[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread should have been aborted a long time ago. There is nothing new to discuss here. There are three camps:
1) Everything regarding an unborn child is a woman's choice and anyone trying to take away that choice is a misogynist. (Most)
2) An unborn mass of cells, fetus, etc. is a human and that life should be preserved at all costs. Anyone aborting or practicing abortion is evil. (Many)
3) Until the 24th week of gestation, abortion is acceptable and legal, but after that point should be illegal except in cases of legitimate health concerns for mother or child. (Some)

What else is there to discuss?[/quote]
The many, many states that are passing laws in opposition to fifty years of legal precedent? Florida, the third largest state, passed a 15-week ban and there’s been zero coverage of it in the “liberal media.”[/quote]

So those states are in camp 2, but can only move the needle so much from the current (former) laws that aligned with camp 3. Again, same three camps. Nothing new here to discuss. There’s plenty to complain about, but no new ideas or approaches or camps to discuss. Discussing and complaining (which include the same old hackneyed arguments from your camp) are different things. That was my point.

What you’re really depressed about is that the camp 1 folks (you) are so emotional and extreme and angry with your prior and current arguments that you’ve driven the camp 3 folks to take action and elect state leaders that pass those laws. They are winning in those many, many states and you don’t like it.  So the real question you should be discussing is why are so many states now acting this way? What’s changed? Why are camp 1’s arguments now falling on deaf ears? Males are a minority in this country. Southern males are a minority in this country. So why are they winning often? Is it that many women are also in camp 2? Is it that camp 3 folks don’t vote enough? Is it that camp 3 folks are ok with 15 weeks vs 24 and don’t see the slippery slope so are apathetic? Is it that maybe the people blogging on this forum don’t represent the country very well? Now THAT we can discuss. [/quote]
