I was shocked to learn that 6 states and DC allow abortions at ANY point during pregnancy. My view is that during the 1st month an abortion is not ideal but I'm prepared to live with with it. My mother in law was told that her youngest son was going to be born extremely handicapped and one doctor recommended an abortion. My father in law went ballistic and said that this baby was his son and if he had to carry him on his back until the day he died then so be it. He was born with no problems and so his middle name is Lukki.
sheehan1able dude I totally didn't even think about that. he beat them to the punch 4 years early by nixing a free trade agreement. meanwhile the Republican states sever their access to collective bargaining rendering their power to an all time low. now that's how you play 4 dimensional chess
But let's also be honest about this whole trade deal because it is not just an opening of market's their are several provisions that could create a disaster for Asia and the Americas just as bad as the EU has been for Europe. While I agree with Ben 90% of the time he is white washing this issue. This wasn't just a trade deal it would also create several globalist agencies. Such as the head Commission that would hold power over sovereign governments and it would be able to draw up new provisions/requirements/ punishments at will and none of the Countries have any recourse to reverse or repeal actions taken by the commission. While I think most of the Unions are nothing more than shadows of their past selves and only care about money. This deal was bad news we just need a straight up trade deal with all the countries with provisions that we can agree upon and if you break from the agreement all the countries embargo and freeze your countries assets until you fill the rules.
Quinn - thank God there are people like you who are prepared to judge Trump objectively. Neither blind hatred or worship will help anyone, in the long term. I am not American, I am British, and I have personally been very impressed with Donald Trump as America's new president. Time will be his best judge.
Barry Dillon. Press reflection is largely very negative. Alas, most people are blindly influenced by that. So even people around me, people who I would normally associate as being reasonably conservative, uniformly loathe him. If the subject is ever raised, I am literally the only person who is giving him the thumbs up at present. It is sad, but indicative of the power of the tabloids and broadcasting media.
*+Mr. White* Incorrect. It would have had it went through. It was never finalized or passed. The US was still in negotiations. Trump walked out on those negotiations. It still exists in South East Asia. We just won't be part of any of it. ____________________________________ *+Waluigi*, it would have allowed untariffed exports from China and other South East Asian countries. Anything imported from those signed countries would be untaxed. It would have damaged our economy by undercutting our businesses. Labor in China is already cheap because of Socialist control of businesses there. You've read the stories of Chinese workers being underpaid and overworked? Their products would ultimately be cheaper than anything produced here in America, where tons of regulations, pensions, minimum wages, protections, taxes, and liabilities exist. The Cost of Goods Sold is ultimately more expensive if produced here in the US than in China. All of those aforementioned things in US business must be paid for. In order to make a profit, the cost must be transferred into the price of the product. You think people will buy a $30 Steamer made in the US or a $20 Steamer Made in China? Obviously they'll pick the cheaper one. Those American businesses would either have to transfer production to China in order to compete and fire its workers, create a lower quality item and risk their reputation, or continue on and risk going into debt before ultimately become defunct. The same would go for any other foreign import not in the former proposed TPP Deal. So anything Germany, France, or Italy trying to sell to us would experience the same ordeal. They'd be competing with cheap labor and completely untaxed exports. NAFTA is similar, except it is signed by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. To further exemplify you have any old VHS tapes lying around, you'll probably see they're imprinted "Made in Mexico". This was before, of course, China began to bloom and undercut them. I hope that helps clarify some things.
^Corporations could bully governments into changing their laws and/or sue nations for billions of dollars for breaking the rules found in the agreement. It would be like EU, no sovereignty, only a false one, hence Brexit from EU. TH-cam videos can better explain the TPP than any commenter can. They have graphics, and hopefully sources as well.
I don't know why people like Ben are so concerned with the whole "Republican Party" thing. Just because something is an ideal of the party doesn't mean that it is the optimal solution. American strength and values are my focus, not the ideals of a political party. While I agee with 99% of what Ben says, I don't know why he is so concerned with fitting the exact lines of the Republican Party which is not necessarily the exact outline of political and moral righteousness.
Michael Shipman he's not Rockefeller republican. He's anti establishment and actually is similar to Rand Paul, but he's nothing like the Rockefeller republicans
How can anyone really claim to know? Seriously, Trump was/is a highly successful businessman and now a politician and at least one common denominator between those two ventures, is you tell no one everything.
IDK if you meant that as a joke (since this is from yesterday). In case you're not using sarcasm, he has signed 5 executive orders today, two of which opening pipelines (one 1179 miles, one 1172 miles).
It was a joke, lol, meaning that if Trump is accomplishing this much on monday, imagine how much he will accomplish on Tuesday. At least that was the context I was shooting for lol
Thanks to the protesters, once pipeline resumes it will be built not by forign workers and not with forign steel but with American workers and American steel. Thanks protesters!!!
@botabart10, Jewish led Bulsheviks in Germany promoting communism (1920?), also [POSSIBLY, as in rumoured] undermining by the Jewish elite (powers) to have the central powers lose WWI striking a deal with Great Britain for Jews to have Palestine and create Israel.
Hmmm, taking his press secretary's words of uncertainty as meaning "no" is a bit of reach right Ben? Why not wait until they say "No we are not going to move the embassy" or "No we are not going to roll back those executive orders", this seems really nit picky on finding bad stuff that hasn't even happened yet
No, he's not a kiss ass. He should only stand with truth and not Trump. Welcome to the free thinking society of political sceptics. Trump's biggest sales pitch was on immigration and now he changed his mind.
Let's say you are a large kid in a high school and you would like to trade lunches with the other kids, all smaller than you. Do you think you would get a better deal by cornering each kid 1 by 1 and negotiating or by calling everyone into a room together and finding agreement amongst all parties? Your deal is going to include numerous provisions and sections that do not even concern you. Your relative advantage due to your size will be easily negated by the collective voices of several smaller kids encouraging each other.
+illijah Actually its the exact opposite. The Smaller economy benefits much more than the larger, in that the smaller economy gets an [essentially] limitless market too export into, while the larger economy gets only a small [percentage] increase in its production due to the small economies inability to absorb imports. Its easily demonstrated graphically. Googly be thy friend.
Dude, this is just me, but even an accident would be a blessing to me. If I got a girl pregnant it would change my plans but still, I would be a dad. That's one of the best things in life. People need to stop saying it's not a kid. Come together, raise the kid, and be GOOD citizens, folks. Having a kid will not completely alter your life.
Free trade with countries that have few environmental regulations, lower salaries, no respect for patents, different government type, must be reviewed. A quick judiciary process for patents infringement is a necessity. TPP included 12 very different countries and sharia based governments (brunei), it was really bad. Bad Shapiro.
Planned parenthood recognizes it as an unborn baby with the ultrasound image, why can't most Americans see the same. The ultrasounds are here to stay. It's a women's right to know about her child's development.
I think it's great that Ben has this good Trump and bad Trump segment. I can't stand liberal media anymore but I still want to keep an open mind and be informed with the good/bad things Trump is doing.
"I know there are a lot of people on our side who care more about winning than they do about basic principles, but the fact is that winning requires you to win on the behalf of a principle." It's statements like these, and the preceding analysis, that allow me to have faith in future of the western world and give me ample reason to continue engaging in your content in an effort to deepen and broaden my political views. Thank you for not just being honest about the on balance state of your party's mindset, but also for prescribing a corrective measure that is salient in both reasoning and values.
Yes, most people are pro-life because you've moved the goalposts, and are now saying anyone who thinks abortion should be limited to the first trimester are "pro-life". That's not traditionally how that has worked.
Some of the "bad Trump" things may be more him trying to forge coalitions with centrists and not cast himself as a hardliner. He does have a lot of people to console while also building up the nation's strength. Not an excuse, just a thought. Coalitions are a linchpin of strategy.
As much as I appreciate the work you do Ben, I have to disagree with you on your stance on the TPP. Being competitive and having free trade is not by definition, allowing every company in the United States to undercut the middle class, and have everything manufactured in third world countries, by slave wages. There's a reason people think republican are heartless. This is not a very wise philosophy in my humble opinion.
Free trade is far too complicated for anyone who isn't an expert to speak on with such authority, let alone laypeople. 99% of people have no fucking clue what's best regarding trade agreements. They don't even understand what TPP is.
How does the American worker lose, and the American consumer win? That makes no sense. If the American worker loses, we all lose. I don't care if my microwave is $10 cheaper if everyone is a meth head and unemployed in my community.
I think it makes sense for a lot of people. I'm not in a union, not in manufacturing, etc, and I live in a pretty safe 8000 population town. Jobs going oversees does not effect me as a consumer, but it does effect people who've lost those jobs oversees. And, I get a lot of cheap stuff.
Trump can't sign all the executive orders all at once... give the guy sometime, if not he will run out of things to sing in a couple of months. he's doing it in a smart way, he's giving you a little every day ...
I feel like a lot of people are pro choice because it's seen as taboo in my country to be pro life. Without the oppressive liberal culture I think prolife arguments just straight up make more sense. Even if not banning all abortion, but just past first trimester.
I was shocked to learn that taxpayers where funding abortions for people in other countries. I was also horrified to learn what planned parenthood was actually about. Whether you are pro-life a pro-choice it should not be up to the taxpayer to pay for women to have abortions. I am pro-life and I was horrified to learn that our taxpayer moneygoes to Planned Parenthood to begin with I did not know this.
Nope, completely disagree with you on 'free trade'. TPP was extremely bad for multiple reasons. Multilateral agreements will never work well for all parties involved which will inevitably bring about more bureaucratic bullshit. Bilateral agreements are a much smarter move. Let China compete all it wants, but when other countries see the good results, they will follow suit.
"You can make your own judgement on what you think of trump, you're an adult" nah I'm just some thirteen year old kid that wanted to watch you after you became a meme and ended up binge watching a lot of videos of you cause you make good arguments 😂
Gotta say it: Of course they want a cut in regulations. They're already dodging most of the taxes, while the regulations make it harder - if not impossible - to get something new, something more done.
I like Ben's style. He was very against Trump for President, but he has accepted it, has moved on, and does us a great favor by helping us wade through the tripe the MSM throws at us.
Ben love your show. I wouldn't defund planned parenthood, but make sure no tax dollars fund abortion unless a mother's life is in danger. Sex education and free condoms are still a good thing.
That's already supposed to be the policy, but it doesn't work in practice. PP has expenses, like anyone else. And they say that the govt money they get goes towards those expenses, and not towards abortion. However, it's just a shell game. PP takes govt money and pays their non-abortion expenses, but then uses the money they WOULD have used towards those expenses and they use it for abortions. No really difference to tax payer funded abortions.
Don Burke Most of what planned parenthood does, are arbotions. What they do to make it seem like it's not, is that they count all the individual procedures prior to discussing an abortion, as individual services. So like the check ups, and the ultra sound, they would be considered two separate visits. If you call the clinics to see about prenatal care, they will most likely tell you that they don't do prenatal, they do abortions
I agree with you 100% Ben, but it's only his first Monday, he did a lot of good, just give him a little time to work on what he's working on, and I bet he'll fulfill his promises.
I agree with you Ben, but if Trump allowed TPP to continue the Rust-belt Democrats would certainly not vote for him in 2020. I will be worried if he keeps making protectionist promises to unions, but he has to keep the promise he made and it's a small price to pay to secure the presidency in 4 years. Meanwhile, America is being made great again.
I agree with most of what Ben says here other than when it comes to TPP, any trade agreement that gives corporations the power to sue an elected government which imposes legislation that directly affects its ability to ability to make profit, is inherently a terrible thing for any sovereign nation.
I'm pro choice, but agree 100% with de-funding foreign abortions AND planned parenthood. Reduce the incentive to get pregnant out of wedlock, and if you do, pay for your own damn abortion.
I saw my niece's ultrasound and can't think of a more beautiful and lovely miracle. I used to be a feminist and a leftist, I supported early abortion within the first few weeks, I am glad I woke up and cannot believe I held such cancerous beliefs in the past.
The CDC needs to be at the climate change conference to talk about what pathogens might thrive if global temperatures rise. Some diseases are very temperature sensitive.
Free trade isn't fair if the playing field isn't level. When people living in poverty are willing to work for what isn't even close to the minimum wage in America, the incentives for corporations moving all their manufacturing oversea is far too great. Asking an Americans to work for the same wages that a Mexican or Chinese worker is willing to work for is ridicules.
While I'm generally against abortion too, I think I have to clarify something here. Whether or not a fetus has a working heart (or lungs or other organs) does not determine if they're sentient beings. That is determined by the brain. Scientists agree that fetuses of before about 24 weeks of gestation are considered not to be sentient. Whether organs have already formed or not doesn't determine if the fetus can be considered to have rights. The fact of the matter is, the science says that fetuses of the age specified above are considered to be extensions of the mother's body rather than separate human life-forms. Therefore, fetuses of the aforementioned developmental stage do not have the right to life.
He means he's the type of republican that wouldn't mind seeing the screws get put to the little guy as long as he benefits from it, and he calls that capitalism.
And don't forget, the Mexico City policy has nothing to do with pro-life or pro-choice in America. It literally has to deal with us sending money to foreign governments to support their PP and abortions. We should let other countries deal with that issue and whether they want to flip the bill for it.
Trump!!!did more than Obama had done in 8 years 😂 🇺🇸
trrrruuue
David M and in less than a week
Now that is a true fact.
taylorac2 thanks 😂👌
David M yea, but the TPP should be re-negotiated, not destroyed
When is Ben Shapiro going to run for president? 2024?
Galactus I hope so
Galactus just imagine the debate stage ....oh my
I'd rather have Ann Coulter
With Crowder or Lauren Southern as VP.
He'd be an AWESOME president!!!

we need more stories like this. Thank you

Esoteric Jahanism your an idiot

Great story.
I wasn't a huge trump fan but so far he's been good

Getting us out of the TPP was a "Good Trump"
TPP has been crippling the U.S Ben. I'm surprised you don't know much more about this issue.
Walter White Can you explain how?
Waluigi McSpermDump it's like nafta times 10. It's supposed to help competition with China but it's not really that. Go look into it.
*+Mr. White* Incorrect. It would have had it went through. It was never finalized or passed. The US was still in negotiations.
Trump walked out on those negotiations. It still exists in South East Asia. We just won't be part of any of it.
____________________________________
*+Waluigi*, it would have allowed untariffed exports from China and other South East Asian countries. Anything imported from those signed countries would be untaxed. It would have damaged our economy by undercutting our businesses.

His channel's funding could be one of the reasons
It's nice to see some other views, I didn't realize so many others felt the same way!
That's "President Trump's First Monday..."
I've never heard a mother or father say I wish we would have aborted !!!!
Brian Pruett hang around a lot of humorless mom's and dad's do ya??
Brian Pruett I've never heard rape victim say "I want this unintentional baby"
Rape victims can take a morning after pill?
Fsasa Sababa pills dont work like that, you alreadt have to be in a stable pill schedule before the rape
Goblinego Would you please google 'morning after pill' before you talk more?
Wow...... Whats he going to do on Tuesday..
IDK if you meant that as a joke (since this is from yesterday). In case you're not using sarcasm, he has signed 5 executive orders today, two of which opening pipelines (one 1179 miles, one 1172 miles).
It was a joke, lol, meaning that if Trump is accomplishing this much on monday, imagine how much he will accomplish on Tuesday.

One of my favorite Jews.
one of my favorite political commentators , who happens to be jewish
He's up there with any Jew who hunted Nazis after WWII in my book.
Kit Ingoldby Exactly.
Also, removing his kippa lessens his Jewish powers. Little known fact.
Are you telling me that if I steal his kippah he'll have problems acquiring shekels at such rapid rate and will hve to resort to even more ads?
@botabart10, Jewish led Bulsheviks in Germany promoting communism (1920?), also [POSSIBLY, as in rumoured] undermining by the Jewish elite (powers) to have the central powers lose WWI striking a deal with Great Britain for Jews to have Palestine and create Israel.

He has to
Find something I guess because these first two days trump
Has been music to my ears!!!!
Plus, he also has to think about his quota of content in order to meet deadlines with his sponsors so of course he's going to get a little nitpicky
What's the fucking point?
Ben Shapiro alongside with Peter Schiff are only I know who cover Trump fairly. Not delusional about him, nor biased.
Ben Shapiro will officially be my voice of reason during this administration. Keep up the good work sir!
Disappointed that he didn't revoke the immigration executive orders. Maybe he's biding time before he gives it the axe.
Your picking at straws Ben. Trump has kept his promises and produced in record time. You've got one leg on the Trump train. Get your ass up here 😜
That's what I'm talking about!
Ben's on the intellectually honest train which makes it impossible for him to be on the Trump train.
No he's not. Stop acting like Trump is resistant to making errors. You only make yourself seem blind if you don't want to hear the truth.
No, he's not a kiss ass. He should only stand with truth and not Trump. Welcome to the free thinking society of political sceptics. Trump's biggest sales pitch was on immigration and now he changed his mind.
Everyone on "the Trump train" just agrees with everything Trump does and says just because Trump does and says it. Ben looks at things objectively.
great show..very balanced view of Trump
Just because they might call deals like NAFTA or TPP "free trade" doesn't make them free trade, Ben. They're far from being free trade.
He does want free trade, he just wants to keep it in the States. He's against the globalization part of the TPP primarily, not the free trade part.
Ben Shapiro 2024
1:30 "without the torture of seeing a baby on an ultrasound screen."
The abortionist admitted that it's a baby.
Now that the election is over I feel like I can go back to enjoying Ben Shapiro. Don't agree with it all, but good analysis.
Thankyou Ben, for staying true.
Ben is not as strong on the global economics front. Bilateral trade agreements are much better for large and powerful parties like the US.
illijah How so?
Let's say you are a large kid in a high school and you would like to trade lunches with the other kids, all smaller than you. Do you think you would get a better deal by cornering each kid 1 by 1 and negotiating or by calling everyone into a room together and finding agreement amongst all parties?
Your deal is going to include numerous provisions and sections that do not even concern you. Your relative advantage due to your size will be easily negated by the collective voices of several smaller kids encouraging each other.
FireSide Chats u make sense sir
+illijah
Actually its the exact opposite. The Smaller economy benefits much more than the larger, in that the smaller economy gets an [essentially] limitless market too export into, while the larger economy gets only a small [percentage] increase in its production due to the small economies inability to absorb imports.

Great show, cleverly slipped the trigger warning in before Good/Bad Trump lol. Thanks.
When did killing babies and hanging them from meat hooks become immoral and wrong. Did i need to ask this question.
Shapiro is a real class act. Everything about the show is quality, even the stuff he advertises.
Hey we aren't all adults here! Recognize the younger generation listening to your podcast! :D Sixteen and constanty listening to your show, love it!
Save the baby Humans!!

congratulations for the new baby Ben!!
TRUMP was Huge for boarder security today.
Damn huge.
HOLY SHIT BRO WHEN I WAS LIKE 3 MONTHS OLD, THEY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY HEART!!!
Free trade is far too complicated for anyone who isn't an expert to speak on with such authority, let alone laypeople. 99% of people have no fucking clue what's best regarding trade agreements. They don't even understand what TPP is.
I love when men defend women and life. You can actually call them "men". Go Ben.

I don't always agree with Ben, but he is one of the best voices for conservatism ever.
Legacy Box sounds like a great idea. Otherwise you have 8mm, super8, vhs & what have you, with no way to access them.
Should add a running counter on Good Trump/Bad Trump. This way we have science on whether he was a good president.
Women scream about having a choice...the choice is to keep your legs closed, and if not, deal with the consequences of your actions like an adult.
I feel like a lot of people are pro choice because it's seen as taboo in my country to be pro life. Without the oppressive liberal culture I think prolife arguments just straight up make more sense. Even if not banning all abortion, but just past first trimester.
I was shocked to learn that taxpayers where funding abortions for people in other countries. I was also horrified to learn what planned parenthood was actually about.

I am pro-life and I was horrified to learn that our taxpayer moneygoes to Planned Parenthood to begin with I did not know this.
Nope, completely disagree with you on 'free trade'. TPP was extremely bad for multiple reasons. Multilateral agreements will never work well for all parties involved which will inevitably bring about more bureaucratic bullshit. Bilateral agreements are a much smarter move. Let China compete all it wants, but when other countries see the good results, they will follow suit.
if most of your business is in America and you do it in some haven then I can't agree with you. it's like freeloading.
In 8 to 12 years will you run for President. I think you're the most qualified person I've seen around the internet.
"You can make your own judgement on what you think of trump, you're an adult" nah I'm just some thirteen year old kid that wanted to watch you after you became a meme and ended up binge watching a lot of videos of you cause you make good arguments 😂
13:20 Ann Coulter must be pissed.
Holy shit, I had no idea that there was a movement to ban ultrasounds... insane
Gotta say it: Of course they want a cut in regulations. They're already dodging most of the taxes, while the regulations make it harder - if not impossible - to get something new, something more done.
I like Ben's style. He was very against Trump for President, but he has accepted it, has moved on, and does us a great favor by helping us wade through the tripe the MSM throws at us.
Ben love your show. I wouldn't defund planned parenthood, but make sure no tax dollars fund abortion unless a mother's life is in danger. Sex education and free condoms are still a good thing.
That's already supposed to be the policy, but it doesn't work in practice.
PP has expenses, like anyone else. And they say that the govt money they get goes towards those expenses, and not towards abortion.
However, it's just a shell game. PP takes govt money and pays their non-abortion expenses, but then uses the money they WOULD have used towards those expenses and they use it for abortions.
No really difference to tax payer funded abortions.
Don Burke Most of what planned parenthood does, are arbotions. What they do to make it seem like it's not, is that they count all the individual procedures prior to discussing an abortion, as individual services. So like the check ups, and the ultra sound, they would be considered two separate visits. If you call the clinics to see about prenatal care, they will most likely tell you that they don't do prenatal, they do abortions
Im not even American, and I want Ben to be the next president :)
I agree with you 100% Ben, but it's only his first Monday, he did a lot of good, just give him a little time to work on what he's working on, and I bet he'll fulfill his promises.
How dare we humanize humans!
Please do a video on evalion!
I agree with you Ben, but if Trump allowed TPP to continue the Rust-belt Democrats would certainly not vote for him in 2020. I will be worried if he keeps making protectionist promises to unions, but he has to keep the promise he made and it's a small price to pay to secure the presidency in 4 years. Meanwhile, America is being made great again.
To be honest the main thing I don't usually like about the GOP is a hawkish foreign policy.
Has it been a week yet tho? We have four years. Anything can change.
I tried posting this to Facebook- let's see if they let it stay.
any particular regulations?
You need to get the wall up first so they can't come back so easily
TPP is never helping anyone but the ones who put it in place - The ones, individual, not the countries or the people.
if the car manufacturing jobs came back, would they still be unionized?
I mean this seriously Mr. Shapiro. You should run for public office.
I agree with most of what Ben says here other than when it comes to TPP, any trade agreement that gives corporations the power to sue an elected government which imposes legislation that directly affects its ability to ability to make profit, is inherently a terrible thing for any sovereign nation.
I could have swore there were reports this morning on construction being verified in Jerusalem.
I'm pro choice, but agree 100% with de-funding foreign abortions AND planned parenthood.
Reduce the incentive to get pregnant out of wedlock, and if you do, pay for your own damn abortion.
I saw my niece's ultrasound and can't think of a more beautiful and lovely miracle.
I used to be a feminist and a leftist, I supported early abortion within the first few weeks, I am glad I woke up and cannot believe I held such cancerous beliefs in the past.
I think the TPP is crippling the U.S. economy. Everyday I'm reminded that voting for Trump was a great idea.
Is there anyway to watch your podcasts live through mobile phone? Is there an app? I have an android.
Ben:"you're an adult"
Me:I'm 16
Heartbeat by week 3, Ben, not wk 6
Hummmm, Legacy box cool
How you disliked those unconstitutional executive actions until it was convenient to your ideology...
the TTP isn't about free trade Ben. its about multi national companies by passing your sovereignty to sue you for obstructing their profits
Kinda harsh for Day 1 Ben. Did you get your degrees in a single day?
You should always do "Bad Trump" first.
The CDC needs to be at the climate change conference to talk about what pathogens might thrive if global temperatures rise. Some diseases are very temperature sensitive.
But that is one of those things he said he would do for us. also, maybe this is his method of negotiating??
No Ben you throw out the tpp and start over!
Don't think he realises you can be Right leaning but still be pro choice.
Free trade isn't fair if the playing field isn't level. When people living in poverty are willing to work for what isn't even close to the minimum wage in America, the incentives for corporations moving all their manufacturing oversea is far too great. Asking an Americans to work for the same wages that a Mexican or Chinese worker is willing to work for is ridicules.
Nationalism is great.
I have to say I dont agree with the stopping of federal funding to planned parenthood. The thing is abortions arent the only thing they do
While I'm generally against abortion too, I think I have to clarify something here. Whether or not a fetus has a working heart (or lungs or other organs) does not determine if they're sentient beings. That is determined by the brain. Scientists agree that fetuses of before about 24 weeks of gestation are considered not to be sentient. Whether organs have already formed or not doesn't determine if the fetus can be considered to have rights. The fact of the matter is, the science says that fetuses of the age specified above are considered to be extensions of the mother's body rather than separate human life-forms. Therefore, fetuses of the aforementioned developmental stage do not have the right to life.
Benji is pro TPP? What did he mean by this?
He means he's the type of republican that wouldn't mind seeing the screws get put to the little guy as long as he benefits from it, and he calls that capitalism.
And don't forget, the Mexico City policy has nothing to do with pro-life or pro-choice in America. It literally has to deal with us sending money to foreign governments to support their PP and abortions. We should let other countries deal with that issue and whether they want to flip the bill for it.
dude.. give the man some damn time.. people being mad coz he ain't doing what you want right off the bat doesn't mean it's never going to happen..
