Just overlook that whole conception thing.
No but anything that regulates business or commerce in a way that might protect people is pooped on as an attack on our freedom - via lobbying from the corporations that fools the people who are going to be protected.
Anything that provides gender or sexual-orientation equality is shitted on as an attack on religion.
Many people would disagree. Hence, any attempt to regulate a woman's choice becomes...wait for it....unnecessary regulation. The same thing conservatives whine constantly about, but would love to impose, when it suits them and their religious beliefs.

Oh yeah, a "woman's choice" to kill her baby. Yes, we don't want to regulate that. Might as well not regulate a "woman's choice" to kill her teenage kids either. I suppose it should be her choice, afterall.

I'm not against Electric cars! I just have some very real down to Earth questions for you though. And this isn't as a conservative or a liberal or anyone else. This is just a guy that is scratching his head, because it doesn't make any sense.
You make this claim that electricity can be produced all these different ways and it would be a no brainier to just set all this up pronto. The rolling black outs that states already have without having everyone and their brother having an electric cars tells you we can keep up with the need how exactly?
The best battery we can produce and recharge are lithium the last metal they can find to do this with. The less dense the metal the better the battery. Thing is that's the last in line... And even then... They don't last long enough for transportation needs of anyone that isn't within 50 miles of their home and don't have kids to take here there or the other. And they take 8 to 10 hours to recharge.
Now if you want to convert gas stations so they carry tons of batteries like a store carries replacements for natural gas for the back yard bbq so every whatever miles someone is on a road trip or even just out to the other side of town can just swap em out, then sure. But no battery is the same these days. So you are stuck basically within a short distance. Add to that the issue of what's going on around your car. How would people in Michigan heat their vehicles in the winter? People in Texas cool their vehicles in the summer and even go 20 miles? How will people in Seattle that have to run their windshield wipers probably the most of anyone in this Country even do this? What if you do all this and would like to listen to some tunes?
Everything you use draws from the battery. There is no way to recharge as you go that doesn't burn the battery already down. Here's my example
I live in Texas. In the summer it can get to 110+ and has for days and weeks straight. I am having a hard time believing that any electric car would be able to stay around much less cool in the summer efficiently enough that it wouldn't run down my battery before I even got to work or went to the store and back.
Sure in the future we can all have pink bunny rabbits and eat candy canes, but right now in the real world. We have neither the infrastructure in place, any sort of thoughts on long range travel for shipments or going to Grand Ma's for Thanksgiving, or any sort of a thought of how if the weather isn't perfect or you want to just sit in your car and listen to the radio, how that will effect the battery life. if everyone just said, OK I'm an electric vehicle man today, the cost of everything would blow up as there is absolutely no way to ship anything over a long distance with electricity.
And to touch on your things that produce electricity...
Hydro/Wind/Solar make up about 8.5% of our energy production
Coal/Natural Gas/Petroleum/ 71.8%
Nuke is 19.4%
The EPA is pushing to close every Coal/natural gas/petroleum plant they can find and you think we can keep up with having to recharge every car with Nuke plants that no one wants near their house, with wind mills no one wants by their house, with solar panel farms that no one wants by their house and Hydro plants that only work from dams on rivers that have become unstable as floods etc etc happens?

I'm not going to get into a debate on abortion, what I am saying is that there is a large segment of the human population that does not believe a fetus to a certain age is a person/baby. This differs from teenager-killing in that it is basically unanimous among human that teenagers are persons and therefore granted protection.
Given that discord....any attempt to regulate a woman's choice becomes...wait for it....unnecessary regulation. The same thing conservatives whine constantly about, but would love to impose, when it suits them and their religious beliefs.
Corporations...let em do whatever they want. If you don't you're a capitalism hating commie.
Women? Decide what they can do for them.

Sorry but anyone with a brain not trying to push an agenda would know that the living being inside the woman is just not some part of the woman's body that she can do whatever she wants to with it.
The entire choice argument is bogus since its not about the the woman herself but about a separate being.

I'm glad we agree.

Good to know you think abortion is wrong and should be illegal even if neither you or I have one.
Are you being intentionally obtuse or are you just stupid?
What part of the fact that a HUGE segment of our population disagrees with you about abortion are you not getting? As opposed to things like murdering actual human persons and robbery?
