No I don’t agree. If the situation you mentioned actually happened, I am sure someone would be willing to assist her with the issue. Especially early on. But you chose a pretty extreme example and not at all what represents the actual abortions that are going on in the US today. Typical response really.

I know of several kids that came out of that type of situation. One was a star running back for The Ohio State. He was pretty happy his Mom decided to allow him to live.
Care to talk about all the kids that aren't on that side of your cherry picked examples, those are equally extreme examples too, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, probably don't want to talk about those less than stellar outcomes, I don't like those examples either.

I also disagree that everyone will have a support system to get them to where they need to go. Poverty in this country is real...very real.

You brought up the extreme examples. Good to know you care more about the wildlife of Wyoming than you do Human Beings. Thanks for sharing

I care about quality of life, freedom of choice, and longevity of a free society based on available habitat and resources...not quantity of life forced by politics that are fixated on destroying all that.

It's strange that people believe resources and the growth rate's of the human population are sustainable.

There will be a rude awakening...very rude.

Housing usually lags stocks by 24 to 36 months...I'm about to sell my house for 1 mil more than I bought it in Feb 21...but at least be able to afford to hunt this fall. I hope.

Those capital gains are going to hurt.

Debt free is the way to go. Pile up the cash and it works great.
The hard part is getting there and after what happened in the last two years, its even harder.

Where I live between the combined increase in overall cost of housing and interest rates, the cost of a home has risen 55% in 18 months. Used cars are up ~35% in that same time period. I work for the second biggest employer in the area and we got 5% raises. We also went without raises for two years due to COVID and the crunch it put on us. The median house cost in the US is now over 10X the median income. People cannot manage any of that without going into debt.

We still haven’t dealt with the effect of millions of people not paying rent for a year or however long they were allowed to skip. Commercial real estate is going to see a huge adjustment as well. Add 5 dollar diesel and now I’m reading diesels shortages on top of the other inflation issues we are seeing….yeah I think its going to get ugly.

Pretty tough to do when they can't afford to cross state lines, have no vehicle, no drivers license, and even if you had all that, can't afford $4.40 a gallon fuel to get you there, etc.

Wouldn't you agree?
.I find it interesting you choose an incest victim as the typical person that seeks an abortion. Please tell us which states do not permit abortion if the women is a victim of incest or rape......

They live by monthly affordability, not price tags.

Can’t afford the truck? Extend the loan by a year or two. Can’t afford that purchase? Do it in 4 easy payments.

I believe the 40 yr mortgage is just around the corner to keep the van moving along.

People are financially illiterate like never before.

They have 100 year mortgages in Japan. You pass them down to your children. It's how they can afford to pay $1 million for a 1000 sq ft house. I only got 5 years left on mine.

You do know we're not reproducing at a rate near high enough to replace the current U.S. Population, right?

I have a good idea, let's force a 15 year old girl, knocked up by her uncle, to have the baby...that should help with the formula shortage.

Oh wait...that's what we're about to do.

Sounds "reasonable".
Actually far from true but ya'll got to sensationilze things in order to create fear. Protests at judges homes to impact judicial decisions are illegal so the current illegitimate admin is complicit in that crime by encouraging them.

So you're saying 330 million people is sustainable in the long-term?

You do realize that there are more people alive on earth right now, than have ever died? That's sustainable?

You do realize, 24 hours from now, there will be another 200,000 people on planet earth. That's sustainable?

Yeah, sure...and before you say that other countries growth rates have no impact on the US, save it, I know better.
