I believe the thinking here is that contraceptives let people have sex lots more and sex is evil unless it's between a married man and woman who are attempting to make a baby.

Looks like this was an error of numbers, as the actual figures (corrected in the digital version and later print editions) are 51%, 36% and 15%, so the bars are accurate, but the numbers on the bars are not. The numbers shown are apparently for all the voters polled.

Here in New Zealand, everyone has roundly expressed disapproval at the whole stripping of rights in the US, even the right wing party which largely voted against the decriminalization of abortion when it came up a couple of years ago. Except one right wing MP who posted a message of support on...

Trump continued to have rallies after he was elected president, so I strongly suspect he would have continued to do so even had he not been elected. I feel like the media coverage that would bring would have helped spread the lie. I doubt it would have reached the point of people trying to storm...

Assuming he does run, I'll be fascinated to see who his VP pick is, since I am sure "will you help me take over as dictator for life" will be one of the things they will have to agree to before he picks them.

So that's a no on the First Amendment then? Figures, they only care about the second.

The Green party there has had a great boost in their results too, which is good to see.

Clearly that means abortion can't be banned, or else D.C. would no longer have a source of power.

OK, but what's the story with the cowbells? Everyone knows you need more cowbell, not less.

Flamethrowers, knives, zip ties: banned Guns: still allowed Wait, aren't flamethrowers just guns that shoot fire instead of bullets? Why aren't they covered under the second amendment?

It would discourage companies from buying and hoarding old IP, but as far as I can tell, it's only Disney that is both doing that and over the net worth threshold. Hell, they could probably avoid the penalty altogether by breaking off parts of their company into smaller companies.
