I simply thought it was off topic though you obviously think it's important enough to raise here. I am a father also of 2 fine adult kids and neither they nor I had to worry about the issues you raised in Australia, maybe it's an American thing? Regardless nice you care about your children and their future.
Cheers, Steve. - @bigpearl
It's not off-topic. It was what Trump and Vance were fighting for. No to biological men (unless they've fully transitioned) in women's spaces. No to biological men competing in women's sports. No to biologically male inmates in women's prisons.
I have nothing against transmen or transwomen. What I'm against is when a biological man cheats and abuses women by identifying as a woman, and women are prevented to say anything against it. - @FilAmericanMom

Agreed. But what do you think about a womans right to an abortion FAM? Just curious.

Understand FAM and a fair and correct call but I would be more worried about pedophiles subtly operating within the legal system,,,,, they were my concern when my kids were growing up, one has to wonder some of the picks for the Trump administration that have been raised with regards to pedophilia as well as other transgressions.

I went through that when my son was 14 but that is another sad story but he was never touched, only grooming. There are some sickos around and where you least expect. Sorry members to go off topic.

Regarding your Good Jobs First citation (the site):

"@Fred

I've seen this before. Sites with an interest in any given political position miss out critical information with the hope their readers are too dumb to see the lie by omission"

Fred:

Are your readers too dumb to see the lies in you site聽 by omission? This is basically a site for a super-leftist front organization that believes in "equity", not "equality", an old communist concept adopted by liberal progressives today.

FRED'S GOOD JOBS FIRST CITATION. ... ABOUT

"Racial Equity and Economic Development

Economic development tools can promote racial equity and other forms of social justice. But too often they merely enrich large, wealthy corporations and politically connected individuals. That鈥檚 because subsidies disproportionately benefit large corporations, and because most corporate shares are held by wealthy white people.

These injustices are revealed in multiple ways in our work when we apply a racial equity lens to economic development. Our studies, for instance, document how school districts comprised of low-income students of color lose the most to corporate tax breaks and how subsidies fund suburban sprawl that moves jobs out of communities of color.

Addressing these problems, we have for more than 20 years been proposing policy reforms to reverse these harms and drive reinvestment to communities most harmed by previous exclusionary practices.

So you support equity (common outcome for all) over equal opportunity for all! That is the purpose of your site and although it purports to provide聽 undefined subsidies of some sort to HD and other companies, yes I would be happy ending subsidies IF THEY EXIST and I believe Mush, Vivak and Trump would oppose them too.

You are trying to build upon a Trump misconception, he said he is not against abortions and said he would never outlaw it. He is not trying to control women's bodies.The supreme court moved the issue of abortion back to each state. Each state reflects the values of it's citizens. State's have different laws regarding abortions.

Our country is the "United"---------States" of America. To simplify it, each state could be considered an independent country. They are bound together by the Federal Government originally for mutual protection.

What's legal in one state may not be legal in another.

I just wonder, how do all the extremist MAGA guys on here feel about Trump's cabinet picks so far, personally I think he made a big mistake choosing Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, that is a far too sensible an appointment. Although he is an extreme right winger and a danger to America, he doesn't really fit in with the rest of the other crazies he has chosen to run his government. I think Elon Musk is going to have trouble keeping all of these nutters in line while Donald J. is spending his time on the golf course. Looking seriously at the rest of his cabinet picks I don't think I would have been really shocked if he had chosen Donald Duck as Secretary of State. Hahahaha. - @FindlayMacD

It is so interesting to hear foreigners' opinions on US elections. They never talk about politics in their own countries and I seriously wonder why.(actually I know why and cannot blame them lol)聽 Is it that their politics are boring to the rest of the world, or insignificant? Are they ashamed that their politicians just don't matter to us? America is not the biggest country in the world and China apparently has the biggest economy and EU is similar in size to us while Great Britain still goes back and forth between USA and EU, not sure about who to join politically and economically. Foreigners here warn us that China had the largest military, economy, best social system blah blah blah, yet nobody here comments on EU, AU-NZ or UK elections, or the Chinese Premier's hold on dictatorship, instead聽 they just mostly complain and bitch about whatever the majority of US voters have decided. Do I sense a bit of envy? "No" They will certsinly respond haha. I for one am very FLATTERED about this and it gives my vote an overwhelming sense of importance. If it weren't for you guys, hell. I might as well be wasting my vote in the UK, AU NZ or Brussels (but not China coz nobody votes there 馃様). Whether or not you consider this election a negative as most forum foreigners here do,, i (not speaking for other American here) thank you for your non-support as you make us even more proud as Trump supporters 馃憦

(1) When I was an young adult the only abortions available were called back alley abortions. So I was careful and used protection as not wanting to be a father or being financially responsible for a child I would never know.

(2) When abortions were legal, I still maintained my feelings about abortions not being a part of my life.

(3) Later in life, I disagreed with the idea that abortions should be used as birth control, which appears some irresponsible people were doing. I thought Tax Money should not pay for abortions, especially with so many other ways to prevent pregnancies. I was not against abortions, but I would never be the cause of an abortion.

(4) Much later in life I thought I would not want to have my child aborted or would I want my child to be raised by a single mother. So I was careful so it didn't happen.

(5) So throughout my life my thoughts about abortions changed.

(6) Moving to the Philippines so many single mothers. So many careless Expats, 30 or 40 older than their children. Some Expats come to the Philippines for a Sexcation and are irresponsible and really don't care if they have a child and never have a wonder.

(7) Abortions change with your beliefs over the years. It depends on what you believe when that life inside the womb is a person. When and if it's a person depends on your beliefs, morality, religion or guilt about killing a life.

(7) When it comes to live births I believe it's murder if they are left to die.

I have to admit, I used to have TDS. I wasn't aware I had it because, like a pill, I was taking CNN and MSNBC on a regular basis. Then I chanced upon a youtube channel called California Insider, and one inquiry led to another Then I realized I had TDS, even before it was called that. At first, my husband and I were in denial we because we did not want to alienate ourselves from family and friends who up to now have TDS. But when we weaned off CNN and MSNBC, things became clearer and clearer. We realized were duped.

Trump did not tell his supporters to attack the Capitol. He actually said the opposite. The media cut and snipped parts of his speech to create a narrative that Trump encouraged his supporters to attack. A different set of people attacked. And Pelosi could have prevented people from storming the Capitol, but didn't. And we learned about this three years later the incident.

America is facing a lot of issues that need to be fixed. I don't think that Kamala is the best person for the job of fixing those issues, since those issues came up when she was, and still is, in office. She could have already enacted the policies she proposed. But she didn't. And I think it's because she can't. So even if she wins, I think she still can't enact those policies.

I say give Trump a chance. The guy did dodge a bullet, which was unbelievable, a little short of divine intervention. I like his policies better than Kamala's. But they're not perfect. Let's wait and see till January 20, 2026, to determine whether his policies worked.

A woman has the right to do what she wants with her body. Get a tattoo, a nose job, donate one of her kidneys, lose / gain weight, eat processed food, etc. But a fetus is not her body even though it's inside her body. It is someone else's body. It has its own DNA. It is alive. If a person or persons intentionally stop it from living, they're killing it. I do believe that day one in human development is not the day we were born, but the day we became a zygote with our own unique set of DNA. ("Zygote" sounds funny to me. I sometimes chuckle when I hear it in biology class. LOL.)

Don't twist my words in order to push your TDS! Never did I mention that women should be punished for having an abortion. I replied to Lotus Eater regarding my belief on why an unwanted human being inside a woman's body should not be put to death.

Trump has left it with the states to have their own laws and punishments on abortions.

With regards to abortion, per se, I don't agree with Trump. He has three exceptions. I only have one: when the life of the mother is at risk.

Is it TDS to quote Trump?

The way I look at it, if a woman wants to terminate her live birth, could that give her the right to terminate previous live live births? Same thing.

Terminating live births should be a crime, it's bad enough to terminate unborn people.

You don't believe that lie because your brain is working normally.

I suspect Trump wants to ban abortion in the hope brain damaged fetuses will grow up and vote for him.

That's likely to be the reason he wants the education department closed - the dumber the public, the greater his voter base.

A Fetus is an unborn offspring developing in the Uterus, while a born Child is an infant who has emerged from the womb and is capable of independent existence.

What is independent existence? That child can breathe, eat and regulate body temperature independently, has a beating heart or has voluntary muscular movements. Their organs are fully developed and functional. Recognized as a person with rights and protection under the law.

Federal laws like the Born Alive Infants Protection Act explicitly recognizes the legal personhood of infants born alive.

[link under review]

Signed into law by President George Bush on Aug 5th, 2002

Some state laws often provide specific protection for newborns allowing parents to safely surrender unwanted infants.
