Do you consider an egg a chick ?most people eat eggs but I don't know of anyone who would eat a baby chick. Let's keep making ridiculous comparisons, even though my chick and egg comparison is actually pretty good. The bottom line is abortion is a very serious, very personal decision that some women must deal with wether they want to or not. Do you feel comfortable making other people's life decisions for them because that's what you're asking the state to do.
You seem to have made your decision with regards to that, now please be courteous and allow other people, people you do not know or seem to care about make their own decisions. It's not a decision anyone else could make for you, especially a government entity that has no business in interfering with such personal matters.
One more point. My mother made her decision to create another person in this already overpopulated world. I am the entity inhabiting that physical form to experience life as an individual but and this is a very important but because most people in this world do not realize who or what they are. I am the entity that makes this physical form a " human being " . I do not know death firsthand, I am eternal. To experience death is the completion of our visit here. Physical forms are temporary, we are not. So the whole construct " humans " in this world have is based on a lie. Understandable to a degree because of the loss of memory we have in crossing the threshold between universes, exceptions to this rule are rare but I am one such spirit.
You're still talking crazy. That would make no sense.
So if you decide to starve your infant son or daughter or are cruelly abusing them or otherwise doing them harm, it should be your decision and I shouldn't intervene?
Which has absolutely nothing to do with whether that unborn baby is a 'person'. I am so sorry that you feel there wasn't sufficient room for you here on Earth and hope you will rethink that. You are correct that you are a creation of God, a living soul, unique and different and important as a human being with your own special genius, talent, aptitude, instincts to either be a positive force here or one that is more destructive than useful/helpful. You are here for a reason and a purpose. But all that genius, talent, aptitude, instincts were assigned to your living soul as you were formed and grew and went through all the stages of human development within the womb as well as after your drew your first breath and since.
See that is a common misconception. A spirit cannot enter a body which is already occupied by another spirit. That first breathe of life is what allows us access to these physical life forms.
No need, abortion with reasonable guardrails is already legal here and there has been no serious move that I am aware of to change that.
Putting the abortion issue to rest for good and all by allowing a up or down vote would prove to me that they genuinely desire to win elections going forward.
If you wanted to shoot your neighbor, you psychopath, I would not allow you the courtesy of doing so without going to prison for murder.
You neomalthusian scum never have the gumption to get off this spinning ball first - you always want someone else to die for you.
Well if that person is a producer abortion does have a way of evening things out since it's a better than even chance that the aborted will be a net drain on society.
It's human but not yet a person
Get your facts straight.
Thirty states apply the law from conception until birth and exclude language about stage of pregnancy or viability.
27 states from conception
The once libertarian-leaning, small-government GOP's flip to intrusive authoritarianism with its politicians dictating their ideological dogma to science, medicine, education, private enterprise, etc., is especially egregious in its abrogating personal freedom that had been respected for half-a-century.
Most of these states that have banned abortions had trigger laws in place which will all eventually have be voted on by the people and we'll see many of these states laws overturned
