A Kentucky woman Friday filed an emergency class-action lawsuit, asking a Jefferson County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind in Kentucky since the state banned nearly all abortions in 2022 and one of the only times nationwide since before Roe v. Wade in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene on her behalf and allow her to get an abortion.

So you think the nation wasn’t still significantly divided after the Civil War?

It was, but concessions had to be made by the losing side; as is typical among wars.

So you’re saying that literally the only way for one side to make concessions when it comes to amending the constitution over a very divisive issue is to fight a war over it.

Weird, because I don’t remember the war that was fought over giving women the right to vote despite a huge amount of political opposition.

The nation wasn’t as divided during the early 20th century as it is now.

Common sense and decency was still valued, to an extent.

I have a question for you. Is there any way. Any way at all. That you can address my points with arguments of your own instead of replacing what I’m saying with what’s easier to argue against?

This whole discussion has been nothing but, “You mean this right?” “No, I don’t mean that.”

Between that and your analogies, it seems like you’re incapable of staying on topic.
