When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
~Alain de Benoist
Do you think maybe Presidents and other public figures frequently refer to the American democracy because they know that most people are at least nominally aware of how our government works, and will not assume that he or she is suggesting that every governmental decision is or should be voted on by every individual citizen, like calling in to vote on a televised singing competition? It's actually the very people who are constantly repeating that bumper sticker slogan about America being "a republic, not a democracy" who don't understand what is meant by "democracy" in the context of all those speeches we hear on patriotic holidays. Not a direct or participatory democracy, but a representative democracy. Saying the country is a republic, but not a democracy is the logical equivalent of saying that my pet is a German Shepherd, but not a dog.

Man was that a poor comparison. Now before you get your knickers in a twist, I have had to do both of those things, and they are heart wrenching. The difference being, I/we as a family, had discussions prior to these situations so that we clearly understood what the person wanted/expected if things ever went this way. Therefore, a piss poor comparison, as the baby does not get this option. I am not anti-abortion, I believe there should be limits to how far along you can be, before an abortion is too late. Though if my option were limited to the 2 extremes, none or up to birth, I would pick none.
It's not that far different, believe me. It's the termination of life, taking into consideration the quality of life if not terminated.
Let me very clear, I support individual choice - in ALL things. Unfortunately, that includes abortion, because you can't support it on one hand, and not the other.
Sometimes, the termination of life doesn't allow for that option to the one who is ending. Other people have to make that choice. With first trimester abortion, it is not a cognizant being, though some try to claim it is. As much as I may dislike it, it is fact.
