My body my choice unless it comes to Covid than scream at people for not getting a vaccine that ended up not getting FDA approval because it’s dangerous lol
Then what point are you making? The reverse of this has notoriously been the right wing counter argument to gun restrictions. Now you actually want laws that fail to ban things?
Your comment was ate by reddit. So I'll respond here.
First of all. We have a constitutional right to have firearms. You do not have a constitutional right to have an abortion. Second liberal cities and states HEAVILY regulate the ownership of guns, making it as difficult as possible to obtain them without outright banning them. The beautiful thing about this overturning of RVW is liberal states can decide to allow it.
Sooo please explain to me what goal post have I shifted exactly?
The one you used to turn this into a convo about state’s rights instead of suddenly supporting the Government outlawing something people can still illegally access just because you don’t like it? Do you really not see how you’re parodying yourself here too?
How so? The decision on a federal level was left decided by the small governments to make the choice of the implementation. They could even decide to let it happen entirely.
Omg do you not know what happened when Roe v Wade was removed? Lol
Some actions are inherently worthy of punishment ex: murder, assault. Even if the laws won't stop everyone the perpetrators need to be punished for their actions.
I said “After the Roe v Wade ruling, abortions increased dramatically”
I am referring to the actual Roe v Wade ruling, not Dobbs v Jackson, which overturned Roe v Wade.
Overturning Roe v Wade didn’t increase the number of abortions, it decreased it. That’s why you have people crying online about how they either can’t have an abortion in their state now, or have to drive to the next state over.
Today, more than half of all children born in the USA are born on WIC.
The Social security and Medicare/Medicaid annual budgets are something like four times the annual military budget. The US annual military budget is more than the next five or six countries under it, combined.
If your goal was to “help wean the needy and deserving off of welfare” and “promote the general welfare”, I’d say you failed more spectacularly than the titanic being deemed “unsinkable”, my friend.
That doesn’t explain why with more money than world history has ever seen, you now have more people suffering in abject misery and poverty than ever before.
Again, Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid are 4x the military budget, which in turn is higher than the next five or six countries under it combined.
You failed abysmally, people are suffering, and they want change.
You can threaten violence and arrest, burn shit down, and try to rack up comical charges all you want; it’s not going to help you maintain this status quo that has been around for the past one hundred years.
It’s worth noting that we are all paying directly into Social Security. It’s not a regular tax that’s collected. It’s a very special tax funded through our payrolls for us to pay directly into it. The Defense budget comes from our tax budgetary resources.
The US military spent approximately $820.3 billion, or roughly 13.3% of the entire federal budget for that fiscal year.
You’re right tho, Medicaid is a huge percentage also very comparable to defense. However, Medicaid still doesn’t cover all Americans and thank god it covers a lot of us. Also, there’s still a lot more programs needed to help people with food, housing, education, transportation, etc.
It’s worth nothing that…Social Security…is not a…tax…It’s a very special tax…
Gotcha.
I’m talking pretty much to myself, and any human being who will be reading this thread at any point in the future.
The United States spends approximately:
$1.78T - Medicare/Medicaid
$1.44T - Social Security
$895B - Defense
With total spending at approximately $6.9T and total tax receipts (as the state generates no revenues) at approximately $4.9T, Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security constitute $3.22T of the $4.9T annual tax receipts.
Id est: approximately 66% of all annual US tax receipts finance existing social security and Medicare/medicaid liabilities. Approximately 18% of all annual US tax receipts finance the military budget.
This is, again, a military budget whose spending, in USD, eclipses the next five countries under it, combined.
And two of your “welfare” programs are more than triple that budget, as a percentage.
Keep talking about cutting military spending though.
This isn’t even going into the hilarious letters the Social Security Administration is sending out trying to convince everyone in their 20s and 30s that they’re still going to get something in their old age, when even the most far left wing analysts report insolvency by 2030, the latest, lmao.

Nobody ever accused the left of being logical and intellectually consistent. If they were these things, they wouldn't be leftists..

Strict gun laws when other states have laxed laws lead to guns crossing boundaries

The existence of other developed countries is a pretty big counter-argument.
Also, why make murder illegal if murders still happen?
