[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia can't outlaw abortions because of Roe v Wade. What is the point of this bill? Has the governor made any mention of signing it?

A state will eventually pass it, but one would think the Supreme Court would reject it because of the Roe v Wade and Griswold v Connecticut rulings.

Am I missing something here?[/quote]

Yes.  It's unconstitutional.  I don't know why people are wasting so much time discussing it and getting heated about it.  [/quote]

I have not gotten thru the whole thread, but I feel the need to address this.

It's unconstitutional now, but all of these laws are meant to being passed knowing they will be challenged in the hopes that Roe will be narrowed or overturned.  We are a generation of women who have become complacent because we think Roe and Griswold will protect us, but the law, while slow moving, is not static.  It is moving more conservative.   The rights we women have taken as givens in our lifetimes 
may not be there for our daughters.   
 
I don't understand why we are on DCUM complaining and why we are not writing letters and voting for the prochoice candidates.

And if you think it is just abortion rights we need to be worried about, there is now an assault on rights to birth control.   Once the personhood law is place, what's next?

You only need to visit the Holocaust Museum to understand how rights can be chipped away so slowly that no one notices until a population is marginalized and second class.  The history of the slow but tolerable law changes that affected the Jews so litlle each time that they didn't complain.  Bigger changes become easier after so many inconsequential ones.[/quote]

You are crazy to think that the holocaust victims are the same as not having abortion rights. If anything a stronger parallel to killing the unborn can be drawn to the holocaust IF IN FACT the unborn cut off date for life  was erroneous and abortion was indeed determined to be murder.[/quote]

I knew someone would not understand the holocaust museum reference. It wasnt about the holocaust, it was about the chipping away of rights.

And as for the cut off date in Roe, it was about viability. When could the fetus survive outside the womb?  Science has undoubtedly changed that timing now, but ask any mother of a micro preemie and they'll tell you viability doesn't mean anything to survival and quality of life.

Have you ever read the Roe decision? [/quote]

You still look like an idiot with that comparison.  Chipping away of rights based soley on religion is comparable how?[/quote]
