Ha! Only the url shows up when a twitter post is quoted, but I'm assuming this is the Shawn King tweet? He's a notorious scam artist. First off, he's 100% white, has run multiple fake charities, and scammed churches out of hundreds of thousands all off the guise of being a black civil rights activist. So basically rachel dolezal, except it seemed she was actually doing some good for people. I was wondering if anyone else heard of him. An old poster of LGP/5af and I used to follow each other on twitter and he routinely posted Shawn King bullsht into my timeline. And I would have to send him something every time showing whatever Shawn says is completely made up and he's getting all his info from a fake black dude who steals money from orphans. Then I think he either quit following me or blocked me because he tries really hard to be Super Duper Liberal Man! and I guess he didnt want to believe it.

But yeah Shawn's in deep s*it.

In SC:

A woman must receive state-directed counseling that includes information designed to discourage her from having an abortion and then wait 24 hours before the procedure is provided.

According to http://americanpregnancy.org/unplanned- ... tion-laws/ that counseling lasts 1 hour.

The rest of the restrictions are in regards to insurance/ACA coverage (rape, life risk, incest) and that a minor needs a parent or guardian present.

So...

Men would have to be 18+ (or have a parent or guardian present) and undergo 1 hour of counseling designed to discourage them from buying viagra and it wouldn't be covered under the ACA or their insurance (unless of course the ED was a result of rape, incest, or is life threatening).

These "same as abortion" ideas are all ridiculous.

We need to up the birth rate to combat all of the illegals coming in, so I say no to that bill.

Re: military spending and stuff

I used to believe that USA was the nice guys when I was younger and that the US army could always be trusted to wield all-powerful weapons.

Now I am a bit more cynical, but then I think of what would happen if USA did not have the biggest gun in the school yard.

Imagine if China or Russia had the best military capacity in the world and there was noone to deter them from doing bad things

I could see him saying that and am surprised he hasn't. Maybe he's waiting to bring it out in the general election against Hillary.
