Abortion Question.

[AProudLefty]

Economics. Which groups tend to have more poverty and less access to health care, including contraceptives?

It's going to be ironic when the fundies in 20 years or so discover that suddenly the birth rate for POC has increased, and they are outnumbered and outvoted.

I should live so long to see it.

Bob Dole did.

The Party of the Jackass and the Party of Fascists are going apeshit over it. Why? I can surmise about the GOP but as to the DNC, no clue why.

So regardless of what the SCOTUS decision is, it changes nothing. It's just a political posturing by two parties. That's all.

Pretty odd for a woman to wait until after 25 weeks then decides to have an abortion and have the stretch marks to show for it.

Heavy women sometimes don't even realize. Other times they know they are pregnant but can't get time off work, or something else happens like job loss, homelessness, etc. Or health problems. You are right though -- almost all ABs happen in the first 10-12 weeks.

Row V Wade has been the law for nearly 50 years. Medical science has made tremendous advances in medicine in that time.

Abortion becomes a moral and legal issue when a fetus reaches a certain stage, per the laws enacted by politicians.

Instead of politicians deciding when a woman can or cannot have an abortion, how about letting the medical community decide at which point an abortion is manslaughter? Take the politics out of the formula. Let the decision be between a woman and her doctor based on AMA rulings.

because they profit from it

[ThatOwlWoman]

because they profit from it

Pfft. They also "profit" from any other health care that is provided. But even so, physicians and clinics don't "profit" from reproductive health care and abortions as much as the QOP has profited from their forced-birth schtick.

the only one who should have the right to decide is the child who's going to die......

[PostmodernProphet]

A quarter of women in America have had abortions. The rightys religious beliefs are not building a consensus How many voters can you drive away?. Over 60 percent of Americans want Roe v Wade to stay in place.

100% of children want to live......

Explain how a one week old fetus able to make a decision?

[Jack]

She does Einstein within the law. The question is who should decide the latest ethical date to abort, a doctor or a politician. Sorry Jack your mother fucked up the paperwork authorzing your abortion. Or we wouldn't have your bull shit.

It seems like it's a woman's personal decision.

Your 'within the Law' bullshit is meaningless.
What if Abortions are banned. And women that have abortions go to jail for 20 years for Murder.

[PostmodernProphet]

all women don't support abortion......half the million who are killed by abortions every year are females......

It seems like it's a woman's personal decision.

And it will be, unless she dithers and more than 15 weeks go by before she decides.

[AProudLefty]

"Dithers". Now that's an old computer graphics term I have not heard since the 80s.

If he was, it probably shattered under the strain.

[Doc Dutch]

OK. Stop telling unvaccinated Americans what do with their own lives and bodies.

Deal?

Deal.

Agreed on personal decision. The 24 week limit was fine until the Republicans kept fucking with it.
