The problem with Allen West is that he is a complete hypocrite. Why you might ask? Well, he is staunchly against "vaccine mandates" because he says people should have the right to control their own bodies... unless you happen to be female and capable of becoming pregnant in which case Mr. West is totally against her having control over her own body! These 2 points of view he (and far too many other Republicans) have are completely unreconcilable... ergo, he is a hypocrite sorry to say. You cannot both be for control over your own body and government control over your own body, the 2 beliefs contradict each other. Just saying. We need better than that kind of "leadership"!
Here we go again! Another person that can't count! There is a human being inside the human being. That's 2 lives not 1. So when you talk about Colonel West being a hypocrite, check yourself... In Texas if you cause an accident where the individual is pregnant and you happened to cause the death of the adult and their baby, that's double homicide. 2 humans, not 1!! This whole argument about abortion would pretty much go away if people would just put on condoms. And don't tell me they can't afford that! 98% of abortions are from irresponsibility not raping incest. And ask yourself what are they doing with all those shredded up mutilated human babies? Sick sick sick sick sick.
And when do YOU call it a baby? I'm a physiologist. If a person is grown up enough to have sex then their grown up enough to take responsibility for that and do right by the "fetus" they created. People that are smart and care about life know to PREVENT the conception in the first place If they're not ready, don't have the money, or whatever reason. Colonel West is a fine human being and I will be volunteering for his campaign for Dallas County Republican Party Chair.
You can go volunteer at your local fetus baby slaughterhouse.
The one thing we can agree on, is that better sex education and the proper and consistent use of birth control could render the abortion debate almost moot... almost except, for cases like the Cox woman last week who with her HUSBAND WANTED to have another child but the fetus was found to be non-viable by her doctor but in our ridiculous State of Texas she was told she HAD to carry a non-viable fetus to term whether doing so harmed her or not... and that, ain't right by any measure I can possibly think of. Nobody should be able to interfere with the doctor/patient relationship under any circumstances imho, especially Big Government like Texas AG and Texas Supreme Court! If a doctor says it's the right thing to do for their patient, then anybody who disagrees or attempts to interfere is in the WRONG!
Hey, you know what is so great about scotus overturning roe v Wade, which Ruth Ginsburg said more than once was a "terrible piece of jurisprudence and should have been given back to the states." Cheers to Ruth on that! And btw, in Texas You can still get the morning after pill. It's $40. I am also a precinct chair and an election judge.
West had a very specific Day One plan. He had figured out the constitutional issues, and was ready to act. But the deep state shot him down to keep their pet RINO. I wonder if the pet RINO is probably benefiting from the "Catholic Charities" making bank "aiding" the invaders. SCAM
I am glad Abbot did the bus thing, but that was a cowardly placating move to keep the masses appeased. Better they never got to a bus in the first place.
I'm sure the bushies and the romnies will be promoting their good-boy abbot to some cushy congressional role if America even exists in a couple of years.
Just for clarity, the Catholic Charities isn't the only one abetting the invasion. There are 10 key religious "non-profits" taking our tax dollars and abetting this invasion which is illegal under our laws. How many of the self acclaimed 'good Christians" out there are demanding their Church abide by Caesar's Laws??? Most turn a blind eye to this criminality so they can remain "part of their herd" and pretend christianity. Makes me sick frankly, at the hypocrisy. Here are the 10 VOLAGS currently aiding and abetting criminal aliens invade our border. https://cis.org/Rush/Private-Refugee-Resettlement-Agencies-Mostly-Funded-Government
Thank you for your response. The subject matter is yucky, but your thoughtful response made me glad I said something. And your link is fantastic. Thank you!
On the one hand, making the rest of the country really *feel* the pain that border states have been experiencing for decades is not a bad thing... but on the other hand, you're helping disperse people in our country illegally such that they'll never be able to be found to deport them! In other words, the buses are going the wrong way! Just saying.
I have felt Abbott could do more that he is doing about our Border crisis! It always seems to come down to his donors! I believe Tucker "says it like it is!" I am glad he told Abbott what he did AND did it to his face! I, too, voted to have Ret. Col. Allen West as our governor and still plead to him today to "get back into the race!" He told me he is praying about it. All I can say and keep saying is "God help us!"
The legislature was considering clawing back the obscene profits some energy companies made in February 2021. Then Kelcey Warren gave Abbott a $1million dollar bribe er "campaign contribution". Shortly after, the bill landed on all of Texas gas and electricity customers for extra payments each month for about the next 30 years.
The Harris family of Colony Ridge has given... sorry, "donated".... some $1.5 million to Abbott to look-the-other-way as their huge 99% Hispanic development consumes Liberty County TX. Beat that! Just saying. :-(
And here we go again.... where in the Constitution does 1 human being have the right to exist inside of another human being? Pretty sure there is no such right. If you evict a human being squatting inside your home, they could die out in the weather without shelter... does that mean you must allow them to remain inside your home even though you don't want them there? Please, do tell... :-\
When it is born or otherwise can continue living outside of a womb (natural or artificial).
So you are saying then that it's all about punishment for having sex? Hmmm... that sounds like a purely religious argument to me. Who are YOU to punish someone for having had sex? It's like, you want to use babies to punish their sperm/egg donors with... and that, I cannot possibly agree with on any level.
Also I must point out that there is no 100% effective birth control other than spaying or neutering (even vasectomy's for males are not 100% effective, the tubes have been known to grow back to each other and reconnect).... if you got the parts and they are in decently good working order, then you can still start a pregnancy in spite of being as responsible as you can possibly be. Abstinence (before you say it!) is not realistic unfortunately (just ask Sarah Palin's daughter about that!).
One thing I agreed with then President Obama on was that if there were no unwanted pregnancies then there would be no need for medical abortions (beyond cases like Mrs. Cox that's been making the news this past week or so). Rather than continually fighting about whether abortion is baby murder or medical treatment, why can't people agree on doing everything reasonably possibly to prevent unwanted pregnancies to begin with? That would solve so much of the problem right there, don't you agree?
Now as much as I enjoy a spirited debate, we are however straying quite a ways away from the original article and our original comments. My opinion that Mr. West is a hypocrite stands whether you agree with it or not and I want better candidates to pick from than that. Regards!
I would much rather have Col. Allen West as our Governor!!!

btw: Try reading a Biology book sometime... you might learn that a Fetus is NOT a baby by any definition! smh!

Also... try looking up the definition of "hypocrite" in a dictionary sometime friend. You might learn something. Just saying.

I'm so disappointed in Greg Abbott! Supported him for years! Now he's nothing but a RINO LETTING TEXANS DOWN!
He was ALWAYS a RINO. Many folks just refused to acknowledge that fact.
I'm so sick of idiots like Benny Johnson singing Dead leg Greg's praises.

I really wish Abbott could stand for something but instead he always just rolls over for his donors.
I'd like to roll him into the Rio Grande lol
Abbott always checks which way the political winds blow and unless they favor him, he does nothing. We Texans deserve better.
Hope folks wake up in the next election and vote accordingly...For now, keep pushing back and voice your angst

Praying is not a plan! So I think you might need to look elsewhere for a real leader to get behind and support. Just saying.
