Alabama has recently made abortion illegal except in cases of threats to the Mother's health. I'm thinking many other states are going to follow Alabama's example. They want to undo Roe vs. Wade. How many here believe this will go to the Supreme Court? Should Row vs. Wade be overturned? Please vote and tell us why you feel as you do. Thank you. P.S. I personally believe a woman should have the right to choose.
Roe turns 50 this year I wonder if they are still alive if they even have a clue what their mother started. Norma died ProLife
The threat of overturning RvW is going to have unintended consequences for those who are anti women's rights. These are the same fundamentalist theists that passed DOMA which denied gays their Constitutional right to marry the consenting adult of their choice. That decision ended up ENSURING that gays ended up with the right to marry nationwide. This is heading in the same direction only instead of just picking a fight with a small minority like gays they have picked a fight with the LARGEST VOTING BLOC of all. Women are NOT going to accept being denied their Constitutional rights by a bunch of old white males.
Sure it is. You've been vaccinated haven't you? My advice, tell it to the TSA agent groping you, or the cops who cavity search you after you refuse to be groped by the TSA.
Roe is actually good for the right as it allows them an issue they do not have to do anything about. Without Roe, issue voters will demand restrictions on abortion while, I think a majority supports the right to choose. The right will lose elections. I am a right winger. Ending Roe would be bad for me. But Roe is horrible law and an over reach that has brought out extremes in people that, for instance, did not happen in Europe where the issue is argued to be being done more democratically rather than by fiat. Even fundamental rights, like the right to life, is subject to due process. If cutting a crook's hand off were not considered both cruel AND unusual, with such process, I think that could be a law, even if I personally oppose doing so.
Baby Roe, do you even know what "Roe vs wade" is? 1969 Roe gave birth to baby Roe who was adopted, if baby Roe is still alive no one knows, even baby Roe doesn't know they're Roe assuming they are still alive.
I'd agree with something close to what we decided in that PF abortion vote last year. http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?goto/post&id=1069562130#post-1069562130 But at 6 weeks and very limited exception, it seems that Alabama has gone far beyond that. Too far imo. -Meta
To directly answer the title of the thread (not any of the other comments, just the literal title), it depends on the water depth. If fairly deep (over knee deep) I vote Row. If shallow (under knee deep) I vote Wade. Of course that varies depending on outside temperature. Below 50 Fahrenheit, I generally choose Row.
I agree. The fetus has that right per Roe vs. Wade (after the second trimester). Liberals should have left well enough alone. All of the crowing and laws allowing abortion up to the moment of conception caused a backlash.......
I'm Prolife, wear my pin with pride but I'm also a realist, 18 weeks is where I fall for various reasons that would take far too long to explain. In an ideal world there would be no abortion but my strong beliefs in personal freedom drive me to some compromise.
It's interesting to note that the vast majority of the country agrees that abortion should be legal in cases of rape and endangerment of the mother's life. So even assuming it's a person, it doesn't follow the fetus has equal rights as the mother.
Just saw that the Governor signed the bill into law is a woman...https://apnews.com/b61158f599d24817bca8d1737d5e23bd People are saying this law silences women's voices. But this governor is a woman making her voice heard. Devil's advocate: Abortion on demand gives women the right to choose. But if they have the right to choose, is pregnancy now reduced to a mundane choice. No more emergency pregnancies. Your choice, your problem. Does abortion rights like this make women LESS powerful?
The GOVERNOR signed the bil, does NOT matter if it was female or male. Of course women retaining the right to their own bodies makes them more powerful! That's why Repubs want to take away that right
