It's now easier to perform an abortion in the state of New York than to legally apply a tattoo.

Your hate is uncalled for. Shame on you. She sounds more "educated" than most of you. And she has a heart. Kudos to her.

DP- Heart is fine, but she needs to work on the brain part. This is life and death stuff. She is essentially advocating against the health of the mother. All the warm fuzzy good feels in the world won’t bring your sister back from complications in the 33rd week.

Did you know that pro-life people consider the IUD a form of abortion?

Is that true?

If they really wanted to reduce real abortions they should be open to IUDs since they are effective.

Then they should rename this as DC Urban Scientists and Doctors.

Perhaps you need to work on the development of your heart. As for your brain: I'm hearing from physicians who don't agree with you. So you need to work on your brain, as well.

Anyone who is not a politician or has a degree in political science is now not allowed to voice their opinion about anything to do with politics.

If anyone on this thread needs to work on their heart development, it’s the anti-choicers. Re read the hooded about fifty times and see if you can figure out why you need to work on your heart.

And especially for the 18 year old, read about the women on this thread. https://mobile.twitter.com/laurenarankin/status/1091341366465101824 These are women who want nothing more than to take their baby home with them, and they are not going to get to do that. Some women wish to carry to term. Some women do not want the agony of being visibly pregnant and knowing that their baby is dead. It is one of the vilest acts of misogyny to force a woman to carry a doomed pregnancy to term.

I read the story. It’s good in the end though that the rapist’s joint legal custody was revoked.

Basically what I think it comes down to is whether abortion is murder or not. Let’s say the mother may die if she doesn’t abort. If she chooses not to abort, there is a small chance that both the mother and baby will live. But if she does choose to abort, there is a 0% chance that they both will live, every time. I do care about women’s health. My anti-abortion stance doesn’t mean I don’t care about women’s health or the suffering that they go through. I totally empathize with them. But I can’t ignore the unborn’s life. 600 million babies have been aborted in the US. I just feel like that’s too many. Abortion should be a last-case scenario, but I feel like it’s turned into a convenience for many people. So that’s what I struggle with.

I did know that some pro-life hold that opinion, and moreover that some of those do not distinguish better the different IUDs with different mechanisms of action.

Were you the person who asked the initial question about long-acting forms of birth control?

SO if you struggle so much with the number of abortions, you must be a zealous advocate for accessible and effective birth control to prevent conception, right?

Because you know that the data shows that is the most effective way to decrease the number of abortions, right?

I would advocate abstinence from sex until marriage. Because when you say, “use birth control” you are saying it’s okay to have sex as long as it’s safe. But morally I believe it’s wrong to have premarital sex at all, whether people use contraception or not. So rather than advocating for accessible birth control, I would advocate for abstinence. For people who are married, I believe using birth control is fine. I think they should just know that there is still a chance that they might get pregnant, because birth control isn’t always 100% effective. I know I’ll probably take a lot of heat for having this view , as it’s not a popular view.

Yeah, you didn’t read what I linked. And you have no idea what we’re talking about here.
