Florida supreme court has ruled in favor of a 6 weeks abortion ban. This is ridiculous because many women don't know they are pregnant in the early stage. Trump's greatest policy achievement is a conservative majority on the supreme court that restrict rights and freedoms. Resulting in nationwide chaos as abortion policies vary widely in different states. If re-elected, a second term could be worse.
@thirdperson
If re-elected, a second term could be worse.
Trump is widely in favor of 16 week (4 month old baby) abortion bans. This is no secret. Stop the fear mongering, we have enough of it already on the other well versed talking points.
Trump's stance / policy favors are in staunch disagreement with this Florida 6 week ban decision. It will be an interesting political battle. If the Republicans are hitching their 2024 hopes based on Abortion policy then they have already lost the election.....
Can you really say you are pro life without also being pro choice? Isn't pro life about a choice?
I mean we are human and life itself is about the choices we make
Would people rather have children born into broken homes or broken families or poverty or put directly into foster care when born....nothing wrong with the option to not bring a life into this world if it means that the child cannot be raised properly....
Problem is that in Florida, upholding 15 weeks abortion ban would pace the way for 6 weeks ban. GOP support fetal person hood. Even weak legal protection for in vitro fertilization is vulnerable. For decades, republicans lie that democrats want to allow abortion until the moment of birth and force tax payers to pay for it. Actually, democrats believe women should have the choice to abort or not. But republicans want to take away the right to choose and force women to pay for abortion. So democrats are really moderates while republicans are extremists who want to restrict abortion more.

I don't feel like typing it all out again.
Long story short, I like this post. Specifically, "the religious majorities do the exact opposite because people cannot allow others to exist and to love them as they are. People want to use religion to force their partisan views down the throats of everyone"
The intolerance shown by the far left religious extremists has been on exhibit 100% here in this forum since I ventured into this cesspool sub.... sad group of people.
@wallstreetcappers
I find it quizzical how Christ taught to love others to support and do acts of kindness as a means of social interaction and to not judge, but then the religious majorities do the exact opposite because people cannot allow others to exist and to love them as they are. People want to use religion to force their partisan views down the throats of everyone and in the process they are for sure not following their faith and the precepts taught by Christ.
^This one
This is true. More than 60% of Americans are/were in support of keeping existing abortion laws that were the norm the previous 50 yrs before the conservative majority decided to defy the will of the people.
However, from an overall political perspective, to prevent this country from electing a racist-FASCIST/totalitarian style anti-Christian government of chaos, I hope more swing states do the same stupid thing as Arizona. 
Realizing the mistake, MAGA-idiot election denier Kari Lake is already back-tracking on her previous stance......IOW, lying to her constituents.......as usual
Republican voters group runs ad of Trump boasting about overturning of Roe versus Wade. Now over 33 million women live in states where abortion is banned without exceptions for rape or incest. Other states could follow Arizona which paved the way for a near total ban. Vice president Harris warns that Arizona ban is a preview of more suffering and less freedom in a second Trump term.
First time anyone on Earth has ever heard of this phrase or concept. This is not a thing. Far left is not religious. Did you get mixed up?
Far right are the whack job hypocritical Evangelical Christians forcing their BS on everyone, yet then going all in on Fat Donnie who represents the complete opposite of what they preach in lifestyle, speech, personality, and everything else. Carry on with the untrue, partisan nonsense though.
What's strange is, the same people that scream for abortion rights are against capital punishment for murderers.

Oh my Deezy.... I'm glad you decided to address this topic, let me lend a helping hand sir.... "Religious extremism", as defined; is any behavior, attitude, or belief outside the norm of religious beliefs or practices. This taken at face value can obviously be applied to any religion. The "right" or "left" wing classification falls under the ideology applied within the outlines of the religion. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. As you dive further into the "sects" of religion, see sunni/shiite or any number of the derivatives of Christianity, the potential increase of possibility of extremism only increases the further you go. You may have heard of this group called "Hamas" recently, they've been in the news a bit.
"Communisim"
"Bolsheviksim"
These are "religions" based on political ideology. You don't think you can have "left wing radical Christians" ?? Think again, go look around and you'll see. Of course these are not portrayed in Main Stream Media circles, that is only reserved for the "right wing radical Christians".
Moving beyond the officially named religions....My assertion was based on this quote, "acts of kindness as a means of social interaction and to not judge, but then the religious majorities do the exact opposite because people cannot allow others to exist and to love them as they are. People want to use religion to force their partisan views down the throats of everyone".
The most far extremes of the political spectrum can 100% accurately be described as being "INTOLERANT" of anyone with views that may fall in between the extreme sides of spectrum. They do not wish to discuss or debate. They do not think for themselves, they are told how to think. This is far left and far right idealism that has gone so far to the radical side you might as well pair them with the official religious extremists. ANTIFA style, radical Islamism, radical Christian right, radical "insert" whatever you want on any side of the spectrum.
The point is, they are INTOLERANT of any others beliefs and often rely on violence.....as the quote above says, "they cannot allow others to exist and to love them as they are". It is within their soul, they know nothing else. They are ideologues, blind partisan advocates of their said "religion".
As our fellow forum moderator wrote above, "people cannot allow others to exist and to love them as they are." Instead, they use their blind religious extremism on anyone who disagrees with them. That is exactly what we have here with regards to those radical ideologies, they are essentially another form of religious extremism.
P.S.
OJ did it.
@kcblitzkrieg You don't think you can have "left wing radical Christians" ?? P.S. OJ did it.[/Quote]
Great writeup. So what macro-level religious group is identified as the extreme left religious group in the United States? In other words, what religious sect is known to be the complete opposite as Evangelical Christians, which carries similar social and political influence in the U.S?....I'll wait. What public figure in politics or society is known to be an radical left Christian that pushes extreme left views in their religious ideology?
PS. There was a criminal trial in the mid 1990s referred to as "The trial of the century", which featured OJ Simpson. The jury ruled OJ Not Guilty. These are facts not opinions. Your statement is an opinion.
@DeezyAZ81

I'm not arguing this point, nor the public figure point. I don't disagree with those statements made above. I'm merely backing my original statement, which does not conflict with your view / question here. You are trying to create an argument for which I am not disputing.
You said there was no such thing as "left wing radical religious extremist".
I gave you several examples of such. Then expound a separate philosophy tying the two together.
You then came back with an entirely different question in an attempt to do what exactly?? Show that the radical religious right example of "evangelical Christians" somehow proves there is no such thing as "radical left religious extremists" because the evangelicals harbour so much more power?? Lmao....
@DeezyAZ81
PS. There was a criminal trial in the mid 1990s referred to as "The trial of the century", which featured OJ Simpson. The jury ruled OJ Not Guilty. These are facts not opinions. Your statement is an opinion.
Yes, my opinion, is that Orenthal turned both Nicole and Ronnie G into human PEZ dispensers. The alleged killer of the two sliced so deeply into the neck of their victim that the knife cut a quarter of an inch into the neck bones of the victim (Nicole), per the autopsy report. A "crime of passion" I am told, that is a signal of by experts.
I am of the opinion that this really happened, yes
I never said this at all. I said there is no such thing as the "far left" religious group. Meaning that there is no religious group in America that is labeled as being far left like the Evangelicals are called far right. That is my entire point. That is not a thing.
Yes, I brought up Evangelical Christians as a comparative example of course because I know you are simply trying to pick arguments and be partisan by claiming some far left extremist religious group is the same, which you know does not exist.
Secondly, of course the Evangelical right has strong political power and exercise in elections for GOP candidates. Come on KC, I know you are smarter than this.
What the hell is a radical left religious extremist anyway? You keep saying it but then cannot name one person who is or a policy example. What far left person as you describe bases policy or ideological views on religious ideals. It's clear you just said this to create some false equivalency between extreme religious right and the left, which isn't there by just throwing in religion to describe the extreme left for no apparent reason other than to divide.
Cool. You are entitled to your opinion of course. We know how these "experts" findings often turn out.
I was simply pointing to the fact that OJ was found not guilty in his murder trial and so my factual perspective is that he was exonerated for the crime.
@DeezyAZ81
I know you are simply trying to pick arguments and be partisan by claiming some far left extremist religious group is the same, which you know does not exist.
No, that is not at all what I said. My words are clearly typed on this screen. I am sorry if YOU are of the belief, per your words, I am "simply trying to pick arguments and be partisan by claiming some far left extremist religious group is the same". You are creating that argument, not me.
Please show me where I attempted to compare a far left religious extremist group as the "same" as a group I never mentioned (evangelicals) and only addressed it when YOU brought it to the discussion. I am not here to argue, only discuss thought provoking topics. You are trying to argue that there is no radical left extremist group on par with evangelical Christians. cool, don't care doesn't matter to me. Perhaps you should start a different thread topic if that is what you want to discuss.
I'll state it again for you..."I don't disagree with those statements made above. I'm merely backing my original statement, which does not conflict with your view / question here. You are trying to create an argument for which I am not disputing." See that there? Me agreeing with your first response to me and then correcting your poor attempt at trying to categorize what I am talking about. YOU are attempting to make me sound partisan when I am talking about both sides of radicals and the danger in extremism and how it relates to religion.
Let me slow it down for you Deez, I'll repeat what I said again here....
The most far extremes of the political spectrum can 100% accurately be described as being "INTOLERANT" of anyone with views that may fall in between the extreme sides of spectrum. They do not wish to discuss or debate. They do not think for themselves, they are told how to think. This is far left and far right idealism that has gone so far to the radical side you might as well pair them with the official religious extremists. See that Deez? See how I said both far left and far right idealism.... but you do you and keep making up narratives to make you feel better about yourself.
be with you
Christ is King
@DeezyAZ81
I was simply pointing to the fact that OJ was found not guilty in his murder trial and so my factual perspective is that he was exonerated for the crime.
So just to be clear on this important matter..... You do believe OJ did NOT commit a double homicide ?? He was found not guilty by a jury of his peers, yes. I know and believe he was found not guilty..... knowing and believing he makes human PEZ dispensers as a side hobby is also true...
If you sincerely believe that there is a different double murderer responsible for those actions then I have another website you may be interested in....
https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/
I like it and agree on the radical sides of the spectrum both ways.
I just do not know why you kept typing far left religious extremists because this implies that religion drives the far left ideological and policy preferences when it obviously does not. However, the far right religious extremists are heavily influenced by perceived traditional Christian values and belief systems from hundreds of years ago.
My whole point was throwing religion into the far left does not make much sense. Should have just said radical far left extremists and left the religion out of it.
@DeezyAZ81

I concur
My other point, which is more philosophy or view, is that the radicals on either side of extremism spectrum fall into the same intolerant thinking of the religious extremists. The intolerance of these groups is what makes them so dangerous. There is no discussing view points or common ground, they essentially only wish for the "destruction" of those who think and believe differently. You have people exactly like this in this cesspool sub. It is their "religion" and they identify as people with that far end of the spectrum.
