Iowa Passes Six Weeks Abortion Ban

[Zincwarrior]

Iowa Republicans pass a new 6-week abortion ban. Exemptions for rape, life of the mother, and fetal abnormalities. However the rape must have been reported to police within 45 days. I wonder how this will impact the womens' vote in Iowa and elsewhere.​

Iowa Republicans passed a bill late Tuesday to ban most abortions after six weeks — a restrictive measure that would quickly remake the reproductive rights legal landscape in a key early voting state.
The measure passed, mostly along party lines, just after 11 p.m. local time, capping a marathon one-day special legislative session that Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds called for the sole purpose of enacting “pro-life” legislation.

Reynolds, in a statement issued moments after the bill was passed, said she would sign the bill on Friday.
"Justice for the unborn should not be delayed," Reynolds said.
If it is not blocked by a court, the law would go into effect immediately after Reynolds signs it — which could send abortion clinics in the state, as well as women with appointments scheduled at them in coming days and weeks, scrambling. As it currently stands, abortion remains legal in Iowa until the 20th week of pregnancy.
The bill passed by Republicans, who control the Legislature, would ban abortions at the sixth week of pregnancy — or when, in some cases, a fetal pulse can first be heard via ultrasound. The measure includes exceptions for the life of the woman, miscarriages and fetal abnormalities deemed by a physician "incompatible with life."

with all the methods of contraception, education, and options....abortion should be rare.........not a fuck fest of irresponsibility.

Exactly! If birth control is used correctly and consistently (and really….it’s not rocket science), it is 99% effective. In the rare instance where it fails, the woman can make a quick decision or go to another state.

How will women react to a reasonable compromise between those who want no abortion at all and you soulless ghouls who support it for any reason up to delivery time?

We'll see.

Agree. A six-week ban STILL allows abortion, and most women realize she might be pregnant at the 2-week point when she misses her period. By week 3, and no period even a week past due, she still has 3 weeks to get the abortion.

99% of abortions are for complications that end the pregnancy.

Your response shies that you are a fuckfest of irresponsibility.

But there’s more.

If a woman gets an abortion because of a fuckfest of irresponsibility, it’s still none of your business.

Link for this stat?

If a woman kills an infant, is it our business? Or if a thug kills a passerby, is it our business? SOME people think killing is wrong.

And in the case of the six-week ban, it’s a compromise between the people who want no abortion and people who are appalled by mid-term abortions. The woman still gets to have her abortion, or if she decides too late, she can take a bus to the next state.

Totally. After the SC decision, other forms of birth control skyrocketed because people were being forced into being more responsible instead of just coming in for an abortion, just because you could.

Maybe if you get pregnant you can just stand upside down for as long as it takes.

You don't understand how doctors estimate pregnancy.


The date of conception is a guess at best so there is no reliable way to tell when a woman conceived therefore no reliable way to state when she is 6 weeks pregnant.

You do NOT want him to show you the place from which he pulled this particular statistic.

it sure is an educated guess though......................i think 10 weeks would be a good standard...but then again not my call or concern

Most abortions take place before 11 weeks already this whole 6 week thing is a essentially a total ban

 

[Donald H]

Escalating the battle between the two sides, and mostly for the pleasure of doing it, and very little caring about the lives of the unborn babies.

(see the list of new topics for examples of doing the same thing, but for mean-spirited causes other than unborn babies.

Took me a second - being the sweet Jewish girl that I am - but I got it! Funny. And true!

So why can’t she take the bus to a neighboring state? Inconvenient, I know….but nothing compared to the “inconvenience” paid by the unborn child deprived of a life.

Feminist women should only be allowed to be fucked in the ass. That way we avoid this dilemma.
