"Kavanaugh will join the Supreme Court despite opposition from senators representing more than half the country, despite more than half the country opposing his nomination, despite being viewed unfavorably by nearly half the country and thanks to a president who is viewed with disapproval by more than half the country and who lost the popular vote.

He will join three other justices who, like him, were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote."

Too bad we’re a republic and not a democracy. Just like the founding fathers intended.

I totally see what you're trying to point out. I just don't agree, much as you don't agree that there's a difference in these cases. That's fine. We don't have to agree.

Of course, that circles back to what role should government have in controlling our lives? Should it impose a belief system? Should it tell us that a baby's rights in utero override those of the woman carrying the baby? If so, why? If not, why not?

There's no easy answer in the case of abortion, because the baby's life is dependent on it's mother's life. Except in cases of late term pregnancy, (~26 weeks with current technology), the baby isn't even viable outside the womb. If it were, this would be easy. Unwanted pregnancies would simply be given over to the state. There would be no need for abortion. Because it's not, you would effectively have to force a woman to carry to term. If she pursued an abortion on her own, she would have to be jailed. Is that what we want?

Hitler decided that life which was dependent on other lives was ok to kill. He didn't distinguish between in womb and out. You have some reason to make the distinction. I don't.

What place does government have to limit your rights to murder? Government will enforce a morality. It's just a matter of which one the government will enforce.

It actually makes me worried for Trump's safety to be honest. They are getting more unhinged and their political and media "leaders" are encouraging this behavior.

You’re correct. They never learn from their behavior, they just keep doubling down.

So, you honestly think that there are a bunch of women out there that just can't wait to get their next abortion, because they think it's so awesome? I find that very hard to believe.

Then why does it appear to be the only issue they seemed to get outraged about? Abortion is not at the top or even near the top of most women's daily lives.

God I hope Ginsburg Kagan and Sotomayer don’t act like assholes to him. We have a full SCOTUS again. Get to work and put this crap behind us.
