All things abortion

Yes assisted suicide is part of this discussion. It has to be.
We cannot allow a small far right religious minority dictate what people do with their lives. They can do what they want with their bodies and leave others to decide for themselves. Whether the subject is assisted suicide abortion or use of stem cells.

Republicans need to look in the mirror.


"You have to have that kid !"
"Can you provide some assistance when the kid arrives ?"
" What do you think we are.....liberals ? That kid needs to get a job".

If Abortion was a religious matter, I’m sure that all of the pro death crowd would be thinking of the Blood, Sweat and Tears lyric,

“My troubles they are many, they are as deep as a well, But why I swear there ain’t no Heaven, I pray there ain’t no Hell”. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Is that what y'all call it at your church?

That said, if the government can force women to have unwanted/unhealthy children even in cases of rape/incest, then the government should also expand the death penalty to include rapists and those who commit acts we aren't allowed to name on this site.

That would dovetail with the Bible, right?

Republicans should be forced to live 3 months a year with a poor, desperate mother, who already
has 5 kids.


That wouldn't be so bad. They want to force women.

The hypocrisy of the right on this is and has always been stunning. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

I just googled and depending on whose numbers, there were between 620,000 and 930,000 abortions performed in 2020, the last year of data, so assume 800,000 as a round number. If 800,000 mothers were forced to carry those fetuses (they are not yet babies) to term, what percentage of those mothers and/or "unwanted" children would receive some form of public assistance....ADC, foodstuffs, Medicaid, etc. Curious about thoughts on this and estimates of annual assistance amount per child.

I didn't know that was how you got preggers by whispering, but I guess it must be from the sweet nothings in ones ear, while piercing the flesh with a meaty spear. The things a storybook can tell ya, but your eyes and knowledge will defy. I can buy some of the stories- but why go and make it completely absurd that only one baby came forth from a lack of fornication. Ha ok. If you say so. It flys in the face of IVF or the introduction of everything else known to grow a human in the body or in a test tube, so yeah...lets believe that, and use it as a barometer for judging mankind, vs. using mankind to judge mankind.


Once they are out of the womb, fuck that baby and that Momma. Get a job bitch...and you too baby. Don't be getting on no fucking welfare or SNAP benefits either, just cause you have to stay home and watch a baby instead of going to school or getting a job.

Remember the great retards from the state of Texas; we will fix Abortion- Greg Abbott- "we is gonna eliminate rapists in order to justify our abortion law". or Paxton's abilty to sue those who "aid and abet" someone seeking an abortion. When the fuck did we get all the way back to the handmaiden's tale on this? What's next - stoning and submerging witches or women who fucking talk with a backbone? I'm sure the Texans are all on board with this numskullery. I'm pretty sure that Tree that took Abbott's ability to walk also knocked several of the small wires in his brain loose, and it's clearly the same for the lazy eyed paxton who's been prosecuted for security fraud and was only cleared by the help of the GOP.



Isn't that interesting- the GOP enables cheaters, sexual predators, rapists, but hates women who are all up-ity about their bodies. What's next- The GOP going to soon be about limiting womens right to any birth-control, and instead of doctors being able to talk about female health issues, it's going to be a religious group talkin women out of limiting pregnancy or BC use.

But back to the original topic, conservatives only want white babies they can leave in poor, uneducated homes that will breed more dippy fucks like them. I've never seen a group more fascinated with sex, yet absolutely terrified of sex.

Levi, I'm not looking at it as a depopulation tool. I am looking at it in terms of economics and have a suggestion or two, but would like to arrive at some estimate of what those here think the annual cost in terms of governmental subsidy per "unwanted" child would be.

So is malnutrition, lack of childhood vaccination, lack of pediatric healthcare, etc. I would rather see the government put forth the effort to make things better for the children we already have than adding to the problem by forcing women to have children that they can’t afford to care for or want.

The truth is that children in the world are dying everyday and many of those people who would outlaw abortion really don’t care about that fact.

It may not be moral according to your values but I would rather the government not get involved in the decision of my wife and sisters and daughters to have a child or not.

The religious right are biggly and hugely hypocrits when applying consequences to not having the abortion option.

Did you ever consider that the constitution doesn’t protect a woman’s bodily autonomy because it was written exclusively by men. I have a feeling that if women were involved in the process their rights would be better protected.

This is why the equal rights amendment needs to be passed. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Not everyone can afford to travel for the procedure, not everyone can afford to be away from their job or their family for the time it takes to travel and get the procedure. Many state laws were written simply to make it as hard to get the procedure as possible.

It wouldn’t surprise me to hear that some jurisdictions have started to lock up women to keep them from getting an abortion. It’s a slippery slope.

What I don't get is the Republicans saying they know when life begins. And because they know, they must
enforce it on others......who don't share their beliefs. Why must they do that ? Why can't others be left to their beliefs ?



For the issue of the Constitution not stating there is a right to an abortion, that sounds like a distraction. If every right had to be listed in the Constitution, it would stretch to the moon. Originally Posted by VitaMan

"While the Talmud gives the full status of humanness to a child at birth, the rabbinical writings have partially extended the acquisition of humanness to the 13th postnatal day of life for full-term infants. The Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: “the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day.” Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born. ..."

Corrected nothing. Made it a cluster fuck mess, yes. RvW was nice and neat when it was the law of the land. The right made it an issue to were they can cast draconian laws to keep the right of womens' bodies out of their hands.
