In several states, Planned Parenthood is the only place that will perform an abortion. And abortion is a medical procedure that is guaranteed as a constitutional right.

Alkydere posted:If the GOP primaries weren't so bat-poo poo insane, forcing candidates to take positions that are so toxic to the general he'd be a viable candidate. if they can't find a way to give Rubio the nom it'll go to Cruz. Trump isn't getting it no matter what. and if Cruz runs vs Hillary he'll get stomped in a 64 or 72 or 84 style landslide. if Cruz gets it i don't think there will be any room to run 3rd party for Trump. if, however, they manage by some miracle to get Rubio's numbers up enough to give it to him there's a decent chance Trump will go third party, especially depending on how shady the nomination is. so of 3 possible scenarios, Hillary vs Rubio vs Trump, Hillary vs Cruz, and Hillary vs Rubio, 2 of 3 are catastrophic failures for the Republicans that will provide historic levels of entertainment

I think the problem now is that with Superpacs more fully formed now than before candidates that before were dropping out by this point are kept alive by super pac money so we'll get this weird divisiveness all through out the primary season. Like Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz will still be in this because their super pac.

HUGE PUBES A PLUS posted:Otherwise, abortion is never mentioned in the bible. There is one section of the bible outlining a ceremony to be performed by a priest if a husband suspects his pregnant wife had sex with someone else. A potion is prepared that she must drink. If she miscarries it is proof of infidelity, if not proof that she was faithful. So the magic bible potion only aborts babies conceived out of wedlock. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+5%3A11-31 In short the bible does mention abortion and is cool with it so long as a husband and a priest are choosing it rather than the woman herself.

Mr Interweb posted:There has to be some special rules or something involved in the debates Cruz was involved with in college, cause I've seen the guy for the past 3 years and he comes off as one of the most incompetent, high profile politicians I've seen. I've said it before, but the guy can't even pull of the pseudo intellectual facade that you could get from Paul Ryan or Newt Gingrich. His arguments always come down to the most facile things like "constitution" and "Jesus". Look at how he does against Chris Matthews: college debate : national politics :: figure skating : hockey Perhaps Ted Cruz can pull the speaking equivalent of a Triple Axel on the debate stage but every time he tries it in the Senate he gets wrecked by a body check from Reid and/or McConnell.

I think the Jewish law/ Religious text has a specific verse that states its okay to cut up a baby in the womb if it endangers the womans life. Christianity being pretty much on Judaism part 2 : Return of the Messiah. Jesus Christ specifically tells the Jews that he has not come to over turn their laws and prophets that would be the argument for abortion in Christianity. So yeah, you could say that Christianity allows some abortions. Actually , if I remember it's like required to have a abortion if the woman's life is in danger. Wonder what Rubio would say about that. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Nov 30, 2015 |

mlmp08 posted:Holy water and dust? A weak potion. Yep, probably a good way to settle a jealous hubby down. God says your wife wasn't sleeping with the mailman, you can relax now. However, the entire charade would be based on the belief that the pregnancy would be divinely aborted if she'd been cheating on him. A God that didn't respect choice would not use such a deception given that premise. Edit: Hell, a God that didn't respect choice wouldn't create plants with the same active ingredient as the abortion pill and plant them all over the world ... And yet rue, hellebore, sysphium, etc ... Created by God for a rather obvious purpose. McAlister fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Nov 30, 2015 |

In the race at the current time, to be "relevant" you only need to pull like a 3%. It's a crazy good Republican primary to be a minimal spend hanger on, at least til we hit super Tuesday.
