Sitting here watching the house floor debate on the Abortion Bill and there is so much "you can't restrict a women's right to health care". Yet these same people are the first to say to a women "You don't have the right to self defense". The hypocrisy is nauseating.

 

Funny how both sides of the aisle like to reference only the constitutional rights they agree with.

Abortion isn't a constitutional right. Whether you are for it or not.

I'm sitting at the side of the Danube river ( it's way flooded over the banks) waiting for the blue room streaming to start. I wonder what this is costing me.

 

Cool! Vienna?

No. A little town in Hungary just north of border with Serbia. In the 90s rockets would sail over the border on occasion and nail a house in the village I'm in now. Pretty surreal to see this beautiful countryside and then see rusted signs in fields near the border that warn against the possibility of unexploded ordinance.

Budapest is doing a pretty good job of filling in the old bullet holes in buildings from the 40s and 50s. Ten years ago when I was last here they were obvious and easy to find, now not so much.

Your opinion is noted.

(It is a right under the 14th amendment. )

Anyway, that points out the irony I mentioned in my other post. Hypocrites on both sides of the aisle when it comes to the constitution and recognizing all of the rights and liberties it provides us, all of us.

 

Back to the regularly scheduled program. Calling my congress critters is a waste of time. They are more than happy to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
