Look, if the Republicans continue to have their way, the government creep of regulating women's bodies is going to extend to prenatal testing... so if you are comfortable with that, by all means, vote Republican.

| Guess Hogan is just trying to split the baby . . . |

See the PP with the stats from the CDC. 93% are within the first 12 weeks. No fetus is viable at 12 weeks. I typically try to keep things cordial here but you're talking out of your a$$. |

+1 Great questions. The state economy stalled under his watch, Purple Line had cost overruns and was stalled, refused to send vaccines to the places where people actually wanted them. What exactly is his great achievement? Not being a COVID denier? |

Of course they are viable at 12 weeks. They can be viable (or not viable) at 2 weeks. You have no idea what you’re talking about and need to educate yourself on the definition of viability |

There is no such thing as 2 week fetus. At 2 weeks, there might not even yet be conception. |

You're talking about the viability of the pregnancy, not the embryo/fetus. "While there is no single formally recognized clinical definition of “viability,” the term is often used in medical practice in two distinct circumstances. In the first, “viability” addresses whether a pregnancy is expected to continue developing normally. In early pregnancy, a normally developing pregnancy would be deemed viable, whereas early pregnancy loss or miscarriage would not. In the second, “viability” addresses whether a fetus might survive outside of the uterus. Later in pregnancy, a clinician may use the term “viable” to indicate the chance for survival that a fetus has if delivered before it can fully develop in the uterus. Clinicians most commonly focus on the periviable period, which refers to weeks 20 through 25 and 6 days of a pregnancy. However, according to ACOG and the Society for Maternal–Fetal Medicine’s Obstetric Care Consensus #6, Periviable birth, rates of neonatal survival to discharge at this time range dramatically from 23% to 27% for births at 23 weeks, 42% to 59% for births at 24 weeks, and 67% to 76% for births at 25 weeks of gestation. The consensus also notes that deliveries before 23 weeks have a 5–6% survival rate and that significant morbidity is universal (98–100%) among the rare survivors. " https://www.acog.org/advocacy/facts-are-important/understanding-and-navigating-viability You're arguing that politicians should decide whether and when a pregnancy is viable. We're arguing that that decision is up to the pregnant person and their doctor. |

| If you want more judges like Aileen Cannon and Amy Coney Barrett, and more cabinet members like Ben Carson and Betsy DeVos, vote for Hogan. You can like him as a person, you can think he did a good job as governor. But unless you want a Republican-controlled Senate, you shouldn't vote for him. |

Don’t care. Abortion is probably item #36 in terms of importance on my list.
Can’t believe people care about it more than crime, taxes, schools, roads, jobs, etc…….you know, the stuff that impacts far more people’s lives than abortion. |

^^ you are just wrong. Without access to legal, safe, abortion care, women die.
It was the doctors who first pushed for abortion to become legal because they saw so many hemorrhaging women end up dead. Women in emergency rooms from back alley abortions. Abortions will happen whether they are legal or not. It's just a matter of how many more women will end up dead |

No, it is not just a medical issue, it is a values and morality issue regarding what counts as life worth protecting. |

Like I can make decisions about my child and other people make decisions about their child? |
