There are still plenty of places in the country where it is legal to kill a fetus. In any case, it was a shaky legal precedent, not a right. Now everyone can go about it the right way. — NOS4A2
Why do I need to travel to make decisions about my body? Funny how freedom all of a sudden isn't important to you anymore.
Being pro-life isn't degenerate. Thinking you have a right to decide for others is. — Benkei
Doesn't anyone who engages in the democratic process think they have a right to decide for others, and are they not actively trying to get the government to impose their opinions on society? — Tzeentch
Naive and dumb reduction of my position on government. You seem to miss the point entirely you’re completely inconsistent. That's a consequence of your ideological hangups.
should one want to kill her child — NOS4A2
The architects and propagandists of the Bush regime join your campaign. — NOS4A2
Every human being who walked the earth began that way. They are not like cysts. Abortion, infanticide, homicide…they all involve the same act: causing the death, or killing, of a human being. — NOS4A2
Trump is attempting to side-step the problem by leaving it up to the state. This makes it a matter of choice. It is a form of pernicious relativism - arbitrarily permissible if and when the individual state says it is. No true "pro-life" advocate should find this acceptable. — Fooloso4
Pro-forced birth / anti-woman's autonomy aka "pro-life" will be the critical dealbreaker for the majority of women voters across the political spectrum this year like it was in 2022. :fire:Simply put, they are out of their minds. And one must ask, one must ask, why exactly is it that they don’t trust women? — Kamala Harris, from DNC nomination acceptance speech
If that’s what you believe then shouldn’t you want a national ban? As it is, the abortion rate hasn’t decreased by much, if at all. Most abortions are performed with drugs, and as you pointed out earlier, women can travel to states where it’s legal. It seems that the most vulnerable women, those with the least resources, in red states are hardest hit.
The act is no one’s decision but the woman’s. — NOS4A2
In other news: Harris has her first interview tomorrow. I think she should do several interviews, not just one big one. Too easy for Fox News to demonize if even the slightest phrasing is off. — Mikie
You say abortion is no one’s decision but the woman’s, and then go on to say that the state ought to have more right to determine women’s choice because it’s easier to restrict or liberate at the local level. This is contradictory. If you think abortion is a woman’s choice then the state ought not restrict that choice on any level and no matter how easy or difficult.
