Maybe you just had to be there.
Everyone around me gasped, so I thought I'd share it.

Crazy site on the San Francisco bay just now.

Definitely. It is meant to be a financial consequence, not an emotional/relationship benefit.

Time for a federal law requiring every father to financially support their genetically-linked children and the women that bore them.

I'll maintain that ignoring the integrity of the Means in order to achieve the Ends is a fundamental evil.

If your position is that a recently fertilized egg has an actual "soul" and is "alive", all further arguments are disregarded. This requires a religious belief system.
If your position is that a recently fertilized egg requires the support of a functional womb for a number of months before it can live on its own, and that there is no such thing as a "soul", then there is neither a "life" to be considered nor a spiritually relevant thing involved.

At the core of the debate about Roe v Wade is the definition of human life and if there is such thing as a soul.

Most people can see through a disingenuous person's argument.

But, many are also swayed by that person's rhetoric.

The author lacks integrity if the Means of the argument require ignoring the intent of the Ends. In this case, arguing that the Constitutional support of Roe v Wade is baseless (the Means) so that you can ensure the "life" and "soul" is protected (the Ends).

I should adjust that statement to read: "overtly conservative in their respective religion".

Has anyone ever encountered an anti-abortionist that wasn't also an overt "Christian".

Complex problems are rarely fixed with simple solutions.
Conservative activists have spent decades on this issue.
It may take decades of dedicated effort to have any effect.

The Millennial Generation has now had its decisive event.

Ho - Lee - F*#%!

Alito's assertions were undercut by a concurrence by Thomas, who explicitly called for the court to reconsider its rulings striking down state restrictions on contraceptives, state sodomy bans and state prohibitions on same-sex marriage.

Because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous, Thomas wrote, we have a duty to correct the error established in those precedents.

Did something just happen?

I felt a disturbance in the Force about an hour ago.

Evil doesn't care about the Means.
It only seeks to achieve the Ends.

And, if truly Evil, has an Ends that is unbound from any moral foundation.

I wonder how many generations will it take before the word "Patriot" stops meaning "bat shit crazy insurrectionist supporter"?

I rode one in the 70's. Somewhere in either Connecticut or Massachusetts.
I still remember how sick it made me feel.
