you gotta say so or it's not true Like, the arrogance you must have to think your approval is either desired or required for someone to be able to make their own decisions in planning their family. Go ahead and seek the blessing of folks in your circle, and keep that shit there. Save your opinions for the people who care. I personally find a lot of reasons to be in favor of giving someone the right to have an abortion. But I feel this is the big one: nobody asked y'all. | ||

This is why we as a society tend to not make rules based on what peopld really think. Son of sam really thought those people were demons for example. Well if you really think abortion is murder (which in my head means that you are an idiot), it doesn't become less murder just because the dad is a rapist and/or your uncle. It's the only consistent logical view. If you think abortion is murder, but want to make exceptions on rapes/incests, you either don't really think it's murder or you are experiencing heavy cognitive dissonance. | ||

Then I see you state that 'some states will have sane laws', that '... draws the line about where most Americans would like to see it drawn. 15ish weeks.', that 'Democrats have gone from "safe, legal, and rare" to considering a law in line with a number of European nations as a great blow against human rights'. Essentially, it sounds like you're constructing your argument like you are arguing in favor of woman's right to choose until week 15 but against late term abortions, but I had the impression your own opinion was actually quite a bit more restrictive than that. Would love to know what, in your mind, constitutes grounds for legal abortion. | ||

Im pretty happy with our laws where there is no criminality attached but no health practioners will do it without a medical reason after 23 weeks 6 days, some are not willing before that point. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Canada#:~:text=Abortion in Canada is legal,and provincial health-care systems. I can barely understand your posts of run-on sentences and spelling errors. Are you posting with something that doesn't have a spell check function? My post is not a response to Drone. His post gave me the idea for my post. If we want to criticize pro-lifers for lacking consistency and wanting to control what a woman does with her body we should be prepared to state what restrictions, if any, we think should be placed on abortion. Then it's just a question of who is applying the proper amount of control over a woman's body. | ||

So, a minimum of roughly 3 months, i guess. 12 weeks is hella early. Pretty sure that would have been the earliest of any state until Texas came out with their 6 week ban. | ||

It would shock me if very many conservatives actually said they value the federalism part more; hardly anybody actually weights process concerns like that over getting real results on the issues. That sets up a legal standoff over jurisdictional issues. No idea how it turns out but we could get providers in blue states which make a point of guaranteeing, one way or another, that no medical information will be disclosed to other states’ law enforcement. | ||

That way we can create a barometer on how much each of us hates and wants to control women. I'll go first. Personally I think viability is a good end-point for allowing abortion. So around 20 weeks if we're being generous to the fetus or 22 weeks if we're being generous to the birthing person. I hate and want to control women, just not in this domain. Personally I would allow abortions up to the point of viability, or at least in that ballpark. With exceptions for foetuses that would not survive birth if that’s picked up in scans etc. Just if we’re laying cards on the table as per actual positions, which I think is a good idea. | ||

If someone goes to CA to get an abortion, is that a crime? “Yes” would appear to conflict with normal conservative doctrine of federalism, “no” would undermine most of the moral weight of the cause. Was all this worth it just to make people drive further to get the abortions? It would shock me if very many conservatives actually said they value the federalism part more; hardly anybody actually weights process concerns like that over getting real results on the issues.

This has nothing to do with 'state rights' or federalism. | ||
