I agree with this post. We have a situation here where less than 25% of the country is telling the 75% of the country how they SHOULD LIVE. that does NOT sound like a free country to me. America says that problem with Russia and China is that the FEW are controlling the MANY. Yet America seems to be acting like Russia and China. America is going to be CONTROLLED detrimentally by the LUCK of a death of a Supreme court member (RBG) and a PATHETIC stalling of the chance to put a highly qualified person on the court (Merrick Garland) during the Obama administration.
.......So, how could we stop disasters like this (rule by less than 25%)? I would suggest the use of term limits for, in this case the members of the Supreme Court (lifetime RULE is crazy stupid). I would suggest something like 8 years for Supreme Court Justices (anywhere between 6 and 12 years would be an improvement over a lifetime term.
.........And, of course, I feel the same that Senators and the House should have 2 terms maximum.
..........Why limit the President to 2 terms (which is a good idea) and NOT have limits on Congress. Most all of the out-and-out HATRED of WASHINGTON develops as politicians FIGHT to make their job a LIFETIME APPOINTMENT. Term limits would significantly stop the corruption and lack of cooperation that has become synonymous with WAHINGTON!

IMO you have that backwards the 25% telling the 75%…:duck::duck:

Thanks friendly villager for the usual TOTV snark. I knew there was a reason i normally avoid posting here. But if you look carefully you will see I referred to "publicly funded insurance" and Medicare coverage for generic versions of Viagara which are covered under some Medicare plans.

Thought about it. Some say "save the mother ". But, some mothers would sacrifice their lives that their child might have a chance at life. My feeling is that men can share their feelings on this, but it should ultimately be the woman's choice. This will never be a trivial choice, so whatever the woman decides, she should be supported.

It is a strange LOGIC that proclaims "right to life" while REALLY meaning FORCED unwanted BIRTHS. What about proclaiming a right to a QUALITY of life for the pregnant woman. Those that want to pass laws to FORCE unwanted BIRTHS should be THEMSELVES FORCED to adopt these unwanted children.
.........I ask myself, " How can increased UNWANTED CHILDREN make a country stronger". it takes years of LOVE and devotion to turn a child into a PRODUCTIVE adult and thus have a stronger country. It is basically UNPATRIOTIC to require more UNWANTED children to be forced onto society. And at a time when the world is suffering from overpopulation problems like GLOBAL WARMING, species decline and extinction, forest destruction, and even the beginning phase of a GLOBAL world war.
............I wonder if OTHER COUNTRIES like Norway, Japan, Australia, and others allow 25% of their population
(consisting of CRAZY church ladies) to drive their countries destiny like here in the US of A?

One problem with abortion is that it is so secret that the horror of unwanted pregnancy go unspoken.[/QUOTE]

Not any more. Some now wear having one as a badge of honor...

That's today's common "scare tactic" that has ZERO basis in reality...

RGB stated the Roe V Wade was a poor decision and Garland has shown himself to be a lousy AG. What makes you think he would have been a good SC Justice?

And your 75% number is a red herring... That number is not "abortion on demand", it is abortion with set limitations, which is what we have in every State right now.

That said, there is (and should be) debate as to what those limitations should be...

Agreed about the NATIONAL referendum. This and many more issues should be decided by a national referendum. And I would like a 100% mandatory vote every 2 years. The US is SO important to the world that we should do our best to get our elections RIGHT. Something that we have not gotten right in the past!

I fail to see the snark in pointing out you were factually wrong. And you STILL are factually wrong.

Yes, there are now generic versions of Viagra. BUT... Those are not covered by Medicare, either...

Now, coverage by your Medicare Supplemental Plan is an entirely different thing...

And since Medicaid run on a state by state basis, the answer there is "sometimes"

Birth control, otoh, IS covered by "publicly funded insurance"...

From HHS: "All FDA-approved contraceptive methods, products and devices, including long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as IUDs (Intrauterine Devices) are covered."

"Mandatory vote???" :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Not voting is just as much of a right as voting...

Covid vaccines work! Only in the dark web of disinformation do they not work! Disinformation started in Russia to split apart Americans. NOt very patriotic!

Not the way they were advertised, they don't...

And questioning authority is one of the most American things you can do...

Further instructions........please avoid the dark web at all costs. Use traditional sources like mainstream TV NEWS.

I feel so PROLIFIC, so pretty, so witty, and so wise. They can put PROLIFIC on my tombstone.
