You think abortion can't be prosecuted just because the woman crosses state lines?

That question doesn't sound like it is really on topic. There is another thread for that. Or if you don't like that thread, start another one.

The short answer is not a simple yes or no.

 

it's very on topic, a simple yes or no will do

 

Fresh air, you know as well as I do that any type of abortion that is prosecuted across state lines will be prosecuted the same as any other type of abortion.

You think one type of abortion that is illegal in the state will be illegal if you try to get it in another state, but not another type of abortion (that is illegal to get in the state)?

 

I think the religious right is reaching a new level of crazy, and yes, I think they will try to do just that

 

If you want to kill your fetus, don't make it in a state that cares about that fetus's life.

Women who are raped know there may be something up, so they have time to deal with the pregnancy at the earliest stages before it is illegal.
With younger rape victims, by the time they find out about it the pregnancy is often too far along into baby territory.
Incest victims will oftentimes just continue to suffer abuse even if they are given an abortion, so abortion will not necessarily solve all their problems.

We've already discussed this all before.

 

And you are still wrong about it all........

 

people that force rape victims to have their rapists babies are a sick bunch and should have to register on the sex offender list

 

Well, FreshAir, in one sense I only want to force them to have their rapists babies if that baby already exists. (like if the victim waited too long before everyone else realized she was pregnant)
In one way, you could say, a rape victim is not being forced to have her rapists baby, because she had the opportunity for a short window of time after the rape to do something about it and make sure that if she had any pregnancy it would not continue.

 

10-year-old Jill should never be forced to have her rapist baby, that is just sick

anyone that would support the rapist in this situation should be just as guilty as the rapist

 

Even when there is a baby inside of her?

Two young children. So tragic.

No one is supporting the rapist in this situation.

 

some are supporting the rapist sadly

 

YES, when they insist a rape victim HAS to make a decision even if she's in a coma, recovering from surgery, mentally traumatized...they INSIST she be PUNISHED for being raped.....what evil fiends !!!

 

If you want to stop abortions in your state, and stop women from going to a state that allows abortions, there really is only one solution. All women of child bearing age will submit to a daily, mandatory pregnancy test. Those women who test positive will be locked up until they give birth. Coming soon to a loony RWCNJ state near you

 

FoxHastings, you do realize that statistically, 50% of rape victims choose life. Would you really want to make that decision for a woman who can't make it?

The chance that she is both recovering from a major surgery and has been raped is slim. Maybe she could apply for a special exception for that.
But like I mentioned before, if she gets sexually assaulted, she better make sure there is no pregnancy in there and make whatever choice she is going to want to make as soon as possible. Pro-life states will most likely leave open a small window for her to be able to do that, if they don't have rape exceptions written into the law.

But anyway, FoxHastings, I think you are going way off topic in this thread, so I will not delve into addressing your complaints in greater detail.
Like I keep telling you, if you want to discuss something specific, start a thread about it.
It's unfair for anyone to listen to you when they are not going to hear the full argument from the other side (because the people on the other side do not want to derail the thread topic).

 

Clearly every state does NOT have to honor the laws of every other state. If that were the case why even have state laws?
