Interesting 'social Darwinist" take on the matter. So you think ALL deaths are the consequence of the deceased actions?
Defund ≠ Ban.
And separate but equal isn´t racist.
Well done. One would be hard pressed to make a less relevant, less material comparison. Perhaps next time try using the Nazis?
A Libertarian talking about relevance? Rich. I´m sorry the point went over your head. Actually, I´m really not because I could have drawn you a picture and you still wouldn´t have gotten it.

Well you see, what he said was that not spending government money on something at all is not the same thing as saying that the something can not exist by law.
Yes and I stated that separate but equal wasn´t racist. The point was simple, if you use enough rhetoric you can whitewash the true meaning of legislative action. Conservatives and their reject brethren Libertarians have been trying for decades to ban abortion or as they call it overturn Roe V Wade, defunding PP is just another step in that goal.
Again you don't make sense. Overturning Roe v. Wade is certainly a just goal, but that wouldn't represent a federal ban of abortion. That would require a constitutional amendment (itself also a just goal).
Again, it was $23M in fed dollars, $3M in TX dollars. It was mainly dollars from all of us, TX was not following fed guidelines on disbursement.I don't see how it can be unconstitutional for a state to decide how to spend the constituents money.
Absolute nonsense.
LOL....too funny! Just because that is their goal, it doesn't mean that is what they are working towards.The people that resent funding PP through government coercion probably also want Roe overturned, but that doesn't make defunding anything more than defunding.
3 times you have said this in this thread, each time you have been told that it is about the rights of a person, namely a woman. A zygote is not a person.Roe is nonsense. Equal and opposite nonsense is not the solution. Roe is nonsense specifically because the Constitution does not say anything about abortion.
Now, if you want to say that all you need to ignore the rule of law is to have an overwhelming majority of the public to elect politicians who will willfully ignore the rule of law? Well, unfortunately, yes. That's the root of a lot of problems, I'm afraid.
Mob rule - it's why pure democracy sucks.

A zygote is not a person.
What it shows is that you have no understanding of Roe when you go no about "abortion is not in the constitution". The court did not base their decision on a non-existent word in the document.This is not a response to what I said, really. The Constitution does not define any rights relevant to the question of abortion, for women or anyone else. It is a plain English document.
Doing nothing beyond....? Are you kidding? The defining of a person is the basis for ALL of the constitution, it is all for the the person, the individual.Person being nothing more than a legal construct, this is a truism, doing nothing beyond asserting the central question of the abortion debate.
Again, it was $23M in fed dollars, $3M in TX dollars. It was mainly dollars from all of us, TX was not following fed guidelines on disbursement.
Yes, they put some restrictions on how the program distributes the program funds.So the fed send money to TX and tells them how to use it?
That doesn't guarantee that the funds get to the point of service.The feds should just send the money to PP themselves.
