We Should Have Contest of Who is the Most Outraged by Trump's Win (1 Viewer)

Both my wife and I are getting tattoos on our chest's that reads, "I voted for Obama 2009" just incase we end up in a nursing home.

In the recent past, any little event triggered 3 mo. of rioting, I'm a bit surprised, and crossing my fingers the peace continues, that this hasn't happened yet. Maybe they are tired. Or they got a job. Or they are high. For whatever reason, I"m glad they haven't taken over the downtowns with fires and bricks (yet) !

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Supreme Court decides what happens with abortions, not Trump?

Not entirely accurate, but still closer to the facts then thinking the damn President does. The citizens of the US are intentionally clueless. Sad state of affairs.

The Supreme Court has kicked it back to the states, individual states can address abortions as they see fit, basically.

With the overturning of Roe v Wade, it is determined at the state level. The president has no say, other than signing or vetoing any federal legislation that may come down the pipeline. It was sad hearing about "Trump abortion bans" during the election. Fake news.

As it should have been from the start.

When I made this argument to a woman I know, she reply was that Trump intentionally "stacked" the SC Justices to ensure Roe v Wade would get repealed.

Some folks just want to find a reason to hate this guy. I wasn't even going to vote for him but every lie and allegations they tossed at him only made me want him to win, just to foil their stupid plan. Had they just left him alone, he might have fallen on his own sword...

The supreme court has basically put the question back to the states to decide in their individual state, to generalize the matter admittedly.
It was always a weak thing for Kamala to campaign on because the only thing a President could have anything to do with it would be to try to PASS a NEW law either banning or allowing it -a federal law which she would never have had the votes to do anyway.
And even that law may have been found unconstitutional as States are typically seen to have the both police and 'welfare' powers over their people.

I just really want to know who are these people who go around having abortions? Setting aside the miniscule percentage (a solution in search of a problem) of ra** cases, but referring to the rest of them. Have these people never heard of marriage? Condoms? Birth control? Vasectomies? Not having sex if you don't want a baby? the morning after pill? There are a half dozen ways to plan when and if you have a baby, abortion is the crudest and most thoughtless approach - and I would venture to say the least pleasant for the woman, too.

To hear liberals talk, you'd think going around having sex and then aborting the child over and over was the only way women controlled things, as if it were ancient BC times with no other options.
Not so - they're quite in control when you think about it.

Having said that, I think states need to be very liberal in applying the "health/life of the mother" exception. They need to be very understanding so Doctors don't hesitate in those cases. That, I agree with.

True, and true. I experienced a bit of the same feelings. I was never realistically going to vote for a modern-day Democrat anyway, but the trumped-up charges where they twisted the law in a millions ways to make it fit 'something' - REALLY upset me and made me hope he win. Even my wife became more passionate about wanting him to win upon seeing those ridiculous things.

A totally legal NDA signed by a female accuser being somehow election subversion? C'mon, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and the only time they'd heard it too
