Holding out on the abortion issue sure worked out for us here in Michigan. From "voting our morals" we got new abortion rights and a shitload of gun laws. I almost forgot the redistricting changes to insure Rs can't win again. Worked out great, if you're a commie.

(b) As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion. (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being “born alive” as defined in this section. |

Except one is literally you decided to suck out a baby, limb by limb, and the other is owning an inanimate object. Also, the supreme court made this call. I guess we should stop filing suit over shit so we don't risk future elections. Fuck, I may as well sign up for the DNC at this rate. View Quote The Supreme Court made the call that abortion should be decided by the states, not the federal government. They did not rule on the legality or morality of abortion. Not sure why you would think otherwise. The Supreme Court has one job . .. to determine if laws, rules, or legislation are Constitutional. Just because you WANT to think they ruled against abortion does not make it so. |

Sure, let's make a fair abortion law.
A woman can abort her fetus at any time. In doing so, no one can be charged with her murder for any reason after that. What's good for the gosling is good for the goose or something like that. |

Ultimately you have to decide if you value a grown, developed, adult human more, or a non-viable developing fetus more.

View Quote That’s the thing. You can’t satisfactorily legislate a topic that includes the possibility for countless unknown or unforeseen circumstances. “Medical necessity”. Sounds great in theory. In reality, what does that mean? Who decides it? What if different doctors give different opinions? I don’t like abortion. I despise it actually, especially as a form of birth control. But what I despise even more is government regulation on things I believe they have no business regulating, and as such I will almost always err on the side of individual choice. |

Almost all legislation is on topics that have countless unknowns and unforeseen circumstances. Take homicide for example. There is legal, justifiable homicide and illegal homicide (murder). A process exists to differentiate between the two. Legislators can surely craft law that defines medical necessity. In fact, the Florida law simply requires two doctors, any two, to agree on it’s necessity. |

I think it's hilarious that people think that passing through a ring of muscle confers life upon a human.

Originally Posted By SavedByTheBlood: If all the right needs to do to win is concede on child murder and condone it may this country epically crash and burn because we are already too far gone. We deserve what’s coming. View Quote Which is ultimately true. If one really believes that they will have to stand before God and account their actions in their life, I guess they have to ask how it will go over when they say "yeah I supported murdering children in the womb...but it was a political calculation..." You have the side that pretty much supports murdering children, maiming them, and ultimately will be pushing fucking them. And the other side, well it really isn't a side since a nice chunk of that is never going to compromise on murdering the unborn. So they aren't on the "same side" as the secular conservative who thinks that abortion is fine as there is a good chance the kids murdered will grow up to be liberals, and maybe they left will not assault their rights quite has hard. Maybe buy a few more years before that Glock 19 is illegal after all. A few million more dead babies is a small price to pay right? You have the left pushing abortion until the moment of birth, and not the fringe. as long as one toe is in the mother go ahead and kill it no matter how viable. But that will be a compromise I guess that has to be made as well. |
