A classic example of the Associated Press using an opinion piece as a 'news' story.

 

All innuendo, all liberal quotes.

 

 

Yep, just like most all reporting has gone nowadays. Even football... "we need clicks". Glad PBS news is still around... Fox News is solid as well. BBC is okay.

Love how all the GOP candidates are calling for Federal Abortion bans. Ya, a state's rights issue. Ok 

 

 

 
I have no idea why they can’t present a cohesive national position on this topic. 
 

Is it states rights or not?

 

If it’s states rights, then the Presidential candidates have an easy out on this topic and can just refer it back to the states. 
 

Yet they can’t help themselves and continue to give ammo to the left to define them on this issue.  
 

If they want a federal law on this, say so .. and say what you want.   15 weeks would probably be pretty safe, given that’s where the vast majority of women are on this issue and they can also point to Europe, while pointing out that states like Cali, NY, VA etc., are wildly outside the western world mainstream on this issue.  
 

Heartbeat bans are going to be a very tough sell outside red states and the south.

Focus on the Family Pro-Life Ad Is Hysterical—yet Profound

 

 

 

 

The spot continues in that vein, showing various happy expectant couples and their families overjoyed by their pregnancies—but in each instance, they refer to the future baby as a fetus.

 

As several more scenes play out, a female narrator intones:

 

Focus on the Family would like to remind you that no matter where you are on your pregnancy journey, call it what you want, but the truth does not change.

 

It’s still a baby.

In North Carolina on Saturday, Vice President Harris delivered a stirring speech, stressing that “extremist Republicans in Congress have proposed to ban abortion nationwide. Nationwide. But I have news for them: We’re not having that.” She added: “The majority of Americans, I do believe, agree that one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do with her body.”

 

Moreover, Democrats leave little doubt they will put abortion front and center in 2024. On Friday, Pelosi vowed, “It played a big role in the last election. It will be even bigger in the next election.” Democrats clearly recognize that abortion access unites Democrats, independents and many Republicans. Harris, pointing out that 23 million women live in states with “extreme” abortion bans, declared on Saturday, “All of us are now called upon to advance the promise of freedom.”

Sounds like Biden just came out against elective third trimester abortion. 
 

That shouldn’t be noteworthy in a civilized society, but here we are .. and it’s, at least, notable. 

 

Link?

I'm not sure he's supporting making it illegal in the 3rd trimester though. 


We’ll see .. I’m sure he won’t push to make it illegal due to PP’s death grip on his party, but this is pretty clear..

 

"The next three months is between, I mean, just a woman and her family," Biden continued. "Next three months is between a woman and her doctor. The last three months have to be negotiated, because you can’t — unless you are in a position where your physical health is at stake you can’t do it."

It's easy for him to support making it illegal. We'll see.

 

I think it would go a long way towards bringing the country to an acceptable compromise. I don't think he's willing to go there.

Shameful.

 

 

Maine legalizing abortion up to the moment of birth

 

 

This legislation seems rather vague, perhaps purposefully so. As to what is being changed, the state’s current law allows abortions until the baby is “viable outside the womb” at roughly 24 weeks or six months. In other words, it allows the procedure in the first two trimesters, but not the third. There is an exception in the current law for conditions that put the mother’s life at risk.

 

Under the new law, there would still be a cap at 24 weeks, but would allow exceptions after that “if deemed medically necessary by a doctor.” But what does that even mean? Are there reasons other than endangering the life of the mother that would apply? I suppose if something went terribly wrong and the fetus was no longer viable, that might apply. One of the bill’s sponsors, state Senator Jill Dusan seemed to suggest that. She said the bill was intended to help women “who face the unimaginable.”

 

But if that was the true intent of the bill (and the only intent) why not expand the current language to simply exempt conditions that place “the mother’s life or the baby’s life at risk?” That seems as if it would offer a lot more clarity.

More Maine depravity.

 

 

Maine Democrats Kill Amendment to Ban Trafficking of Aborted Baby Remains

 

Maine state Senate Democrats blocked a proposed amendment on Tuesday to a late-term abortion bill that would have placed a four-year moratorium on the trafficking of fetal remains leftover from late-term abortions, the Maine Wire reported.

You should really check before you post hysterics like this.

 

Of course, even his opening line is a lie.  (This was always going to happen when these idiots outlawed abortion care in every form)

 

Hedrick Medical Center will still offer all OB/GYN services at their 25 bed facility, other than delivery.

 

Meanwhile patients can go their affiliated hospital, St Luke's North a 160 bed facility, or any of the other three hospitals in K.C.

 

 

"crusade against modern medical care is going to kill women and children."   equals  "we will say anything to keep abortion going"
