Blue-hearts, remember that they’ve also given you the right to own and carry guns, in order to “protect” yourselves, and they didn’t specify against whom.
I’m not up on the details of every state’s laws, but I understand that at least in Florida, the only excuse you need to shoot someone is that you feel “threatened”. Actually being threatened (not necessarily by a gun) should certainly justify feeling threatened, though I don’t think that the wording of the Florida law requires that the feeling be justified.

Start watching anti-choice politicians and report when they, their mistress or a family member gets and abortion. Before Roe v Wade, those who could afford it got a “D&C”while those that didn’t have enough money had to go to the back alley. When I was in elementary school, two of my classmates had older sisters that died from “appendix complications”. Even thought I was only about 11, even I heard the whispering about them being botched abortions. That’s what the anti=choice group wants for the average person, but you know they will pay for their mistress, etc. to get that “D&C”.

The final chase of a “preggers posse” ends at Illinois’ historic Starved Rock, that serves as their hopeless refuge against an enemy tribe. This time it’s not Indians, but a tribe of pro-lifers who have cornered some hapless women seeking abortions.
(Darren, your Southern twang is getting so thick, I imagine a banjo playing each time you talk. You sure you aren’t running in Mississippi? Honest, I think it varies in intensity depending upon which area of the state you speak.)
Golly gee, the T*rd Reich fascists are sure using up all their small dick energy today to try to prove how much they hate liberty for anyone who isn’t a white male theocrat who’s dumb enough to support an oligarchy that they’ll never be a part of in a million years.
A Small Town’s July 4 Parade Has Been Upended By Right-Wing Culture Warriors
When the city of Friendswood, Texas, announced on Facebook that hometown hero Haley Carter would be the grand marshal for the town’s famed Fourth of July parade, the post was peppered with excited comments. Carter, who was in the Marines and is a retired professional soccer player, was just the type of person residents wanted to see lead the parade.
Then the right-wing culture warriors showed up.
Conservative radio host Jesse Kelly tweeted the same day that Friendswood had appointed a “gun-grabber” who is “into drag” and “trans activism” to lead the parade. Kelly is from Ohio, ran a failed congressional campaign in Arizona, and now hosts his radio show from nearby Houston. “Communists are in blood-red areas too,” he wrote.
Soon, excited Facebook comments were accompanied by screenshots of Kelly’s tweets about Carter, some of which included a picture of her young son. She began receiving threats.
On paper, Carter seems like the kind of person conservatives who claim to love the military would support.
She attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served two tours in Iraq after graduating in 2006. She played in the National Women’s Soccer League for the Houston Dash and served as an assistant coach for the Afghanistan Women’s National Football Team. She has an MBA and a law degree.
But Carter is also an outspoken supporter of gun reform in her home state of Texas. She serves as the chair of the Mayor’s Commission Against Gun Violence in Houston, and in the wake of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, she wrote a letter demanding Texas leaders act on gun reform. She also regularly takes her son to drag events and once surprised him with a trip to Las Vegas to meet his favorite drag queen.
The Dred Scott decision come back to life…..Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments completed disregarded …..(no person should be held in servitude)…..These also addressed forced pregnancies…..(former slave women forced to bear master’s baby or used as breeding stock).
Illinois is a beautiful state with many things to do. Many people driver here from other states daily. How do I know? I can read license plates.
We are also committed to being a safe haven for those being religiously persecuted in other states. We will continue to do so as long as the majority of us in Illinois vote for freedom and vote Democratic. Are our politicians always perfect, no. Are our politicians worst than any other state, definitely NOT. In fact, with the extra scrutiny put on the politicians in Illinois, particularly the Democratic politicians, I’m pretty sure we have some of the best in the entire USA. All better than the best Republican in any state, where ‘Lie, cheat, and steal.’ seems to be all they can do, ignoring the needs and will of their own constituent time and time again.

Mr. America, walk on by your schools that do not teach
Mr. America, walk on by the minds that won’t be reached
Mr. america try to hide the emptiness that’s you inside
But once you find that the way you lied
And all the corny tricks you tried
Will not forestall the rising tide of hungry freaks daddy
