At 15 weeks, the fetus seems like a baby to me. I remember sharing my pregnancy and a picture of my ultrasound at the beginning of my second trimester and it was indeed a baby. When the baby has a head and body, that is a baby. Assuming you have a baby being on this forum.

cool. tell that cute little story to the woman who was raped and is forced to give birth to a child she didn't want.

Will women be forced to give birth even if the baby is not healthy? Even if baby is not viable?
What about multiple pregnancy where a reduction could save the other fetus

So you support affordable and accessible abortions up to 12 weeks?

I do.

We're past the point of protest. I suggest getting your documents in order and if you can finding work elsewhere. Get out while you can!

Kudos to the SCOTUS on this. Always should have been up to the states.

But why exactly? I'm just looking for the rationale why it should be a state decision and not a federal one. I can't have children anymore so just curious for the next generation.

There is no Constitutional right to an abortion. The Constitution enshrines a very small number of fundamental enumerated and unenumerated rights. It doesn’t protect everything that’s good.

In the midst of a massive social and political fight over abortion, Roe and Casey created an obvious fiction: a Constitutional right to “privacy” that included a right to abortion. This removed the issue from the usual political process, and did irreparable damage to the Court and the country. Suddenly the Court was a 100% political institution.

Today’s decision delivers the issue back to the political process, where it always should have been. I am basically pro choice. I also recognize that someone isn’t crazy, or a bigot or a woman hater, if they really feel like aborting a fetus (particularly one that is viable, can feel pain, etc.) is murder or something close to it. It’s a complicated issue. There is going to have to be a compromise that leaves both sides unhappy. And the debate will continue, people will make arguments, mobilize votes. That’s what’s supposed to happen on hotly contested policy questions in a democracy.

Except it didn't. It only became a political cause several years later. Initially, RvW was a non-issue. But some parts of the political right were looking for a cause, and they picked this.

And we all believed it, too. For a long time.

Except for brown kids in their classrooms. The GOP don't think they matter all that much.

Nor anyone who has to breathe polluted air and has to live on a burning planet. That kind of death is better because businesses make money and it calls Jesus back! Win-win!

Except the woman who is carrying a bunch of cells.

They are cells in the beginning. I agree.

Second trimester fetuses are not just cells.

YOUR opinion and certainly not something to be imposed on people who don't agree with you

I think there should be carveouts like incest, rape and obviously medical problems and complications. I just don’t think a mom should be able to terminate at 4 months as a form of birth control.

Except they may ban birth control too. Or at least access to it. Maybe you would be willing to raise those babies?

Being a federal republic is not easy and I think we are seeing the challenges....

I can only assume that it is because you "grew up outside the United States" that you are so laughably unfamiliar with this country's history.

I’m not abandoning my country to the fascists. They are the minority.

There are people who will slut shame that woman and make money out of the baby using shady adoption practices

Isn't this the USA's selling point? That we are one big melting pot? I don't believe this has anything to do with cultural differences. It has everything to do with conservative white (men) losing ground on being the majority race in this country, and it scares the crap out of them. It's like being a minority in this country is bad or something? (/s).

Pro-life should be rephrased as pro-control, because that's what this is all about. Enacting laws to make sure that POCs and lower SES will stay inferior in this country. They are using the bible to justify their actions, while ignoring the fact that we have freedom of religion in this country.

Well there if you are raped, have medical complications or incest you have no options. So too bad.

This is the beginning, next they will come for many other rights.

Dems need to expand the court asap.

No one is banning birth control. Don’t be ridiculous.
