[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this has been explained upthread, but isn't he lying about Europe? Don't many EU countries allow numerous exceptions beyond 15 weeks? And he claims his bill has exceptions but that's bull? [/quote]

Actually he's 100% right about Europe. Very few exceptions beyond 15 weeks. He's exposing Democrats as fraudsters, to say the least.[/quote]

Very few except the reasons that most women get abortions after 15 weeks: fetal abnormality, the health of the mother (health, not life), underage pregnancy, etc. Now the most common reason— lack of access— is addressed by easy access to publicly funded abortion before 15 weeks. Where is the Republican proposal to model Europe in that respect?[/quote]

Obamacare would have been a great opportunity to model things after Europe (15 weeks, easy access). Too bad.[/quote]

Are you advocating a full-scale adoption of European model or not? You can’t pick and choose. You want 15 weeks, it’s 15-16 weeks with public funding and guaranteed access. After that it’s available to protect the health of the mother, in cases of fetal abnormality, for any underage pregnancy. If you’re not advocating for all of that, you’re just as much a hypocrite as Graham and the Europe point is irrelevant. [/quote]

You should check your head and see if there's a brain inside.

Yes, I'd be happy with the "European model", and indicated that it was a missed opportunity to not try that when Obamacare was introduced. I quess activists wouldn't have liked the 15-weeks, but Obama could/ should have sold that as part of the deal.[/quote]

Then why aren’t all you “moderate” republicans out there advocating for public funding and a legal end to restrictions before 15 weeks, with broad exemptions in all of the categories for which women actually seek abortion after 15 weeks? What a mystery that is. [/quote]

I have been advocating for this all along. It is the moderate Dems who are blocking this!!! Essentially the Dems are responsible for the current abortion bans in some states. Congress could have acted and still could act but the Dems are playing politics.[/quote]
