To a point, her main focus by far was birth control. She went to jail fighting for that, not eugenics 

 

Yes, birth control...for black and poor people.

Actually for everyone.

Republicans’ extreme antiabortion stance cost them dearly in the midterms, especially among women, young people and college-educated voters. But rather than adjust course, they are doubling down. Like the American tourist who thinks if he yells loud enough, non-English speakers will finally understand him, they have decided to be more aggressive in trying to block abortion access.

House Republicans have already passed two antiabortion measures (which have no chance of passing the Senate). They have also filed other bills seeking to limit access to abortion. Likewise, Senate Republicans are pushing an array of antiabortion measures, including restrictions on interstate travel for the procedure and bans on federal funding for colleges that supply abortion medication.

Meanwhile, a forced-birth group in Texas is suing to reverse the Food and Drug Administration’s decades-old authorization of mifepristone, which is one of two drugs used for medical abortions (and is also critical for the treatment of miscarriages). Twenty-two red states have filed amicus briefs expressing support for the effort to deprive women of safe, effective medication. And in Congress, Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona filed a bill to do the same.

A recent Gallup survey shows that Americans are increasingly frustrated with U.S. abortion policy. “The record-high 69% of U.S. adults dissatisfied with abortion laws includes 46% who prefer that these laws be made less strict, marking a 16-percentage-point jump in this sentiment since January 2022,” the poll reports. “In addition, 15% of Americans are dissatisfied and favor stricter laws, and 8% are dissatisfied but want them to stay the same.”

Likewise, an NPR-Ipsos poll in January found that 3 out of 5 Americans want abortion legal in all or most cases. The overwhelming sentiment is that government should “butt out,” as one respondent told the pollsters. NPR reports:

Fifty-eight percent of respondents say they think lawmakers are making abortion policy based on what donors and their base want, not what the majority of the public wants.

They also voiced this disconnect when evaluating federal officials making calls about abortion rights.

An even larger number, 62% of respondents, say the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was based “more on politics than the law.” Sixty percent of respondents say that they thought the Roe decision was correctly decided in 1973.

Jessa Duggar had a miscarriage so the pro-abortion brigade is front and center using her situation to cackle about her loss while pushing for ABORTION.

 

To be clear, if you have to conflate a miscarriage with abortion to push your repugnant, cruel agenda then your agenda sucks........Big time.

 

It’s one thing to see pro-aborts deliberately confusing women about ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, and other emergency situations with MUH ABORTION, but seeing the joy they take in the misery of another woman who suffered a miscarriage? No words.

 

 

 

 

Even Planned Parenthood doesn’t conflate the two … when you’re eviler than Planned Parenthood?

 

Yikes.

A recent report from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) finds, “Just under two-thirds of Americans (64%) say that abortion should be legal in most or almost all cases,” including 68 percent of independents. Only one-third say it should be illegal in most or almost all cases. Even among Republicans, 36 percent favor legal abortion. And the percentage of the party that favors banning all or most abortions has declined from 21 to 14 percent in just over a year.

So you and the poll support elective abortions through any trimester for any reason?

 

Seems most polling shows people support electives till viability.  and why most polls now leave out that term.

But most GOP laws ban abortion way before that. 

 

Nazis also went after women's reproductive rights to keep up the population so they would have soldiers. The "domestic supply of infants" arguments

the nazis promoted sterilization based on RACE and/or IQ.  they were all about the eugenics.

 

 

The law that got abortion to the supreme court, was a 15 week elective limit.  that a DEM pac fought to the supreme court.

 

from the post you made above, that viability is somewhere around birth.

 

I mean here in NY we changed it from mothers' health/life for late term abortions, to the mother's mental health for late term abortions.  so viability really means nothing in NY.

 

what's that magic number for viability?

 

here are the EU data that shows it varies from county to country, even being banned in some.

Access to abortion, as well as the cultural milieu associated with that position, is certainly one of many factors people consider when determining where to live, work or start a business. It is also noteworthy that states with abortion bans tend have a cluster of other negative attributes. For example, such states generally have not expanded Medicaid; have higher murder and poverty rates and lower minimum wages; dominate the lists of worst schools in the country; and claim a disproportionate number of counties with the lowest life expectancy. As a report by Asha Banerjee of the Economic Policy Institute confirms, “the states enacting abortion bans are the same ones that are economically disempowering workers through other channels.”

Majorities support abortion under most circumstances 

 

Majorities of residents in 43 states and the District of Columbia say that abortion should be legal in most or all cases, and in 13 of those states and in DC, more than seven in ten residents support legal abortion. There are only seven states in which less than half of residents say abortion should be legal in most or all cases: South Dakota (42%), Utah (42%), Arkansas (43%), Oklahoma (45%), Idaho (49%), Mississippi (49%), and Tennessee (49%). Residents of nearly all states have become more likely to say abortion should be legal in most or all cases since PRRI’s last state-level data analysis, in 2018.

You know....You can post any number of these things and it still doesn't get to the undeniable reality.

 

Some pervert does something. Not a surprise. Happens all the time.

 

The undeniable reality I speak of is that some people think life begins at conception. 

Those people know what the term is for taking a life.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the actions of criminals.

 

It is an honest judgement, the same as was made in the 1800's when even though it had been the norm for centuries, people determined that people from another continent were entitled to be treated the same as other folks. 

 

The absolute lunacy of this is the claim that those people want to control reproductive rights, anymore than the people of the 1800's wanted to deny property rights.

Well the "opiate of the masses" was stronger than before. Isn't that life begins at conception argument mostly a religious argument?
