@Y0Y0778 @sgruber91 Nope. You can't "force" something that will happen anyway without intervention. It is the natural ending of the reproduction process. It is the effect of becoming pregnant. How about I fix the babies being killed, and you fix the foster system?

@sslight9 @sgruber91 Banning abortion forces birth by removing choice...'natural' is a weak dodge. Charities help some, but they do not fix our broken foster system or expensive adoption. If pro life organizations truly supported women and children postbirth, those problems would not persist.

When pro-lifers say they want to end abortion, what does that mean? Naturally, that has always meant we want to make abortion illegal. We want unborn baby humans to be given legal protection, for their right to life to be restored. Thus far, every anti-abortion advocate agrees with my 3 sentences. But what does it mean for someone to have a right to life? What does it mean to have legal protection against being murdered? I learned that answer as an elementary homeschooler. Our government was instituted to recognize and protect the RIGHT to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So you don’t have a right to life in the legal sense, unless that government that was instituted to protect the right to life actually protects it. And how does our government protect our right to life? By prosecuting those who seek to abuse it or who actually destroy it. It’s no different than parenting really. We can declare what is right and wrong to our children. But if your 6-year old doesn’t experience consequences for punching his sister, he will learn that punching his sister is something he can continue doing and getting away with. Today in 2026, over 60% of the murdered babies are killed almost exclusively by their mother through abortion pills delivered to her mailbox. And this number is rising quickly! She takes the poison to end the life of her baby, and she delivers the corpse on the toilet and flushes that small child down our sewage system. And this is happening in very large numbers in red states with Republican supermajorities because Rhinos often acting at the behest of pro-life organizations have insisted that murdering babies in “pro-life” states should be a crime for everyone except the aborting mother. And that idea has been codified in red states who celebrate their “pro-life” bonafides. As long as we continue to pass laws in red states that declare it’s a crime to kill unborn babies but the aborting mother can kill her unborn baby by herself with legal immunity and impunity - we will never end abortion. You cannot dismantle a culture of death by legitimizing the very laws that created it. And my position - that it should be illegal for everyone to murder anyone - is not new. By the time of ratification, nearly every state had criminal legislation proscribing abortion. Twenty-three states and six territories referred to the fetus as a "child" in their anti-abortion statutes. Twenty-eight jurisdictions classified abortion as an "offense against the person." Nine ratifying states provided the same range of punishment for killing the preborn child as for killing the mother. Ten states classified abortion as manslaughter, assault with intent to murder, or murder. The Ohio legislature that ratified the Fourteenth Amendment in January 1867 passed legislation criminalizing abortion at all stages just months later — its committee declaring abortion "at any stage of existence" to be "child-murder." Senator Jacob Howard, who sponsored the Amendment, declared its purpose to "disable a state from depriving not merely a citizen of the United States, but any person, whoever he may be, of life, liberty and property without due process." Representative Thaddeus Stevens called it "a superstructure of perfect equality of every human being before the law." Justice Blackmun acknowledged in Roe v. Wade that if "personhood is established," the case for abortion "collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [Fourteenth] Amendment." Just as the First Amendment protects speech technologies that did not exist in 1791, and the Second Amendment protects arms that did not exist in the 18th century, "person" protects every member of the human species — including those whose membership in the human family is now confirmed by modern science beyond any doubt the framers could have imagined. This isn’t about “criminalizing women” or whatever other phrases are used to dishonestly describe my position. This is about restoring full legal protection to little babies, whose metaphysical right to life currently has no political application in any state in America. The tragedy in all of this is that many pro-life organizations in various red states are actively working against people and organizations attempting to restore full legal protections to little unborn humans. These pro-life organizations fundraise on “ending abortion” and then join the ACLU and Planned Parenthood in fighting against those who are trying to codify the little baby’s right to life; by ensuring that our government that was instituted to protect the right to life will actually do so once again with the most vulnerable members of the human family! To declare that precious unborn babies have a right to life but actively oppose and work against the political realization of that right to life is either deceptive, hypocritical, cowardly, or horrifically ignorant. This is neither complicated nor controversial. It’s worth adding that my position is in line with roughly 1,900 years of Christendom going all the way back to the patristics. If their cultural milieu of child-abandonment and infanticide was not a good excuse to give parents wholesale legal immunity to kill their babies, then neither is our cultural milieu. To quote Aristotle, “statecraft is soulcraft.”

When you want to snort cocaine. When you want to rent it out for sex. When you want to sell an organ. Recently, when you don't want to take a vaccine. That's quite a jump to someone else being able to use your body without permission. Of course her rights are "established" because she is human. But so is the child. Length of existence doesn't matter.

@sslight9 @sgruber91 When do I not have complete rights over my own body, if I haven't broken a law and had rights revoked? I can use your body without permission? I didn't say important. Her rights are established.

@Y0Y0778 @sgruber91 We don't "force" anything. The birth will happen naturally. No one ghosts the kid. That is a talking-point without substance. All pro-life organizations support women AND children. Who opposes fixing the adoption process?

@sslight9 @sgruber91 Still the strawman. I never said you want to kill born babies. The point is you fight to force the birth then your side ghosts the kid. Broken foster care and insane adoption costs prove it isn’t really about ‘life’ after birth. ‘Fix it’ means nothing without actual support.

@FLvetAF76 @sgruber91 Well. that's not true. People never have COMPLETE rights over their body. Just because someone exists first doesn't mean their rights are more important.

@sslight9 @sgruber91 A woman has complete rights over her own body before a fetus ever exists. If you are saying a fetus gets to use her body against her will - you are trampling her rights. If you think you can use the body of another because you have a right to life, that's a slope you wont like

To make it go against our notion of a right-to-life, you have to show that we are okay with killing babies after they are born. Otherwise, it is not at ALL like wanting unborn babies not to be killed. YOURS is the perfect example of a strawman. I agree, fix the foster system. Stop pretending you know what I care about.

@sslight9 @sgruber91 what a pathetic strawman. I never said you want to kill newborns. I said your side stops giving a single shit the second the kid is born. Fix the foster system and adoption costs or stop pretending you care about “life.”

@FLvetAF76 @sgruber91 Why do you think a fetus "trumps" another person's rights. A child doesn't own the house. So?

@sgruber91 The rights of a fetus do not and should not trump the preexisting rights of the female it's inside of. The fetus does not own the womb.

So you are saying that we don't believe that newborns don't have that same right to life? Show me one example where we say it is okay to kill a child at ANY stage of development. Pro-lifers aren't in-charge of the government beauracracy around adoption. People who are not pro-life don't get to define what pro-life means or what we should do.

@sgruber91 Republicans dont give a shit after the child is born so whats more immoral? We make adoption way too hard and expensive for families. Our foster care is an absolute joke. If youre really pro life, focus on the little ones that you dont care about first

@IsaacHayes3 LBJ reluctantly (and finally) signed the civil rights act passed by all Republicans, and a few Democrats.

What Nick Cannon said is exactly how misinformation spreads. Yes, the KKK was tied to Southern Democrats in the 1800s. That part is true. But leaving out what happened next changes the entire meaning. In the 1960s, after Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the racists who supported segregation did not just disappear… They left the Democratic Party and shifted politically. That is a huge part of the story that keeps getting left out. AND THAT MATTERS. Because when we, especially Black voices with big platforms, repeat half stories, it does not just stay a conversation. It spreads and it can be used against us. We cannot afford to be loud and wrong at the same time, especially right now.

@TheDemocrats Says the politicians that have been in power over 30 years about a person who has been in office 5 years.

NO KINGS IN AMERICA.

@RubenNorseman @jason_meister

Imagine supporting a person who lies, sucks up to dictators, has ruined America's global image, separated migrant families, raised prices, has withdrawn from president Obama’s nuclear deal and later attacked and bombed Iran because his own withdrawal from the agreement meant they upped their enrichment of Uranium, bombed seven other countries in one year, pulled troops out of all the wrong places and abandoned allies, bitched about not being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, was impeached twice and only got off because of spineless GOP lickspittles, lost millions of jobs, damaged democracy with his election lies, released armed paramilitary goons who indiscriminately attack, detain, and even kill innocent people, golfs incessantly, mishandled natural disasters, ignores climate change, mocked the disabled, threatened to attack the territory of a loyal ally, claimed windmills cause cancer, slept through numerous meetings, lied about his health, rolled back environmental protection regulations, caused the longest government shutdown in history, caused the gap between rich and poor to grow, attacked a sovereign nation and abducted their leader, caused consumer confidence to plummet, didn't lower prescription costs, made health care less accessible, sold sneakers, watches, bibles, and trading cards, abandoned veterans, cheats at golf, didn't stop North Korea's nuclear program, withdrew the U.S. from the U.N. human rights council, refused to accept U.S. intelligence and stood by Saudi Arabia after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, founded The Board of Peace which did nothing but line his pockets with billions of dollars, stood on the global stage and sided with Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies, revealed highly classified information to Russian officials in the Oval Office, altered a weather map, fired FBI Director Comey, admitting shortly afterward that he did so because of the Russia investigation, lied about Sharpies and Toyotas, was personally implicated in a hush-money scheme to silence two women who alleged they'd had affairs with him, violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause, is a convicted felon, attacks the free press, undermines trust in elections, his tariffs cost the average American a small fortune, he didn’t stop his followers from attacking the US Capitol on Jan 6, uses executive power for personal benefit, is a ridiculously bad dancer, plays golf while dead service members arrive home, lied about his mental acuity, released 5,000 Talibanis, bungled the Covid response, added trillions to the deficit, failed to provide a health plan, never released his tax returns, actively prevents the release of the Epstein files, was credibly accused of sexually assaulting numerous women and young adults, promotes racism and hate, illegally took troves of highly classified documents with him when he left office, tried to overturn an election he clearly lost, and last, but not least, is uneducated, unempathetic, unintelligent, unkind, unable to accept his own numerous shortcomings, uncivilized, uninteresting, uninterested, unfunny, deeply incompetent, and completely and utterly unfit for office. Dang, that's sad.

Imagine throwing a “No Kings” protest after your party refused to hold a primary, coronated Kamala without a single vote, sued to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot, and attempted to remove Trump from state ballots only after your illegal lawfare scheme failed. If there was a modern day monarchy in America there would only be one party you could point to. The Democrats.

@jason_meister More like the "No Fathers" protest.

@robertgraham @RadioFreeTom Hardly. Didn't he give billions to Iran? And pushed for socialized medicine? He should ask George where in the constitution THAT power is.

@sslight9 @RadioFreeTom Obama defended our western democratic principles, better than almost any other president.

Donald Trump was everything Washington feared and despised could happen to the American presidency. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@nettermike @TerryCornelius7 So...banning men from women's sports.

She was elected to lead the Olympics as its first female president. Her first major decision: ban transgender women from women's events. Kirsty Coventry, a two time Olympic gold medalist in swimming from Zimbabwe, became the first woman to lead the International Olympic Committee in its 132 year history when she was elected president in June 2025. One of her first major decisions was launching a review of female category protections in Olympic sport. On March 26, 2026, the IOC Executive Board approved a 10 page policy banning transgender women from all female events at the Olympics starting with the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Eligibility is now limited to biological females verified by a one time SRY gene screening. Athletes who test negative are permanently eligible. The policy also restricts most athletes with differences in sex development, including two time Olympic champion Caster Semenya. Coventry said the policy protects fairness, safety, and integrity, adding that "even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat."

@blkgunsmattr The police academy and Army basic training.

Who taught you about guns?...A parent, friend, mentor, or yourself?

@KCStar Seems kinda gay.

@LizzieMarbach @michaeljknowles Which scripture is that?

@michaeljknowles I agree with scripture that tells us Joseph slept with his wife after Jesus was born and that Jesus had siblings! 😏

When it comes to the perpetual virginity of Mary, do you agree with the Catholic view or with the view of Protestant reformers Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Wesley?

@AOC @BigFish3000 You're not in the Senate, dumbass.

@BigFish3000 Nice try. I took the Amtrak home. We tried to pay TSA almost a dozen times and Republicans said no every time. Then the GOP Speaker closed session last night and sent everyone home. Please Google what party is in charge of Congress right now. The answer may surprise you!

AOC and Bernie Sanders will not pay TSA agents but fly first class on tax payers dollars. Agents make around 45,000 a year.

@CoryBooker If she got a DL in her new name, she had to have had the same documentation she would need for the SAVE act. Even if she couldn't find it, and is obviously too dumb to order a new one, she is rich enough to pay someone to order one for her.

The SAVE Act would make it harder for you to vote this November.

@SSCJoCoKs Of course they do. They just don't kill babies, that's why you all don't like them.

Consideration of HB 2635: Crisis pregnancy centers OVERRIDDEN. I voted NO. These centers do not provide women in need with the dignity or respect that they deserve. #ksleg
