  1. I'm sure some grifter somewhere is making an "Aaron Bushnell Foundation" now that I think about it. There's always that we can cling to.

     

    Or we can acknowledge that setting yourself on fire outside of a foreign country's embassy to protest a war that you have no involvement in is fucking mental. And to glorify it is actually irresponsible. There's that option.

    Isn't MAGA brown as well? Laws put into place in 1846 probably wouldn't favor him either. 

     

    I'm white, raised in Westminster.

    So that means i'm part white, asian, and mexican. I got the good traits of all of them tho.

    Yes, because it got so less divisive after it was overturned. We went all the way back to 1864 in Arizona and in Texas you might die as the fetus inside you is dying (and possibly preventing a woman from having more kids if she survives) so she has to go to another state to potentially save her own life (pro life!).

    Of course there's gonna be blowback after the overturning. But it'll eventually quiet down, and that'll be that. 

    So up until Roe, Arizona had a 100 year old law that stood the test of time? Ok. Sounds like it was working as intended. I don't get why the age of a law matters. I'm pretty sure the law against murder is older than that.

    I personally don't like that abortions happen (minus rape, incest or health of the mother) but it is none of my god damn business what someone else chooses to do. As a conservative, I thought we were supposed to stay in our lane so to speak and not have too much government intrusion. But here we are with some of these states going above an beyond overreach. Republicans wanted to overturn it for so long so we'll see how it potentially hurts them in the long run. Maybe it doesn't but I have my doubts. 

    Teach the basics in sex education and don't ban it anywhere. Teaching abstinence is fine by me but go above and beyond that. We could possibly prevent unwanted pregnancies and therefore abortions aren't happening as much. Is it a perfect system, absolutely not but anything and everything helps. 

     

    And here is the forever old debate. 

    "Abortion is healthcare"

    "My body my choice"

    "Abortion is murder"

    "Let people do whatever they want"

    No one is going to convince anyone else at this point to re-consider their view on it. A large part of society thinks its fine, another large part thinks its so immoral to the point of criminality.

    Round and round we go. Unless the constitution changes on this subject, nothing will happen federally.

    Ending Roe v. Wade made the issue come back in a big way. You can thank Trump, the Republicans in the Senate in 2015, and RBG for that.

     

    The Roe v Wade decision is what made it a toxic issue for decades.

     

    It was a bullshit decision that was finally corrected. And now the country can properly address the issue, by leaving it to the states and we can move on.

     

    You should be thanking Trump for helping to move us past this divisive issue.

    Neither is the idiotic idea that religion determines science and human rights as part of the constitution. 

    Cool, no one said that.

    Since, as far as I know, no woman has given birth to anything besides a human, I don’t think religion is required to know what’s growing inside her.

    It was a right from 1972 until recently. It still should be a right since those who oppose abortion are not compelled by law to have one. It's a stupid argument on every level. 

     

    No, what's a stupid argument is the 1972 ruling which held that abortion is a protected right in the constitution.

    Hence, the ruling was reversed, at it should have been. Because it's not in the fucking constitution.

    He might bat with the bases empty more often than other sluggers, since the Angels haven't always surrounded him with a solid core of hitters.

    It does "feel like" Trout often chokes with runners on base, but that could just be confirmation bias. I'm not sure what the statistics say.

     

    Don't know how to measure it across a large group of players, but the example given:

     

    trout : 40.9% of his career PAs or 2685 total PAs with men on
    soriano : 40.8% of his career PAs or 3431 total PAs with men on
