it’s not the governments job to mandate Kidney donations, nor is it it’s place to mandate a woman to keep a pregnancy.
Why the government is involved in abortion banning?
The movement to end legal abortion has a long, racist history, and like the great replacement theory, it has roots in a similar fear that white people are going to be outnumbered by people believed to hold a lower standing in society. Those anxieties used to be centered primarily around various groups of European immigrants and newly emancipated slaves, but now they’re focused on non-white Americans who, as a group, are on track to numerically outpace non-Hispanic white Americans by 2045, according to U.S. Census projections.
It’s been decades since the anti-abortion movement first gained traction — and the movement has changed in certain ways — but this fundamental fear has never left, as demonstrated by attacks on people of color, such as the shooter in Buffalo, New York, who expressed concern about the declining birth rates of white people. That’s because the anti-abortion movement, at its core, has always been about upholding white supremacy.

Yes, it is unfair that Trump gets 400 million while I get almost nothing.
Here is why Trump was rewarded by his father.
President Donald Trump helped “his parents dodge taxes” in the 1990s, including “instances of outright fraud” that allowed him to amass a fortune from them.

What are Einstein's critiques of capitalism?
Einstein predicted that under such a capitalist society, political parties and politicians would be corrupted by financial contributions made by owners of large capital amounts, and the system "cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society".

Everyone owning a Bible and a black slave will unite the western world.
China is the leading Bible supplier in the world.
More than 20 million Protestant and Catholic Bibles are printed annually by America’s largest Bible publishing companies. But few are aware that most of these Bibles are printed in China, by Amity Printing Company. (Bible publishers that don’t print in China include InterVarsity Press [IVP], St. Ignatius Press, St. Benedict Press, Cambridge University Press, R. L. Allan & Son, and Schuyler Bibles.) Thanks to American publishing decisions, American Christians rely on a state that represses Christianity for their Bibles. While China intensifies religious persecution at home and is considered by U.S. Intelligence to be “the greatest threat to America today,” this Bible supply chain is increasingly precarious. Yet the Bible publishers have no plans to use alternative printing presses.
The majority of all people enslaved in the New World came from West Central Africa.
A recent Gallup survey from 2023 indicates that of the entire U.S. population (332 million) about 67% is Christian (224 million).
Owning a Bible and a black slave will certainly unite China, Africa and America and the Christian countries.

Do you believe a fetus is property?
In Roe v. Wade, the state of Texas argued that "the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.
At what point is a fetus considered a person?
A human life may be considered a human person at fertilization. On the other hand, others attribute personhood once the physical appearance of a fetus resembles the mature human form at about week 9 of gestation during embryogenesis.

Your ideas don’t deal with the problems of distraction facing students and teachers.Correct, solving problem A doesn't solve problem B. It goes the other way too. Resolving distractions doesn't give everyone access to the best teachers at the best universities.

How does having the best teachers eliminated distractions they don’t have any control over? The solution should fit the problem. The problem is distraction. Your solution does not fix the problem of distraction.
You accepted solving the teachers problem (A) does not solve the distraction problem (B).so the quality of education does not improve.problem (C).

Exactly my point, the original argument insinuates the fetus doesn't gain consciousness"A fetus is alive, sure. However it's not conscious, and it's really just a jumble of cells, so those cells shouldn't be given more rights than a human woman"While the op does say this is a bad argument, they don't criticize the facts presented, just the general quality
Are you saying even the Supreme Court of America got it wrong when it approved abortion in 1975 or 5 decades ago.
Since the high court's January 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which granted women the constitutional right to terminate their pregnancies.

I know it is illegal for some of you to comment on this post but it certainly is enlightening to learn about Germany's struggle to umm cremate lots of bodies.
There is an explanation for this.
The first crematorium and gas chamber, and the two “bunkers,” were withdrawn from use in 1943 after World War II ended, when the four large Nazi crematoria and gas chambers in Birkenau went into operation.

I don't really have time to full articulate my opinion on abortion atm, but you are missing the point that the fetus at some point does obtain consciousness in the womb.
There is still an open debate about consciousness during pregnancy. It is widely believed that consciousness requires a thalamocortical structure, and this system develops at around 26 weeks of pregnancy, so it is unlikely that consciousness is present before that time.

I was wondering what I would have for lunch.Is that a question or a statement? Here's a hint, look at the punctuation on the end of the sentence, what does that tell you?.
Several examples of wondering as a question.
Meaning of wondering in English
to ask yourself questions or express a wish to know about something: [ + question word ] Shouldn't you phone home? Your parents will be wondering where you are. He's starting to wonder whether he did the right thing in accepting this job.
What does it mean when someone says just wondering?
(informal) Used to qualify a question or action, explaining it as modivated by curiosity.
I Wonder: What is it? “I Wonder” questions are just what they sound like: The beginning of a statement that asks for more information on a topic.
Cambridge dictionary.
Wondering meaning: to ask yourself questions or express a wish to know about something:
What is the difference between wonder and question ...
Wonder
Synonym for wonder Wonder is questioning oneself. Or in another words, it means like “thinking” I'm wondering why did he do that.
Wonder: to think about and ask oneself about something; to be curious about; speculate: [no object] says he didn't do it, but I still wonder.

If it wasn't for that stupid song , the day the music died,American pie , is it.?If it wasnt for that song , the trinity would be deemed alot more ummmm stupider.That song does play a factor in this belief of a holy trinity but.Oh darn it.Now ive that stupid song in my head.
There’s general agreement that the song is about the cultural and political decline of the US in the 1960s, a farewell to the American dream after the assassination of President Kennedy. “Bye bye Miss American Pie,” he sings. “Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.” But McLean has always kept stumm about the allusions in his verses. “Carly Simon’s still being coy about who You’re So Vain was written about,” he says. “So who cares, who gives a fuck?”
You need to find another Trinity Song.

Yes, where he was free to speak in favor of socialism. As I said, he was smart.
Why did Einstein leave Germany?
Albert Einstein emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1933, primarily due to the rise of the Nazi regime and the increasing persecution of Jews. Several key factors influenced his decision: Anti-Semitism: The Nazi Party, which came to power in January 1933, promoted virulent anti-Semitic policies.
That is why Einstein chose America a capitalist country country.

Anyways, I just had to write some stuff down to get it out of my head, thanks for hearing me out.
How the abortion laws changed in the courts.
In January 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision in McCorvey's favor holding that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides a fundamental "right to privacy", which protects a pregnant woman's right to an abortion. It also held that the right to abortion is not absolute and must be balanced against the government's interests in protecting women's health and prenatal life.
In 2022, the Supreme Court overruled Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on the grounds that the substantive right to abortion was not "deeply rooted in this Nation's history or tradition", nor considered a right when the Due Process Clause was ratified in 1868, and was unknown in U.S. law until Roe.[
Supreme Court decision
On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision in favor of "Jane Roe" (Norma McCorvey) holding that women in the United States had a fundamental right to choose whether to have abortions without excessive government restriction and striking down Texas's abortion ban as unconstitutional. The decision was issued together with a decision in a companion case, Doe v. Bolton, which involved a similar challenge to Georgia's abortion laws.
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to uphold Mississippi's Gestational Age Act, and 5–4 to overrule Roe and Casey. Similar to the leaked draft opinion, the opinion of the court written by Justice Alito stated that Roe was "egregiously wrong from the start" and its reasoning "exceptionally weak". It also stated that Roe has "enflamed debate and deepened division" and that overruling it would "return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives".[339] The majority opinion relied on a constitutional historical view of abortion rights, saying, "The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision."[340] The reasoning was that "abortion couldn't be constitutionally protected. Until the latter part of the 20th century, such a right was entirely unknown in American law. Indeed, when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, three quarters of the States made abortion a crime at all stages of pregnancy."[341] Some historians argued that this view is incomplete,[341] with Leslie J. Reagan saying that Alito "speciously claims" the truth of his assertions.[342] In their dissent, Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor jointly wrote, "The right Roe and Casey recognized does not stand alone. To the contrary, the Court has linked it for decades to other settled freedoms involving bodily integrity, familial relationships, and procreation. Most obviously, the right to terminate a pregnancy arose straight out of the right to purchase and use contraception. In turn, those rights led, more recently, to rights of same-sex intimacy and marriage. Either the mass of the majority's opinion is hypocrisy, or additional constitutional rights are under threat. It is one or the other."

I think it's interesting that you identify "against homosexuality" as your "sexual preference".
Already explained the difference between against homosexuality and sexual preference.
Being a homosexual or heterosexual is a sexual preference.
Going against homosexuality is a person who is opposed, disagrees to this free choice.
If you ask a normal straight man what his sexual preference is, the straightforward answer they will give is "heterosexual".
That would be the sexual preference of the individual.
Being a homosexual or heterosexual is a sexual preference.
When the answer is "against homosexuality", I just think that is an unusual answer to a simple question, it strikes me that the individual is not exactly comfortable simply claiming to be heterosexual, it implies the person has issues that need to be dealt with, I think.
Going against homosexuality is a person who is opposed, disagrees to this free choice.

None of the verses are about homosexuality, Jesus never said a word about homosexuality, not one word.There is no reason whatsoever to think that Jesus' was "against homosexuality".I think it is kind of sad when a person can't define themself except by referring to others, I'm a heterosexual, see it's not that hard to do.I really don't think "against homosexual" is an orientation, it's a bigotry, sure, if you are needy that way then fine, but I really don't think you can call Christ a bigot.What does your bigotry make of these verses:John 13:23: "One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to Him"John 21:7: "Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It is the Lord!'"John 21:20-22: "Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them"
But what did Jesus mean, precisely, when he referred to “sexual immorality” as one of those defiling and excluding sins?
The Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament And Other Early Christian Literature (BDAG) defines the word porneia, translated in most Bibles as “sexual immorality”, as involving “unlawful sexual intercourse”. The Jewish law provides a long list of what constitutes unlawful sexual intercourse in Leviticus 18-20. According to those statutes, a man was forbidden to have sex with the following:
1. His neighbour’s wife (Leviticus 18:21)
2. Another man (Leviticus 18:22)
3. An animal (Leviticus 18:23)
4. His mother in law (Leviticus 20:11)
5. His daughter in law (Leviticus 20:12)
6. His sister (Leviticus 20:17)
Sex with any of these would be considered porneia – unlawful.
According to Jesus sex of this sort defiles a person and thus places them outside the worshipping community and outside the eternal kingdom of God.
Therefore it certainly cannot be argued that Jesus affirmed or was indifferent toward the issue of homosexual sex. Jesus clearly endorsed the Old Testament vision of marriage as an inviolable covenant between one man and one woman and he clearly viewed unlawful sex as being the sort of thing that defiled a person and placed them outside the kingdom of God. Jesus did not use the word “homosexuality” but neither did he use the word “incest” or “bestiality”. He did not need to. In using the Greek word porneia he identified with how the Jewish law delineated lawful and unlawful sex.

Please list the Bible verses where Jesus spoke about homosexuality?
Jesus did speak explicitly about sexual immorality in general and the nature of marriage. He denounced the former (e.g., Matt. 5:28; 15:19) and defined the latter according to Genesis 2:24: “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh” (Matt. 19:5 AT; par. Mark 10:7–8).
Jesus affirmed the covenanted union of one man and one woman as the only normative expression of human sexuality. It is incredible to suggest that these words from Jesus have no bearing on the question of homosexuality. They surely do.

Being a homosexual or heterosexual is a sexual preference.Going against homosexuality is a person who is opposed, disagrees to this free choice.When Jesus summarized his teachings he said, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself".I don't see how you can do that unless you recognize that his orientation is to him, what my orientation is to me.How do you get "against homosexuality" from "love thy neighbor as thyself"?
The Bible teaches marriage is between a man and woman. So is sex between a man and woman. Homosexuality goes against this teaching.
Love thy neighbour as thyself is to show compassion, kindness towards your neighbour which is different from having sex with your same sex neighbour. Same sex is even considered unnatural.

If they accept everyone and give virtual degrees, this would be a bit like Facebook having millions of users. Applications wouldn't need to be evaluated to the extent they are now.
