Popular Post ExpandMyMind Posted May 15, 2019 Popular Post #1 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Quote Alabama’s Republican-controlled state senate passed a bill Tuesday to outlaw abortion, making it a crime to perform the procedure at any stage of pregnancy. The strictest-in-the-nation abortion ban allows an exception only when the woman’s health is at serious risk, and sets up a legal battle that supporters hope will lead to the supreme court overturning its landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. Guardian Well, this isn't good. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how it would play out, to be honest. Not well though, that's for sure. One could hope that it would ultimately lead to liberal and conservative states splitting That would be one way to end the left/right polarisation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Alabama be using this as a stalking horse to get Wade vs Roe overturned ? It's more likely a push back on the late term and post birth abortions that the left has been pushing recently. Many folks made their peace with first trimester abortions, special cases (rape, incest, health of mother/baby), now we've morphed from "not a life until first breath" to "not a life if he/she isn't up to our expectations". The pendulum has swung too far to the left, so the right is taking the lead of pushing back in the exact same format they've been pushed - to extremes. We will see all the familiar "going backwards" and "stupid religious people" tripe, but I doubt we'll see any legitimate discussion. The answer is to legislate this into a Constitutional amendment as we should have done in 1973. If they cannot do so in the secular progressive society that exists in the US today, then perhaps the US isn't as pro-abortion as that lobby wants us to believe. Should probably be a states issue, but I doubt Kavanaugh and Roberts will both rule that way. There's a reason many of us oppose legislating from the bench on social issues, it just leaves the door open for constant gridlock in the courts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's no more angst producing than watching a New York State Senate giving a standing Ovation to abortion on the day of delivery, no?

Then who is proposing these late-term abortions? Who is it that talks about giving birth and then keeping the child comfortable while the mother and doctor discuss that it should be killed or not? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
