Kamala Harris is a far-left partisan hack

[TC Talks]

Worse than a hack and effectively wants a religious test for federal appointees, she opposed a federal judge due to his association with KofC:

And when she's elected, she will restore women's rights and get "Church" out of government.

she will restore women's rights

And which specific rights is it that women currently do not have that she will restore?

Well... in some states the right to bodily autonomy. A national law that restores that right would override the state laws due to the supremacy clause.

Setting aside the discussion over whether that is a "right" (The Supreme Court has found that it is not), how exactly is she going to pull that one off? I'm not saying she won't try, But TC Talks says she'll be successful.

She would need both houses of congress... not impossible if polling is to be believed. The Supreme Court overturning itself does not preclude congress from extending that right under law.

This!

See RT for further debate on this matter.

Well, TC did say "rights" (plural). Is abortion the only "right" you're referring to?

Well.. LGBTQ rights would be another right off the top of my head. The GOP has become the party of “hi I’m from the government and I’m here to approve or disapprove of your lifestyle”.

Attacking the right to a free press, the right to peacefully assemble and the right to free speech would be others. Restricting the right to vote is another.

Basically the Republicans are exactly what they accuse the Democrats of being. They do that as a deflection and a projection. They trumpet “freedom!” and could give a damn less unless it’s for their preferred groups or supporters.

As a grandparent who has a grandchild transitioning the GOP shutting down the right for this to happen is wrong. They need to stay out of parenting period.

I have no issue with adults doing whatever they want to their bodies. Care to share how old your grandchild was when they decided to transition?
Do you feel an age of consent should be set?
If so, what do you feel that age should be?
And Motor City Freak please feel free to weigh in on the last 2 questions.

I’m gonna chime in that it sounds like a decision between the kid, the parents and a medical professional. What a congressman is doing trying to be in that equation I haven’t a clue.

[zzand]

Exactly RT. And 17 years old. As for the age as long as parents and medical types are involved I say 16.

So I assume you're both against the online safety bill that just overwhelmingly passed the Senate today?

[zzand]

I just looked it up and while I agree that minors should seek professional help unless there is no parent in the picture then the government needs to stay out of it. In my grandchild's case they are seeing a mental health professional as part of their transition. That decision was made between the two parents, who are divorced and the child who will be 18 in five months. Sadly the other grandparents have turned their backs but the rest of the family is supportive as is the school they attend. I don't agree with every piece of legislation that is passed regardless of what party is behind it. I am guessing you were going to bring up the fact it was a Democrat piece of legislation. Most of the time I disagree with the majority of Democrat sponsored bills and some Republican sponsored bills.

Which bill are you referring to?

Under general circumstances I’m against laws like those in Virginia and Texas (?) that require me to scan my face or ID to verify my age if I want to look at porn. Laws like that are feel good and do absolutely nothing. It’s not their business who looks at it and “protecting the children” is a flimsy excuse. If they are looking at it or curious about it they are likely old enough to have started maturing into an adult. That should be a decision that’s up to parents. But kids will get curious about it and use Reddit or something. The things is that the folks who are really right wing and have their hands in Project 2025 have the goal of banning pornography entirely. If I want to look at naked women I will and they can fuck right off.

So “Internet safety” sounds like the kind of thing that’ll be going in that direction. If so then no thanks. Mayyyyybe if it’s chat rooms and what not I can see that. But website access in general… no. Stay out of it. I am a social libertarian by the way largely.
