Imagine if we took the same attitude toward gun safety conservatives urge toward abortion -- we'd encourage culture of machismo and glorification of violence and rail against any attempts to encourage safe gun usage and insist that if anyone used guns irresponsibly it must be a purely personal problem, maybe a mental health issue, and that sadly there was just nothing to be done.
Imagine if we took the same attitude toward pandemic diseases, we'd shrug our shoulders and say I guess people just have to die but you certainly can't expect men to wear [facial] protection or keep their distance.
Since this subject has been dragged in here -- mtierney, what are your thoughts on the situation in Texas where the state is preventing a woman with a doomed pregnancy and a very real threat to her own life from having an abortion?

I wonder if she's even aware of it.
Based on today's transcripts, Fox News hasn't mentioned the story of Texas trying to force Kate Cox to deliver a fetus with a fatal condition -- forcing her to flee the state to get an abortion.

You can't have a witch hunt unless you make people believe in witches.
so I went to the Christian Nationalism counter protest in Norwalk Ohio.
the local county, Huron, went for Trump 18,956 to 7,759. yikes
Turnout was small - 20 people on each side, more or less.
We stood across the street. Respectful. No heckling under orders of the organizer.
Could barely hear the speakers.
I thought we had better signs. Some of theirs made no sense. "worship is warfare" what? Doesn't sound very Jesus like,
It was snowing. Froze my hands off.
Broke up after an hour.
meh
Good that you showed up and made your/our voices heard, in some way!
Obviously begs the question of what sort of protest is most effective. Just seems like it is increasingly only about money, unless the numbers are too large to be ignored.
yeah, what struck me about this protest is that it was so brazenly supporting something that is so obviously un-American. How can you learn about the search for religious freedom that prompted our founding, learn about the 1st amendment, which is pounded into our heads constantly, and then turn around and rally for Christian Nationalism? WTAF?
boy, these Ohio Republicans sure have a lot of energy. They just won't stop.
The gerrymandered Ohio House’s Rules committee just referred a bill that is an open attack on the power of the judiciary and the separation of powers that defines a government of checks and balances. If they’re dumb enough to move and pass it, judicial review of it should be fun. https://t.co/POgbPX2OGS
