Imagine not listening to the experts and thinking that is smart. As I said back in 2020: most of us will listen to the experts and that will be enough to help reduce the spread. Hopefully it will go so well that the conspiracy theories will say they told us so. But we don't care we will carry you kicking and screaming out of the pandemic.
Amynhop is not a doctor hahahahhaha. She probably works the front desk at a dental clinic that’s cash pay only
He already did. He delivered on that promise. His group he's appointing to cabinet will make sure to push for a national abortion ban. Its all in the plan bubba.
Abortions were at an all time high last year. If there was a national ban, it would actually make it easier in many states. They would adopt the European model of 15 weeks and emergencies. That was the proposal. I'd say everyone would agree to 15 weeks considering only 3% of all abortions in the USA happen after 16 weeks.
Please send an article confirming the stat--I believe that abortions increased in the past year in states without bans, as people traveled across state lines.
Is viability really a good, moral threshold though? Have you ever read the daily development of a child in her mother's womb? It is hard to read something like that and think that it is okay to kill that developing life. I sincerely feel we are fighting for this so-called "right" at the expense of our humanity.
First time to hit a million aborted babies/fetuses in over a decade (not highest year on record) was 2023.
I guess the disconnect here is that, ever since I've been alive, women had a fundamental right to make the decision that you find immoral. Trump took that away at the will of the evangelical populist movement. It didn't impact me. I'm a male--and if I had impregnated someone after a one night stand who wanted to terminate a pregnancy, and she asked me, I'd have had a difficult time with signing off on that. 100%. But it's not the government's role, in my opinion, to mandate morality on a "grey" issue (ensoulment/personhood) with anything other than science/facts.
Appreciate the article. I do disagree on your view that those of us that are pro-choice would advocate for a woman to terminate at "any damn time she pleases". It's more about the fact that we had a framework in place for many years--and I fully admit that many Americans disagreed with it--that in my mind, was OK. Stats on late term abortions are really low, and I highly doubt those are done out of convenience. But now we're drawing another arbitrary line in the sand, to address the fact that women's fundamental rights were taken away and certain geniuses in state houses/senate passed draconian laws that rightfully pissed women off.
I don't disagree, but I'm glad Roe was overturned.
I hear you. Appreciate the level-headed back-and-forth here.
hows that help the women dying in Texas and Alabama? Just a states rights issue right? Murder should be a states rights issue next I propose.
That’s why I’m ok with the abortion ban bill that draws an arbitrary line that, I would assume, nearly everyone would agree upon at 15 weeks plus emergencies endangering the mother.
