think presidents should just be able to change the size of SCOTUS whenever they want to? What if Trump gets in and decides to shrink it to only the conservatives?

                  I know enough about our legislature to know that they would not approve 100 SCOTUS justices. I’m not sure why you think they would allow any president to do that unless they were a rubber stamp legislature, which they are not.

        Wikipedia is now a prime example of misinformation and propaganda?

        of course he would skip over saying that

        he said he is deeply devoted to Catholicism on record right there on his and the Catholic’s Wikipedia page

        how else could one look at those facts?

    2024

    Party Against Women’s Rights versus Party Against Women’s Rights

    regardless of which camp you are in both parties are on record saying they are against abortion

    even in one of the comments below a person commented that Biden would not say abortion

    in plain speak on both Wikipedia pages for Biden and the Catholic Church and we all know the Republican’s stance on this

    but both parties are not the same clearly

    one candidate is named Donald and the other’s name is Joe
