[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our system of laws puts the rights of certain people before others all the time. I don’t give a flying fart if you think that clump of cells is a human being. Even if I concede it is, which I don’t, my life is more important and damn you to hell for saying it’s not and sending women to their graves because of it.  I mean it sincerely. You will be judged for your political games.[/quote]

What a dumb ass comment. It's not a mainstream position to argue against abortions in case of life or serious health threats to the mother. [/quote]

Are you a dumbass? What do you think overturning Roe will mean?[/quote]

LOL, thanks for showing just how ignorant you are. Overturning Roe simply turns over the issue to the states until a constitutional amendment can be passed that enshrines abortion as a right. If a state passes a complete abortion ban even if the life/health of the mother is in jeopardy, the solution is simple: move. [/quote]

Oh cupcake.

“Move” requires resources. You know that. We know you know that. We know you know you’re only taking rights away from poor women. No one is missing that cleverly concealed point. [/quote]

Poor women seem to have no problems moving between whole countries, so I don't see that it's an insurmountable burden to move to a different state if someone is concerned about their life/health.

For me to take a right away, means the right has to exist in the first place. And that's the whole argument: there is no fundamental right to abortion for convenience. I believe there is a right to abortion to protect one's own life/health but the supreme court has sidestepped that question thus far by trying to navigate around twisted logic to fit Roe in the name of precedence. [/quote]

Today and until the court rules, there is a right to abortion. You disagree with its existence but it does exist.

On the day that right is revoked, it is revoked only for poor women. A woman with adequate means to travel to an enlightened state will continue to do so.  So the end of the “right” to abortion is only an end to the right of abortion for poor women.  If the theocracy continues unabated that will still be true— women with resources will travel to Canada or Europe as they did historically.  The right will continue to exist for women with resources until you people have us taking pregnancy tests to leave the country.  [/quote]
