Pro Life / Pro Choice Debate

[RChildress107]

Which liberals are claiming they're curing poverty? Trying to help the impoverished is a noble goal. What are the conservative ideas for trying to help the impoverished? Not helping them?

Based on the conservative posters here the idea is something like this:

Liberal policies designed to help the poor have failed and in fact are harmful to the poor (and that failure was in no way caused by conservatives actively fighting or reversing those policies every step of the way). So our idea to help the impoverished is simply to remove those policies. And until we do that you can't say it won't work.

what liberals do you see anywhere shouting from the rooftops about ending poverty?

“The great society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time.” Lyndon Johnson

Have you liberals given up the goals of the Great Society?

While we're all big fans of western European literature, this image doesn't follow this thread and poorly advances your argument, as the image depicted here performs a valuable, renewable and sustainable function. This device solves a problem and performs its intended function. I'm not sure why you would link it in a discussion involving polices of the Great* Society.

*YMMV

You're right. Unlike the policies of the Great Society, this windmill has not (yet) been destroyed by those wishing to preserve the status quo.

If only Lyndon Johnson had thought about community gardens.

He did, but it is hard to keep people subjugated if they can feed themselves. Let's not take any chances.

Yeah, its all a big conspiracy to keep people fed and sheltered. How were those folks doing before those assistance programs started? Good? They must have been doing good, otherwise you'd be blustering on about nothing.

Let me know when political parties start getting weary of constituencies in perpetuity.

Like convincing every generation of southern white 30000aires that their income taxes are responsible for every shiny rim and pack of cigarettes they see in the city? That kind of perpetuity?

I must have missed all of the community gardens out there started by conservatives

https://communitygarden.org/mission/history/

The American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) is a product of two national community gardening conferences organized by the City of Chicago Department of Human Services in 1978 and 1979.

Ah, there it is, it looks like community gardening took off in the conservative bastion of Chicago in the late 1970's.

[jhmd2000]

Again I ask, where do you see our Mission Accomplished banner?

You won't ever see that banner. The posts here drip with the much more coveted "Intentions Accomplished" standard.

Tunnels: open mouth.
JH: insert words.

Velvetta: Open foil-wrapped package.
Townie: insert beard.

That article brings up good questions. Has anyone on here ever changed their position in either direction in the pro-life/choice debate? If so, what made you change your mind? An article, tv show, personal experience, etc.

 

[RChildress107]

I suspect that anyone who changes their views on abortion based on these videos simply didn't understand what an abortion entailed in the first place.

 

[Milhouse]

i would agree
