Religiously brainwashed men do seem to be the overwhelming majority of politicians who want abortion banned. Specifically, White, Republican males in Congress or state legislatures. How about if we let women make these type of decisions since they are the ones who actually have to carry a child to term? Men making medical decisions for women is ridiculous. Pure male ego...

Do do you think that 48% or the U.S. population consists of "religiously brain washed men".

Tip- in the future, try making factual arguments, not emotional rants against the people you disagree with.

I was speaking specifically about Congress and state legislatures since they are the ones making the laws. Have you seen a picture of GOP members of Congress? White as hell and male as hell. Not much diversity in that bunch.

On what basis do you make this claim?

There's pretty extensive evidence that austerity is disastrous for a recovery.

Not really the countries that imposed austerity were not that much worse off than the US that spent Trillions for 8 years of stagnation.

Oh, and there's a wide gap between the "stimulus" and austerity. It's called sanity which was delivered post 2010.

Religious Europe?!? WTF? Europe is the least religious place on the planet.

Been to Europe much? I think not, don’t confuse a very religious continent that legislates things in a progressive manner with a non-religious one.

Your comment is either intellectually dishonest or you simply have no idea what is going on over there.

Some never stop amazing me, how can you do vehemently want laws on the books regulating a women’s choice on one hand and on the other take away or seek to limit lifelines to help that woman out? Not only that, but let’s go ahead and make sure healthcare isn’t even remotely close to affordable.

It feels like some here just want an over population of poor and uneducated good little worker bees. Since they won’t ever be able to make enough to ever stop working you might as well start dumping regulations to enforce work place safety, worker’s rights, clean air/water, etc. all that should keep the herd thin enough to control yet big enough to keep unemployment down.

It's not a particularly controversial statement. With the exception of Italy, Europe is incredibly secular.

WTF? Your answer makes no sense. How can you talk about Obama's "results" when the Republicans prevented him from implementing the kinds of fiscal policy needed to expedite the recovery? And please explain why large deficits are now fine to Republicans but were incredibly dangerous to the economy under Obama.

As for your use of the words "objective analysts"- HAHAHAHA. I think you meant to use the words "liberal analysts".

No, I should have used the word "economists".
