    This is ironic coming from a side that spent 3 years firing people for bodily choices.

    This is ironic from people who think a human with a heartbeat should have no bodily choice.

    This is ironic from the side that likes to tell everyone how to think.

    Women who have no choice (rape/health of mother etc) should have an abortion option.

    Those who took a riak of their own CHOICE and got pregnant, should not be allowed. Instead of pouring billions into Planned unParenthood, we should be funding services and nets to help those who made that choice.

    For 1, eliminate all the rediculous red tape in the adoption process. Took my sister 5 years to adopt her two, even though they lived with her everyday and the biological mom kept having more kids ànd couldnt stay out of jail, rehab etc.

    Abortion is the lazy solution for a society that won't put in the work.

    Abortion should be an emergency use option not a lazy easy one.

    I will ask you once again. If you are the king, what abortion laws will you institute?

    Actually, I see that you really did not answer my question. If a 10 year old girl gets impregnated by her sixth grade boyfriend, should she be able to get an abortion? If so, at what point during her pregnancy, should she no longer be able to get the abortion?

    Cure response counselor.

    That would be my response too if I supported the ripping apart of unborn humans.

    There’s not much to say about it. It’s one individuals opinion and it differs from how 98% of the rest of the medical community feels about his qualifications. Going against the grain in the face of all the evidence to the contrary is not smart science and does not make you some secret genius where the rest of the doctors and health organizations in this country are all wrong.

    There’s a reason in the medical community peer reviewed studies are a thing, and the majority of his peers who have read his work think the dude is a total quack. Combine that with his known association with America’s Frontline Doctors, who are 100% a shameful and awful organization full of grifters and nut jobs (see Stella Immanuel), and his rise to power as surgeon general in the state of Florida coinciding with the timeline during which Desantis was trying to score points with the anti-vaccine crowd, and it’s plain as day that his hiring was 100% politically motivated. I don’t know what else to tell you, lol.

    Is this righteous indignation?

    I'd save that for the posters tossing around Nazi references for those they disagree with.

    I'm just not gonna let Nazi references go unchecked from the crowd that doesnt value unborn human beings.

    It's actually pretty ironic and they dont even see it.

    Of Trump’s critics it was said that “they were driven mad by their hatred of him.” Just copy-paste ...

    This is how propaganda works. He was and is qualified. The letters of recommendation show this. Then the same people who knew and know Dr
    Ladapo is and was qualified gave into politics.

    Dr. Ladapo has followed a focused protection approach. The approach that would have been the correct approach from the beginning.

    Nazi is too strong in almost every circumstance, though MTG and Stephen Miller are certainly so inclined. No one on this board is, though some are definitely inclined toward a one party dictatorship.

    Science based on facts backed up by numerous studies and factual research is not propaganda. Pushing garbage like Plaquenil and Ivermectin is, however, propaganda. Lol.

    Yeah, as I figured. I just asked you what you thought about it. And I get insults in return. So I will ask again. What do you think about DeSantis's new anti-vax panel and his call for investigations into "criminal or wrongful activity in Florida” involving the “development, promotion and distribution" of covid vaccines? Do you agree with it? Do you think it's a good thing for a governor to do?

    Your position is largely emotional and based on your religious beliefs, which is fine, but I’m just as adamant that up to a point, it’s none of your business. There has been vigorous debate here when that point is. No minds have been changed as far as I can tell.

    I wish the debate would end.

    Thank you. That was what my OP was about, not abortion.

    Regarding abortion, a large majority of Americans are in favor of allowing the woman to choose what she wants to do. You are in the small minority. You're calling a large percentage of people in the US baby exterminators, so spare me your self-righteous indignation over my use of 'gestapo'.

    And do you actually think DeSantis is going to outlaw abortion in Florida? Or even impose a ban after a heartbeat is detectable? Bless your heart.

    Quite the change in tone on abortion from when you spent the summer talking about compromise and compassion for people who would have an abortion (even if that position was internally inconsistent, it certainly was quite a bit different than what you are presenting here- which is filled with the hyperbole you used to claim was harmful to the cause). It seems more like an attempt to dig in and defend decisions that a part of you know are wrong. Kind of like the tone you took at times in 2016 when people would push you on your Trump support.

    Personal insults because somebody asked you an uncomfortable question. You can be and should be better than this.

    We have. And this isn't "breathing." This is using the state to punish the opposition (in this case, the opposition is the scientists that devised the vaccine). You and I both know there is no cause of action for a state investigation here. But he is going to do it to attract the support of anti-vaxxers that you claim to oppose.

    And I would suggest that you know it is wrong, which is why you are deflecting like mad here.

    I have never exterminated anybody and I doubt any of the people you are discussing had either. This is the type of hyperbole you claim to be against.

    It sounds like you are worried about your moral high ground and lashing out to protect your sense of it.

    I;m glad you used the right words to describe what all politicians do. All of them pander.
