No one should get to vote on the bodily autonomy of another human being. One who is living and breathing and is able to vote and pay taxes and is a United States citizen. |
All of that was permissible policy without erasing women’s rights. |
+1. Plus people tend to be pretty ignorant of how many and why abortions occur later in pregnancy. |
I aborted a fetus with a trisomy. 4 months later I got pregnant with a healthy baby who is the light of our lives. She is an incredible person who I have no doubt will contribute greatly to society, unlike the one that I terminated, who would have cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions of taxpayers dollars over their lifetime and ended up in a home when we die. Our daughter would have never been born had I kept the prior pregnancy. What does a Christian have to say to that? |
Does anyone know what % of abortion are because of "Rape" or something bad that happens? |
Many abortions come from women in abusive relationships, often forced to have unprotected sex. |
What's your definition of "bad"? Rape - bad Incest - bad Abusive partner - bad Birth control pills were tampered or did not work - bad Condom broke - bad Ectopic pregnancy - bad Miscarriage - bad Fetal abnormalities not consistent with life - bad You're probably looking at 70%+ of abortions covered by that list of "bad" scenarios. This is why trying to legislate a list of carve-outs is a dumb idea. You can't possibly cover every scenario. |
Rape - bad Incest - bad Abusive partner - should leave partner Birth control pills were tampered or did not work - gift from god Condom broke - gift from god |
All unwanted pregnancies are bad. Every woman who has had an abortion has a story for you. |
So no IVF, after all gift from god? |
Really if your idea of God is some sort of invisible Loki type sitting back zapping human stuff to break it then slapping a bow on it and calling it a gift, that is a strong argument of the need for separation of church and state. |
God gave us the brains to figure out solutions to many reproductive issues. Stay out of these decisions. They are for each individual woman to decide |
John Cornyn wants to overturn Plessy vs Ferguson/Brown vs Board of Education," Cornyn tweeted on Saturday (June 25). There is no end to this. |
They had an insurrection, of course the neo KKK is emboldened. |
I’m no Cornyn fan and he should have written that clearer, but come on. |
