Not really. Electing to actively end the life of another human verse allowing nature to run its course is not close to

Sure Dan. That's a valid response. How much do YOU think we should pay

I'm not sure what you are asking. Regardless of what he have to combat

We could also mandate current measures and drastically reduce that number even

How many people would have died if we didn’t do this social distancing thing? That’s the number we need to compare to

I don't know what the number is. It is at least 80k. But we should be

Agreed. I hope we don’t bail out big businesses. 0-interest loans maybe. I hope the only people bailed out are small

The seasonal flu is something we’ve dealt with for a long time and we know what

You injected something that is not part of my aurgument.

Sorry, once you've read 500 comparisons of the virus to the flu, they all run

Conflation on this element is appropriate.

Tough conversation to have as a republican/conservative given abortion

The philosophy on this is not nearly as settled as you are proclaiming.

If they're not struggling with that, they should. That is, at least if they want

There is no persuasion in the abortion debate. It’s a fool’s errand
