Protecting the Constitution

[pacearrow02]

And millions of idiots in the US believe that climate change isn't real.

That doesn't change the facts on the ground.

Science doesn't care about your 'opinions'.

So I you just posted previously that you believe women can be men and men can be woman and that men can have babies.  Now you're saying science doesn't care about someone's opinions?

[rocket surgeon]

No doubt the same people celebrating this ruling would be thrilled if a Muslim coach led players in prayer at the 50-yard line.

  or if a team was putting BLM patches on the uniforms and a few decided they didn't want them on theirs??

Google "non-sequitur."

I'll just leave this for you here.

Indeed. Men can't have babies. Period. Wild that has to be said.

I remember when chicks with dicks was a kink that hards searched for on Alta Vista.

No, I'm saying that science says that gender isn't the same as sex.  Gender is a social construct, just like race.

But you know, here I go talking to a stupid person again.

I'm not conservative enough to be obsessed with trans people, sorry.

I can make exactly the same argument in reverse.

1) Your argument falls flat because they made a choice.

2) Are you really trying to use your family to argue my wife should be dead and my children should not exist?

First and foremost, I am happy your wife and family are good. Second, just from reading, none of the restrictive abortion laws would ban ectopic pregnancies.

I understand the freedom to quietly pray but if you read the actual case, players testified as saying they felt compelled or risked playing time as the coach would go to the middle of the field and hold up a helmet. If you've played a team sport, you would know that's pretty much universally a sign to gather.

Anyway, the Ninth Circuit's denial of rehearing actually states that after refusing alternative accommodations to pray from the school district, he advertised in the area newspaper and local/national TV stations that he intended to defy they request.

He then proceeded to pray out loud in the middle of the field immediately after he sued the school district with making sure that local politicians and members of the media were recording the event.

Feels really icky and not in good faith (unintentional).

But I guess to quote Matthew 6:5

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

Or was this only all about winning as it usually is?

Superb explanation of what went on here.

The coach is an attention whore who obviously doesn't give a shyte about kids -- or he wouldn't have put them on the spot in public, all but forcing them to join the prayer circle or be labeled heathens (or worse).

I'm not the least bit surprised by the ruling, though. SCOTUS has been taken over by Christian zealots, and they're already erasing decades of progress.

Nor do they disallow medical assistance for complications from miscarriages.  Also, very happy your family is well.

Not an ectopic pregnancy. We miscarried at 12 weeks which required a D&C, considered an abortive procedure.

These are the stone age people we are dealing with.

Republican candidate Yesli Vega:

"The left will say, 'Well, what about in cases of rape or incest?' I'm a law enforcement officer. I became a police officer in 2011. I've worked one case where as a result of a rape, the young woman became pregnant."

How does she know how many rape cases end in pregnancy simply because she's a cop? What a painfully stupid thing to say.

She was then asked, "I've actually heard that it's harder for a woman to get pregnant if she's been raped. Have you heard that?"

"Well, maybe because there's so much going on in the body," Vega said. "I don't know. I haven't, you know, seen any studies. But if I'm processing what you're saying, it wouldn't surprise me. Because it's not something that's happening organically. You're forcing it. The individual, the male, is doing it as quickly — it's not like, you know — and so I can see why there is truth to that. It's unfortunate."

This is what Justice Neil Gorsuch described as "quiet and personal" prayer.

I had a kid push me up against my locker and threaten to beat the crap out of me because after reading up on the war on Iraq, i was at the time not particularly thrilled with saying the pledge of allegiance. I then said it from there on out because the alternative was to catch a beating despite it being "optional". You can say that kids have the choice not to participate in these prayer sessions but you're fooling yourself if you think it's not going to be enforced in the background through direct or indirect means. This just opens it up for plausible deniability if incidents like these are brought up.

All the kids have always known, that the emperor wears no clothes.

But they bow down to him anyway, cause it's better than being alone.

This is stupid. Abortion saved my wife's life. Her second miscarriage required a DNC, which is considered an abortion process to remove tissue from a miscarried fetus. Not a baby, which does not exist until birth and absolutely cannot survive outside the womb until 20 weeks, a fetus.

Without that abortive process, my wife would be dead and neither my daughter nor son would be alive. Our abortion didn't kill a miscarried fetus, it saved a life and allowed the creation of two more.

...exactly, it does not kill the fetus.

Sorry you went through that.

There is tremendous pressure on people to go along. Adults having to deal with it is one thing, a teenager having to deal with it is unconscionable.
