Did the context of that interview change or are you still sinking to the tea party levels of intellectual laziness/dishonesty in spite of having tons of perfectly valid shit to beat him up over??


Get some integrity Rob....be better than the conservatives...don't sink to that level.

Pfft. "Real" Murican forfeited the right to civil intelligent discussion. Nothing but internet memes and mockery ahead!

You gonna roll with that or are you gonna go smug 'n bitchy with metacommentary? I'm good either way. :D

Nah man you do you.

What a fucking moron, that's not moving the goal post you imbecile.

Show me a human cloned from a human skin cell... I'll wait.

Yes it is. You never specified in your original question.

We haven't don it yet because nut jobs like you, but if we can do it with other higher order mammals we can do it with people too.
 
Yes it is.
No it isn't.

I probably support more extreme scientific advancement than you. I'm in favor of using the mentally impaired and physically crippled for experimentation. I support cloning, I support many advancements in science, medicine, technology, etc.

but if we can do it with other higher order mammals we can do it with people too.
Show me where we have cloned an anime from nothing but a skin cell.
 
No it isn't.

Yes it is.

They have been cloning mammalian life for well over a decade now.

You would think someone so supportive of science would know such things. :rolleyes:
 
No it isn't.

Proof.

Being supportive of something doesn't require that you follow it.

Yes, it is.

Proof is all over the web, if you work google like you read you might want to watch a tutorial on how to do a web search.
 
You're all forgetting a few very important things.
Namely that it's a world of laughter and a world of tears.
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears.
There's so much that we share and it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.
 
Accepted.

Awww who's having problems with reality today?? :D

You left out the most important thing.....

Pure fucking troll. This is not a reasonable discussion on abortion. This is just some fucking troll fucking with us.

It has been hijacked and Rob has lost control of his thread. As long as people quote the fucking troll and don't iggy him that is what this thread has come to. Sorry.

Don't quote trolls!
 
Donald Trump is used to speaking off the cuff and getting away with it. His ability to do that may be changing. It is one thing to condemn Arabs and Hispanics. Millions of white Republican women have had abortions.

Hey, y'all had any abortions lately? Wanna talk about-em?
 
Point is for once Trump didn't actually say anything outrageous, despite the low attention to detail koolaid drinkers out there attempt to spin otherwise.
He did for the hypocritical "right-to-life" leaders and mainstream groups.
They don't want to punish women (so they say), only the doctors.
They know if they campaign on punishing women too then they will have little backing. They claim that "women have suffered enough" by whatever drove them to seek an abortion so they only want to make abortion illegal to save babies and women.

The thing is, they claim abortion is murder, but supposedly, at least they would have us believe, contracting someone to murder a "baby" should not be against the law. Only contracting to murder people after they are born. :rolleyes:

So now Trump has said one thing I agree with, at least his initial statement. Be consistent in application of law. If Contracting for murder is illegal, it's illegal, no exceptions.
 
Real American's mum had one. Unfortunately for the world and Lit it lived.
 
Trump's inexperience led him to make a classic gaffe, defined as saying something true that one is nonetheless never supposed to admit.

You can see he was following a logical train of thought:

1. I believe, or am pretending (as Reagan did) for the purposes of trying to get the Republican presidential nomination to believe, that abortion is murder.

2. Murder is something we punish.

3. Therefore, people who obtain abortions should be punished.


The problem here is that there's insufficient political support for the idea of imprisoning (or worse) women who have abortions -- because hardly anyone REALLY believes that aborting an embryo at 8 weeks is the exact same thing morally as shooting the guy who lives next door. So pro-lifers have had to work their way around this inconsistency for decades. Trump, new to politics and by all accounts a pro-lifer for only a very short time, did not know how the game is played.

The pro choicers are freaking shit too.

Everyone who wants to hate Trump is simply ignoring the context of the conversation because it let's them think what they want.

Yep...he should have never let Matthews walk him right into that with his theory crafting questions that only lead to 2 answers of either failing to fulfill his constitutional obligation as POTUS and chief executive officer or he hates women.

"I'm not stepping in that one so you can call me stinky, I'll give that absurd question thought after congress bans abortion and the SCOTUS upholds it." is what he should have told Matthews.

He'd come out looking far far better.
 
I think the biggest fallout from this dustup is that Trump inadvertently shone a light on something the pro-birth contingent wished would stay in the shadows:

Namely, if you criminalize abortion, by definition you make the woman having one a "criminal".

For years, the pro-birthers have been nattering about only punishing doctors. I call this the Julybabby04 delusion.

For the thinking crowd I'd agree with you.

For the average voter whoz political perspective is formed via clips and MSN/FOX talking heads I doubt that's ever entered their thought process, they are all still stuck on "Trump wants to send all women to concentration camps like Hitler!!". At least until they move on to the next 5 second clip they can exploit to their advantage.
