I would ague that it is democracy that has advanced the rights of women. The greatest damage done by Roe v Wade was to insert the constitution into an issue that should be determined by the people for the people.
A counter view. Jeffrey Beausay has written (along with many others) a critique of Roe v Wade, that makes it clear the decision was incorrect. Why Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. – Jeffrey Beausay What the Supreme Court have done is to return the ultimate...
The stretch is that 'everyone' that's met him was impressed with him. How the hell would Anne even know that? Hyperbole bs.
"Neither Shearer, who said he had no time to even consider it, nor Hills, threw their hats in the ring in the first place, so weren't first choices." Not true. Hills certainly did: “Goff’s silence has caused a pile-up on the left, with two Labour ...
It doesn't. I've met him and I was impressed by him. But not as a potential mayor. Anne's claim about 'everyone' was a stretch, however.
Why? They only endorsed him because they ran out of options. In fact Collins appears to have played them, to some degree, by declaring his candidacy without their endorsement when Labour wanted Hills. By way of edit - more from Bomber. https://thedailyblog...
Collins was not Labour's first choice. David Shearer was, and then Richard Hills. "Who said that lie that Collins is unpopular in the party?" That was in the article by Bernard Orsman. Auckland councillor Richard Hills announces he won't be running for ...
I'm not the one who claimed "everyone who has had the opportunity to meet him is very impressed." Have you done a survey?
I was more amused at Anne's suggestion the Nat's were in full panic mode over a candidate Labour only endorsed with some reluctance. LoL.
What is this 'campaign to demean Efeso Collins'? The only 'campaign' I've seen is from Labour, who seemed to want anyone but him.
The process was only uncontested because Hills announced in early February he would not be standing, and Shearer had already turned Labour down. Collins was far from Labour's first choice. "Collins has announced he is running for the mayoralty, but is ...
You said you suspected I was an apologist for those offshoots. The only thing worse than calling me a racist is denying you called me one. I would also remind you that Efeso was not Labour's first or even second choice, and so one thing I do like about him...
Brilliant cartoon, thanks! Malloy, Trump, Johnson, all peas in a pod.
That's a very lazy response, implying that criticising a candidate who happens to be Samoan must make me racist. Do you know my ethnicity?
I suspect National are not the slightest bit concerned. I've met Efeso a number of times and he's a nice guy with relatively modest intellect and certainly not the horsepower to run a city like Auckland.
Megan Rapinoe's words may be 'passionate', but not particularly rational. "So we need to start from inclusion, period." We already do. Women's sports teams are for biological women. That is inclusive of all biological women. That we're even discussing this...
"He claims that he has had support from a number of National Party members and that they want to endorse him." Molloy is a buffoon, who, time will show, is being economical with the truth. National will not endorse Molloy or anyone else, at least not ...
