[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing with abortion as a "lifestyle choice". Things happen.

Birth control fails.

Sometimes the circumstances after we get pregnant change and it is no longer a good option to have a baby, ie: the father leaves, job loss, etc.

Also, we are humans, mistakes happen, and there are some women who just do not have the capacity to raise a child.

Either way, as a Christian, the Bible tells us, "Judge not, that ye be not judged."

Abortion laws should not be determined based on who should have one and who shouldn't. It makes every women go through some sort of test as to whether or not she should be allowed to have an abortion. This is already a devastating situation for women to walk into an abortion clinic or hospital, and to have that extra layer of trauma is just cruel. Just let women live their lives.

Yep, which is why I have repeatedly said that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare.

You seem to be in favor of lifestyle abortions. Im not, but I respect your right to make your own choice. Which is why the law should allow for each of us to make our own choice. [/quote]

But the democrats don’t want abortion to be rare, and they oppose the Hyde amendment so they want you to pay for it.[/quote]

You’re misinformed and deliberately obtuse. And this is why people are getting indignant with you OP. It’s almost as if you’re concern trolling. [/quote]

Democrats dropped the rare wording and have continually sought to drop the Hyde amendment but such attempts were thwarted. Where exactly do you get your news from? Try widening your media outlets to keep updated.

Here’s Vox on the pressure to drop the “rare” wording

Here’s NPR on just one of Biden’s attempts to drop Hyde

From your article:
“During the lead up to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Biden reversed his longtime position on Hyde, joining other Deocratic hopefuls in saying he would work to overturn it.

“If I believe healthcare is a right, as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone’s zip code,” Biden said in June 2019.”

My god, the horror. [i]The horror[/i].

As to your 2019 article: “But over the years, abortion rights advocates have pushed back against the phrase. “Safe, legal, and rare” implies that getting an abortion is something that “you should be apologetic for,” reproductive justice activist Renee Bracey Sherman told Vox. “It places the blame on the person who’s had an abortion, as if they just did something wrong to need one, rather than addressing the systemic issue as to why someone might not be able to have access to consistent health care or contraception.””

Nah, better just to make sure health care is dependent on where in the United States of America a woman lives and we should probably start shaming women for abortion more, too. [/quote]

Was this some sort of attempt to backtrack from accusing me of being misinformed? If so, it fails. I told you democrats have pulled away from the “rare” wording and I also said they have pushed to do away with Hyde, and provided the receipts.[/quote]
You posted those in reply to one person. And I’m here to say that if I have to pay for your husband’s ED meds, you should have to pay for a woman’s abortion. Them’s the breaks.

And as to rare: I think it was a thing Bill Clinton said thirty years ago. I think the GOP’s tack of making women’s health care illegal is far dumber than politicians moving away from the word “rare.” [/quote]

Glad you agree that Democrats don’t believe in rare and want others to pay.

I’m fine with the current laws.  Good luck changing them! You don’t have the votes unfortunately.  And you’re about to lose the presidency too.[/quote]
