Guns and abortions


If you don't like the direction where conservatives are going, you have an easy option: vote Democrat. Conversely, if you don't like the direction where liberals are going, you have an easy option: vote Republican. Free your mind, free your vote. Vote for whatever it is you believe in.

The conservative majority in the U.S. Supreme Court is on a roll. This week the Court ruled in favor of gun rights, and ruled against abortion rights. Conservatives are pro gun rights, and against abortion rights. Liberals tend to be against guns, and tend to be pro-abortion. 

This is not about right vs wrong. Those are labels. What for some people may be right may be wrong for others, and vice versa. We live in a diverse nation and should be proud of our wide and strong diversity of thought. 

Diversity of thought

Conservatives look to history and tradition to decide the course of their lives. Progressives look to modernity and trends to set the course of their lives. Conservatives want to go back, and progressives want to move forward. Conservatives believe that they or their "kind" were better off in the past, and that they will be better off in the future if things go back to how they used to be. Progressives believe that they will be better off in the future if things change or move away from how they were in the past.

Whether you prefer going back or moving forward is your personal preference. You are entitled to your own believes. This is a still a free country. No one should force you to believe anything. You should be free to set your own course. By the way, you are also entitled to change course or direction at any time and as many times you want in life. That is what freedom is all about.

Guns and Abortions 

Progressives believe that our Nation has a gun problem because we are using old gun laws to address current problems. The people who voted for the Second Amendment in 1791 lived a different reality. Likewise, the Constitution is silent about abortion rights because no one back in 1787 could have envision the American society of 2022. 

The "primitive" white folks of the 1700s decided for all us living in 2022.  For sure, some old ideas work and some don't. Some ideas need to be adapted to changed realities. It is for the people to vote, and make the necessary changes and amendments happen.

Abortion is a winning issue for Democrats

Abortions are the most powerful political tool available to Democrats. Every American who stands for women rights can become a Democratic voter. Everyone who believes in the rights of women to control and regulate their own bodies can vote Democrat. 

No one has the right to force a pregnancy on an American woman. Neither the government nor the church can force unwanted pregnancies on women.

The "moral" arguments against abortions are misguided. By definition, an unborn human embryo is not yet a born person. A seed is not a tree. The embryo does not feel any pain under anesthesia. Religious arguments are irrelevant because religion cannot be imposed on non-believers. 

Food for thought. What do you think?

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Democracy is better than war

Politics is the best sport on Earth. Democracy is not perfect; it's simply a substitute for war. For democracy to work, the loser of the contest must accept defeat. All sitting presidents of the United States who have lost elections while in power have accepted defeat except one, Trump. Mounting evidence against Trump coming from the January 6th Hearings seems to indicate that Trump planned a violent coup to stay in power even after knowing that he had lost the elections. If that is the case, Trump should be indicted and prosecuted to preserve the rule of law and secure the future of democracy. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Democracy vs war In the old days, political power was gained by waging war. Opposing groups would go to battle. Whoever won the war would get the political power. All major civilizations developed their status by becoming experts at war.  Whoever had the best armies and weapons would typically win. That is still the case to this date, and t...
