Keep digging "bro".  You're making some solid arguments here today. (sarcasm)

 

Yea, bro - you're KILLING it.

 

Why would WE only REGULATE a uterus?

 

What's a woman?

 

A THING FOR YOU TO CONTROL.

No, it is not. You're dodging.

 

Why would we ONLY regulate a WOMENs body?

 

Tell us oh mighty one... tell us!

 

Because NOBODY is talking about a woman's body but you and your friends on the Left.  Can you guess which body we ARE talking about?  See if you can.  Think for a second.  You can do it.  I know you can!

Now what? You realize that same point can be used as an ANTI-abortion argument. For example, should a woman have complete control over whether a man's baby is destroyed? 

 

Don't hurt yourself with all this high-level moral philosophy stuff.  Your sweet spot is anti-Trump memes. 

 

Bye Bye

Oh, did it get too HOT in the KITCHEN for you precious?

 

Amazing you couldn't address why it only makes sense to manage a UTERUS and not SPERM.

 

Typical... can never deal with issues at the SOURCE.

 

Run away big guy...

You know who gets abortions? People you know….people you are close to….you just don’t know about it. How many shotgun weddings have you been to in the last 40 years? You know ….people you know….not many huh? What everyone perfected birth control and pulling out?

 

All these red states…filled with the pious…..you know what’s gonna happen when their daughter…girlfriend…whomever gets unexpectedly pregnant? They are not going show up at high school and carry to term….show up at the adoption agency with a halo…..Nope….they are gonna disappear for a weekend to go visit their cousin/aunt/friend….in a blue state…and they will hope nobody knows….and they will rationalize that they made a mistake and are special

All excellent points.  So go ahead and make that argument at the State House wherever you live.

Good Riddance to Roe v. Wade and Its Culture of Coercion
By Laura Hollis

 

As pretty much everyone knows by now unless they're living on a deserted island with no Wi-Fi, someone within the U.S. Supreme Court breached professional protocol and leaked a copy of a draft opinion. The draft, written by Justice Samuel Alito, purports to show a 5-4 majority of the Court ready to overrule the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade and declare that there is no federal constitutional right to an abortion.

 

Clearly, the leaker is looking to foment outrage and create public pressure on one or more of the five justices to change their votes. Right on cue -- and with pre-printed signs -- the rage mobs are gathering in front of the Supreme Court and elsewhere around the country. One such protest in California turned violent, and across the social mediaverse, there are calls for "revolution." Americans are bracing for riots like those we saw in the summer of 2020 after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis.

 

This is despicable and hypocritical (remember all the posturing about "saving our democracy" and "respect for our institutions"?), but typical. Also typical is the manipulation of data to control the media narrative. One such tidbit is the constant refrain that "70% of Americans do not want Roe overturned." That part is true. But conveniently left out is the rest of the poll, showing that 65% of Americans also think abortion should be illegal in most or all cases in the second trimester, and that fully 80% think abortion should be illegal in the third trimester.

 

The abortion industry as it exists under Roe is grossly out of touch with Americans' views.

 

There are many reasons why Roe needs to go, not least saving the lives of unborn children. But overturning Roe should also remediate the coercion that has crept into our lives since abortion was declared to be a constitutional right.

 

By definition, "rights" create corresponding obligations, some mandatory and some prohibitory. If I have a "right" to walk down the street, then you have an obligation to let me do so. If I have a "right" to clean water, then you have an obligation not to pollute it.

 

Few rights are absolute, however. The American legal system tends to balance rights, especially when they potentially conflict.

 

The abortion lobby refuses to accept these limits.

So SCOTUS ….we’ll the GOP stuffed SCOTUS…says that the Feds have no say…either way….why not 

“return the decision” to the state house… let the locals decide. Why not do one better and just let the woman herself decide? I mean that’s Alito’s reasoning …..correct?

1 Use birth control . If that fails ..

 

2 Take a plan B 

 

problem solved in 99% of cases.  
 
Letting States ( the people) decide is not a huge deal folks. 

Plan B is going to be illegal in those red states Einstein …You literally just made the liberals point.

So,

 

the liberal's point is, it has to be available in all 50 states or it's not fair.

I'm not sure it's been impressed how serious the leaking of a SCOTUS draft opinion is. It's one of the worst possible things that can happen in our government, and that statement would only be slightly mitigated if it turned out to be the work of a hacker rather than a source inside the Court itself.

Choice of the individual? Why do you think the states are more important than the person?

And that is why I don't understand all the fuss.  If SCOTUS either overrules or modifies Roe v. Wade then Congress and State legislatures have the power and ability to pass legislation that can be signed by the President or Governors.  And if anybody's got a gripe against a specific State then there's your lesson in democracy in action that lots of posters are pontificating about.  

 

Plus all the moral and ethical posturing with various scenarios is just avoiding stating what I think is obvious.  And that is..

 

If somebody is advocating for abortion without any limitations or conditions then what they're really saying is they totally support the women's unconditional right to decide and they place no value on the life or potential life of the child.  That's really it.

 

And conversely, if they advocating "right to life" and no abortion without exception or condition they value the life of the child and prioritize this life above all personal, medical, or otherwise concerns or desires of the woman.  That's really it. 

 

I expect, somewhere in the middle is the answer and the position of most women, and dare I suggest men too.

No you. The right to own firearms is enshrined explicitly in our Constitution. If you want the same for abortion get the ball rolling on an amendment.


The two issues have literally no legal commonality.

The religious right and the cult want you to believe this but VERY few people are advocating for late term abortions unless there are severe fetal abnormalities or the health of the mother is at risk.

 

Keep fringing!

I couldn’t find AR-15 in the Constitution… could you?

 

I couldn’t even find the word Stop Sign in the Constitution but I’m sure you abide by them - aniright?

Quote

 

Republicans in the Louisiana House advanced a bill Wednesday that would classify abortion as homicide and allow prosecutors to criminally charge patients, with supporters citing a draft opinion leaked this week showing the Supreme Court ready to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The legislation, which passed through a committee on a 7-to-2 vote, goes one step further than other antiabortion bans that have gained momentum in recent years, which focus on punishing abortion providers and others who help facilitate the procedure. Experts say the bill could also restrict in vitro fertilization and emergency contraception because it would grant constitutional rights to a person “from the moment of fertilization.”

 

Will the fetus testify at trial?

Yes, I could.

 

And yes, I do. Because my state has passed a law mandating that I stop at them, as is their right under the 10th Amendment since, as you say, stop signs aren't in the Constitution.

Can you point out explicitly where it says AR-15?

Pro-Life Women Are Here - in Numbers Too Big to Ignore

 

56375ecd-17dc-4396-92d5-627b49afe1ec-450

 

Her remarks stood out to me and got me to thinking about the way this debate is almost always framed. It’s women versus men/the patriarchy. Or women, the oppressed minority, standing up and fighting/roaring back. I’ve lost track of the number of “Hear me roar!”-type posts I saw from women in the pro-choice/pro-abortion camp after this decision.

 

The premise outright ignores the millions of women who are pro-life, who welcome the overturning of Roe and Casey, and who support legislation restricting — if not outright banning — abortion in their states. I did a quick look-see on the stats.

 

 

 

 

That’s a lot of women. But somehow, their voices, their support for life, are utterly discounted in this conversation. It’s as if they — we — don’t exist. But we do. In every state. In some states, we’re in the minority, and that means even if our voices are heard/acknowledged, they’re not enough to get laws restricting abortion enacted. Just as in some states, we’re in the majority, and those women who oppose such legislation won’t get their way. That’s representative democracy in action — and in either case, women have a voice — a vibrant, healthy voice — in it.

It seems extreme, the death part, if that’s really your take.  
 

On the other hand, some kids were vandalizing the local Friendly’s not long ago and shooting them would probably be an effective deterrent.

So, where in the Constitution is the word AR-15?

 

Your argument is that abortion is not in the Constitution yet neither is AR-15.

 

Keep spinning... this is fun.

Well, Conald wanted to shoot AMERICAN protestors outside the White House... so, I wouldn't put it past the Cult.
