Let me get this straight.... your intention is to try and force women to bear a child regardless of the circumstances surrounding pregnancy? Rape, incest?
No......your intention seems to be to make me pay for it.
That was a pretty slippery side step. Your intentions are consistent with the most extreme of the far right religious loons.
Not really.
I just know how to use logic. You, on the other hand, are using emotion almost exclusively.
First abortion was made legal, with some exceptions. Then it became abortion on demand. Then it became a Democrat promising taxpayers would foot the bill. Then it became birth control should be covered under health plans. Next is birth control must be taxpayer funded and we must be happy with the slippery slope we've been forced to slide down regardless of our beliefs.
Yep. Another slippery sidestep. That's another characteristic of the far religious right. Their spoken agenda is so often muddled with stuttering and mumbling in cheap attempts to conceal their true intentions. The error you made was identifying in your comments "our beliefs". You're entitled to your extremist religious beliefs but you're not entitled to force those beliefs on others.
The zealots never let the lucidity of a reasoned argument interfere with their warped agenda.
Most folks consider abortion (a matter of women's health care), essentially a private matter that should be protected from governmental intrusion to the extent that is reasonable. Roe vs. Wade has achieved that reasonable compromise.
On the other hand, the extremist right would abrogate a woman's right to control her own womb.
The fact that there cannot be consensus on the issue does not dictate that we mindlessly leap to an absolutist proscription as the rigious right would want. As with most contested matters, we are dealing with conflicting recognized rights: a woman to control her womb, a fetus to develop into an individual. Rowe v. Wade has delineated the specifics of such a compromise, recognizing as a superior matter of privacy the right of a woman to control a pregnancy before that zygote/embryo/fetus has become a viable entity, and granting that fetus a protected status once its development has reached a definitive stage. There are always positions in between that can be contested, but to legislate either one extremist position or the other is not an equitable approach.
