If they wanted to reduce the number of abortions they would not be focused PURELY on just one approach. Not only that, but they would notice that LOTS of people would like to see the number of abortions decrease, but are opposed to the methodology of laws against women. They could make GREATER headway by increasing their set of solutions rather than focusing exclusively on laws against women. Also, they would notice that Canada manages to have a lower abortion rate than the US, and THEY have NO laws against women!! In fact, they pay for abortions through their healthcare system! What happened is that the LAWS became the issue, not the abortions. The fight is over the LAWS.
What's wrong with laws against women? What's wrong with laws against PEOPLE? Do you think that the lower abortion rate is BECAUSE they have no laws against women and pay for abortions through their healthcare system?
OMGAWD...really? You really support discrimination and rights based on gender? Specific laws aimed at women.....and you can't see that as wrong???? OMYGAWD...
The laws are not oriented to a public good. And, they take away bodily autonomy - a right that could not possibly be more justified. I believe they have found policy that causes women to choose abortion at a far lower rate. The point here is that the right wing doesn't even consider what causes women to believe they don't have another way forward.
Dude, the laws you want ARE against women, and only women. Suggesting the laws you want are about "people" is what is disingenuous.
Preventing innocent life from being terminated is certainly a public good. If there was a ban on elective abortion being performed, women could still do what they want to their body, just like now. Nothing would change. Well it obviously has nothing to do with there being no laws against women and abortions being paid for through their healthcare system -- but whatever Canada does, other countries with a higher abortion rate should perhaps consider it. Economic reasons is one. "Life is easier without a kid" is another. Both are illegitimate.
I see NO way of supporting that. This is just blatantly FALSE. Texas has vigilantes stalking women while doctors are running for cover. And, YOU suggest that is not change??? Look, let's honor the TRUTH, OK? Oh, you weren't listening!! The USA has a higher abortion rate. The USA depends on laws. Get it?? The thing is, there are REASONS women get abortions. Yet, YOU DO NOT EVEN CARE ENOUGH TO ASK!! If you actually cared about women, you would be interested in addressing the issues that lead to women making the decision to abort.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
Should've known you couldn't answer to : OMGAWD...really? You really support discrimination and rights based on gender? Specific laws aimed at women.....and you can't see that as wrong???? OMYGAWD... .....which was in response to YOUR : "" chris155au said: ↑ What's wrong with laws against women?"""""
WHY? The "public" is not affected by abortions... ...except they'd go to jail for life or be executed.... Yes, the U.S. should have no laws concerning abortion. Why? Because YOU say so ?
You see no way of supporting the prevention of innocent life from being terminated? Can you support this claim that vigilantes are stalking women? I'm simply saying that Canada's lower abortion rate compared to the US obviously has nothing to do with there being no laws against women and abortions being paid for through their healthcare system. What ARE these reasons then? Did I not list two of them in my last reply? I said: "Economic reasons is one. "Life is easier without a kid" is another. Both are illegitimate."

An unwillingly pregnant woman is an innocent person and denying her an abortion destroys her life. It was encouraged in the Texas bill, yes. Why are they illegitimate? PS. Anti-abortion and Spurs-fan is probably the worst combo I can think of.
"Prevention"? Texas is simply making abortions available only to those who can afford it. If a woman is raped or is a victim of incest in Texas, abortion is still available to those who have the money. And, yes, Texas put a bounty on anyone who has or helps with an abortion, Obviously, the intent was to enable vigilantes to go after women. Wow, you WORK to ignore the reality! Canada achieves a lower abortion rate WITHOUT laws against Yet the US right wing (like you) insists on ignoring everything BUT their assault on the autonomy of women and their personal health care.
You tried to avoid your mysogyny by claiming it was about "male abortionists, too". But, you still see it as important that YOU can make healthcare decsions for women, who you think just can not do that themselves. That right there is pure mysogyny.
Defending America against COVID is a legitimate objective. We spent huge dollars on ensuring our approach is safe and effective.
