Single issue voter? I guess. Supreme court nominations are really the only permanent legacy a president has. It's a rather important issue.SuperJail Warden wrote:

I doubt R v W would ever be overturned, given SCOTUS' broad reading of equal protection clauses.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Be nice if the Republicans would fight for men to have a voice in the matter instead of trying to fight to make abortion illegal.
Trying to remove bullshit such as a woman aborting the baby without the father even knowing of the pregnancy is an easier battle to win.

That last part is a bit hard, medical privacy and all. There are a lot of issues involved especially when there are issues of domestic violence.War Man wrote:

And what happens when sadistic assholes force the woman to carry it to term and then abandon it? It's easy for someone who hasn't seen how badly pregnancy messes up the woman's body to say that someone else should decide that she must carry to term. The reality is that it always has to be the woman's decision. If the father really wants the child he needs to put a ring on her finger and commit to the long haul.War Man wrote:

Yes, exactly.Cybargs wrote:
If the woman wants to abort, there are serious issues within the relationship in the first place.

is that really true? i think plenty of human beings have relationships without necessarily wanting the life-long commitment of a kid. the pregnancy comes along as a mistake and there are ways to deal with mistakes that don't have life-long consequences implying 21 years of commitment to the person you just done goofed with. if i was with a girl, unmarried, for anything up to the first 5 years of a stable relationship... i would want to abort more than i would want to keep it. that just seems sensible to me, not like the relationship is 'fundamentally flawed'.
do you guys always hook up with girls or take them as girlfriends intending to have 2.4 children and a patch of alfalfa?

Obviously when both parties want to abort there's no issue. But if the male is insistent on keeping the child yet the woman doesn't, I would generally say there are 'issues'.uziq wrote:

A man should not be able to force a woman to go through with a pregnancy, except muslims, if they're muslims its OK.
Fuck Israel
I don't think there is an arbitrary cutoff time where a woman could/should write off the pregnancy. It's all relative based on age, stability etc. When you're 22? Yeah, sure. When you're 30? Not so much. Every situation is unique.uziq wrote:

I think we all know that guy that views sex as a sport and racks up his number just to say he did it. That's the kind of guy I had in mind when I said the guy shouldn't have a say in whether or not an abortion occurs. To that type of guy it's just another ego boost knowing his genes are walking around somewhere. He's generally not the type of guy that will stick around and help raise a kid, but he is the type of guy that will fuck over the woman and force her to carry it just because his ego would be bruised otherwise.

Men should have no (legal) say in what a women wants to do with their pregnancy. What they should have is an option to opt out of all rights and responsibilities.
Nah. I think that would make society worse off and exacerbate the single parent crisis.DrunkFace wrote:

Alright here
1. The father has to be informed if the mother is pregnant. If the father is against abortion while the woman wants then he must agree to have the rights to the child and has to raise it himself.
2. If the woman wants to have the child but refuses to marry the father or at least have him involved, then the father has the right to opt out of out of all rights and responsibilities.
3. If the pregnancy was the result of rape or if there is a health risk to the mother for giving birth. #1 does not apply.
There we go, a more gender fair abortion act. I acknowledge that there are asshole men who want no part of the child but purposely want the child born for various reasons, but there are also honorable men(I like to consider myself one) who would accept the consequences of there actions and want to take part of the child's life. There are also women who want nothing to do with the father except receive money to take for themselves.
This here is the fairest thing I can think of that would work. Is it flawed? Yes, but better than our current laws that are entirely slanted in favor of women. Equal gender rights is a two-way street after all and we need to make progress towards it.

That's an overly complicated system to address a non-issue. It would just result in a more stressed legal system and more kids not receiving financial support. I really don't care if men feel like they are being treated unfairly.
How is this "more fair," Warman? Am I reading this wrong, or do you mean to imply by your first point that men should have a veto option in a woman's decision?
Sounds fair warman, a man can put his dick in some women for 10seconds and then legally force her to go through potentially 9 months of hell and permanently change her body and lifestyle.
Marriage is a completely different issue to pregnancy and parenting and you don't refuse to get married, you agree to. Maybe it's just your poor choice of words, but holy shit you make it sound draconian.
Refuses?? You honestly believe you have any right to marry a women they have any obligation to get married because of a pregnancy?2.

Women do lie, deceive, get themselves pregnant when they say they have no intention of doing so - its in their nature and they can't help it.
Fuck Israel
warman you aren't allowed to have an opinion on sex until you have sex, with a woman, who isn't your mother.
men lie and deceive too - let's not pretend women hold a monopoly on chicanery

Back to the election.
A lot of people will hear the story this woman is spinning is and believe it to be truthful. Can someone explain why? Are Trump voters just genuinely stupid?Donald Trump’s spokeswoman blamed the policies of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the death of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, despite the fact that Khan died in 2004.
“It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life,” spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said in an interview Tuesday with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer.
Khan died during the presidency of George W. Bush, while Obama was a state senator in Illinois.

Trump voters don't trust the "mainstream media" and won't see the other side of it. I'm frankly tired of the incessant "look how awful trump is today!" articles myself and I'm not even voting for the guy.SuperJail Warden wrote:
