which is why it's a terrible limit on abortion. way too early as i said for most women to even know they are pregnant and not nearly enough to determine the status of the fetus or any risk to the woman. Texas and any other state trying to use this "standard" are idiots.
part of this debate is when does life begin? obviously it begins at conception. but is that viable life? No. a fetus has virtually no chance whatsoever to survive until 6 months of gestation. even today with the most advanced neonatal care at 3 months premature the odds of survival is 50/50 at best. this is medical fact. that's largely why Roe v Wade was capped at the end of the second trimester.

to recap.
life begins at moment of conception (week 1): yes but its not viable.
life begins at heartbeat (4 - 6 weeks): yes but its not viable
life begins at birth (260 days): yes; its viable. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

I find the most telling part of this debate has ever been the fact that a bunch of grumpy old men are doing all the raging in here. Not a single woman/provider/single mom/AFFECTED PARTY.

No, I'm not against corporations helping. Either I have to pay more close attention to what I'm writing or you do in your reading. How you could come up with I'd be against corporations or anybody from helping a pregnant women get an abortion baffles me especially considering that you know for a fact I would not ban abortions if given the chance to vote on it but all this is academic to the point of the Constitutional finding that this issue as many others, should be left up to the vote of the people by State. Anybody that would argue against that doesn't understand the Constitution or Federalism. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

If you noticed in one of my previous posts, I suggested that if Roe is overturned and it goes to the States for a vote, a woman in any State that bans abortions will be given money either by the Corporation they work for or a go-fund me kinda deal by all the rich elitists who will contribute to such a fund.
Well knock me down with a feather. Just saw a report about how companies like Levi Strauss, Amazon and even Tesla, now owned by a racist, fascist, Apartheid loving White man, will be offering in some cases, up to $4400, ( don't know how they came up with that number ) to cover travel and medical expenses and will of course get full pay for how ever long it takes to recuperate. I have the feeling recuperation time will end up being much, much longer than it was before this generous package.
So settle down people, it's all good. If you can't move to an abortion loving state, either your job or rich White people with their White guilt and White privilege, will pickup the tab. What a great country we live in. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

Backward States like Texas will attempt to punish women who leave Texas to get an abortion where it is legal, and allow some Bloke in, say, Rhode Island to sue the baggage handler at DFW Airport, for assisting the Texas Woman in getting an abortion.

Each Individual has his own belief about when life begins and should get legal protection. We don't need the State deciding. Originally Posted by Chung TranBecause some LIbtard lefties are cool with killing the baby at BIRTH... that's why.
Funny how most of the Qanon right on this Board is FOR abortion in some circumstances. But not a God Damn one of them has posted against Abbott and Texas tactics to make abortion unavailable, utilizing methods that make Atilla the Hun look like a Progressive.

Gee federalism at work... Why do you object to 50 different options? That means 50 different places to choose to move to if you so wish.Yeah.. Wait to see how your State and others respond, then simply pick up and move at your leisure. Great idea.. NOT

Because grumpy old men said so. If the grumpy old men could get pregnant, this would not even be an issue. Originally Posted by VitaMan

to recap.
life begins at moment of conception (week 1): yes but its not viable. giving human rights to a bunch of cells is stupid.
life begins at heartbeat (4 - 6 weeks): yes but its not viable; human rights status yes.
life begins at birth (260 days): yes; its viable; human rights yes. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm
