Was she forced to have unprotected sex and get pregnant?

Are there cases of immaculate conception I don't know about?

Life has consequences, part of our current social problem is people thinking we can eliminate that part of reality.

It's why people think they can pretend they are the opposite sex and demand everyone else has to go along with them.

It doesnt matter. She has viable solutions to end the gestation, and the govt FORCES HER to to complete it.

 

[BackAgain]

It is to me. Its none of the governments business what a woman does to her body. Period.

It actually not something concerning simply what a woman does to her “own” body.

And that is the very point.

Welcome to government, law, and society.

And it does matter. The argument the pro-life people make is it isn't just her life, but another unique one.

I put the balance at 10-12 weeks for birth control abortions. After that the 2nd life has just as much right to exist as the mother.

 

[TNHarley]

After that the 2nd life has just as much right to exist as the mother.

I dont agree with that either lol

 

[martybegan]

I dont agree with that either lol

That's your right, but that doesn't make you right.

 

[TNHarley]

That's your right, but that doesn't make you right.

A stance on abortion is subjective.

 

[martybegan]

A stance on abortion is subjective.

And?

Louisiana has filed an arrest warrant for a California doctor who mailed abortion pills to a Louisiana address, despite Louisiana's prohibition on abortion. In addition to abortion that has interesting connotations for other controversial laws - gun control, hate speech/threats etc.

Louisiana issues arrest warrant for California doctor accused of mailing abortion pills​

The case represents an additional front in a growing legal battle between liberal and conservative states over prescribing abortion medications via telehealth and mailing them to patients.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana is pursuing a criminal case against another out-of-state doctor accused of mailing abortion pills to a patient in the state, court documents filed this month revealed.

A warrant for the arrest of a California doctor is a rare charge of violating one of the state abortion bans that has taken effect since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 and allowed enforcement.

It represents an additional front in a growing legal battle between liberal and conservative states over prescribing abortion medications via telehealth and mailing them to patients.

Pills are the most common way abortions are accessed in the U.S., and are a major reason that, despite the bans, abortion numbers rose last year, according to a report.

Louisiana woman says she was forced to take abortion drugs​

Louisiana said in a court case filed Sept. 19 that it had issued a warrant for a California-based doctor who it says provided pills to a Louisiana woman in 2023.

Both the woman, Rosalie Markezich, and the state attorney's general, are seeking to be part of a lawsuit that seeks to order drug regulators to bar telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone, one of the two drugs usually used in combination for medication abortions.

In court filings, Markezich said her boyfriend at the time used her email address to order drugs from Dr. Remy Coeytaux, a California physician, and sent her $150, which she forwarded to Coeytaux. She said she had no other contact with the doctor.

She said she did not want to take the pills but felt forced to and said in the filing that "the trauma of my chemical abortion still haunts me," and that it would not have happened if telehealth prescriptions to the drug were off limits.

The accusation builds on a position taken by anti-abortion groups: That allowing abortion pills to be prescribed by phone or video call and filled by mail opens the door to women being coerced to take them.

"Rosalie is bravely representing many women who are victimized by the illegal, immoral, and unethical conduct of these drug dealers," Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said in a statement.

The doctor faces a lawsuit in Texas​

Murrill's office did not immediately answer questions about what charges Coeytaux faces or when the warrant was issued. But under the state's ban on abortions at all stages of pregnancy, physicians convicted of providing abortion face up to 15 years in prison and $200,000 in fines.

Try mailing say...a 30 round AR-15 magazine, from a state where they're legal to California.

Let us know how it goes.

 

[TNHarley]

And?

So I dont really see how I could be right or wrong about that.

 

[martybegan]

So I dont really see how I could be right or wrong about that.

You are wrong. We have gotten away from being able to say that.

 

[BackAgain]

I think abortion is abhorrent but the govt controlling peoples bodies is worse.

Abortion fully controls the life of the preborn human. And it conflicts with the government’s obligation to secure the blessing of life, etc.

 

[TNHarley]

You are wrong. We have gotten away from being able to say that.

I was literally disagreeing with your opinion.

 

[TNHarley]

Abortion fully controls the life of the preborn human. And it conflicts with the government’s obligation to secure the blessing of life, etc.

At the expense of loss of body autonomy.

 

[BackAgain]

At the expense of loss of body autonomy.

The preborn human life loses all autonomy and hope of it.

 

[TNHarley]

The preborn human life loses all autonomy and hope of it.

It doesnt have autonomy. Its literally connected to the mother.
Fetuses are completely dependent entities.
You are implying the govt has more authority over the womans body than she does, and thats simply bonkers to me.

 

[BackAgain]

It doesnt have autonomy. Its literally connected to the mother.

If you’re connected to life support that doesn’t mean you have autonomy, either.

Still wouldn’t justify taking your life.

Fetuses are completely dependent entities.

So are folks on life support.

You are implying the govt has more authority over the womans body than she does, and thats simply bonkers to me.

You are implying that not having autonomy means the right to life ceases. That’s bunkers to many of us.

 

[TNHarley]

If you’re connected to life support that doesn’t mean you have autonomy, either.

Still wouldn’t justify taking your life.

Of course not. You are comparing a born human to a fetus.

So are folks on life support.

Again, that just isnt the best argument.

You are implying that not having autonomy means the right to life ceases. That’s bunkers to many of us.

Nope. That fetus cant breath. Cant consume. It isnt even born yet.
And if the mother doesnt want ti growing in her body, she has authority over her body. The govt does not.

 

[BackAgain]

Nope. That fetus cant breath. Cant consume. It isnt even born yet.

None of that says anything about that preborn human being alive.

And if the mother doesnt want ti growing in her body, she has authority over her body. The govt does not.

So you keep saying. And the point you cannot or will not address is about the right to life itself of the preborn human being inside her.

So much for small government, so much for states’ rights.

The authoritarian right is infamous for its hypocrisy.
