Rall: Five Men Have the Right to ChooseTed Rall posted:Recent nominees to the Supreme Court of United States, Republicans appointed by former President Donald Trump, told the United States Senate during their confirmation hearings that they considered the landmark 1973 abortion decision Roe v. Wade to be “settled law.” But a leaked draft decision indicating that the conservative majority plans to overturn that decision belies their statements. The fix has been in for years, and desperate women will pay the price. First Dog on the Moon: This is sparked by the second televised leaders debate last night which the hosting station managed to make the worst debate in Australian political history - the editor of the Guardian called it "a genuine poo poo blizzard" - and yet a perfect distilled encapsulation of the campaign from both politicians and media.

Raised By Birds posted:Tom Stiglich I had to remember what side Stiglich falls into, because I would say a "no bully zone" outside of the supreme court is as bad a metaphor as changing the motto above the door to "MAGA", like Bennet did a few days ago. Do I feel bad for the victimized most powerful court in the land, or do I think they're pathetic in trying to avoid even the slightest blowback for a massively unpopular ruling?

I AM GRANDO posted:Is that comic not a joke? I thought the second panel was acknowledging the absurdity of the first one. I cut out a bunch of panels. It was all special pleading about how the man has final authority but they are still equals and no that is somehow not a contradiction. The strategy is to bury the argument under an avalanche of , and then act smugly like you won in the end as a way of pretending your not arguing that two mutually exclusive things are simultaneously true. War is peace and unconditional submission to your husband is the real empowerment. Back in 2012 Bachman tried to make the same argument that she could be the final decision maker while still showing unconditionally deference to her husband.

Remember that Ishida got really mad about surrogate pregnancies in his past strips and equated it to prostitution so given that his point of view seems to be "Having children is the most important thing women can do" he's absolutely in favor of Roe being overturned.

If abortion (and contraception and pregnancy tests) had been as available in 1bc as it is in, say, Denmark today, Jesus presumably wouldn't have been born though.

I AM GRANDO posted:Is that comic not a joke? I thought the second panel was acknowledging the absurdity of the first one. It is absolutely genuine. I dunno if the website is still up (Adam 4d comics), but it's a whole series of "Christian" The Oatmeal ripoffs and they're pretty much all blatantly contradictory claims coated in a jillion words because that's how stupid people believe a compelling argument works. Another comic that was a hot contender back when it came out in this one: If the stupid blurb at the bottom didn't make it clear, he expects you to read that and conclude that the person who opposes bigotry is the intolerant one, while the person who openly harasses gay people and opposes civil rights is tolerant and inclusive, because she is the one who says "Jesus loves sinners" and actual deeds do not matter. He is also the founder of the Babylon Bee, a garbage knockoff of The Onion, which he then sold to a guy who uses it exclusively to post transphobic ad libs, which he'll gladly tell you is good and Christian.

Clearly the woman voting to interfere with and prohibit the existence or practice of something she does not necessarily like or agree with (homosexual marriage) is the intolerant one then, easy E: ah goddamnit it VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 23:35 on May 9, 2022 |

They're both intolerant but the blonde one is merely being an annoying r/atheism sort while the brunette is mouthing the usual rigamarole used by homophobic right-wingers about "loving the sinner and hating the sin".

Also the one who doesn't think people should not be allowed to be gay is a loving liar and actually does want to ban gay marriage and bring back sodomy laws.

She specifies homophobic Christianity. At no point does she say she has any issues with Christianity or religion in general or opposes the practice thereof, only specifically using religion as a cover for bigotry. The wording is a bit dramatic because she's clearly meant to be a DASGDC straw person, but in spite of that, her views are entirely reasonabe.

There are a lot of cartoons about the second debate and how bad it was. Pope: Rowe: Knight: Lethbridge: Warren Brown: Sophie Scamps is an independent running for the seat of Mackellar. I can't find what story Brown is going on about here but again they are really worried about the potential success of the teal independents. Wilcox: The "groupies" comment was from John Howard about the teal independents. Spooner:

That cartoon is fascinating in like three ways. 1) Of course he has to create an insane strawman for the pro-gay side who actually wants to ban Christianity and persecute Christians instead of just, like making them leave gay people alone, because if he portrayed her honestly it would be obvious the bigot is him 2) Saying "man I can't interact with gay people unless I'm telling them to stop being so drat gay all the time" is ""loving"" gay people, but any criticism of this must be motivated by hating Christians for who they are which is such a leap that his comic can't work unless he actually has the person say "oh and I hate Christians personally and am bigoted against them because I am evil and intolerant". 3) Even for purposes of lying in a comic about his position and everyone else's, he still can't bring himself to even leave out how much he loves voting to prohibit gay people to marry who they want, which fits his own definition of intolerance to a T, completely obliterating his own argument he's spending so many words to prop up What a mess

At no point does she say she has any issues with Christianity or religion in general or opposes the practice thereof, only specifically using religion as a cover for bigotry. I think it's supposed to be implied that she thinks Christianity is inherently homophobic, either that or he's strawmanning his own strawman in the answer key where he says "she dislikes Christian people and flings insults and accusations against them" Which is totally different from telling gay people they're all going to hell unless they stop being so gay, not insulting or accusatory at all because see gay people are going to hell and they need to be told to stop being so loving gay!

Oh that's obviously how he wants you to read it, doubly so with the follow-up strip, but that's not what she's saying. He also wants you to read "I tell gay people I love them as I harass them and vote against their civil rights" as an expression of compassion and inclusiveness, so I don't think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

N.B. It is possible to hate the sin and love the sinner, but the people who actually do that don't go out of the way to call attention to how tolerant they are at every opportunity.

Stultus Maximus posted:He’s saying that men are only pro choice for pragmatic reasons. Yeah I know but unless you're talking to a dude who hates getting laid that sounds like a good argument to be pro-choice Like maybe not the most moral selfless argument, but still "hey this is in your self-interest" is persuasive Vib Rib posted:He's also saying all men who support women in stuff like this are pathetic manbaby losers no one would want as a father for their children. I suppose he could be appealing to vanity: "I don't need legal abortion to get laid because I'm so studly women will crave my seed for her babymaker" or whatever but wait let's think this through, is that what guys want, hookups with women who don't care if you get them pregnant and would never abort if you did? Because that does not sound like what guys want unless they love writing multiple child support checks every month. Unless he's talking only to guys who are saving themselves for marriage.
