Ranked Vote: How Should the Law Handle Abortion?

Yes. It is not uncommon for a woman to get to term and be unaware she is pregnant particularly if they have irregular periods of continue to have periods throughout the pregnancy (“spotting”)

 

However the decision underpinning RvW tied it to an implied “right to privacy” and THAT is not a right you want to see challenged

 

And that is what happens now even on countries like Canada where there is no restrictions

 

Yes. This is a textualist ruling based on the Constitution as opposed to RvW.

 

Because the mother wants her baby dead and if it survives the abortion some doctors, as one former democrat government stated, allow the baby to die rather than try to save it. Pretty gross isn't it but that is the state of abortion here.

 

Not when another human life is involved and involvement is to kill it.

 

How many women does that apply to?

 

Not going down that rabbit hole.

 

Is there some number that makes it OK or something?

 

It is certainly not a rabbit hole, it is the salient point the pro-abortion side doesn't want to address. What do you think happens in an abortion?

 

It is still none of your business........... as you are not the one carrying the embryo. If you are the "father"..........and in a relationship with the woman........then you might have some say in the matter.

Strange how many rich men have no problem paying big bucks t o have an unwanted pregnancy terminated. (and on the QT)........... when it is an incontinence tot hem.

Keep in mind not everyone has the same beleifs as you do........ and that has to be respected too................along with their privacy.

 

It all depends on the viability of the embryo/ fetus.

A full term abortion might be valid if the infant has severe disabilities. And that too.....is no one's business outside of the mother and her support team.

All of this is a very private matter.......

 

Of course it is our business when another human life is involved. The protection of all of our inherent rights is all of our business. And spare me "the rich men...." nonsense.

 

So tell us how should a MAN deal with unwanted pregnancy?? Should he pay for the abortion?? Or should he just let the woman deal with it on her own.......and absolve himself of all responsibility?? including child support What if they are teenagers) If so........then it is none of anyone's business as to what she decides. It is HER right to privacy too.....and to make her own decisions??particularly those that involve her body.

 

I say, same way Europe did. It doesn't seem very controversial there at all. Agree upon a limit parameters both sides compromise and be done with it.

But then it couldn't be used as a political football in the arena of politics

 

No I am asserting that a) it is extremely rare and usually connected to either depression ( baby blues) or desperation (abandoned babies) and it already has legislation covering this. Pre viability is another issue and is better handled by reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies

 

Sooooo x you were in favour of vaccine and mask mandates then?

 

Same thing that happens with a natural miscarriage or failure of conception or failure of implantation

 

I’m an old nurse. I don’t need to be lectured on the pros and cons of pregnancy termination. I’ve see the short lives of grossly deformed babies which have been allowed to die in a haze of morphine and I’ve seen also the lives of women with kids they can’t afford to feed and care for.

 

I am a fellow (retired) Nurse too. Understand completely what you are talking about.

The "lay" person can have some very idealized notions about all this.........and unrealistic. ........particularity when it does not even apply to them.

Seems the need for better education about human reproduction is badly needed.

 

Absolutely! And a lot more vasectomies!

 

Absolutely !!!!

(and Happy Birthday Sally !!! )

 

Aw, thank you.

 

OOOPS......forgot this :

 

I said nothing about the pros and cons, my post was about the reasons for late term abortions as the studies by the Guttmacher Institute have shown, most are not for fetal deformities or threat to the mother. That there is the rare case is not justification for unrestricted. Wouldn't you agree?
