[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am an outlier, but not planning on my kid getting pregnant at college. But I'm in full support of banning abortion after 15 weeks- I have trouble how parents feel otherwise. You KNOW what this fetus becomes. At 15 weeks we know enough that the fetus is capable of feeling, so really don't understand how people can be pro-abortion at this point. Totally understand f-ups happen and the women shouldn't bear the brunt of it for life if they aren't ready but 15 weeks is plenty of time to stop things before it turns into a human that feels pain.

Oh yes, you aren’t planning on it, unlike all those other parents who WERE planning on their daughters getting pregnant in college. I guess my best friend from high school was planning on getting attacked and raped at 4pm by a random stranger with a knife in an alley next to her dorm, but YOUR daughter is making no such plans so she should be fine. [/quote]

Again, I don't quite get this. If she were raped, she would take the morning after pill. If her birth control pills failed she would get an early abortion. If early abortion is banned outright, I will take her elsewhere. There are a lot of options between regulating abortion and having 3rd trimester abortions legal. I mean seriously, how can any parent of a child support it?  I honestly and sincerely dont see it.   There will always be plenty of options for early abortions in the US but honestly its just easiest to put the girls on the pill or IUD, they are headed there anyway realistically. Who among us is still practicing natural family planning these days?[/quote]

So you don't think that traveling out of state for an abortion won't be criminalized (it already has).

[b]You don't think BC methods that prevent implantation could be banned (already there)?

So you don't think abortifacients could be banned?

Who is talking about making 3rd trimester abortions legal, unless under extreme circumstances threatening the life of the mother?

Just curious, but where has Plan B been banned (you wrote "already there")?  Nowhere to my knowledge, but maybe I am missing something.  And I don't consider proposed laws the same as approved laws.  Most proposed laws never get passed.  And lots of anti-abortion supporters have no problem with the pill, by the way. [/quote]

I'm not the PP you're responding to, but 13 states have "trigger laws" that will bad abortion once Roe is officially overturned.  They are already laws on the books, but by their own language do not go into effect until a state official certifies Roe is overturned.  Additionally, several states have laws on the books that pre-date Roe; these are unenforceable while Roe stands but would become enforceable after it falls.  [b]These laws are written broadly enough to cover things that prevent (or that Republicans believe prevent) implantation, including the Pill, Plan B, and IUDs.[/b][/quote]

Maybe and maybe not.  There are people asserting this in media, but other legal scholars think this is a hasty and likely unjustified conclusion so it's far from a fact.  But I can't rule out the possibility, of course.  Just pointing out there is no impending ban that clearly covers this at this time.  And I've read a number of Republicans stating that although they support banning abortion, they have zero intention of going after birth control (maybe because their own daughters use it). [/quote]
