Yes, that is true, it is a legal decision that made abortion illegal, do you have a point?
Yes, I do have a point. My point was to correct an inaccuracy in what you wrote. However, what you write here also is inaccurate, as Roe v. Wade did not make abortion illegal, but quite the reverse.
Since you are talking history here how about research the conditions in this country during the Great Depression and compare that to the conditions today, conditions today that the left wants to compare to the Great Depression. we have laws on the books protecting the American workers
No need for me to research it; it's one of my favorite periods to study thanks to my connection to the Holocaust and the need to understand what was going on in the world to understand the lead-up to European fascism.
Your point is not clear, though. Why are you raising this subject? As far as I can tell, folks on your side have been pressuring to walk back, as far as possible, the protections that arose at the end of the Gilded Age (I think there's an argument to be had that the 1920s were the final chapter in the Gilded Age, with the Depression being the inevitable result of the economics that had bled the lower classes for so long).
It's not just worker protections that are at issue (though those are at issue)--it's the whole approach to economics and society in general. So it's not clear why you're bringing up worker protections just as such.
Not even sure what to say to this other than the reality that the left and liberalism have created dependence due to spending in the name of compassion and out of that compassion has come multi millionaire public servants with career jobs due to the reality that people will never bite the hand that feeds them
1. I'm sure you're not sure what to say about it--but I am, and I've been saying it for a while. Basing a society on the notion that individual freedoms are the primary and only bedrock is foolish--as foolish, I would grant you, as doing away with legally protected rights altogether. We have to recognize that the principles on which society used to be based do not correspond well with reality any longer, and hence we must change, or experience more and more pain as time goes on.
2. It isn't leftist policies that have created this situation--it's plain ol' people using their genitals. Take the house example I used (
your house loses value because
your neighbor is a slob). What brings that about is just you and your neighbor living in close proximity, and when you live in that kind of proximity,
of course what each of you does affects the other, and in some cases, unduly. To say that your neighbor has the right to shower their yard in used diapers is simply foolish, because, through no fault or action of your own, suddenly the value of your investment plummets (not to mention that you and others might pick up some kind of nasty disease). But to impose a law that no longer permits your neighbor to strew dirty diapers in their yard is to
restrict their freedom. If everyone lived ten miles away from everyone else, it wouldn't matter so much--but there are too many people now for that to be viable.
Since you have done all that on your own why are you blaming the President for something he has no authority to do.
He has authority to do all of that, but I do not--I cannot direct the CDC, for example. Nor will any of the governors of the fifty states take my call (probably, anyway)--but they should take the call of the President.
