GOP insanity spinoff: UP interviews lagtight

Well, according to the above study, he will, and will then double down on why he is right.

Thanks for sharing the opinion piece, MrWookie.

Not sure what to make of it since as far as I could tell there is nothing factually verifiable anywhere in the article (What hospital? Who were the ER doctors? Is there a medical report that can be shared?)*

Having said that, it would seem that the Texas law is apparently poorly written and fails to take into the account the health and well-being of the mother.**

*Which I suspect is why the article is in the “My Turn” section of Newsweek.

**Full Disclosure: I haven’t read the law, and I probably wouldn’t understand it even if I did read it.

Eye witness testimonials from named sources are not “opinion pieces.” Furthermore, we know for a fact that this woman’s suffering is the intended outcome of the Texas law:

A federal appeals court ruled that emergency rooms in Texas aren’t required to perform life-saving care, including abortions.

The state of Texas was the plaintiff in that case arguing that their law should supercede EMTALA.

So, no, you are once again dead wrong. This wasn’t a case of “poor wording,” unless you mean that the wording of the law that gives a fig leaf of regard for the lives of women should be struck from the law, because that text isn’t honored in practice. This kind of suffering happening to women, even ones trying to give birth to healthy babies, is exactly the intent of your pro-life side.

Hey @lagtight , you still never answered my question:

Sucks that a movement that has been planning to ban abortion for over 60 years couldn’t get the wording right on a law and whose effect happens to nearly ban all abortions. Oh well hope they do better next time.

Kinda like how putting up a rainbow flag is saying “I’M A PERVERT”?

Sorry I ignored/missed your question.

My answer is that all manner of wickedness and perversion is becoming more and more not just tolerated, but celebrated. Some states are more inclined than others to take a stand against wickedness, so it makes sense (in my opinion) to approach abortion on a state-by-state basis unless/until there is a national consensus that make make a federal law more feasible.

See, now here is a rare thing. You posted something I think you genuinely believe. Congrats on your hate.

And yes, I mean hate, because you don’t get to hide behind “I love them so much I want them to just not be gay anymore!” bullshit. This is your position:

Conversion therapy can cause significant, long-term psychological harm.[2] This includes significantly higher rates of depression, substance abuse, and other mental health issues in individuals who have undergone conversion therapy than their peers who did not,[78][79] including a suicide attempt rate nearly twice that of those who did not.[80]

You support driving LGBTQ+ individuals to suicide. I don’t care if you feel like you don’t. That is literally what you are supporting.

I think in order to have a productive conversation it helps to use terms accepted by everyone. “Wicked” is a subjective term and therefore meaningless. You might consider removing a blastocyst consisting of no more cells than the brian of a fly as being wicked, but others might not. Especially if it endangers the life of the mother

Also, there already IS national consensus that women should have the right to bodily autonomy (see the 2022 election results). What you want is for government to become involved in regulating over a women’s body

You wanted an example of you being bigoted? Here ya go

I never asked you for an example of me posting something bigoted. I asked you for an example of me posting something racist.

Weird brag. Fwiw…

I never really understood this one so you’re going to need to explain it to me

Like there are plenty of things conservatives say that make sense. Why yes, Bill Clinton is an old perv. Nancy Pelosi is out of touch. Lots of liberals are hypocrites. But this whole “LGBT are perverts (or pedophiles)” thing I’ve never figured out.

Lag can respond if he wants, but Homosexuality itself is perverse seemed pretty clear to me.

They do the sex differently, therefore who knows what other crazy things they do in the bedroom. Only your imaginatiom can contain the perversion

Slippery slope to marrying dogs according to brainiacs like lagtight.

Right but I don’t get how. Surely there’s some sort of underlying attempt at logic if the Serious Conservatives believe it.

I thought I explained it pretty well. God only approves of PinV. He does not codone PinA

Does God double condone double vaginal and double not condone double anal?
