If not caused by sexual assault or rape it was really at fault of the girl and the couple and therefore should not have the choice of abortion.

No, if the girl wants an abortion, she should have an abortion. Even if they were a couple and did not have safe sex, it is her choice to have an abortion or not.

 @9GZPKWG from Idaho  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree with this statement. In the vast majority of cases abortions take place because people didn't use protection, and refused to abstain until ready to start a family. I believe it should be up to the states, but personally I don't think the vast majority of people should be allowed to abort an unborn child.

 @9GZPXCD from Alabama  agreed…1yr1Y

Rape is the fault of the rapist (man or woman) but abortion is not the answer, there are alternatives to prevent birth that don't require killing the baby.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  disagreed…1yr1Y

If you don't want to be pregnant anymore then abortion is literally the best solution to that.

 @9GZPNSQ from Minnesota  agreed…1yr1Y

agree because it was her own choice to convay in the activities and should have to deal with what comes with that and not just be able to kill an innocent human for her wrong doing

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  disagreed…1yr1Y

That's not how anything in life works. Normal people are supposed to take action to stop unwanted consequences from happening. If you left the stove on and started a fire, you wouldn't just let your house burn down, you would put it out; if you get pregnant and don't want to be, you don't just let yourself suffer through an unwanted pregnancy, you would just get an abortion. That's what normal people do...

 @9GZX86RWomen’s Equality from Washington  disagreed…1yr1Y

Regardless of who's "Fault" the pregnancy is, the girl is the one who will have to go through the immense pain, cost, time, and energy of the pregnancy. Sometimes a pregnancy can be deadly to the mother, or exceedingly dangerous. It is her body and she should have the right to choose.

 @9GZRX8Ndisagreed…1yr1Y

Even if a pregnancy isn't caused by sexual assualt or rape, the woman should still be abke to get an abortion because having a child could interfere with her life, and she might not have the time, finances, etc. to raise a child.

 @9GZQ2QX from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

having sex is at best an act of love and people should not be at fault for having accidents. people make mistakes.

 @9GZPZ93 from Washington  disagreed…1yr1Y

It's literally a fetus blob in her body, If 2 people aren't prepared to raise a kid at the time they got pregnant, then they should have every right to kill that blob!

 @9GZPCDJ from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

It is neither just nor right to force a woman to bring a child into the world which she does not have the resources to care for. The government does not have a strong system to support mothers who do not have resources to care for their child, causing economic difficulties, social stigma, and even neglect. It is not just to force a woman through the trauma of childbirth for a child she did not want, even if she chooses to give the child up for adoption. By allowing abortions, the foster and adoption system will not be overwhelmed and children who are up for adoption will have better chances of finding homes.

 @9GZP3D7 from Illinois  disagreed…1yr1Y

there could be multiple things that could result in pregnancy. Either way women should always have a choice if they want the baby or not.

 @9GZP2N8 from Florida  disagreed…1yr1Y

Abortion should be allowed as it is more beneficial than to have access to it that to ban it completely. Victim blaming?

 @9GZNZ88Republican from Idaho  agreed…1yr1Y

I totally agree. If you want to mess around and have fun for the night, you should be willing to face the consequences. If you want to have sex you better be smart about it. If your in idiot, you shouldn't have the right to murder a child out of your own stupidity.

Donald Trump nominates Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General

Former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General of the United States, should he reclaim the presidency in the upcoming election.Bondi, a prominent figure in Republican politics, served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. She gained national attention for her legal battles on issues such as health care reform, consumer protection, and opioid abuse litigation. Known for her steadfast support of Trump during his presidency, Bondi also served as a key adviser during his first impeachment trial, where she defended his administration against accusations of abuse of power.In a statement released by his campaign, Trump praised Bondi’s “unwavering commitment to justice” and her “track record of standing up for everyday Americans against the abuses of Washington’s elites.”“Pam Bondi has been a fearless advocate for the people, and she embodies the principles of fairness, accountability, and the rule of law that are sorely needed to restore trust in our justice system,” Trump said. “She is the right person to lead the Department of Justice into a new era of integrity and excellence.”While Bondi’s nomination has been met with applause from conservative circles, it has also reignited criticism from Democrats and ethics watchdogs. Her acceptance of a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation in 2013, which coincided with her decision not to pursue an investigation into Trump University, has drawn scrutiny in the past and resurfaced following the announcement.Democratic leaders have already voiced opposition, questioning Bondi’s ability to lead the Department of Justice independently. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) called the nomination “a political power play” and urged a focus on “restoring integrity, not entrenching partisanship.”

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.

Israel Sinks Syria's Navy

Israel said Tuesday that it had destroyed Syria’s navy in overnight airstrikes, as it continued to pound targets in Syria despite warnings that its operations there could ignite new conflict and jeopardize the transition of power to an interim government.Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said that the Israeli military had “destroyed Syria’s navy overnight, and with great success.” His remarks appeared to confirm Israel’s responsibility for the destruction documented in the Syrian port city of Latakia, where photos showed the smoldering remains of ships sunk at their dock.Mr. Katz said that Israel’s military “has been operating in Syria in recent days to hit and destroy strategic capabilities that pose a threat to Israel,” although he did not indicate what new or immediate risk Syria’s navy presented to Israel, which has the most powerful military in the Middle East.Israeli warplanes have conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, according to war monitors. Israel has characterized its operations as defensive, saying its military was striking suspected chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria to prevent them from falling “into the hands of extremists.”“From here, I warn the rebel leaders in Syria: Those who follow Assad’s path will end like Assad,” Mr. Katz said.As the Assad government fell to the rebels over the weekend, Israeli ground forces advanced beyond the demilitarized zone on the Israel-Syria border, marking their first overt entry into Syrian territory in more than 50 years. An Israeli military spokesman on Tuesday denied reports that the military was advancing on Damascus. The spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said the military was inside a buffer zone between Israel and Syria and at other points “in order to protect the Israeli border.”Earlier Tuesday, Geir Pedersen, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, called on Israel to halt its “very troubling” military operations there, and said de-escalation was needed. “We are continuing to see Israeli movements and bombardments into Syrian territory. This needs to stop,” Mr. Pedersen told reporters in Geneva.
