God says it's not

There is no god. I don’t care what 5 people thousands of years ago cobbled together. They have zero right to make any decisions in my life.

Oh wow that’s interesting. If a state tries to prosecute them for it I’m hear for that case.

That would be fascinating!

The next topic better be mandated federal health care. That's affordable and mental health care in addition to affordable child care and a living wage

That’s a nice thought, but we all know Republicans don’t give a shit what happens to kids after they’re born.

Are Supreme Court judges given protection? I wouldn't want to be Kavanaugh or Alioto eating in a restaurant.

Lots of people make decisions in your life. You can’t drive as fast as you’d like, you can’t smoke where you’d like, you can’t buy booze when you’d like, you can’t mistreat your kids any way you like.

Sure, but telling me I can’t access medical care that reduces my risk of death, isn’t those things.

People around here are pretty polite. But honestly I would spit in their general direction if I saw them.

No next topic. This is the topic. This is everything. This opinion would have more ramifications than most people realize.

Miscarriage is an act of nature. It is not an abortion.

In medical terms it is an abortion. Are you unfamiliar with the technical definition of abortion?

At any rate, prove that a miscarriage wasn’t self-induced. That is what Republicans will start asking. Just as conservatives in countries that ban abortion have done. And if a pregnancy is failing but the heart activity is still detected, doctors will risk sepsis instead of terminating. As has already happened.

This. Any medical intervention during a miscarriage is labeled as an assisted abortion. You can tell that many people who have an opinion about this actually don't have the facts

They write like 20 year old boys. They probably are.

Nope. Older woman here who has actually had a miscarriage.

When speaking of "abortion rights," a miscarriage and abortion are very different things. While a miscarriage is medically referred to as a "spontaneous abortion," there is no "choice" in a miscarriage. It is an act of nature.
Abortion, on the other hand, is very much about choice.

Abortion refers to the termination of a pregnancy, which may happen naturally or with medical intervention. A miscarriage is known as a Abortion refers to the termination of a pregnancy, which may happen naturally or with medical intervention. A miscarriage is known as a "spontaneous abortion."
Abortion is a term that refers to the termination of a pregnancy. This can occur with medical intervention such as medications or surgical procedures or it can occur on its own.

A miscarriage is called a spontaneous abortion, and refers to a pregnancy loss before the 20th week of gestation or the expulsion an embryo or fetus weighing 500 g or less. Miscarriage at this stage occurs in about 31% of pregnancies.

Did you require medical assistance to complete your miscarriage? Because that assistance is what some of us are saying could be put in jeopardy here.

Did the PP actually have a D&C for her miscarriage? I’m guessing not since she’s not familiar with the terminology.

It is considered an abortion. That’s how it is referenced for scheduling and insurance.

Mechanically, they may be the same procedure but they are being done for different reasons.

In one, the child is already dead (or not viable, say partially formed). In the other, the pregnancy would continue if the procedure was not initiated. Having necrotic tissue sitting there is not safe at all.

Do you know much about late term abortions and why they happen? Because “partially formed” is usually part of the analysis. And its clearly ok to criminalize it under this opinion.

How can we get rid of the electoral college? That is a big part of the problem.

Also, I am sick of the "pro life" pundits on TV who keep saying "the decision is being returned to the people."

NO, it was with the people, when individuals could decide if they needed an abortion. Now it is being returned to extremist state legislators who are mostly white men who were elected because of gerrymandering.

None of that is dictated by religion.
