What a ridiculous argument. If it's a life, please tell me about your experience in the three months after you were born. Just because you don't remember it, means you weren't legitimately alive at the time?

AND IF YOUR 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DIES FROM A BACK ALLEY ABORTION JUST POP OUT ANOTHER KID.. And a GIANT step for Republicans TOWARDS the TALIBAN...we NEVER had Republicans in here discussing how this Taliban ruling is bad.
Or to be more accurate, states will come up with laws with undue weight of influence from the conservative older generation that dictates how younger people live.
If abortion rights are illegal in your state for rape victims, go to the state capitol, and protest or call your congress person. Sounds fair, right?
I fail to see the issue... I have not read through all of the thread, but can anyone explain why abortion is such a big issue in the US? Back in my 20's me and my partner had an abortion... accidents happen and neither of us wanted a child. We used birth control - the pill for her, condoms for me - sometimes nature just gets the best of you. just after this I got a vasectomy to make sure it never happened again... We had little money at the time - she worked full time and I was away maybe 5 months of the year working - should we have had an unwanted baby?
Over and done with. At this point, people (pissed off about the decision) might as well be screaming at the sky... *insert screaming woman gif*
When you were CREATED what is so difficult to understand? And I have answered for years just as I am doing now.
First it wasn't. Then it was. Now it ain't again. I'm wondering what they're gonna do when out of wedlock births, crime, and the cost to taxpayers for welfare triples across the board.
I don’t know. My mom was born with my egg, and my dads sperm was probably created a couple days before…. It matters is life begins at fertilization or implantation. The fact you don’t seem to understand this, tells me you have no idea what this ruling actually means
I don’t think states should have a say in what a woman does with her body. No political entity should be able to decide that, federal, state, or otherwise.
Got nothing to do with intelligence, and you know it. But that was a very clever attempt at an underhanded insult towards women. You think I question their intelligence, when in fact it is you, because you don't feel they are intelligent enough to have the right to determine what is and is not inside their uterus. As far as allure, there isn't one. That was a very male thing to say. There's no allure to abortion. Women aren't jubilantly going to abortion clinics.
It wasnt a baby by that point - and as we had taken all precautions available it was a mistake - dont get me wrong it was a terrible choice to make but made it we did. hence the vasectomy so the mistake should never happen again. maybe I'm a selfish man, but to give up my life for something I dont want? ..... No thanks
How many women who have had multiple abortions in states that will now ban or severely restrict this action, will change their actions?
The flip side of that coin is that we're leaving people's rights to the arbitrary and capricious whims of the electorate, which is more consistent with the mob rule in Ancient Athens where individual rights didn't exist than what's left of the constitutional republic in our country where the government was supposedly instituted to secure our individual rights. What's particularly curious to me about this is that the jurists who are the architects of this situation call themselves "conservatives" - people who I thought were all for individual rights, the Constitution and the rule of law and opposed to the arbitrary fiat of mob rule that has run roughshod over people's individual rights since the time Socrates was handed a cup of hemlock for questioning the conventional wisdom of the polis. Perhaps, we're just kidding ourselves when we tell ourselves we live in a constitutional republic governed by the rule of law. When the language in our laws means nothing, as Antonin Scalia correctly pointed out before his death, and the law is open to interpretation, the so-called "rule of law" is a chimera - an elaborate and extravagantly expensive charade conducted for own what? Our entertainment? The privilege of paying for the spectacle? It's days like these....
