Ok, so when my doc showed me an ultrasound of my tumor before it was removed, he was trying to humiliate me? Got it. |
Roe is not a law. It was a court decision on the Constitutional right to privacy. You don't think a right to privacy exists? |
Because it is still my body and my decision, not yours. Because this law assumes that I am too stupid to make fully informed decisions. You should feel free to carry as many pregnancies as you want to term. That's your choice. You don't get to take my choice away from me because you disagree with me. |
This reply is so irrelevant that it is actually baffling. If you think this is analogous in any way, you need to get a refund from whatever college you attended. |
No, your doc showed you an ultrasound because your doc decided, using his medical expertise and evaluation of your individual circumstance, that it was the appropriate action to take. And if you didn't want to see it, I'm betting he would've removed the tumor anyway. The Virginia Legislature, with NO medical expertise, has inserted itself into all relationships between a doctor and a woman to impose a wildly intrusive procedure for NO medical benefit because the legislature has decided that the woman is either dumb or not sufficiently ashamed of herself. |
I am not the poster asking for citation. I googled this and can't find it. Please put up or shut up. |
They could just as easily decide that the abortionist has to show a video of a heartbeat during the procedure. At least that does not invade any one's vagina. |
Did he force you to have the ultrasound? Or was it something you consented to? |
You'll forgive us if we don't shed any tears over you. |
traffic was light on 66 this morning. I guess the boycott is working! |
The issue is that there is a large portion of the world that believes a baby regardless of stage is another human being. Now the question is at what point is it? I believe we will see that it is probably at 14-16 weeks especially with new technology that can detect brain waves pain etc... so your argument will not be valid |
Totally. Just like how well the OWS movement worked. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |
Yes, it will be. Because it's still my body. I know you really don't like that and you disagree with my opinion and think I'm a horrible baby killing monster or whatever, but it's still MY BODY. NOT YOURS. |
but it isn't your body at that point - it is a separate body. separate DNA, separate heart, separate brain, separate. a 2 month old baby won't survive a weekend without care from his parents. how is that any different 6 months earlier? |
If you're trying to get me to admit that I'm in favor of late term abortions, you're not going to get anywhere. I personally wouldn't have one, but unlike you, I do not expect everyone to adhere to my moral code. I'm certain I don't agree with many of the decisions you've made regarding the conception, carrying, birthing and raising of your children. I'm certain you don't agree with many of my decisions. I am not telling you that you're not allowed to make those decisions. If you'd like to carry a pregnancy to term and then give that baby up for adoption, you should feel free to do that. If your doctor tells you that the fetus you're carrying has abnormalities that are incompatible with life and you'd like to carry that pregnancy to term as well, you should feel free to do that. It's not my business one way or another what you do. The only thing I'm asking is that when I am making decisions, with my husband and my doctor, about my reproductive rights, you stay out of those decisions because they are not yours to make. |
