Tiny meatballs and pigs in a blanket is basically the hors d'oeuvre version of gold plating, so I guess that's absolutely what I would expect.

You keep thinking he can't be any more ####ed in the head, and he proves he might be the most ####ed in the head individual in history. He should be required to pass a mental fitness test immediately, even though he clearly cannot.

####, that makes me angry reading that. Trump is truly a piece of #### human being. "Didn't look like they should vote"?? WTF are you implying you racist bastard.

Trump's people have their own private email server. I wonder where the moral outrage is on this?

Feel bad for Bernhard Langer getting dragged into this unnecessarily. Now he gets to be pestered by reporters about Trump's rambling incoherence. Is there any doubt left Trump has dementia? There's no 941 degree chess going on here like his supporters and cultists think. He's just seriously mentally ill, and acting like it. No deep plan here...he's just crazy.

I don't think there's anyone in the world with less chill right now than Vicente. What a treasure.

Looking forward to an entire season of South Park coming dedicated to the new POTUS and his glorious regime.

Being a devout Christian or being a former Miracle Network posterboy really confuses this issue.

I think women have the right to choose but I know for a fact that if my parents were not as incredibly wonderful as they are, I would not be responding to this post.

Children have the right to life, but there are indeed circumstances where a woman has every right in the world to choose.

In my opinion which is again just my opinion the majority of women are great people (I married the bestest of all women). Who would always love and care for and protect their childrend, however there are a minority that would find the slightest birth defect with todays technology and say ahhhh to hell with it....abort!!!!

I would not be alive today writing this, if I had been born to a person such as this and I would say my professional and volunteer pedigree would lead to the conclusion that it was a good thing I was born.

Can we expect a massive democratic win in the next midterm elections to at least offset some of his craziness? Surely even the most ardent republican voters would go for that.

The bottom line is, Republicans want to control what women do with their bodies, because Jesus.

No, the system has been rigged to ensure republican majority.

Pretty much. For all of the pissing and moaning about the fear of Muslims setting up minor theocracies in Western countries, we've completely ignored the major Christian theocracy growing next door, and now it's pretty much unstoppable.

I will reply to my reply. In a perfect world any child born in good circumstances would be allowed to be born.

I am so very graciously lucky that I have the best parents I think anyone could ever ask for who supported me and made me into honestly the great man I am today.

If this was my only experience I would say of course women have the right to choose 100% of the time, because hey my parents chose right and groomed me despite my "deficiencies" to become a professional and physical powerhouse. I get complimented on my looks and my business acumen on the daily and I am in my twenties.

But I have met women and couples, some fantastic, but some superficially vain and horrible, these women with todays technology would have taken one look at my "deformities" which turned out not to be much at all and said "no my child is not perfect, abort now!"

This just cannot happen, so how do you balance this?

Hockeyboy2, undeniably there is that segment of the population. At the same time though, if there is someone who doesn't want a child, and is willing to go through an invasive medical procedure not to have that child, maybe they shouldn't have the child. If a child is aborted, it indicates to me that the woman isn't interested in raising the child. I don't know the statistics for adoption for children with developmental disabilities, but I do know from volunteering with these children that a high percentage of them live in group homes or care centres.

Your experience may differ but don't confuse that with being the norm. If someone doesn't want the child it does more disservice to the woman, the child and society at large to force her to deliver the child to term.

The strange thing is in the USA, they can force the mother to have the child to term and then have a complete lack of supports afterwards and the right wing loves it. It is bizarre to me that as soon as the baby is born, it is "mission accomplished" and best of luck... postnatal care - Nope; maternity/paternity leave - Nope; government funded childcare - Nope (admittedly we lack this in Canada too); pediatric care covered - Nope. Immunizations covered - Double Nope... just horribly misplaced ideals.
