My Mother suffered with Spina Bifida and my grandparents were told she would not survive a year after her birth. Then it was three, then six, then her teens, and finally they gave up.
After suffering multiple different medical issues through out her lifetime along with the spina bifida, she lived to be 89 years old.
Not getting into the whole deal, I believe the Medical industry blew it. After speaking to several people and a lawyer, most commented on her age. I told them all, my mother was a fighter since birth. I had just installed a new deck with a ramp to make it easier for her, I had contacted the local Dialysis treatment center, so even if I could have had only a couple years living with her, that time would have been a treasure.
Agree with you to a point. The position you are taking is similar to the Libertarian view. It may seem simpler to just let people do what they want within the scope they have. However, there are always unintended consequences, connections we weren’t aware of. We don’t live in vacuums. We just can’t decide to drive the way we want, while others follow the rules of the road. Similar to Oregon’s decriminalization of possession of heroin, cocaine and other illicit drugs. It had an effect on the users, but also a negative impact on the cities and people connected to the users.
That said, we do need to find middle ground which allows a person to die, in their own time, with dignity. Some still hold to the idea that suicide is a mortal sin while others worry our feral government will look to adopt laws to end our lives quicker especially for those deemed “unproductive”; warehoused in senior living, or those unwanted or who inconvenience society (abortion is an example).
Sadly, we treat our pets better. Somehow we have been able to reach a balance between the Vet, the owners needs and the pet’s best interest without the ham hands of government being overly involved. Not in all cases of course, but like life, nothing is perfect.
Just a couple of things I would like to add to this excellent article is that no matter how many people come out and vote against Commie Joe Biden, The Democrat fraud machine will be able to halt the vote counting in key areas and bring in the ballots they need. Thanks to mail in voting the Democrats have been able to devise and test a system that all but guarantees victory in every single election. 2020 was the test.
The Republicans at the federal and state levels turned a blind eye; the courts lacked the courage and the integrity to address the issue which was clear cut. And our federal and state law enforcement agencies found themselves inept at even starting an investigation into voter fraud. But, then again, B Hussein Obama initiated that change in federal law enforcement as well as the federal judiciary, again, with full Republican support. We can even look at the Supreme Court and see the lack of courage and integrity due to politics.
The country we knew and loved, and many of us fought for, is in dire straits right now. And I don’t see anyone on the federal or state level that is willing or able to take on this level of corruption.
One last thing: Even if Donald Trump is elected, will he be able to do anything? As one commenter already said, he had the White House and both the House and Senate, and his own party fought him. The swamp is deep, deeper than any of us could possibly have imagined.
We will have to see what happens, but I fear what must happen to correct this destruction of America.
Transgender Surgery Is the Lobotomy of the 21st Century
Commenter: Houmid
Robert Heinlein in his Address to Annapolis cadets defined morality as behavior, “that tends toward survival.” All LGBTQ+ behavior leads to lower than replacement level birthrates, which is why historically, religions condemned such behavior; because it’s anti-life. Transgender surgery removes the capacity for creating and gestating new life, which is about at immoral as you can get short of murder or suicide.
Why are we continuing to parrot this false claim that flies in the face of basic math and the reality of our electoral system?
Look, support the EC on the basis of history, principle, whatever that’s fine but stop lying that it protects the small states from the big states. If that was the point it fails spectacularly.
At the moment every state is beholden to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona
What the electoral college does do is disenfranchise the Republican voters in California that outnumber those in Texas, and the Democrat voters in Texas that outnumber those in New York etc…
Also on the list of sins is the number of electors we have completely distort the representation of the states(along with the entire House of Representatives) and until we see the repeal of the 1929 Permanent Apportionment Act we aren’t even seeing the EC working as it should be
Poll!
