You don't think abortion is wrong?
No, and more importantly I know it's not my choice to impose on another person.
When I was seven, in 1972 my aunt gave birth to my cousin. I was stuck waiting in the waiting room with the family for what seemed like eons, but then my uncle came and gave us all blue bubblegum cigars (He was very religious), and I had a new baby cousin. I was seven.
I used to watch the evening news, or anything on tv when I was a kid. I would lay on my stomach on the shag carpet, under the coffee table. It was actually my stepdad watching but I was there.
I remember the Row v. Wade thing very well. The way I understood it at the time, was that women just wanted to have control over their own bodies. And I thought well of course they should. I had no idea what an abortion was at the time, but I was happy that Roe v. Wade passed.
When I first heard what an abortion actually was, I did not believe it. My baby nephew was now a toddler, how could somebody have killed him before he was even born?
From then until now, I have always thought abortion was wrong.
A view you are 100% entitled to hold, as is anyone, that however is irrelevant, as what you are not (and no-one is) is entitled to force that view on anyone else.
But, like I said before, why wasn't she given the morning after pill. All rape and incest victims should be given that medication. It is an over the counter medication that prevents pregnancy. It should be used more.
The people you support are also trying to outlaw it as well, you do understand that state laws that are worded to say that life begins at fertilisation would make plan B, etc. illegal?
I would think you would infer by my questioning the bill, that I did not care what the Senate did, because a law was not needed. I said:
That you think that the bill is not required is utterly irrelevant, as that's not the question I asked, nor does holding that view preclude you from answering the question.
You are simply avoiding it, which is odd given how vocal you have been that modern conservatives now accept all aspects of gay-life and wouldn't vote to undermine such things as same-sex marriage.
So lets try again, this time without avoidance, are you confident that's going to be repeated in the Senate?
It turns out now, the Democrats in the house have passed a similar bill to protect contraceptive rights.
Watch out, the Republicans are coming for your rubbers! Jeez, Gimme a break.
Oh I don't know, maybe because they said they were and already are!
On top of Thomas specifically saying it should be targeted by the SCOTUS (quite how you are still ignoring that doozy is beyond me, but you do you), we have..
"Tom Leonard, former state House speaker, state Rep. Ryan Berman and Matthew DePerno, an attorney who has garnered attention after peddling election conspiracies, were asked during a debate Friday in Alpena about the 1965 case Griswold v. Connecticut. All three attacked the ruling, arguing the Supreme Court should not infringe on a state's authority to pass its own laws. "
"Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has suggested contraceptives should only be available to married couples."
"Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for Senator in Arizona, announced that he would only vote for Supreme Court justices who would overturn cases that protect the right to contraceptives. Masters wants access to contraceptives to be a state-level decision."
"Republican lawmakers in Louisiana are seeking to pass a law that would define life as starting “at fertilization.” Doing so would criminalize forms of birth control including Plan B,"
"Republican Governor Tate Reeves refused to rule out the possibility of banning contraceptives."
"in the fine print of their measure, those Republicans revealed that their ambition wasn’t only to target a familiar abortion foe. They were going after specific forms of birth control as well, notably, emergency contraceptives, often sold under the brand name Plan B, and intrauterine devices, known as IUDs. GOP lawmakers tried to stop Missouri’s Medicaid agency from paying for those forms of contraception."
"Idaho state Rep. Brent Crane, Republican chair of the powerful House State Affairs Committee, said he would hold hearings on legislation banning emergency contraceptives and possibly IUDs as well."
"Wieland and Republican colleagues in the Missouri House this year stopped two measures that women’s reproductive advocates say would have increased access to birth control."
The comments come amid a broader national discussion about cases challenging abortion rights and the right to privacy before the Supreme Court.
