The following is adapted from a speech delivered on April 27, 2021, in Franklin, Tennessee, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar.
In 2007, America had one pediatric gender clinic; today there are hundreds. Testosterone is readily available to adolescents from places like Planned Parenthood and Kaiser, often on a first visit—without even a therapist’s note.
How did we get to this point? How is it that we are all supposed to pretend that the only way you can know I’m a woman is if I tell you my pronouns? How did we get to an America in which a 13-year-old in the State of Washington can begin “gender affirming” therapy without her parents’ consent? How did we get to an America in which a 15-year-old in Oregon can undergo “top surgery”—elective double mastectomy—without her parents’ permission? And what can we do about it?
***
To understand how we got to this point, it is useful to begin by considering gender dysphoria—the feeling of severe discomfort in a person’s biological sex. Gender dysphoria is certainly real. It is also exceedingly rare. It afflicts about 0.01 percent of the population, most of whom are male.
For nearly 100 years of diagnostic history, gender dysphoria typically began in early childhood, between the ages of two and four, and usually involved a boy who insisted that he was not a boy but a girl. Children afflicted are insistent, consistent, and persistent in the feeling that they are in the wrong body. It is by all accounts excruciating—I’ve talked to many transgender adults, most of them biological males, who describe the relentless chafe of a body that feels all wrong.
Historically, this has been the classic presentation of gender dysphoria. When these children were left alone—when no one intervened medically or encouraged what we today call “social transition”—over 70 percent of them naturally outgrew their gender dysphoria. Most of those who outgrew it became gay men. Those who did not outgrow it became what used to be known as transsexuals. They did not believe they were women, but they felt most comfortable presenting themselves as females.
Today, however, we don’t leave these children alone. Instead, the moment children seem not to be perfectly feminine or perfectly masculine, we label them as “trans kids.” Teachers encourage them to reintroduce themselves to their classes with new names and new pronouns. We take them to therapists or doctors, nearly all of whom practice so-called affirmative care—meaning they think it is their job to affirm the diagnosis of gender dysphoria and help the children medically transition.
The typical first step in treatment administered to these kids is puberty blockers, which shut down the part of the pituitary gland that directs the release of hormones catalyzing puberty. The most common of these drugs is Lupron, whose original purpose was the chemical castration of sex offenders. To this day, the FDA has never approved this drug for halting healthy puberty.
One has to wonder why a parent or a doctor would take measures to stop a child’s puberty, given that even a child with genuine gender dysphoria would most likely outgrow that condition if left alone. Some argue that it is traumatizing to let children go through the puberty of the sex to which they do not wish to belong. But in many cases, puberty seems to have helped children overcome gender dysphoria. The truth is that there is no satisfying answer, given that scientists have no way of predicting which children will outgrow the dysphoria on their own and which won’t.
Proponents of “affirmative care” also argue that allowing puberty to occur is dangerous, because suicide rates for trans-identified youth and trans adults are very high. Therefore, they say, we need to start treating children with gender dysphoria as soon and as dramatically as possible.
Yet there are no good long-term studies indicating that puberty blockers cure suicidality or even improve mental health. Nor are there studies that show puberty blockers are safe or reversible when used in this manner.
What we do know is that puberty blockers prevent the development of secondary sex characteristics, sexual maturation, and bone density. Indeed, because of the inhibition of bone density and other risks, doctors don’t like to keep children on puberty blockers for more than two years.
We also know that in almost every case when a child’s healthy puberty is medically arrested, placing the child out of step with his or her peers, that child proceeds to cross-sex hormones. And when puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are administered to a girl, she becomes infertile. She may also have permanent sexual dysfunction given that her sex organs never reach adult maturity.
Given this, the claims made by so many doctors and gender activists today that these medical transition measures for children are safe and reversible—that they are a “pause button,” without serious downsides—are not only dishonest, but destructive. We would not accept this sort of glib salesmanship in any other area of medicine.
Trans Identification among Teenage Girls
As I mentioned, for the nearly 100-year history of scientific study of gender dysphoria, it has been diagnosed almost exclusively in young children, and mostly in boys. But over the last decade, large numbers of teenage girls have begun to claim they have gender dysphoria.
Prior to 2012, in fact, there was no scientific literature on gender dysphoria arising in teenage girls. Dr. Lisa Littman, then a Brown University public health researcher, used the phrase “rapid onset gender dysphoria” to refer to the subsequent sudden spike in transgender identification among teenage girls with no childhood history of gender dysphoria.
This spike is not unique to America—we see it across the Western world. To offer just one statistic, there has been a decade-to-decade increase of over 4,400 percent in the number of teenage girls seeking treatment at the United Kingdom’s national gender clinic. Across the West, teen girls are now the leading demographic claiming to have gender dysphoria.
What is behind this is social contagion—the spread of ideas, emotions, and behaviors through peer influence, one more instance of teenage girls sharing and spreading their pain. There is a long history of social contagion with this demographic—anorexia and bulimia are also spread this way. And we know that teen girls today are in the midst of the worst mental health crisis on record, with the highest rates of anxiety, self-harm, and clinical depression.
The teen girls susceptible to this social contagion are the same high-anxiety, depressive girls who struggle socially in adolescence and tend to hate their bodies. Add to that a school environment where you can achieve status and popularity by declaring a trans identity. Add to that the teenage temptation to stick it to mom. Also add the intoxicating influence of social media, where trans activists push the idea that identifying as trans and starting a course of testosterone will cure a girl’s problems. Put those together, and you have a fast-spreading social phenomenon.
I’ve spoken to families at top girls’ schools who attest that 15, 20, or in one case 30 percent of the girls in their daughter’s seventh grade class identify as trans. When you see figures like that, you’re witnessing a social contagion in action. There is no other reasonable explanation.
These teen girls are in a great deal of pain. Almost all of them have at some point dealt with an eating disorder, engaged in cutting, or been diagnosed with other mental health comorbidities. And now they’re being allowed to self-diagnose gender dysphoria by a medical establishment that has decided that its job is to affirm and agree with trans-identified adolescents.
Turning a Blind Eye
You may not know the name Keira Bell. She is a young woman in the U.K., very troubled in adolescence, who was rushed to transition in her teen years and came to regret it. She underwent double mastectomy and spent years on testosterone, only to realize that her problem had never been gender dysphoria. She sued the U.K.’s national gender clinic, and last December, after the High Court of Justice examined her case and the claims of similarly situated plaintiffs, she won.
The Court examined the medical protocols applied to Keira Bell—protocols identical to the ones we have in the United States—and was horrified that a young girl had been allowed to consent to begin a process of eliminating her future fertility and sexual function at an age, 15, when she could not possibly have gauged that loss.
Hailed as a “landmark case” by The Times of London, The Economist, and even The Guardian, Bell’s victory was widely viewed as a serious condemnation of the effort to fast-track teen girls to gender transition. One of the appalling things the Court noted was that the national gender clinic had been unable to show any psychological improvement in the adolescents it had treated with transitioning hormones.
If, as I suspect, you haven’t read or heard about the Keira Bell case, that’s because America’s legacy media decided to pretend the case didn’t happen. Similarly, they continue to ignore or dismiss the stories of the thousands of “detransitioners”—young women who underwent medical transition, later regretted it, and attempt to reverse course. A lot of the treatments these girls have undergone are permanent, but they do what they can to try to reverse some of the effects.
Thus it is that in the United States, this crisis among teenage girls gets treated as a political issue—a conservative issue—rather than a medical one. And so perhaps the greatest medical scandal of our time is dismissed as a conservative preoccupation.
The Assault on Women’s Sports and Safe Spaces
No discussion of gender ideology can ignore the ongoing movement to eradicate girls’ and women’s sports and protective spaces. Many or most of the people pushing this are not transgender themselves. But they are activists, they are energized, and they seem to be winning.
This movement promotes dangerous bills like the Equality Act, which would make it illegal ever to distinguish between biological men and women—and thus to exclude a biological male from a girls’ sports team or a women’s protective space, whether it be a restroom, locker room, or prison. We have these laws now in California and in the State of Washington—and as you might imagine, one result is that hundreds of biological male prisoners, many of them violent felons, have applied to transfer to women’s units.
For activists pushing this, it is not enough to create unisex bathrooms, a separate category for trans-identified athletes, or separate safe zones in prisons for trans-identified biological men. No, they are working to abolish all women’s-only spaces and they want to abolish them now.
***
The common thread running through these topics is that the truth is being obscured by gender ideology. Lies are told about the risks of the transition treatments administered to young children, both to play down the dangers of those treatments and to exaggerate the degree to which those treatments are known to be helpful. Lies are told about the researchers and journalists who attempt to report on the crisis of social contagion among teenage girls undergoing transition treatments. And lies are told about the movement to eradicate women’s protective spaces.
The gender ideology behind these lies is a sibling of critical race theory. While critical race activists are teaching kids that they are largely defined by their skin color, gender activists are teaching kids that there are a great many genders, and that only they know their true gender. And just as families who object to racial indoctrination in schools are told that their denials of racism are proof of racism, young women who object to biological males participating in girls’ sports are told that their objections are proof of transphobic bigotry.
These mendacious dogmas have corrupted our K-12 schools, our universities, and our legacy media, as well as our scientific journals and our medical accrediting organizations—the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, etc. To give you a sense of how far things have gone, I was informed late last year by a member of the National Association of Science Writers—an association of journalists with scientific backgrounds—that a member of the association’s online forum had been expelled for mentioning my book on the transgender social contagion among teenage girls. He hadn’t even read my book. He just mentioned that it sounded interesting, and for that he was banned as transphobic.
Similarly, endocrinologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and researchers who are concerned about the risks of gender interventions report that they struggle today to get their research published. And public and private funding of research is almost entirely restricted to researchers who promote gender transition and downplay the risks.
There are phalanxes of young doctors now, many of them in pediatrics or child psychiatry, who are open about their belief that their primary job is “social justice.” They unreservedly celebrate the increase in transitioning treatment of young people and are inexcusably complacent about the risks of those treatments. The Washington Post recently quoted some of these doctors to the effect that puberty blockers are fully reversible—which is not something that any honest doctor can claim to know. We simply don’t have the data to know whether puberty blockers are fully physically reversible when applied to halt healthy puberty—and they are certainly not psychologically reversible. We’re seeing a startling politicization of medicine and science, which is symptomatic of a larger woke corruption of American society.
***
Now, there’s something I make a point of saying whenever I speak, and I say it for the simple reason that it is true: transgender adults are some of the soberest and kindest people I have met in my work as a journalist. Many of them seem to have been helped by transition, and they are leading admirable and productive lives. They have no desire to harm women or to push transition on children. The gender ideology activists do not represent them.
My understanding of freedom includes a belief that society should allow adults to make consequential decisions about their lives, which includes choosing to undergo sex reassignment surgery. And whenever I am asked by a transgender adult, I use his or her chosen name and pronouns. This seems to me the courteous and the right thing to do. But—and this is a big but—I never lie. This means I never say, and I will never say, that trans women are women. I think reciting this lie leads, as we are seeing, to unjust and dangerous consequences for women and girls. It is not courteous or right to parrot these lies. It is the cowardly surrender of women’s welfare to the woke gods. And it is wrong.
I’m also often asked why it is that the gender ideology activists are doing what they are doing. What possible justification could there be, for instance, for telling small boys that they might be girls and small girls that they might be boys? My best guess at an answer occurred to me while talking to detransitioners. I heard repeatedly from these young women that while they were transitioning, they were angry and politically radical. They often cut off relations with their families, having been coached to do so online by gender activists. Related to this, if you look, you’ll notice a disproportionate number of gender-confused people among the ranks of Antifa in cities like Portland.
In other words, chaos is the point, and these troubled girls become prey for those who seek to recruit revolutionaries. Just as the destructive objective of critical race theory is to divide Americans racially, that of gender ideology is to disrupt the formation of stable families, the building blocks of American life.
So what do we do about it? How do we push back? First and foremost, we must oppose the indoctrination of children in gender ideology. There is no good reason for it, and it does real harm. We can absolutely insist that all children treat each other kindly without indoctrinating an entire generation in gender confusion.
Second, we must overcome our squeamishness and speak the truth in public. Wherever we find ourselves, we must refuse to recite lies. And we must always clearly distinguish between transgender Americans, generally wonderful people, and the ideological transgender movement, which seeks to warp children and weaken families.
This is a movement that would turn our children against themselves because its advocates know there is no greater harm—no quicker way to bring America to its knees—than by driving our children to do themselves irreversible damage. The people pushing this ideology have gotten a head start on us by perhaps a decade. But now I think they have awakened a sleeping giant. The success of my book is one indication. The many state legislatures that are now debating these issues is another.
These are our kids and grandkids. Our future depends on our winning this fight.
Perhaps just castrated!!!
In English we have two words that are customarily treated as synonymous: Sex and Gender.
I would suggest, however, that society should NOT treat them as synonymous.
I would suggest that sex should be determined by presence or absence of chromosomes, but that gender should be determined by lifestyle choice.
This way activities (e.g. Olympic competition) which are dependent on physiology could be determined by sex and genetics; whereas appearance and lifestyle could be described by gender.
Amen
It is interesting, on a personal note, that the peroration of my life will most probably be expended in Franklin, Tennessee whither I have recently moved. I am hoping to find this locality a hotbed of rest; safe from progressive mobs.
And, I hope that you do!
Franklin, TN is a very nice area CFS, and is fairly balanced, so you should be safe from progressive mobs. Cheers!
We see again that history is beginning to be written by the “winners”, even if the “winners” stole the election.
OF course, a blatant attempt to silence opposition.
Control of the media is important. If you “win” you can use the clout of the establishment to silence opposition. We saw that with the bogus impeachment of Trump. (Keeping him occupied and diminishing his effectiveness.)
Material similar to this is now effectively blocked on my compter by the addition of confusing material in the form of fake news and ads.
I have a neighbor who is a successful computer consultant. I will be seeing him this afternoon and find out if he can fix what is happening to me..
The vaccine war waged by retail conventional medical docs(the stooge conforming 99%) affect almost 100% of Americas babies and children…they as a group have lost their health and are wounded by exponentially growing rates of austism and spectral disorders….they largely have no word in that decision to shoot them…but we at ker are discussing .50% transgender non-issues….This topic is simply used by government to divide the public politically over non-issues…this topic trivializes real issues like destroying babies through corrupted science used to sell them the vaccines destroying them, permanently….the tone deafness at ker grows and expands
I am trying to cover everything and that certainly includes the issues that you bring up, Larry. Keep them coming.
Now that big Al has been jabbed I pray that he will not become transgender with new pronouns. I fell confident that Doc, cfs, Ex, Tony, Jerry, and Matthew will not become women. But I was surprised when Bruce Jenner switched sides. At least Mark Spitz and Bobby Knight are still he-men like Bonzo.
Jenner is just a different kind of human being. I find it hard to believe that he was chemically induced to change his gender.
I feel terribly sorry for our society at this point!
I dont feel sorry for the stupidity, stupidity is part of humanity, it will never end.
What I think is, we are simply watching the end of an empire.
Once things get back to stable, sanity should return.
At least I would hope so.
Give me a comment on “things getting back to stable”. The reason that I ask you to do that is that I am not sure that they will ever be normal again, b.

liberals believe that the worthless words that eject from their mouths determines a persons sex…that it is decided by choice,following birth..lmao…a perversion of what choice means, minimally…they will argue that one can choose sex like a pair of new shoes…absolute science deniers and mentally ill, reason-less fools…is there any doubt they will destroy our form of government economy and planet…?hummmmm🤡💩😜📡

A report by newspaper The Australian put the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) at the center of the virus origins discussion again.

Real simple……………….
Recently, I have even found out that the “covid-19” virus is nothing but a renamed common cold coronavirus. The real weapon is the spike protein — which is found in the vaccines — and globalists are using spike protein injections to achieve global scale mass murder of the human race…………… brighteon……. not me saying… 🙂
Precisely.
A simple non-typically-lethal virus was taken and modified into a bioweapon. Forget all the crap about bats viruses and other virus cross-breeds.
A corona virus was taken, AND TO IT WAS ADDED A SPIKE PROTEIN, not found in nature.
The spike protein, added by 4 CRISPR steps (I believe) does nasty things inside humans, and this man-made bioweapon virus is capable of reproducing itself inside humans. The spike protein is relatively easily detachable from the virus, but whether attached or not does damage, just like chemical poison could do damage.
The Big Pharma companies were ordered by Trump to make vaccines, because that was the advice from Fauci and other advisers. Whether deliberately or not, big pharma messed up in designing vaccines. In some of the vaccines, in order to stimulate the immunity system against the bioweapon virus they included chunks of the spike protein.
These chunks, while, indeed,stimulating the immune system, these chunks of the spike protein may also do damage to humans. The extent of damage caused by vaccine and its lasting nature are not fully known or determined at this time.
The whole affair is totally politicized and politicians don’t know shit.
(Please pardon my language.)
Allow me to correct your language. Politicians do know $h_t, and how to spew it to their constituency through the media. What they don’t know is science, logic, and facts. Actually, they do know some facts, which they forget or pretend not to know when communicating to their constituents (in some cases could be construed as lying).

A Cryptocurrency Surveillance Provision Buried in the Infrastructure Bill could be a Disaster for Digital Privacy and for cryptocurrencies themselves.
We DO NOT HAVE ANY FINAL VERSION, but the Senate draft of biden’s infra$tructure bill, a 2,000+ page bill , contains a poorly crafted provision that could create new surveillance requirements for many within the blockchain ecosystem.
(This could include requirements on developers and others who do not control digital assets on behalf of users.)
The language is still evolving, but it appears the proposal would seek to expand the definition of “broker” under section 6045(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to include anyone who is “responsible for and regularly providing any service effectuating transfers of digital assets” on behalf of another person. These newly defined “brokers” would be required to comply with IRS reporting requirements for brokers, including filing form 1099s with the IRS. That means they would have to collect user data, including users’ names and addresses. Almost any entity within the cryptocurrency ecosystem to be considered a “broker”, including software developers and cryptocurrency startups that aren’t custodying or controlling assets on behalf of their users and even potentially miners, those who confirm and verify blockchain transactions, would not be immune. The mandate to collect names, addresses, and transactions of customers means almost every company even tangentially related to cryptocurrency may suddenly be forced to surveil. It seems that by engaging in more rigorous surveillance of the cryptocurrency community, the biden administration will see more tax revenue flow in from this community without actually increasing taxes, and thus be able to cover $28 billion of its $2 trillion infrastructure plan. In fact, it will probably only increase bureaucracy and decrease freedom.

Going on to speak regarding the government fear mongering over the Delta (or Indian) variant of the virus, Paul said “Now, they’re all freaking out right now about the Delta variant. One thing is—in all likelihood true—it is more transmissible, significantly more transmissible, but guess what? Every bit of evidence shows that it’s less deadly—significantly less deadly.”
“Public Health England looked at 92,000 people. If you were vaccinated and under 50, there were no deaths. If you were unvaccinated and under 50, .08%—still very, very small. So, it’s not an argument for not getting vaccinated. It’s an argument for not getting hysterical over the Delta variant,” Paul further urged.
He continued “We shouldn’t be changing any mandates and really, in all likelihood, the masks didn’t affect the trajectory of the virus at all.”
Paul, a qualified physician, further explained “The only thing that’s slowing the virus down is the vaccine and natural immunity and they continue to ignore natural immunity because they think we are too far behind.”
Considering the SIZE of the virus and the size of pores in masks there is an analogy…..

Buried in the massive proposal—which is already longer than 2,700 pages—is a section titled, “ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY,” which mandates new vehicles include “a system that … passively and accurately detect[s] whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration” of .08, in which case the system would “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation.” Automobile manufacturers would have a three-year grace period to comply with the regulation.
Wonder how the auto-drive tesla will be equipped.
Meanwhile IN CHINA……
Authoritarianism……
There is a Constitutional amendment about Government taking of property without compensation.
Biden knew the suspension of evictions for non-payment of rents WAS AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDER, but contrary to his oath of office he did it anyway.
Now he has been challenged, pending legal action, he has ordered the CDC to reinstate the eviction moratorium.
Where in any law or Constitution does the CDC have the power to do that?
Why are Republicans not filing IMPEACHMENT charges against biden?
THERE IS ALSO A SUPREME COURT RULING TELLING BIDEN HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER.
The Absolute Dictator did it anyway.
NOT MY PRESIDENT.
GOOD QUESTION………..
Why are Republicans not filing IMPEACHMENT charges against biden?
SOLD OUT………. People can wake up now… 🙂
THIRD PARTY REQUIRED…….
The coming Delta lockdown is designed to invoke nationwide protests – here’s why
Within the next 12 days, multiple sources have told us, the pretender-in-chief Joe Biden will announce a nationwide lockdown, fraudulently blaming the “delta” variant and “anti-vaxxers” for the overzealous action.
The new lockdown will be perceived as so overreaching and totalitarian that nationwide protests will soon commence.
This is actually all part of the plan. The lockdown push is being engineered to invoke a backlash, even among Leftists who will join conservatives in taking to the streets to protest the medical tyranny.
During this backlash, the corrupt Biden regime will roll out false flag events that are designed to permanently destroy the Bill of Rights, take away citizens’ firearms and force mandatory vaccines at gunpoint, nationwide.
above comments …… from brighteon…… interesting….jmo
One thing we know BIDEN and Fauci…… are off their rockers….
AS LONG AS the CORRUPT biden ignores HIS OATH OF OFFICE. I will disregard any and all his edicts.
If that ends me in jail, so be it. I will not follow this piece of scum, in the office of pretend President.

Dangerous New Revelations —-Leaky Blood Vessels: An Unknown Danger of COVID-19 Vaccination—
AUGUST 5, 2021 / BRIANPECKFORD
Doctors4Covid Ethics.Org
Analysis
In this letter to physicians, Doctors for Covid Ethics explains why recent findings regarding vaccine-immune interactions suggest that “vascular damage and leakage” is likely to occur following COVID-19 vaccination. The findings add to work published last year showing that spike protein in the bloodstream directs an immune factor known as complement to attack the inner vessel lining, resulting in damage and leakiness of the vessels.
The severity of this effect can be expected to intensify with each injection, rendering booster shots “uniquely dangerous”.
The letter explains why booster shots can be expected to cause increasingly severe “vascular injury occurring at multiple sites throughout the body” with “potentially devastating effects.”
Given that no clinical trials have examined booster shots and their impact upon this foreseeable vaccine-immune pathway, we ask the question:
‘Are we about to witness the birth of an entirely new world of autoimmune disease?”

Or, on the road: People driving alone in their car on a nice balmy day with mask on, and windows down…

Now there are some REAL DUMMIES>……….. lol……. good one concerning the mask in the cars………….LMAO…..
Also from last year: A guy driving a sports car (Mazda Miata, I believe) with top down and mask on.
These concerns were based primarily on the expectation that the vaccine would through lymphatic transport soon enter the circulation, where it would be taken up by the endothelial cells. These cells would then start producing the spike protein, which would cause them to be attacked and destroyed by cytotoxic T- lymphocytes.
The resulting lesions would give rise to platelet activation and blood clot formation.
Since then, clotting abnormalities have indeed taken center stage as propagators of adverse events following vaccinations. Rapid entry of the vaccine into the bloodstream has been confirmed, as has rapid appearance of expressed spike protein in the bloodstream.
Activation of clotting is very common even in those without characteristic or lasting symptoms, but the number of grave adverse events caused by this mechanism—heart attack, stroke, cerebral sinus venous thrombosis, and others—is very high.
With this letter, your attention is directed to a second autoimmune pathway that will be triggered simultaneously with the activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
We predict that this pathway will cause damage to and leakiness of blood vessels, with consequences that are far-reaching and profound, particularly upon repeated vaccination. This second autoimmune pathway will render booster shots uniquely dangerous.
1. The proposed mechanism
The first injection will induce the expression of spike protein, and the formation of specific antibodies to it. Re-vaccination will lead to a second round of spike protein production, including in endothelial cells. The antibodies, now already present, will bind to these spikes and will direct attack of the complement system to these cells. Neutrophil granulocytes, too, will be activated by antibodies bound to the endothelial cells. Vascular damage and leakage will ensue.
Good for them……… 🙂
You might think the Edmonton City Council decided to be reasonable.
The truth, however, is that Alberta lost mask mandate lawsuits, and the Edmonton mask requirements became illegal/ or would lose in court if challenged.
If the kidneys were viable, then even under Rowe V. Wade, the abortions were probably illegal. (Occurring much too late in pregnancy.)

Why doesn’t he go back to saying nothing.
At least that’s better than opening his mouth and proving he’s incompetent.
Kavanaugh had the chance to join the conservatives, vacate the stay on the original moratorium, and do so in a way that clearly prevents any future issuance given how blatantly unconstitutional this theft of property is. Instead, perhaps in some misguided attempt to get the left to love him, the Trump-appointed justice joined the liberals, allowing the moratorium to continue and expire.
By doing so, Kavanaugh created a path for Joe Biden and the CDC to essentially game the system, bankrupting more landlords before any new challenge can make it through the courts. Biden admitted yesterday that is their plan.
Biden and his Marxist buddies are KILLING our Constitution line by line.
Unless the Supreme court back ups the theft of the election and brings Trump back….Hard to see this bunch of thieving cowards doing that.
The Supreme Court at this point is WORTHLESS………

what else has senile Joe forgotten?
Fallicy of ME GENERATION: me included. The only form of biblical permissible sex is between man & woman in marital relationship.
Trans equals perversion
Just for arguments sake.
Not that I really care, but just for fun, simply bored.
” only form of biblical permissible sex is between man & woman in marital relationship.”
ok, fair enough, the “bible” says so.
“The”bible says so, but the idea kinda got thrown under a bus years ago.
Heck, didnt some Lot fellow throw his virgin daughter to a mob to be gang raped? So much for waiting for marriage. Just an example as to how long ago.
Oh ya, If I recall, that was “righteous” Lot.
Anyway, now a question,
does that rule come from the same bible that supports slavery? and figures genocide is a rather handy thing?
If so, wouldnt the morality of only a married man and woman having sex need to be in question?
How credible is “trans equals perversion”? being judged by biblical morality standards?
Having asked that I gotta mention reading an article about people that have sex with animals wanting to be included in the lgbtq rainbow group.
Well, they want to be all inclusive so ya never know.
Funny as heck imo.
If, you do not care, ….why, waste anyone’s time…..
I said, bored.
And, as has been repeated, can simply be scrolled over.
It just struck me as funny.
The evil bastards that push this agenda , & the parents who go along with it , should be put up against a wall & shot. … imo
