The whole “the father should have a veto power on abortion” is some twisted shit.

At least pro lifers can claim to care about life and claim to have principals.

Well, as has been pointed out, if carrying a child to term was was possible for both sexes, ethically the genitor should absolutely have a veto right, and in that case be required to have the fetus implanted.

Best principal:

[agrajag]

did you really need this thread to figure out that both sexes couldn't carry a child to term?

did you really need this thread to figure out that both sexes couldn't carry a child to term?

No. And as I originally said, I was undecided regarding the rights of the genitor, that's why I asked for opinions and reasoning.
The reason I asked was because I came across this: https://www.opposingviews.com/category/new-law-lets-dads-veto-abortions

I still believe that the genitor should have some rights, it's just that the rights of the woman weigh much heavier and thus overrule the man's rights.

BREAKING: John McAfee is currently either in the custody of US Federal Agents or on the run in or near the Bahamas.

He was last seen leaving a prominent crypto persons home via boat. He is separated from his wife at the moment. Sources are claiming that he is in federal custody. https://t.co/Wr7v28DeVu

— Mike Dudas (@mdudas)

I'll translate this: John got so tweaked out on a 3 day drug/booze orgy that he started having paranoid delusions that the feds were right outside his door and he bolted. We currently don't know where he is.

Wrap it up, Democrats are in trouble and doomed, james and Occam hardest hit: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/16/us/politics/abortion-republicans-democrats.html

With grisly claims that Democrats promote “birth day abortions” and are “the party of death,” the Republican Party and its conservative allies have aggressively reset the terms of one of the country’s most divisive and emotionally fraught debates, forcing Democrats to reassess how they should respond to attacks and distortions that portray the entire party as extremist on abortion.

The unusually forceful, carefully coordinated campaign has created challenges that Democrats did not expect as they struggle to combat misinformation and thwart further efforts to undercut access to abortion. And advocates of abortion rights fear it is succeeding in pressuring lawmakers in more conservative states to pass severe new restrictions, as Alabama did this week by approving a bill that would essentially outlaw the procedure.

“Democratic politicians constantly misunderstand the disconnect between their position and where the American people are,” said Charmaine Yoest, a vice president at the conservative Heritage Foundation, who was formerly president of Americans United for Life.

“People want abortion restrictions,” added Ms. Yoest, who recently left a job in the Trump administration. “And the more you reveal about the other side’s extremism, the more people say, ‘Wait a minute, I don’t support that.’"

Second, why does everyone assume that's a dude who owns the pickup? You know why, because liberals are the real sexists.

Also the sign in the background has been heavily (read: lightly) photoshopped (read: doctored) to looks like a penis (read:phallic shape).

Tweeting is not the way to share this sort of thing. I respect Amash but so weighty a matter deserves an article with citations of the report and his rationale connecting them as grounds for impeachment. I tweeted as much back to him.

If so, he’s absurdly naive. His principled stance is serving only to help people who don’t give a rat’s ass about the Constitution.

rumor was Amash was considering not running again since the House is a waste of time if you're not leadership, that's where the Libertarian Presidential rumor came from, but he was clearly scared off by the McAfee-Seder one-two punch, but now with at least one of those in doubt...

Meet the Press is heavy establishment. IMO, Sanders is going to have a tougher time on places like Meet the Press, Face the Nation, etc. over even Fox News' shows because they're so stuck in a mindset that the current way of doing things is correct.

A businessman is preparing to have a hysterectomy after doctors discovered he was born with a womb.

The 37-year-old Lancashire man discovered he has a full set of female reproductive organs after undergoing scans for suspected bladder cancer.

"It appears I could even potentially get pregnant. But I've been told by doctors I'll be having a hysterectomy in the next few weeks. Bizarrely, that could lead to menopause."
