    There are sooooo many ways to have sex without doing it the one way that results in her having to kill someone else because them being alive is an inconvenience. The power to create life shouldn't be wielded all willy nilly. Respect it.

    What's that saying in Spiderman? With great power comes great responsibility? This is the power to create life. I'd say that's a great power. Sounds about right.

    Agreed, if you are liberal and live in Texas, you should take Mark up on his offer to move you out of the state for free. California is the place for you.

    Drama queen much? Sheesh.

    When you can get pregnant, perhaps your opinion will matter.

    Like I said, men should get snipped, take at least some responsibility.

    especially as liberals are more likely to use birth control

    Super interesting. I'd love to know how they came to this strategy, someone needs to leak their internal emails like with Facebook!

    That would be a criminal offense that could get them sued.

    Why would it cause someone to have to move? They could simply go to another state to have the baby killed then come back home.

    Exactly, do they really have employees who are constantly having to have their unborn babies killed or something?

    It's a measurable physiological development which is far more than the arbitrary points the pro-abortion side uses but hey OK then lets use the point when that human life is created and begins, conception.

    There are numerous key stages both prior to and after electrical impulses are detectable in the chest cavity. You have just picked an emotional one because it is easier to sell to the public than an outright ban.

    I have still not seen a single one of you justify why the rights of the zygote / fetus overrules the right of the woman.

    What do you feel should be the punishment for a 14 year old rape victim that terminates her fetus? What about a woman that terminates a fetus with a severe medical condition that will live in agony until it’s natural death?

    Anyone who helped get that mother across the state line - be it a bus driver, an Uber driver, a Pilot, a friend, Mom ... all could
    be sued under this bill - another moronic law brought to you by the half-wit squad running Texas.

    So long as you are good with criminal penalties for every frozen embryo that is destroyed.
    You on board with that one?

    Indeed. Why hasn't Texas closed these down?

    How would what I am "good with" determine scientific fact?

    Since it is a scientific fact you should think of those frozen embryos the exact same way you do the baby in the womb or the baby after it is born.

    And what is the FIRST one, creation. I didn't pick anything, Texas did. For years I have heard the pro-abortion side justify killing the unborn baby because it didn't have a heartbeat. I didn't agree, we humans go through a stage of our human life without a beating heart, any early stage that doesn't last very long but that is just another normal stage of a human life.

    The highest right which we are created with is our right to life, we are all created equal and that is the first right. Why does a woman not wanting to be pregnant because it is not convenient, the 95% of abortions, trump a human beings right to life?

    Specious, the Texas law does not punish her. Their are allowances for babies who will be born with untreatable terminal illnesses.

    How does what I should think about an ethical question determine if it is scientific fact? Say I was fine with it, would that change the scientific facts? Would that make those embryos NOT human beings because of what I should believe?

    And yes I am oppose to mass production and harvesting of human embryos and then selectively killing them. Do you supporting creating and harvesting human beings and killing the ones we don't like or want?

    A fetus isn’t a baby
    A zygote isn’t a baby
    These are medical terms — you should at least learn the basics of what you are trying to force on others.

    If the zygote or fetus didn’t use the woman to sustain itself you would have a valid argument. But because that zygote or fetus is depriving another — sentient — being of her right the issue becomes less black in white. So again, what gives you the ethical or moral authority to turn a woman (or in some cases a child) into a forced unwilling incubator over a bundle of unformed cells?

    Is slavery permitted if it saves lives? Yes or no?

    I am not speaking of Texas, I am asking you personally. What should be done to these people that you have deemed to be murderers?

    I just do not understand why states do not make these things illegal instead of what Texas did

    Here is the bill can you point to the part that says bus drivers and Uber drivers and pilots are anyone else who would have no knowledge of what the person is doing or a mother who went along for the ride?

    Look I think there are legal challenges that will occur and will end up at the SCOTUS but let's deal with what the law ACTUALLY says.

    What it says is that an angry ex boyfriend could say the Uber driver was made aware of the reason for the trip (true or not) just
    to make a quick $10,000 bucks, and then the Uber driver has TO PROVE he didn't know. How does he do that?

    And baby is our common language you should at least learn the basics of conversation and our common language. Zygotes and fetuses are ALSO unborn babies, those are just stages of a baby's life. What do you object so to calling the unborn baby a baby, what it is.

    My argument which is based on science is perfect valid in spite of your pure self-serving arbitrary requirements.

    And now this absurd nonsense.

    Why do you keep throwing stuff on the wall here. The law here doesn't deem anyone a murderer.
