At first read I disagree with it.

For minors, this is protecting those that cannot protect themselves. As a society we either have to say we are going to protect kids or we are not. Lets stop cherrypicking the when and why's. Just my opinion

Isn’t this where a conservative comes in says it’s the parent’s decision not the government’s to reveal their child’s medical information?
I can remember when republicans hated “Big Government.”

The man who can’t debate and has a history of not showing up for debates claims he isn’t showing up for the Republican debates because he wasn’t consulted on debates he was never going to attend.
Largely because of trump The Republican National Committee voted unanimously last year to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates, saying the group that has run the debates for decades was biased and refused to enact reforms.
There’s just no pleasing a whiny little b**ch.

Humans are weird. They want everything to be better and yet they are self destructive. The last thing they want is someone restricting their "GOD given right" to pump out babies. And yet population control is the highest form of self protection and common sense. Surely the capitalists would fight it tooth and nail. Can't curb consumer numbers.

All once again comes down to greed.

I believe humans are greedy, charitable, right, wrong, compassionate, indifferent, constructive, destructive...

Good behavior and bad behavior are choices. Choices that are made with emotion may be right or may be wrong. Choices made with reason is more likely to be associated with good. Truth is not a constant but the more we reason with truth the better choices we make and therefore we get closer to good or "right".

I am not sure what a "God given right" is but I think it has something to do with what a male human wrote down on paper from hearsay or emotion many years removed from the actual event and has more to do with faith than reality. I do believe that Faith has value and requires both reason and emotion. I also believe Faith can lead to destructive behavior and is not always "good".

The bottom line is "politics" is generally destructive and "civil conversation" is constructive. Humans do want to be better and as the song says "I have a long ways to go and a short time to get there"

Bob Bob if you're serious bring up the first topic and lets work through it.

I think Bob is serious. I think you not so much but you can prove me wrong. You ready to play ball? Lets start with Fox News. I know for a fact that human beings will believe what they want to believe. Do you believe that Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Ron DeSantis is remotely interested in anything but power? If you can defend the behaviors of those men then I know you are not serious.

Your problem is you cannot be honest with yourself

How honest are you about yourself? No really

I’ll need more than one article to give a final opinion on this one.
