I'll try and give a serious answer, despite the tendency of most guys on the political threads to hurl insults and curse one another.
if you are pregnant and killed, the assumption is you wanted to carry the baby (notice I said "baby") to term, and you were therefore deprived of what would have occurred naturally, had a crime not intervened. if YOU kill your own baby (notice I said "baby"), it is deemed to be your right to decide when or if the life inside is properly defined as a living baby, worthy of protection apart from the mother herself.

Our society lives by a double standard. If a women can make a selfish decision to have a doctor perform an abortion which is killing a baby in the womb. People say a women has the right to do what she wishes with her body. But that same sentiment does not hold true when Dr. Kevorkian performed over a hundred assisted suicides. The patients gave their consent to Dr. Kevorkian to medically end their suffering from terminal illness. Dr. Kevorkian spent eight years in prison for assisting suicide.

As pointed out, this is a state Trump won by about 28 percentage point a little over a year ago. That's a 30% swing. Incredible! I'm sure everyone will have an opinion as to why Jones won and Moore lost. Republicans will tend to say it was solely because of the accusations of sexual misconduct against Moore. Democrats will tend to say it was solely a repudiation of Trump and his policies. Probably a little of both factored into it.

To state the obvious the republican president is not going to endorse the democrat candidate for a senate seat, of course he wanted another republican in the senate instead of a liberal democrat, I know as a conservative I did.
The real news is that gathering a troop to make decades old allegations against a candidate with no real evidence can win elections.

What makes you laugh can make you cry, the rules have changed.

AND I AGREE with the article.
