"There are 30 states (plus the District of Columbia) that require electors to vote for a pledged candidate. Most of those states (21 plus DC) nonetheless do not provide for any penalty or any mechanism to prevent the deviant vote from counting as cast. Five states provide a penalty of some sort for a deviant vote, and six states provide for the vote to be canceled and the elector replaced (two states do both)."

But it is different from other states in that in Maine the winner take all does not necessarily go to the winner of the popular vote in Maine.

Of course, Maine has made no changes at this point.

It has only ever hurt Democrats. Hence, a most excellent system.

We need a single party Communist state and Republicans need to live in a gulag in Alaska

You already tried that, and it didn't work (except that the republicans were living in Siberia). Too bad Marxism doesn't work...

Socialism didn't fail, it was betrayed. Communism will win.

Yeah, in Hell. Where it will inevitably triumph over Nazism.

Not an argument. And not the same thing. But I appreciate the attempt

It is hilarious that leftists like you think viagra is somehow an equivalent comparison to birth control pills

I am sorry that I burst your bubble with facts

An IUD = an iPhone

This comes to $15.89 per month over a 5-year period.

You are still making my argument. Surely a woman can afford $15/month not to get pregnant.

Planned Parenthood charges $500 for an abortion.

Good ROI $15 month is three Starbucks coffees a month. Hardly a sacrifice

A person can have very strict religious beliefs but does not want to let those interfere with the investment choices of the employees.

Makes no sense. You either believe in something or you don't. Of course, religion isn't the place to look for continuity. If you don't allow your employees to have an IUD, then you really shouldn't allow them to profit from same. If, of course, you truly don't believe in the concept.

So your claim is that everyone can afford an iPhone?

**canceled.2021.2** · 05-20-2019, 07:01 AM

According to Apples sales figures it looks like many people can

Fortunately there are other options than an IUD

A woman can get a three month supply at Walmart for $24

That comes to $0.27/day

Surely even the poorest of women can afford $0.27/day can’t they? I mean if not getting preggers is that important it should be

You are out of your depth here. Stop while you are behind
