No, we just want babies to be born so they can live. Were not telling the baby how to live. No, we are saving the baby from being killed. This world is big enough and ready to take care of the kids. It's time to either keep your baby, give your baby away or think twice before you hook up and make sure you have protection if you don't want a baby.

The comment was about the kneeling and kneeling has nothing to do with the military. Your dear leader just spun it that way so you could attack without being revealed.
I find it telling that anything to do with civil rights is immediately attacked by the right, you all find a way.
I went back to 2016 and I can say 100%, you have lost every honest battle. The thing you guys can do to win is cheat, lie and steal from others. No more pay to play brah!!!
SCOTUS rules football coach can take a knee and silently say thanks after a game...
"It elevates one individual’s interest in personal religious exercise, in the exact time and place of that individual’s choosing, over society’s interest in protecting the separation between church and state, eroding the protections for religious liberty for all,"
The logic shared above is just plain Daft....

Its a really stupid ruling imv. Now any coach, or player, can decide to "pray" to any God or all Gods, or anyone they think could be a God, or not a God, on the halfway line at the end of a game. This should be fun. I wonder if he had been a Satanist, would SCOTUS have found in his favor - or if he had been an Imam coaching on the side, but who whipped out his prayer mat, pointed East and thanked Allah (silently), but with players, if they wanted to join in. I'm not so sure.
Thankfully, both the Satanist and Imam and Wiccan Witch and anyone else, can all now feel free to do so.
Stupidity.
Some guy grabbing a knee on the fifty yard line after a game and praying to whom or whatever doesn't change my life in anyway.
As long as the dude isn't blocking the exit, he can stay and ponder life as long as he wants...more important things to worry about.
"Sometimes, the broadcast cameras at a National Football League game catch the action on the 50-yard-line after the game, sometimes they don’t. But every year, for the past 30 years, a group of players from opposing teams kneel and pray together in the middle of the field."

A "group of players". all adult professionals, is substantially different from a coach calling teenagers together in a huddle.

It doesn't change mine either. The representation that he was kneeling and silently doing whatever he was doing, isn't quite right though, irrespective of what Gorsuch said in his opinion or more to the point ignored in his opinion.
TBH its actually a crock of shit. If he was a Christian, he'd stand there silently after the game (wherever, as God doesn't care where you pray from) and give thanks that everyone is fine and that it was played fairly - if he was so inclined. But no, he had to walk to the center line and enter "the field of battle" (like wtf) and kneel and lead people in prayer, helmets held high, with kids feeling coerced into participating (he coached the JV team and assistant on the varsity).
As I said, if he was a Satanist, the same people celebrating this decision would have been frothing at the mouth at him doing it to begin with - and SCOTUS would never have made this decision.
Well Magoo according to the ruling, which I'm sure you read, the coach did not call teenagers together in a huddle.
"The contested exercise here does not involve leading prayers with the team; the District disciplined Mr. Kennedy only for his decision to persist in praying quietly without his students after three games in October 2015."
Read up then perhaps you can explain the ruling to whatithink as it's apparent she didn't read the ruling either.
The SCOTUS ruling:
Baloney.... Read the ruling and then claim nonsense...the school district broke the law. Period.
Gorsuch lied and you're a sucker to believe him.
The Supreme Court hands the religious right a big victory by lying about the facts of a case
Kennedy v. Bremerton School District is a big victory for the religious right, but only because Gorsuch misrepresents the facts of the case.

Prove what you claim Magoo...can't wait to read this horseshit.
So you didn't read the article? I can't present a better proof than that.
I'm agnostic and think in many cases organized religion is a complete load of BS. However, how does someone taking a knee for their "god" impact you? Heads up, it doesn't in the slightest and I don't know why you feel so threatened by it. Whether you take a knee for a "god" or the flag doesn't impact me at all, although it does tell me a lot about you.
Do you support the right of an athlete to take a knee for our anthem or for the flag? If you do, how do you rationalize the hypocrisy?

Gorsuch literally dismissed photographic evidence that it wasn't "just" the coach kneeling silently but rather it was the coach leading players (kids) and adults in prayer. Gorsuch was very selective to (purposefully) get to his (intended) conclusion.
As for "the entire SCOTUS" -- I must presume that you didn't read the published opinion after page 40 of the document you linked.
That bears almost no resemblance to this case. LE posted the link to the published opinion -- I urge you to read the whole thing and not just the parts he liked.
LE likes to think that when he posts "Period." that then everyone must now agree with him, no matter how many times he has looked like a fool for doing so.
