I don't care if you approve of it, this isn't sport to me and frankly, I find people who treat it that way a bit ghoulish. But here's the SPONSOR of that bill that "25 men were responsible" for: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/05/14/alabamas-abortion-bill-is-not-about-alabama-its-about-tossing-roe-v-wade/?utm_term=.ccc3ab51adff There's a nice hardcore Liberal news piece to tear it to shreds but at least it gets the gist of the bill's import correct. It was always intended as a vehicle to challenge and hopefully to set aside a horrible diktat from 45 years ago and replace it with a modern consensus or 50 of them. This should either be legislated at the national level or it should be legislated at the state level. The people need a voice. ALL THE PEOPLE. Pull your hair, shriek, wail about filth, but try getting some of the facts and the background before making fools of yourselves, what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fetus is viable, of *course* it's infanticide to abort it. Couldn't agree more, and then. When Jefferson penned "All men are created equal", America had slavery. It's not the words that are wrong it's the people, and anyone who wants infanticide to be legal makes the same error that the people who wanted slavery made. Those infants are American citizens and are protected by the constitution. All praise the Constitution 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that these rules get stretched to their limits no matter how generous those limits are set initially. What passed in NY wasn't written in honest language to explain what will really happen upon the CONVENIENCE of the mother. It will happen regularly and we all know it. The fact that that bunch of ghouls applauded it made people around this nation so upset that several states began planning an answer. Alabama's just happens to be the most in their face version so far. Call it our legislature's version of a standing "O" for what we believe in. That article from WaPo actually explains the reality of the bill/law pretty well. This has been a simmering issue for decades and it's time for another, reasoned, legislated look at it. No one, even in Alabama, expects that law to stand as is. For those who're losing their minds over it, I wonder how they handled what NY did? I don't recall a lot of Sturm and Drang over THAT one but maybe I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the three trimesters of pregnancy: the Court ruled that during the first trimester, governments could not prohibit abortions at all; during the second trimester, governments could require reasonable health regulations; during the third trimester, abortions could be prohibited entirely so long as the laws contained exceptions for cases when abortion was necessary to save the life of the mother. but it is not that important, what is , if this ruling overturned, what would stop from overruling others, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that in a thread where the people DID NOT vote on this bill. This is a thread where MALE representatives voted on this bill. Where MALE representatives voted to leave RAPE and INCEST out of exemptions for the bill. People don't vote for every bill brought forth to the representatives. Representatives do. I'd have to imagine that the people of Alabama would not vote against RAPE and INCEST not being grounds for an abortion. Although, it is Alabama, so you never know. Really? It's between her and her conscience? What the hell kind of conscience do you have that you would allow a pre-teen girl who was raped by her father be forced to have a child, and ruin HER life? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK 75% of people support pro life, that is great. How many unwanted children have you personally fostered? How much money have you contributed to the long term care of disabled infants? Or once they are born has your duty been done? Do you turn your backs and say that is the parent's responsibility? If an infant dies of neglect or abuse or disease or starvation before they are six months old does it matter in the slightest to you that if concerned people had intervened that child might have lived? It is a wonderful and honorable thing to be pro-life . I hope you realize infants and children could also use some aid once they are born. Why is it I see signs and anti-abortion protests but never a demonstration by the same people supporting handicapped or malnourished infants? Is it mostly Democrats working in social services and Children's charities. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted May 17, 2019 #170 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Pennsylvania just passed a bill to stop abortion for fetuses diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. It already has a law that prevents abortion because of the sex of the fetus. I do not see PA declaring abortion illegal like the Alabama or Georgia bills. I believe our law says up to the 24th or 28th week. https://www.phillyvoice.com/pa-house-passes-bill-prohibit-abortion-down-syndrome/ I'm pro-choice but Michelle is right that many women do grieve the loss of their baby. It isn't an easy decision to make for many women. I don't think it should be used loosely just as birth control. I've seen actresses on TV talking about their experiences and they are holding back tears. Because of the sex of the fetus could be a scary thing there. Most people want boys. It's pretty much asking if abortion should be used to determine the sex of your children. And if I can, I'd like to give an honorable mention to Tatetopa. He's the only man in this whole thread I saw say the woman isn't the only one who should be taking some responsibility for this.

You and your friends must all be wealthy. I think your condemnation of women getting too many and using them as birth control is rather judgemental. It really doesn't matter and it's no one's business how many any other woman has. Remember honey, and I'm not saying this to be contradictory, but each time a woman has an abortion she is putting her reproductive organ through stress that can do damage and create scar tissue. That's why an obstetrician will ask you if you ever had one. It could inhibit her ability to conceive and give birth safely when she is ready. It needs to remain a safe procedure under medical supervision and in a safe environment as things can go wrong. It is an invasive procedure.

It is up to 24 wks but I was unaware of parental or spousal consent. There is a part of the law saying a woman must have counseling and wait for 24 hours before she has the procedure. https://statelaws.findlaw.com/pennsylvania-law/pennsylvania-abortion-laws.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
