    it is not wrong for a catholic to vote for a prochoice president, in this political climate

    con hasn't addressed hte heart of hte matter. that is, that if nothing will change with abortion even if it was voted for, why is a person obligated to vote for that issue? it woudn't even matter what the alternative focus issues are so much, the list con gave at the end of his post, any of those could be the focus. with abortion as essentially a 'non issue' those other issues come to surface.

    Corporate broadcast TV news fails to make crucial connection between record-breaking California wildfires and climate crisis

    ANALYSIS Over the long Labor Day weekend, an explosive fire in the Sierra Nevada and record-shattering heat accelerated the climate crisis unfolding in California. The fires this season have already burned more acres than during any other year on record — and there are still several months left in the fire season. The wildfire media coverage over the three-day weekend and into Tuesday included horrifying images, footage, and accounts from those on the ground, and awestruck reporters onsite and in studios casting around for language that properly conveys the scope...

    Trump has been prioritizing some noticeable issues like...

    I don't vote. Change my mind. :p

    As a citizen, You are given the right to vote. Many people take this for granted. Many people aren't allowed to vote and have no choices when it comes to decsions about their life. I think you should take advantage of what you are enabled to do and vote! Right now we have a big fight that we need to win: getting Trump out of office. I encourage you to read this list of Cons/Failures of Donald Trump that might sway your mind: Trump is failed in controlling COVID-19 outbreak in the USA. As of August 2020, There 60 lakh cases & 82, 000 COVID deaths in the country. He withdrew the USA from the Paris Agreement on Climate change mitigation. This agreement is very important to work on environmental protection, And the withdrawal of the USA is a regressive step. Trump is against liberal immigration policies. This is affecting the employment of immigrants and also IT companies in the USA. He initiated the US-China trade war, Which affected many businesses and hence the global economy. Farmers in the USA faced losses because China imposed restrictions on its imports from the USA. Racism & white supremacy has increased in Trump’s term. Till recently, The USA was considered as a global leader by many. But many people are in the opinion that in Trump’s term, The USA is losing its position as a global leader. The US national debt has increased by approximately $6. 6 trillion under Donald Trump’s presidency. His self-promotion and launching himself as a brand game has been played strongly, More than the significant goals as a president. Trump has been through a lot of bankruptcy and he openly tries to bend the laws to his favour to save himself from the governments and banks to burden him anymore. This shows some flaws in his personality like a lack of responsibility towards his position. Trump has been prioritizing some noticeable issues like the Muslim immigration clampdown, Challenging the independence of the Fed, Bizarre and ill-qualified cabinet selections, Antagonizing China and other trading partners for no reason or embracing Russia and its rogue regime. This is not acceptable beyond limits and can turn people and communities against him. Under Trump, The US economy and long-term interest rates are sky-rising by day. This, In turn, increases the strength of dollars. This can be trouble for developing countries like Brazil, India and Russia, Whose economies are relatively low. The boosting of public spending and cutting down on taxes may be alarming as the rate of inflation will increase. This will also impact on financial trades. list used from: https://www. Groupdiscussionideas. Com/donald-trumps-presidency-pros-cons/ Is this the president we want for another 4 years? A person who only thinks of himself? A white surpremcist? A person who has created so many problems within the past 4 years? A person who ordered peaceful protesters to be arrested even though it's our right? Just think about the wellfare of your country and think of what would benefit everyone around you.

    it is not wrong for catholics to vote for a prochoice president, in this political climate

    "A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate's permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia," wrote Ratzinger, who is head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican department charged with ensuring fidelity to church teachings. But Ratzinger added: "When a Catholic does not share a candidate's stand in favor of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons." voting for a prochoice candidate despite them being prochoice is not engaging in propaganda for that law. and is not voting for it, it's voting in spite of it. the quote by con is irrelevant. and con hasn't even engaged my reasoning about how voting for a prolife candidate likely won't change anything anyway. the debate is essentially over. vote pro

    So, how many people were born on the 12th of January in...

    The Meaning of life is to support life and create change.

    I see your point about prey not "giving itself up" to its predator, but my point is not about animal or human instinct but more or less why there is life and why life has any point; not whether death supports life. Therefore, wouldn't the only reason life continues be because in the past living things died (not necessarily giving themselves up) to support future life; as well as different species evolving to support life whether they evolved to adapt to climate or to hunt prey or grow food ect. So, what about the "circle" of life? The supposed "Live, die, and your death supports new life?" What about how everyone dies but their death brings more life to other creatures. Step back for a moment and think of the population of earth. So, how many people were born on the 12th of January in 2001? How many people love the color red? How many people are married? How many are under the age of 18? Does any of this information matter enough to be considered life's meaning? Now, step back again and think of how many more people are born every day, how quickly the population is expanding, how many new technological advances are happening as you read this; these are reasons we all live, making us more invested in this information than others. Now, we think of people who are unkind and unrespecting of life and we think of these people lowly, as if they are terrible and sickly. These are people who do not care for others and do not respect life. People who have done amazing things to support the human race though, we remember them kindly and instead of being forgotten they are remembered and have had an impact on future life for the better. Leaving their memory with more respect than that of someone who did not aid in supporting life or advancing our species.

    Terrorists use our own media to terrify our people and create a climate of fear.

    The publicity that terrorist attacks get, and the dramatic, bloody, terrifying image that they create is repellent in its own right, using our own media to terrify our people and create a climate of fear. Furthermore, it serves to disrupt people’s daily lives by terrifying them away from certain activities (using public transport, air travel, travelling to certain countries, attending public meetings, etc.). This can also encourage a social backlash against ethnic, religious or political groups associated with the terrorists.
