@snarktasticgirl 😬 yikes. That is horrible. Even winning the lawsuit can’t make this right, but man this police department is in for some financial hurt.
@TiggerTwo4 I support not jailing, harassing, or waisting money on people who are discreetly engaging in consensual acts that are not causing any harm to anyone else.
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump Many care about bodily autonomy & the rights of the mother, but arguments that claim the fetus is not a life & it’s only about choice get weaker the closer you get to birth. It’s usually easy to look away, but the renewed debate brings out extreme views you just can’t jive with.
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump You have been here for days trying to twist everything I say into something you can get self-righteous about. The all or nothing position forces people to take sides, & it might not be the side you want them to take. “Choose lifers” are fighting an internal battle right now.
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump Hahaha, you are the one who brought up masks. Lol. You really want me to be some right-wing, Trump supporting, conspiracy theorist that you can dunk on. Just stop already. I’ve at least been honest with you.
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump With that said, there was also a lot of anxiety involved for both myself, my wife, and my kids. I had to also consider the mental health toll on my physical health to continue being so strict. There was also a lot of anxiety NOT wearing a mask at first. It was a tough few years.
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump Spread is down, the CDC recommendations have changed, my entire family is vaccinated, & we were amongst the last hold outs in our community. Add that masks increase face touching, & is seems that me wearing a mask in social settings would have negligible impact to public health.
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump Why is that relevant to this conversation?
I used to be very strict on masks, lately less so. I still try to social distance and avoid public indoor crowds when practical, but I no longer mask around friends and family unless requested.
How about yourself?
@justjax66@inhartsnkiss@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump I get that that’s your position.
My understanding is that @inhartsnkiss is more in line with what I am saying, but you are more inclined to disagree. To clarify, Do YOU support banning only non-medically necessary abortions after viability?
@inhartsnkiss@justjax66@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump I am asking you to try to understand what I am trying to say. Don’t try to trip me up. I am asking questions to understand so that we can stop talking past each other. I am not trying to play games. I still don’t even get what you disagree with. I’ve tried to explain myself.
@inhartsnkiss@justjax66@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump I’m not sure you ever will get my point. My question was asking what is wrong with restricting late term abortion unless medically necessary. You have agreed to that, so fine. The person I was replying to didn’t. Other people say “no restrictions” but won’t answer that question.
@inhartsnkiss@justjax66@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump I don’t feel that abortion should be outright prohibited, but I do get a bit triggered by this rhetoric. I belief we are talking about a human life. This really turns me off.
@inhartsnkiss@justjax66@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump No, it doesn’t imply that. I was trying to establish a baseline of understanding to build off from. I happen to believe that there are just causes for abortion. We can table the debate on what exactly constitutes a just cause for now.
@inhartsnkiss@justjax66@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump We must acknowledge the comment that started this entire thing has been deleted, so there is missing context that I feel you aren’t accepting. This wasn’t ever a Roe v Wade discussion. It’s about those who are pro-life personally, but pro-choice legally & the nuances between.
@inhartsnkiss@justjax66@Varan_the_Poop@RpsAgainstTrump Those people also tend to say, “late term abortion don’t happen anyway”, neglected to acknowledge that it may be BECAUSE there are legal limits. They want govmt out of abortion all together. I’m saying they loose lots of people that way. That rhetoric turns moderates off.
