There it is, at the very end, like a curtain close at the end of the performance! “Dem apologists”!

Still waiting for to prove your claim that I post here under other user names. But then we both know it's was only designed to take any meaningful discussion further off track with off-topic bullcrap.

I've been debating Dems on these issues now for over 20 years and know of no other person that's made the same arguments as I have.

So put up or retract.

That’s new. “Retract!” Is this the encore?

So, it's as I said... you have no proof I post here under another user... and it was merely a lame deflection from your inability to dig yourself out of the hole you created for yourself... claiming you make the same points about the Dems not pushing for democratic reforms as I do... while claiming I made no suggestions for possible strategies when in fact you ignored them. What a mess you've made for yourself. So, sure... deflect and now evade your own claims I post under other user names. Which also begs the question if you claim to have the same critique of the Dems as I do... WTF is your problem with my doing the same? And where are your suggestions for Dem strategy?

Crickets. That's because you're only true intent was to be a Dem apologist which you lack the integrity to admit to even if that's the only explanation for your bizarre and contradictory posts.

And with that, I'm ending this discussion before the mods step in.

So are you going to Montana soon?

Should we alert the mods? If you worry it’s a possibility that it should be done, maybe we should err on the side of caution and do so. What do you say?

You are VERY sensitive to that particular observation regarding the possibility of you having multiple accounts. If you don’t, then they must have a factory somewhere where they mass produce.

There is no such thing as pro life anyway.

oh, most definitely. even if you stick to central Europe or the Americas things aren't looking much better, but it really is everywhere.

what I originally meant was concerted effort, but even that on second thought is on par with what you were saying. the deck has been stacked against women for the longest.

My aunt just started chemo last week. The doc called in a script for a nausea medicine. She went to pick it up and it was $300 because the doc didn't put a diagnosis on it. Like cancer patients are selling nausea meds on the black market. Fuck them, as if cancer isn't bad enough.

That's God's will.

I'm not sure, Robyn. You may not be assessing these numbers correctly. Remember what Senator Cassidy of Louisiana said when addressing bad mortality rates for women in his state: “If you correct our population for race, we’re not as much of an outlier as it’d otherwise appear.” He's still a Senator and will remain so because Black people don't vote like they need to in Louisiana. A testimony to a century worth of voter suppression.

"And I wonder how many females applying to colleges are only going to apply in blue states with access to full reproductive care." STF

Yep, that is a good point.

I understand the Bay State has a few good colleges. But we here in the Golden State have 1 or 2 ourselves.I hope young ladies consider being a Golden Bear, Baby Bear, Trojan, Aztec or any of the several dozen others.IF YA GOTTA BE a papier mache tree, well okay, that's fine too. Grrrgugrrers.

Rs have weaponized religion into something dirty and disgusting. Those who followed are morons.

Actually true. Same goes for money spent on police and perceived rates of crime: there is no correlation between the two, but people BELIEVE there is, so when they read that their municipality has increased the police budget or hired more cops, they say that "crime has gone down" (even when it demonstratively has not). The reverse is also true, as all the hysteria about "defunding the police" (which didn't happen anywhere) proves.
