    Police keep close eye on strange men who hang around children's playgrounds who aren't there with their children, but that's also in the open, where they can be seen by the general public. Bathrooms aren't.

    Now you're defending strange men who hang out at children's playgrounds?. OMG!

    Most people in developed countries would expect even children to be above that sort of lazy, stunted behavior.

    Wherever you live must be.... interesting, indeed.

    Well personal responsibility should factor into that also, just because you have a kid you cant afford doesn't mean I should be forced to pay for it. I'm not cho daddy.

    Why do you imagine republicans would have a problem with any of that?

    I don't want to pay for the diapers of others, and hate Obamacare because it's already almost doubled my insurance cost, but that has nothing to do with not caring for the safety of women and children.

    Because they have voted down or argued against laws that support any of these subject that would help women, children and or prevent pregnancies.

    You know it was the republicans in congress who removed the part of Obamacare that would make it so insurance costs wouldn't increase?

    And actually, theft got so bad in New York City at Port Authority, that for several years, they HAD to station police officers inside women's bathrooms, to protect them. Of course, they were women's police officers.

    We shouldn't have to have police officers stationed inside women's bathrooms --because men shouldn't be allowed to just walk into them.

    Research the legislative agendas of Republican and Tea Party politicians. Listen to their stump speeches. Watch their debates.

    Some day maybe you'll join the vast majority of human beings in objective reality. Hopefully, anyway.

    The republican stance is that people should stay virgins until marriage and only have children when they are ready to. Anything that helps prevent pregnancies like sex education and birth control they are against, the states under republican control teach abstinence only and don't give out any information on birth control. The personal responsibility line does not apply since the only time republicans seems to care is when people do get pregnant and are considering an abortion.

    My insurance was a lot better, and cheaper before Obamacare. It's total crap now.

    The "will of the people" is a tired old adage that has been used to trod on the rights of minorities for centuries. And apparently the judges are "corrupt" when they are doing their job in the way of making sure everyone enjoys equal rights. You far right conservatives are a unique breed of special I have to say.

    But you want transmen in women's bathrooms which makes it easier for people born men to get into women's bathroom. A lot easier for a man to slip in pretending to be a transman than it is to dress up like a woman and pretend to be a transwoman.

    But you see intent on ignoring this fact for some reason.

    So now the right is going to raise taxes to pay for genital inspection at all publicly accessible restrooms?

    Party of small government until it comes to enshrining their inbred bigotry into law.
