Again, no one is defending that.

But here's two choices, let's take Dicks as an example...

Would you prefer they:
1) Made the statement/commitments they made
2) Didn't make them.

In america we don't have a monarchy, so we worship CEOs. And whenever a person like Bezos is Susan Collins level "concerned" about an issue its literally front page news. And when the Queen of the Amazon, also tosses us unworthy, unwashed masses crumbs we literally throw ourselves on our knees in unmitiagted praise.

corporate america was insturmental in creating this mess, they are not getting you out of this mess, and they will actively work against you if it hurts their bottom line, but hey this piece of cake you gave me is better than nothing.

So... not answering the question then?
 
Course you do fella. Now any chance of answering some of the more substantive questions you've been asked? Like why should there be a "fight" over whether to remove contraception protections?
I don't personally believe there will be any success with the fight with contraception because most conservatives believe that life begins at conception and most contraceptives act to prevent the fertilisation of an egg.

However there will be a fight because many believe that contraception is a similar case to abortion in the sense, it can stop a precious life from coming into existence, that alone is enough for many to justify their views.

great Dick's is gonna pay, just like Tesla, and amazon and the non-union part starbucks will. they've cleared the 6in hurdle we've put in front of them w/ room to spare. I'm happy.

let's just see if they keep their promise, after all the promises made to not support certain individuals during BLM were quietly binned as soon as the protests ended.

lol D sporting good is swear filtered
 
What makes you so adamant in saying it's a basic human right ? Have you ever actually seen videos of abortions being performed? Have you seen how the entire thing works right ? By calling it a human right, you are equating abortion to other necessities in our life that we take for granted, and its a bit tonedeaf on your part.

If a state is going to ban abortion, its because the majority of the people in those states wholeheartedly don't support abortion. If a state like Louisiana bans abortion, then you can't argue with the will of the Louisianian people. Democracy will always prevail in America.
Hahaaha.

Why do you think the anti-choice lobby use the factually inaccurate term "killing babies" to describe abortion?

It's my belief that people such as yourself are in no way, shape or form entitled to use the term "precious life" when through your actions and inactions you prove time and again that the lives of others are not precious to you.
 
A woman in Houston who showed an ultrasound to her boyfriend, a mother of five who was carrying a sixth child, and a pregnant woman coming home from a baby shower were all recent victims of homicide, a top cause of death for pregnant people in the US.

Pregnant people are more than twice as likely to be murdered during pregnancy and immediately after giving birth than to die from any other cause, according to a nationwide death certificate study. Homicide far exceeds obstetric causes of death during pregnancy, such as hemorrhage, hypertension, or infection.
 

I'm a white man in my mid-50s who has lived his entire life in a conservative state of the United States. I honestly cannot imagine there are many women in this state who have not needed abortion services for themselves, their sister, their cousin, their daughter, their co-worker, or their neighbor. In many cases, to save their lives or long-term health.

If people like @emir would open their eyes and recognize that by the actions he approves of being taken he is dooming women to die, women whose fetus they hoped to grow into a child they would love but, sadly, will not I might have some hope honest conversation would happen. But I do not have such hope and it is almost a cause for despair. But I'm a yeehaw Texan and I don't play that crap. I fight. And @emir's 'kin fake-ass Christian ass is going to lose.
