If you think the Republicans are "pro life", not sure what to tell you... |
It is not always black an white whether someone is having a life threatening medical emergency. Doctors do not want to lose their medical licenses, lose their job, or go to jail. They will be hesitant to perform necessary medical procedures or wait too long to perform them when there is a risk that aggressive prosecutors will try to jail them to treating their patients. |
You don't need to tell me anything actually |
Correct. Literally anything that is documented to reduce abortion rates - comprehensive sexual education, birth control options and access, preventative medical care, living wages, paid maternity leave, a strong social safety net - ALL of it is opposed by the Republican Party. They don’t care about life. They care about controlling women and causing us as much misery as possible. Meanwhile ED drugs are considered beyond reproach. Perhaps the post-menopausal woman would like to live in a world where her husband’s viagra is treated like the GOP treats birth control and abortion. He has to go to a few specific doctors, maybe up to 300 miles away from where he lives. He has to run a gauntlet of protestors who Potted Plant John Roberts says has every right to yell and spit in her husband’s face, you know, under the guise of “counseling.” Then he should have to get an internal ultrasound, just to check and make sure his prostate is okay - stop whining, guys, the wand isn’t that big; you should just relax. He should be counseled on the risks of sex when your body is clearly too old and in too poor of health for an any vigorous activity. Then a 24 hour waiting period. Then he can drive back home where hopefully his pharmacist’s conscience doesn’t agree that the decrepit old husband should be having intercourse that God says he’s too old for. But it’s not about sex. It’s about the GOP wanting to torture and control women. |
This. |
Pro-life also means giving children access to good healthcare, clean air & water, nutritious food, access to mental health services, GUN CONTROL, good schools and all of the other things Republicans are against. Republican pro-lifers are a bunch of hypocritical ghouls!!!! |
This could be same thinking for a medical procedures having nothing to do with pregnancy. If you cannot stand the pressure of making tough medical decisions you cannot be a doctor. Stop scare tactics that are not true. |
This. Guess what -- I'm pro choice but I actually don't like elective abortion for unwanted pregnancy because I view it as a policy failure. Women should never be in the position of being accidentally pregnant with a pregnancy they don't want -- it's bad for them and it's bad for babies who are born in that situation. So I actually believe in a lot of abortion prevention methods. Here's what we know prevents abortions: low cost and easy access to birth control and sex ed and teaching boys and girls about sexual consent. Also women who receive good reproductive healthcare generally are less likely to become accidentally pregnant because they are more likely to be informed about how that happens and how to prevent it. And you might think "whatever -- they know." But an alarming number of women believe it is not possible to get pregnant while you are breastfeeding. Guess what you can! Women who are receiving better post-natal care are more likely to be aware of that and therefore less likely to wind up with an unwanted pregnancy while they are still recovering from childbirth. I never hear Republicans advocating for ANY of those things. Not a single one. If you really don't like abortion that's a no brainer and yet the GOP has no interest. They are not pro-life. They are anti-woman and anti-choice and anti-information. |
Wow, you are dim. |
Of course. You clearly love living in a world of echo chambers and ignorance. However, in the spirit of goodwill, here's an image to help you feel more comfortable. ![]() |
What are you on about? I don't think you even know what you're talking about. Let's review: you said, "You think the stork brings you a nice big bouncing healthy baby?" After 8 abortions. I said they could have used birth control. Now you're talking about Trump who has no ability to do anything about abortion because its at the state level now. Do you know how this works? There is something really wrong with you. You are very, very confused. Its scary. Also a question mark then a period after your attempt and failure at insulting me. Holy crap. |
Do you have a brain? He hasn’t proposed banning birth control. He hasn’t proposed banning IVF either. He hasn’t even proposed a nationwide abortion ban. Harris and Democrats are saying those things to frighten women into voting for them. You are too dumb to see it. Harris knows she won’t be able to do anything for abortion rights as President, but she will use it as a wedge issue to scare dumb women like you into voting for her. |
+100 I'm genuinely concerned that people are this ignorant AND voting. |
