Meanwhile every male has to register to be drafted to fight in war. Maybe the GOP and DNC should stay out of our young men’s lives and not force them to fight and die with their bodies for foreign countries and in foreign countries? |
I am in favor of giving people a choice of whether a genetically abnormal pregnancy should be carried to term. Yes, I think if severe autism was diagnosable in utero, you’d see people opting to terminate. Remember that statistics consistently show 60 to 90% of pregnant women with genetic abnormalities opt for termination. |
Okay, so let’s go through specifics. At what point can a mother terminate in this circumstance? |
Same as all other genetic abnormalities. |
I just find forced birthers like you to be so incredibly silly. You all talk like homeschooled middle schoolers - first in your class! - and so, so sure that the irrelevant lies you’ve been taught are the truth. It’s easy to sit smugly when you have never been challenged. You’ve never examined a single thing you were taught, and from the organized way you and the two other intensive posters are posting, I’d say my guess isn’t far from the truth and your mom said you could get extra credit for trying to convert people. The really funny thing is that if you are an older woman, as I am, statistically speaking you’re just as likely to have had an abortion as I am, but like all hypocritical forced birthers, your abortion is the only moral abortion. (So much so someone actually wrote a story gently mocking all you sick hypocrites. You should read it!: https://joycearthur.com/abortion/the-only-moral-abortion-is-my-abortion/) If you had stayed pregnant by Hank from Bible camp, you wouldn’t have been able to go to college, and you wouldn’t have Braxton, Kayden and Sophia with your husband, and that’s somehow different from the choices other women make. There’s literally no difference between your abortion and any other woman’s abortion. For the record, I’ve only ever been with one man and have never wanted, needed or sought an abortion. My miscarriages all resolved themselves (though with some scary bleeding as the other twin continued). I simply understand that women are people and that forced birther politics comes from a cold, dark, patriarchal, misogynistic culture that needs to control women. (Fun fact, since you really do talk like someone deep in the religious soup: you should read about Mary, mother of Jesus, was systemically written out of the important, Church continuing role she played as the Bible was edited over the years. Your church lies to you to keep you down, to insure that you Serena Joyly keep other women down, too. The patriarchy can’t exist without your willing participation.) |
When Americans are polled on this issue, no matter who does the polling, consistently, Americans broadly support abortion as a legal but rare option (uniformally in cases of rape or incest) during the first trimester. Support starts to fragment after that point. And taxpayers support of abortion is not popular. The right of a woman to pay for it herself in the first trimester is the most acceptable degree of abortion. This is not my personal opinion but polls show it to be broadly accepted in this country. |
That’s a non-answer. Specifically, what do you support? Do you support termination through nine months? Twelve weeks? You want to support termination in event of genetic anomalies: how exactly do you want that implemented? |
The ugly classism you freely show weakens any point you might have made. Your post is gross. |
