No, that is not what I am saying. I am speaking for the "right to life people", to them; the pro-abortion people might as well be the savage Comanche torturing and murdering babies. I have asked my wife; she sees no different between abortionist and Nazis the only difference is the abortionist have smaller death camps.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 10:35 amNot only evading but making up stuff. "A joke in three days" = a war that went on for over a year. "The army rounded up and shot all of their horses" = the battle of Palo Duro, where a small segment of the Plains Indians were in camp and (indeed) lost over a thousand of their horses which (indeed) were shot to prevent recapture. Of more significance was the realization that destroying the buffalo = destroying the Plains Indians.Bicycle Bill wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 7:54 amYou're evading the question, asshole.liberty wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 7:42 amWar is a bitch. The US army struck the final blow, and even some of the soldiers felt sorry for them. The army crushed them. The Comanches went from the lords of the plains to a joke in three days when the army rounded up and shot all of their horses. The Comanches had to walk to Oklahoma; in Comanche culture, only women walked.
And of course the Comanche (and Kiowa) signed agreements to move to reservation in Oklahoma in both 1865 and 1867 but the government just couldn't get it together to make it happen - damn settlers! What is one to do? Smallpox and cholera had reduced tribes to 7,000 survivors or so before the final clearances began.
And what does any of this have to do with the matter at hand? Are you suggesting lib that pregnant women in Texas are the new Plains Indians and somehow "deserve" to be subjugated by tough white men?
Not only do I hope they close it, but that they then lock it, brick it up, plaster over it, and repaper the wall so that no one even knows it was ever there.

This law applies to the aborting of an embryo after around 6 weeks gestation, tissue less than a quarter inch in length with no heel to be seized or head for the Comanche to smash on the stones. If your wife equates aborting an early embryo with the holocaust, she's entitled to her opinion, but she has no right to force it upon others (anymore than anyone would have a right to force her to get an abortion). If she (or you or anyone else) are outraged by the fact that abortions are ongoing, too damn bad--the world does not exist to fit your views.
But even more, what will you do when another state creates a similar power for people to file suits and harass gun owners (or people who exercise free speech or any other individual right) and/or their aiders/abettors. This law is indefensible and a danger to all individual rights as the door has been opened. Hopefully, the courts will close it, but I am concerned that that may not.

No, he was a basketball coach who punched - once - a highly intoxicated man who was acting like an entitled asshole and who had just busted his car window - a little bit more than an insult.liberty wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:52 pmAnd then there is the giant football coach the chases down and kills a drunk white guy because the coach was insulted. The drunken man is dead, and the black football coach never served a day in jail. In both cases, they could have called the police but wanted to issue the punishment themselves. Now, all of you, tell me again how are opposed to vigilantes.
sourceJustice Dept. sues Texas over state's new abortion law
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday sued Texas over a new state law that bans most abortions, arguing that it was enacted “in open defiance of the Constitution."
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Texas, asks a federal judge to declare that the law is invalid, “to enjoin its enforcement, and to protect the rights that Texas has violated.”
“The act is clearly unconstitutional under long-standing Supreme Court precedent,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said at a news conference announcing the suit.
The Justice Department argues the law unlawfully infringes on the constitutional rights of women and violates the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, which says federal law supersedes state law. Federal officials are also concerned other states could enact similar laws that would “deprive their citizens of their constitutional rights," he said.
“It is settled constitutional law that ‘a State may not prohibit any woman from making the ultimate decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability,’” the lawsuit reads. “But Texas has done just that.”
The Texas law, known as SB8, prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity — usually around six weeks, before some women know they’re pregnant. Courts have blocked other states from imposing similar restrictions, but Texas’ law differs significantly because it leaves enforcement to private citizens through civil lawsuits instead of criminal prosecutors.
Pressure had been mounting on the Justice Department not only from the White House – President Joe Biden has said the law is “almost un-American” – but also from Democrats in Congress, who wanted Garland to take action. Earlier this week, Garland vowed the Justice Department would step in to enforce a federal law known as the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
That law, commonly known as the FACE Act, normally prohibits physically obstructing access to abortion clinics by blocking entrances or threatening to use force to intimidate or interfere with someone. It also prohibits damaging property at abortion clinics and other reproductive health centers.
The lawsuit filed on Thursday seeks an immediate injunction to prohibit enforcing the law in Texas. Under the statute, someone could bring a lawsuit — even if they have no connection to the woman getting an abortion — and could be entitled to at least $10,000 in damages if they prevail in court.
“The statute deputizes all private citizens, without any showing of personal connection or injury, to serve as bounty hunters authorized to recover at least $10,000 per claim from individuals who facilitate a woman’s exercise of her constitutional rights,” Garland said. “The obvious and expressly acknowledged intention of this statutory scheme is to prevent women from exercising their constitutional rights by thwarting judicial review.”
The attorney general also argued the Texas law could expose some federal employees at different agencies across the government to civil liability for doing their jobs.
The Texas law is the nation’s biggest curb to abortion since the Supreme Court affirmed in the landmark 1973 decision Roe v. Wade that women have a constitutional right to an abortion.
Abortion providers have said they will comply, but already some of Texas’ roughly two dozen abortion clinics have temporarily stopped offering abortion services altogether. Clinics in neighboring states, meanwhile, have seen a surge in patients from Texas.
Texas Right to Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion group and a driver of the new law, said Thursday in anticipation of the lawsuit that it was already working with other states to pass similar measures.
“The Biden administration’s ploy represents a desperate attempt to stop the life-saving law by any means necessary,” the group said in a statement.
Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, said his office was confident the courts would uphold the law.
“The most precious freedom is life itself. Texas passed a law that ensures that the life of every child with a heartbeat will be spared from the ravages of abortion,” Eze said. [IMO, the only thing the law ensures is potential "illegal" abortions along with the likelihood that Texans who want abortions will go to another state or maybe even to Mexico
The law provides no exceptions in cases of rape or incest, which Abbott on Tuesday defended by falsely asserting that women still have “at least six weeks” to get an abortion. A woman who has regular periods and is carefully tracking her cycle could know of a positive result no earlier than about four weeks into a pregnancy.
Abbott also said Texas would strive to “eliminate all rapists from the streets.” Recent surveys by the U.S. Department of Justice found that most rapes go unreported to police, including a 2019 survey that found that only about 1 in 3 victims reported they were raped or sexually assaulted.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing Texas abortion clinics suing over the law, welcomed the Biden administration stepping in.
“It’s a game changer that the Department of Justice has joined the legal battle to restore constitutionally protected abortion access in Texas and disarm vigilantes looking to collect their bounties,” said Nancy Northup, the group’s president.
So what did she admit you were "right" about? Was it:We disagreed on abortion, and it almost destroyed our marriage. Years later, she admitted I was right; I genuinely wish I had been wrong, but we don’t always get what we want. However, she is still just as anti-abortion as she has always been.
