What's 'on you'? Can you be more specific, otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about...? Clothes on your body, egg on your face, wasting everyone's time?

I refuse to acknowledge the context in which you made that comment and lack the ability to apply basic deductive reasoning so could you please treat me like a particularly slow 5 year old and include the specifics please?

Ooft, my neck is getting sore from the weight of all these super-high standards crammed into my huge skeptic brain...!

"It's 2019 and Alabama made abortions basically illegal, something many people couldn't imagine happening in the 21st century. Don't take any of your rights for granted."

1)Is an abortion a right? Isn't that a privilege?

"These four women are elected for the US Congress, all they should care about are their voters and America. Why do they have to pass such an unrealistic test? If every american politician also have to be an successfull politician in a nother country than non of your politicians would be in office.

It doesn't sound that cool anymore if you think about it."

2)No one is saying they HAVE to pass any such test. Do you not know what a suggestion is?

1) What do you think is the difference between a right and a privilege? Rights are granted to everyone, an abortion right would grant abortions to everyone who can get pregnant (theoretically also to those who can't get pregnant but they don't really matter). Privilege on the otherhand always requires two groups, one privileged group and one unprivileged group, in case of abortion what would be the unprivileged group?

2) Typically if you suggesting something you also want it to happen or why did you even suggeste it in the first place. But this doesn't even matter in the discussion, Trump's suggestion was stupid and bigoted and I don't understand how anyone can defend him for that.

1) A privilege can be rescinded. A right cannot.

2) A suggestion isn't automatically enforceable. Trump's suggestion is not enforceable.
