“When will this country stop trying to solve every problem, especially those related to gun violence, with more guns? I will never support increased lawful distribution of firearms. Anyone who's anti-military is basically anti violence, so I don't know where your logic is here. The again, do I ever? …”
“A person's Constitutional rights only extend to the point of violating someone else's. For example, you have the right to bear arms (whether you should or not is another conversation), but if you use a gun to kill someone, you go to jail. Using the rights given to you in the Constitution to violate,…”
“Currently, federal law prevents any public or federal funding from going towards any organization that provides abortion services. This law should be repealed; abortion is healthcare, and all citizens deserve equal access to affordable healthcare. This bill is ridiculous; no public money is funding …”
“Conservatives are all about state's rights most of the time - in fact, it's almost all you hear from them lately. They love to claim states have the right to display the confederate flag everywhere possible, or deny same sex couples the right to marry. And then, as soon as a state exercises it's leg…”
“Really? People in opposition to this refer to "consent" and "healthy relationships" as though they are absurd liberal concepts. Actually, teaching and understating consent is vital to a culture free from sexual assault and abuse. These classes could save students from future sexual assault, domestic…”
“"Kids will be kids" is not a valid justification for allowing young children who already face discrimination, harassment, violence, and abuse from the rest of the world - and maybe even at home - to be bullied by other students. We can't tolerate this disgusting behavior. If someone's sexual or roma…”
“This is disgusting. We can't keep passing laws that control women's bodies. That's what this is: it's a bunch of men sitting around and writing down what they think women should be able to do with their own bodies. And this bill is additionally classist and racist, since the people it would affect w…”
“If you don't believe in certain medical procedures, like sex reassignment surgery, or vaccination, or abortion, maybe you should consider a career in a different field. Maybe you should go back to school, because science, history, and ethics classes could resolve all of these so called moral conflic…”
“I could give you a million examples of why pregnant minors may need to terminate their pregnancy without the involvement of their parents. But I don't need to. Because, as with all conversations about abortion, there is only one bottom line: it is their body. Regardless of their parent's political o…”
“Most people in prisons are there for drug related crimes. These crimes are non-violent, and people arrested for such activity need to be sent to rehabilitation centers, not stuffed into a cell and treated like animals, only to reach the end of their sentence and return to the same lifestyle they had…”
“If anyone disagrees with this bill, you're racist. Plain and simple. This bill protects people of color, specifically black and Latino men, from discrimination and violence at the hands of the police. Cops kill an average of 928 people every year. Out of those 928, 40-50% are people of color. Compar…”
“First of all, let's make one thing very clear. This is not about religion. If you bring your religious views into a discussion about basic human rights, your opinion is automatically invalid. See, we have this concept in America, called separation of church and state. This is in the constitution. So…”
