Wait, I thought we didn't legislate morality?

Today, as  the Senate voted to support a filibuster on post 20 week abortions, we heard a new argument today.

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) joined with 45 of her peers in the Senate to support the filibuster against the bill to ban ELECTIVE abortions after 20 weeks.  Did I mention that she is one of the favorites for the 2020 presidential campaign?  She said it was "Dangerous and Immoral"?  I thought that we didn't legislate morality.  Well, Senator Harris, you are all for our standing in the world, right?  Globalism, and all that BS?  Well, here is the list of countries that have elective abortion after 20 weeks.  It is pretty long:

 North Korea
Vietnam
China
Singapore
Canada
Netherlands
United States

I guess it wasn't as long as I thought. 

Rather than list all of those who voted in the MINORITY (filibuster=bad) to block this bill, you can presume that with the following exceptions, Democrats supported genocide and Republicans were against genocide.

 Democrats AGAINST genocide
Manchin,      WV
Connelly       IN
Casey            PA

 Republicans FOR genocide
Collins         ME
Murkowski   AK

Another point of reference.  Roe vs. Wade, as bad of law as it is, only guaranteed the right to kill a baby in the first trimester.  Right now, Roe is the law of the land.  And getting into the weeds of rape and incest are not an appropriate discussion at the level of making law.  Either legal or not.

Look.  I am pro-life.  Period.  I DO NOT condemn the woman that has chosen to undergo this procedure.  I am not a woman and can't know what is in their mind and heart at the time.  I can't judge what would persuade a doctor to perform these procedures in the last weeks of a pregnancy.  I won't even judge those politicians who are so beholden to their racism that they have to vote the way they do.  But every nation in the world, with the above exceptions, bans elective procedures after 20 weeks, (some as early as 12 weeks)

This law is not controversial, and it had a majority of support.

The party of the Klan continued its legacy tonight.  They supported slavery under the morality banner, as well as Jim Crow laws.  I guess it is no wonder that they are flying the morality banner for genocide.  Or abortion, if you are uncomfortable with genocide.

I guess the argument isn't really that new.

Civil Marriage: An Institution whose time has past?

Image
  Abstract              Marriage law is very much in the news. Court rulings have dramatically redefined marital law in the last fifteen years. Even church associations are not immune from this shift. But was it necessary, and is it the way forward? The question researched in this paper is the impact of attempting to codify into law what has traditionally been a religious rite, both on the institution of marriage itself, but on individual liberties as well. The paper will progress through the history of marital law and the rational used to establish those laws. I will demonstrate a cause and effect in redefining marriage and advance some statistics regarding these laws, and conclude with information about how, from a legal view, the traditional definition of marriage can be reinstated. Keywords:  same sex marriage, religious freedom, cohabitation, civil partnerships, redefining marriage Redefining Marriage through the...

Rand showed the way for small business. Is it time to act?

 As Democrats and Republicans in Blue states seek to consolidate power by shutting down small businesses, in the "Name" of COVID prevention, one must ask, is it time? Businesses, small businesses, are fighting against all odds to stay afloat. They are fighting and losing. But these are not impersonal entities, these mom and pop businesses are the lives of those who have built them. They have poured their lives into their businesses, and like any good parent, seeing their kid in the hospital will do anything to keep them alive. They will work themselves to death, just for their child to have one more breath. Those who see this pandemic and feel that it isn't the killer, but capitalism, are cheering the death along. They have nightly fantasies of Cloward and Piven, and the collapse of the economy. What even they need, though, are producers. They need people to continue the fight, to provide the last drop of fuel to propel them forward, even for just one more day. The powers...

The Brownback Effect, and why Donald Trump and those associated with cannot win in 2024.

Image
 As it stands, Donald Trump is likely to win the Republican nomination for President in 2024. Even Governor Ron DeSantis (FL) likely cannot beat him. He cannot win the general. A bold statement, though if thought about seems perfectly logical. As a reminder, it was when the Republicans in the Senate caved in December of 2015 on an Omnibus Spending Bill (sound familiar?) That on this very blog, it was predicted that not only would Donald Trump win the GOP nomination (The Lib supported at the time, Senator Rand Paul, then Ted Cruz, Gary Johnson (L), before supporting Trump), but that he would win the General Election. Sam Brownback served as an Ambassador in the Trump Administration, after being on the outs in Topeka as Governor. He had successfully been elected to the 2nd District in the House, moved to the Senate when Dole resigned to run for President, then ran as governor. He proposed significant tax cuts, which the state house went along with, but school districts were not prepa...
