Christofascists and conservative fascists

They passed their Fugitive Slave Act and the Conservatives said BS we are not going to abide by it. So the progressives started a war to get the changes they wanted. S

We are seeing the same things today. Progressives are threating Succession because they are opposed to the Supreme Court Ruling. Progressives only want their way or the highway.
Complete garbage. Preserving slavery was the conservative stance. Abolishing slavery was a progressive idea.
 
😂

No they weren’t.

Not even close.

The conservatives were the thugs who owned the massive plantations.

The republicans were considered wild eyed liberals in 1860
Real a history book once and awhile, even Grant owned a slave


An investigation has revealed that more than 1,700 people who served in the US Congress owned human beings as property during their lifetimes.

In all, 1,715 cases of lawmakers who owned people as slaves were found from the 18th through the 20th centuries, the Washington Post newspaper's analysis determined.

The study examined censuses and other historical records to compile its findings.

The lawmakers who owned slaves were determined to have represented 37 different states, including states in the South, every state in New England, as well as states in the Midwest and the West.


 
With respect:

Legal abortion being much harder to get forces two main things for women and girls that want to abort their pregnancy:

1. Work a lot harder to get a legal abortion.

2. Get an illegal abortion, which must be a rare service, which means they're much harder to get.

Making it harder and harder very likely reduces the number of abortions. Those are two of the main anti-abortion goals.

I don't have a problem with good ways to reduce and diminish the negatives of abortions (earlier when possible, pharmaceutical, prevention, education, etc) but I have a very big problem with the way the anti-abortion movement is trying to do so.
All true. Women will have to adapt to the new reality and act accordingly to protect themselves.
Those religious zealots don't care about the consequences and abortion is not the end of their ambition but just a steppingstone to a Christian theocracy. They will absolutely destroy America. This needs to sink in and people who are not ok with that need to get their ass off their couch and organize

A singular slave, who he freed via a manumission deed worth roughly a thousand dollars at a time when he desperately needed the money. Which really does show a incredibly strength of character.

Your excuse falls flat.

I don't make excuses, the North owned slaves and Lincoln only freed the southern slaves to disrupt the south economy
 
With respect:

"After Tiller" shows that abortion is a complex issue because it shows several different cases of why women and girls wanted abortions. But, with your "emotional illogical propaganda" comment, you're obviously trying to diminish it. And you're projecting because your argument uses the implicit emotion within "killing babies" as an attempt to counter the solid logical, emotional, practical, etc reasons for why abortion should remain very legal.
What cases? Nutshell what you found d compelling.

Killing babies is a fact, not emotion.

You haven't got a clue. The only reason slavery was abolished was to keep Britain and France from helping the south. Then it was only abolished in the rebelling states not the northern states.

You certainly do, as shown by your desperate attempt to equate Grant owning a single slave, who he freed despite desperately needing the money for himself, with the South’s slavery driven society.
 
Like you would have been a republican in1864.

With respect:

Of course it's the Democrats that are today's explicit racists- that's why white supremacist groups and such wholeheartedly support Democratic politicians, not T**** and Republicans. It makes perfect backward sense. @BahamaBob

By the way, I believe that many of today's Democratic politicians support structural racism.
