    AP Abortion: Moral Responsibility

    Exactly the sort of detailed, well-thought out rebuttals that I've come to expect lol. They weren't. Abolition in America was tied to the Clapham Sect (Anglican, influential in early colonial history when the British ruled), Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage...

    AP Abortion: Moral Responsibility

    Historically illiterate. The abolition of slavery did not coincide with the secular, material views at the time, which fell down on the side of scientific racism, and later eugenics. Everyone wants to impose their views on society; that's what law IS. Some are just more honest about it than...

    AP Abortion: Moral Responsibility

    Society doesn't exist independent of the people which it comprises; it is an abstraction. You're putting the cart before the horse in order to justify mass murder. You say that there is no shortage of families in America, but how often do we hear that we have an aging population and birthrates...

    AP Abortion: Moral Responsibility

    Nonsense. Movements advocating everything from the abolition of slavery to prison reform on religious grounds have taken root in the US since its inception. The idea that religion is a purely private affair is a bizarre, thoroughly modern deformation of American tradition. You could apply this...

    AP Abortion: Moral Responsibility

    A duty to society should be abrogated if it contradicts a duty to God. Most of these are terrible outcomes. Some of them are not. A woman does not have an obligation to society to labor for the sake of a company's profit; she has an obligation to raise children well when she has them. If a job...

    AP Abortion: Moral Responsibility

    Morally, yes. Legally, no, as she's dead. Temporal power cannot breach that wall. I don't think that the question parses well in my larger moral framework; it's founded on liberal principles that Catholicism rejects. A Catholic can operate within a liberal society and follow liberal laws, but...

    WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange sentenced to 50 weeks in prison in bail-jumping case

    'Journalism' isn't an institution, it's an action. We hate the institution because they've taken the label but refuse to do what that label implies. 'The media' is largely a collection of corporations (with six enormous ones dominating) who unflinchingly and unfailingly defend corporate...

    Facebook Bans Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Other Far-Right Figures

    You probably aren't hearing them because they've been banned from most social media platforms. That's the scary thing about censorship: it destroys your own access to information, and distorts how you see reality. The only conservatives left with unimpeded online voices are the ones who tow the...

    Facebook Bans Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Other Far-Right Figures

    Everyone's asking for the law or court case which shows that private entities don't have the right to censor absolutely. The Supreme Court case is Marsh v. Alabama, where a Jehovah's witness was charged with trespassing for distributing pamphlets on private property: the sidewalks of a town...

    Facebook Bans Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Other Far-Right Figures

    But they can't. Because of the way the internet functions, there will never be another Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter at this point. Maybe in the early days, when a small percentage of the population was online, it would be possible for a platform to outcompete another because the amount of...

    Minnesota Model, Halima Aden, Makes History As The 1st To Wear Burkini In Sports Illustrated Swimsu

    The ability of capitalism to cheapen, commodify, and sexualize anything and everything never ceases to amaze me.

    An article about why Trump will win in 2020

    I clearly remember the moment when I knew that Hillary had lost PA. I knew it hours before it was called. I knew it when I saw the Philly turnout numbers. Dems need to realize that they cannot win without high inner city turnout. They absolutely cannot nominate someone like Buttigieg or Biden...
