Moscow Mitch already said that it's part of the R agenda, to pass a nationwide ban on abortion if the Rs retake Congress. |
I’m pro-choice. Claiming babies aren’t alive before they’re born is insane. |
+1 |
+1 They're lying to make it all sound more normal. |
The point is, the US Constitution wasn't silent on what constitutes "citizenship" More important, if pro-choice people admit (as we do) that a late term fetus is "alive" then anti-Choice people should admit there is a pre-viability point at which a fetus is not alive, and that termination/choice should be totally fine. However, that isn't what we have now, is it? |
DP... The old testament and Jewish faith also hold that life begins at birth. But, that's not so much the issue. At what point does it have personhood? At what point does it have independent viability? To try and claim it has all of those things right at the moment of conception is also insane. |
There is scant evidence this has happened due to anyone's religion. Many people believe abortion is murder and they have concerns with murder for many reasons, some moral and some practical. |
But they are fine with the death penalty |
And they don't give a damn about the kid's life once he is born. The numbers of kids going into orphanages, foster homes, abusive and dysfunctional households will skyrocket. |
Oh yeah? Weren't they also laughing at Trump in 2015, saying he couldn't be elected? |
Yet that’s what the forced birthers are doing. Legal abortion is done for in multiple states and if the GOP wins in November, across the country. Facts don’t matter to forced birthers, their complete disregard for human life doesn’t matter. They hate women. |
They were, even as they were helping him get elected! |
Yup. They gave him endless hours of press coverage. Free ads. |
Citizenship isn’t relevant here. Personhood is. You are also going to lose the debate arguing that a pre-viable fetus is not alive so take a different tack. Termination/choice up to viability should be fine because it balances the right to bodily autonomy of the mother with the rights of the child. After viability, the state should be allowed to place some restrictions. Those restrictions might just be requirement of a doctor, life of the mother, imminent death of the fetus due to conditions that cannot be fixed. The reason Alito’s opinion is so weak is because it values the life of a fetus at conception over the bodily autonomy of the parent. The Mississippi law was going to be allowed to stand. The decision is between no bodily autonomy for the woman or federally recognized bodily autonomy up to 15 weeks minimum (states have option of longer). Which would you prefer? I’m pro choice, but I recognize that they have SCOTUS for the next five years minimum. Alito and Thomas are both in their early 70s. They’d have to both be replaced by liberal judges. This means keeping the Presidency and Senate through 2028 which means keeping the governorships in MI and PA. |
Those are exactly the type of vulnerable kids that pedophile priests prey on. So that work out perfectly for those priests. |
