As a compromise, eliminating the lifestyle abortions and leaving the incest and rape ones alone would sound like a reasonable, bipartisan compromise. It doesn't happen because abortion mills depend on the lifestyle abortions to fund their operations. The economics of abortion just don't work without them.
In March, the Planned Parenthood mask fell again as one of their lobbyists became a youtube sensation as she argued in favor of infanticide, saying that once born alive, the state should not interfere with a mother and her doctor conspiring to neglect a premature baby to death because the abortion was botched and it was born alive.
That's compassion only a Democrat hack could love.
People need help. Often it is not cash help but a ride, or some quick résumé formatting, or some job interview advice. Democrat solutions atomize communities and make the aid check the mark of compassion. This makes it harder for the truly compassionate, often Republicans, to give a hand up because the kind of quiet help that is needed is harder to give to an atomized group of people who you have few connections to and no insight on how to deliver the help you, personally, can give.
The woman who thinks she needs an abortion today really needed to get plugged into a supportive community ten years ago. The child is better born and given a ghost of a chance for adoption than dying because their betters have pronounced them inferior and unworthy of life before they were born.
Republicans and independents need to rebel against the destruction of our social fabric championed by people Rich James carries water for. Show up, make connections, do not be easily offended and we can save lives and make a place worthy to be lived in.
What's the end goal here and the final cost? How many neighborhoods to separate are left in the district and what would it cost to do the job right instead of doing it twice?
In a healthy gun culture, responsible men are armed, train regularly, and are the most dangerous people on the street. But these are arms that simply do not get brandished or fired irresponsibly because, by definition, these are responsible people. In the actual gun culture in urban areas, the most dangerous men on the street are teenagers with poor impulse control, poor firearms training, and a big chip on their shoulder. When the responsible, law abiding men and women in urban areas are armed, the gang bangers will tone the violence down or they will simply not survive.
Shame on you.
If we're going to be comparing homicide rates, I'll take Switzerland over the UK. But to get Swiss death rates, you'd end up being more armed, not less.
As for good or small government, 100 million people died by the hands of their own governments in the 20th century political experiments to see whether good government and big government are ultimately compatible. Past a certain point, it's pretty clear that they are not. It's not right to leave that hard won knowledge by the wayside and start over.
The question left to resolve is at what point does solving problems by private action instead of government stop making government better. We are nowhere near that point right now, as evidenced by the many areas across the country and around the world who have smaller and better governments than we do.
