[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly how is this "in favor of overturning Roe v Wade"?  Up to 20 weeks sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

A bill filed in the Virginia House of Delegates this week would ban abortions after 20 weeks of gestation except in cases where the pregnant woman is at risk of death or “substantial and irreversible” damage to her health.

The bill bans abortions at the halfway point of pregnancy, unless the procedure is necessary to prevent the woman’s death, or “substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.”

Miyares literally joined the Mississippi Attorney General in the lawsuit designed to overturn Roe v. Wade. It’s literally the topic of this thread. The bill filed in the legislature is different (though also bad.)[/quote]

No - Miyares stated that the Constitution is silent on the issue of abortion (which it is) and that it should be left up to the individual states to decide.  I'm pro-choice and I agree with him.

So the right to private medical decisions should only exist when the majority votes for it? That doesn’t sound very pro-choice to me.[/quote]
