They could seek support from China

China has shipping logistics into every US port of entry, Atlantic or pacific

They are a massive importer

That map isn’t adjusted for population either

The amount of people you would need to move from the red areas to the blue areas

Guns don’t win wars as much as good intel does

Clearly you aren’t thinking this through

You will be outsmarted

You’ll be gathering a ton of people and trudging along the highway

A big ol’ righty pile

One well placed landmine and you’re done

Why would the Japanese help you

They are commies by your standards

They have free healthcare

When we try to propose free healthcare here, you guys call it comminist

So I suppose Japan is communist?

US pays more than the commies

And we live shorter lives

Japan has a badass health system apparently

Our obesity problem is a symptom as well as a cause

It’s a mean cycle

There are statistics to disprove this state by state

I’m not sure what study you’re referring to @JustaSpy

In that study people self-rated their health

And if Japan is in debt, it isn’t because of their health system, because they spend less than we do.

But anyway, red states are more obese and have a lower life expectancy than blue states

So leftists in red states are super unhealthy but are fine in blue states?

That’s some mental gymnastics

Gold medal for you

Most leftists in red states DO live in cities

Birmingham Alabama

LOL

Personal responsibility is a concept

You don’t get to “claim it”

Fine. The left claims morality

We are the only moral ones now

Because I said so

I hereby claim it

How about wear a mask?

That’s a personal responsibility

It’s uncomfortable

But you do it to protect your fellow citizens

Anti abortion arguments are faith based

The US has a secular government

We don’t govern based on beliefs of certain religious groups

No, life ends at contraception

Af least I hope

But there is zero scientific consensus on life beginning at conception

Besides, the US defines medically dead as brain dead

The zygote does not even form a brain until well into the second trimester

A sperm also has the potential to become life

Shall we arrest masturbators?

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a national organization of pediatricians and other healthcare professionals dedicated to the health and well-being of children. It was founded by a group of concerned physicians who saw the need for a pediatric organization that would not be influenced by the politically driven pronouncements of the day. The ACPeds bases its policies and positions upon scientific truth within a framework of ethical absolutes. Of particular importance to the founders were (as it is today) the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and the importance of the fundamental mother-father family unit in the rearing of children. The first official meeting of the newly formed college was held in Boston in October 2002.

It’s not a medical article

Nor is that the general consensus

You linked a pro life nonprofit

That has doctors as founding members

I could just as easily link a pro abortion non profit run by doctors

Come on

That’s not a “consensus”

It’s a “group of concerned pediatricians”

Family members can “pull the plug” on a loved one who is declared medically brain dead

That same right should extend to mothers, it would extend to the mother of a brain dead baby outside of the womb

But apparently if it’s in the womb it gets special treatment

Some

Most do

It takes a long time for the brain to become viable

See that’s the thing

You’re allowed to not care

It’s a choice

You’re allowed to believe what you want

It’s not up to you or I

Why should it be

It should be up to the mother

Exactly, there is a chance of viability

And yet there are still familial rights

Those same rights should apply equally in all circumstances

Yeah but not everyone who becomes brain dead has a will

So that’s an argument that goes nowhere

Ok but it isn’t a person

It’s barely an embryo

A small person would be a baby

A baby isn’t what we’re arguing about here

Lol focus on the family?

NICE

they like gay conversion therapy

So you’re clearly well versed in scientific accuracy

R/iamverysmart

Apparently you didn’t know enough to do a better job debating me

A lot of people were anti abortion and are now pro abortion

Anecdotal evidence

Cool. That’s your opinion

Morality is subjective

I believe it is not immoral if I smoke cannabis

Many people think it is immoral

Cool

Moral relativism implies that as humans, we have a general sense of right and wrong as animals

Killing, for example
