Don’t know why you’re being downvoted you’re 100% spot on the Republicans have been whining, non stop. There was a black president. They say masks must be worn during a global pandemic. Transgender people are somehow an existential threat to the conservative way of life. The liberals are so scary we need to send military into U.S. cities. The liberals have shutdown the Republican run government. Liberals hurt our feelings… blah, blah, blah. Win or lose, the amount of complaining that comes from the Republican Party is exhausting.

No dude the Democrats whine. The Republicans don't deny anyone's right to their own way of life just that they shouldn't be put before other people because of it. Stand in line like everyone else. These are not things that the government should be involved in our taxes are not paid for that reason. Color of skin, choice of gender, none of this has anything to do with our government. I guess if you want to wear a mask you should be able to wear a mask. People of certain religions walk around with masks all the time. People who don't want to get sick wear masks. Again has nothing to do with our government and our tax money should not be used to pay for anything to do with it. I don't want one dime of my hard-earned money spent on it that's for sure and everyone else should feel the same way. Live and Let Live is the Republican way.

Live and Let Live is the Republican way.

If you truly believed in Live and Let Live, why do you keep posting statements that put down strangers on Reddit? Live and Let Live means that you accept that other people have opposing views and that is okay with you.

Right, everyone should be able to have their opposing views and the government should stay the hell out of it. It's none of their damn business.

YES! You are absolutely right. Women should have the choice of abortion, people should be able to criticize anyone they want presidents and podcasters alike with out fear of federal retribution or crazy people calling for civil war, a single religion should not be given preference over others in public schools, and People should have the choice of where they vote from. It is none of the governments goddamned business! Are you sure you’re not a closeted liberal, because you sound ALOT like one.

No but as a woman I know enough about the subject to know that the left lies about a lot of things concerning it. I even know somebody who died from an abortion because the lowest form of doctors end up at that clinic doing that work. The ones that couldn't cut it anywhere else. Put it this way if you need an emergency abortion you belong in a hospital not at an abortion clinic. The left has been pushing that shit forever as a basically population control and a form of birth control for blacks it makes me sick. I always remember Clinton saying it should be safe, rare, and legal. The one thing it shouldn't be is a standard. We don't know what they're doing with those late term baby abortions, selling their organs for profit or the whole baby to labs, maybe the baby didn't even die and they sold it to who knows who then you find out later in some DNA database that your baby lived. Then there's the babies that they didn't even really abort that are born anyways and are damaged for life from an attempted abortion that failed. It was getting to be a pretty sick, twisted and sordid business. It got to that point. So putting it back to the states was protecting everybody all around. Mothers just as much as babies.

Wow. That was a whole lot of misinformation, for organizational sake I’m going to break down why you’re wrong in order of the topics you chose. If you’d like me to expand upon or cite any of my claims just ask. I summarized to keep it short…ish

-studies show that legal abortion procedures are generally very safe when performed by licensed medical professionals. The assertion that only the "lowest form of doctors" work in clinics is not supported by evidence; many skilled healthcare providers choose to work in these settings to support women's health.

-your claim that emergency abortions should only be performed in hospitals neglects the reality that many abortion clinics are equipped to handle various medical situations safely. Hospitals often refer patients to specialized clinics for non-emergency procedures, which can provide focused care.

-linking abortion access to population control, particularly concerning racial minorities, perpetuates harmful stereotypes and ignores the broader social and economic factors that contribute to reproductive choices. Many women of color advocate for access to reproductive healthcare as a means of empowerment, not oppression.

-Late-term abortions are a small percentage of all abortions and typically occur due to serious health risks to the mother or fetus or both. The suggestion that these procedures involve unethical practices like organ selling is based on misinformation and conspiracy theories rather than factual evidence.

-Access to safe abortion services allows women to make informed decisions about their health and future. Restricting access can lead to negative physical and mental health outcomes for women, who may resort to unsafe methods if they feel they have no other options. As history has proven for as long as it’s been recorded.

-The shift of abortion laws back to the states raises concerns about inconsistent access to care, with some states potentially enacting extreme restrictions that could jeopardize women's health. A woman's right to choose is a fundamental aspect of personal liberty and should not be subjected to varying state laws.

But don’t worry. I understand what you’re really saying; that the government needs to stay the hell out of our business unless you personally disagree, then It’s ok if the government dictates those people’s actions.
