#257 US Supreme Court Ruling on Abortion Part 3 of 4

In this episode: I am joined by The Adorable Deplorable, Ryan Mc Michael, and Mrs Smitty from the Stereo app. We went deep on the abortion issue and briefly touched on the new concealed carry law passed by the US Supreme Court. This was a long conversation about 3.5 hours, so I broke it up into 4 parts. Adorable Deplorable is a self-proclaimed gay republican who is very grounded in common sense. I don't know if I have ever agreed with a republican on so many issues. I urged him to run for office because although he is a fiscally conservative republican, he is all about human and civil rights. Mrs Smitty is the host of the Murder Minute podcast, an adventure into the world of true crime. She is also a mother and a democrat. Ryan Mc Michael is a father, democrat, and an amazing musician who recently released an amazing album called Ginny, by his band None Mothers. Please check out his music and support him with the link provided. Ryan is also preparing to expatriate from the US soon. https://nonemothers.com/store No matter where stand on the abortion issue or any other issue the key is respecting others right to their opinion. I am a staunch supporter of civil rights, freedom of speech, and bodily autonomy. I believe these fundamental freedoms and that when we limit or restrict these fundamental rights, we create a slippery slope where more and more of our rights can be eroded and legislated out of existence. What is more fundamental than bodily autonomy? The United States was founded on the ideas of the pursuit of happiness and individual liberties. I believe everybody is entitled to their opinion. The important thing about rights is that all have them. For instance, in regard to freedom of speech, I support the right people with an opposing viewpoint to voice their opinion. It is most important to support this right in cases we you disagree with someone. Let's use football player Colin Kaepernick as an example, if you do not support his right to peacefully protest and to use is fame to draw attention to police brutality against the black community, then you can't really call yourself a patriot. This country was founded on rebellion and protest. Some would argue that a football game is not the right time or place to be talking about politics. It is my belief, once you start restricting how and where someone can exercise their civil rights you have laid the groundwork for further erosion of our civil rights. The fact that people called him "un-American" for exercising the civil rights our country was founded on to me is the ultimate hypocrisy. His protest was no way "anti American" it was simply a protest against police brutality. How can anyone blame him for not honoring a song that clamors "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave", when his community is besieged by state sanctioned violence, oppression, and civil rights violations?
