Banning Abortion- A fool's errand

Just follow the links.

Health Problems & Outcomes for 24-Week Old Preemies​

In general, infants that are born very early are not considered to be viable until after 24 weeks gestation. This means that if you give birth to an infant before they are 24 weeks old, their chance of surviving is usually less than 50 percent.

Some infants are born before 24 weeks gestation and do survive. But these infants have a very high chance of severe long-term health problems. About 40 percent of these preemies will suffer long-term health complications because they were born prematurely.
not seeing your point,,
 
How many abortions does God do, too many!!

Up to 1 in 5 confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage before 20 weeks, but many other women miscarry without having realized they are pregnant.

got any proof god did that??

and didnt know you believed in god,,
 
So the Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade in the most cowardly way possible.

Of course, Roe was always based on some legal jiggery-pokery, in that it found a "right to privacy" that never really existed without addressing the issue of when life begins.

The reason why the court did this was because they knew the laws on the books in most states in 1973 were unworkable and had to go, because no one was following them. But like all failed ideas, this time will be different, the advocates say.

Okay, let's get real here.

For the anti-abortion crowd, what is your real solution? Are you going to put pregnant women under house arrest to make sure they don't get abortions? Or are you just going to overturn Roe v. Wade and pretend you accomplished something.

How about prostitution? Prostitution is illegal in 49 states. Yet it is believed that there are 1 million working prostitutes in the United States today, and you can find massage parlors, strip joints and escort services pretty easily.

Okay, how about alcohol? Remember prohibition? (Well, even I'm not *that* old.) Well guess what, that didn't stop people from drinking. People found all sorts of imaginative ways to get around that law, Al Capone was pretty much openly smuggling alcohol into the country or making it illegally and the only way the government actually got him was on income tax evasion.

How's that war on drugs working out for you? Well, not so well. According to estimates, 19.1 million Americans over the age of 12 have used drugs within the last 30 days. "Just Say No (not today)" We spend billions on it, lock up more people than any country in the world. Hey, how many drug users are you going to want to cut loose to make room for the abortion patients?


Now, taking all of these factors into account- Exactly what mechanism are you guys going to use to ban abortion? Because none of these other prohibitions seem to work terribly well, especially when law enforcement is already stretched pretty thin.


Just quit your Libtard whining.

You Liberal filth lost this. Learn to live with it.

The children get to live for now. That is a good thing.

We human beings had to put up with you Libtard scum being able to kill the children for decades.

If it sucks for you filth not to be able to kill the children then you will just have to learn to embrace the suck.
 
The Liberal filth are pretending they are upset about this abortion ruling in Texas but they are lying to you. They actually love it.

The asshole news media is talking about it night and day and they are not reporting on Potatohead's disaster in Afghanistan.

It takes the heat off the failure of the Democrats. It is like manna from heaven for the Moon Bats.
 
Exactly.

Women will come out in droves to put a stop to this.

I will be extremely surprised if we don't see a repeat of 2018.

The stupid republicans just handed the next election to the democrats.

Almost all women are horrified by the Texas law. Especially the fact that there is no exception for rape and incest.

Even most anti abortion people agree with the exception for rape and incest.

So republican women will either not vote or vote for a democrat.

Democrat and Independent women will vote in droves to get rid of these republicans who take women's rights from us so callously.

Indeed - Two out of three American voters support a woman's right to abortion (in most or all cases) by a 2-1 margin. I can't find a poll on women only, but would bet even odds that the 66% figure goes to at leas 75%.

The TikTockers are sure certainly having fun with the Texas whistleblower site! :)


 
The legislature in TX passed the law as it is following the will of its constituents. I am actually pro choice and agree that people will just find other ways. But if this is what the voters in TX want it’s what they get.

I think you are jumping to conclusions about what Texas wants and the will of their constituents.

Texas voters were questioned about was whether they support the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion legal in the United States. 57% agree with that ruling.​
Brown says that result puts Texans largely in line with the rest of the country. “They vote a little bit more conservatively,” he says, “but on something like Roe vs. Wade, they really come close to mirroring the national data.”​
Support for Roe v. Wade does shift along political lines though.​
Only 34% of Texas Republicans polled agree with the ruling. That’s compared with 80% of Democrats and 67% of Independent voters.​

Then during the next election these legislators will lose their spots. Correct? What am I missing?

You are missing the fact that Republican legislators are out of touch with their constituents on these 60-70% issues. And well, if you believe that a Republican in Texas is going to vote for a Democrat because they disagree with the Republican on certain issues - I have a bridge and some swamp land you'll love.

They can vote for more moderate Republicans? I get Zero representation in MA sans my Town. Zero. Every Congressperson is a leftist. Life goes on. If I dislike it, I either need to move or bitch here. LOL

The Democratic party doesn’t need nor want my vote.

Trust me when I tell you that I know how you feel. I lived in purple-blue Boise for 20 years but considering the makeup of the rest of the state, my votes for US Senators and POTUS were meaningless (which is why popular vote should pick POTUS and not the EC).

I'll bet there are pockets of Boston that lean Republican. If you live in one of those, your vote absolutely matters in picking a Congressional candidate, state legislature, city council, etc etc.

But how often does a moderate Republican primary and beat a hard right Republican incumbent. Next to never?

We have zero even moderate congresspersons and our senators are embarrassing in Lizzy and fellow leftist Ed Markey.
 
Crapo and Risch are US Senators from Idaho. Sheesh - I know who Warren and Markey are. Literally 90% of the pols in Idaho are independently wealthy farmers, ranchers and businessmen who live in very rural areas.
Warren and Markey are famous. Warren ran for president. I cannot name every senator.
