POLITICS Roll v Wade II

Discussion in 'Politicants' started by Tenacious D, May 16, 2019.

    Tenacious D The law is of supreme importance, or no importance

    A recent, and some would argue draconian, Alabama law severely restricts the performing of abortions in that state.

    Of particular interest, the state sponsor of the the bill openly admits that the new law was specifically written to serve as the means to challenge Roe v Wade with SCOTUS, and which is a sentiment shared by many of his legislative peers.

    I don’t think that this is ultimately going to turn out the way they expect, and strongly believe that the chances of this court doing a full reversal of RvW are equal parts exceedingly remote and highly unlikely.

    But I thought it a matter which was worthy of discussion.

    I am a staunch advocate of abortion change. I think anything past the first trimester should be outlawed except when the mother's life is in danger.

    This law, however, is hyperbolic and very draconian, and will probably backfire on them horribly.

    if the motivation for this is truly a belief that life begins at conception and regardless of viability, why are there no protests outside of fertility clinics, or calls to end envitro treatments?

    there is a level of ignorance and dogmatism necessary to believe outright banning all abortion is going to make a positive change. People (born, thinking people) will die because of this. others will needlessly suffer. we'd be better off looking at how to eliminate the demand than the supply. Sound familiar?

    regarding your first bit: why only if life is in danger? what if the fetus is stillborn or nonviable? what if the pregnancy wasn't even detected until the first trimester and is the product of rape or incest or the mother is 11? there are so many factors besides how far along the pregnancy is.

    I don’t really have a take here other than to say that the Alabama politicians responding with some version of “all life is precious” are complete pieces of shit.

    the Gov has executed 6 gifts from God since coming into her office, by her own words.

    The lack of inclusion for those raped or victims of incest is particularly galling.

    I am a staunch advocate for the abolishing of the death penalty as well. It is a gross miscarriage of justice and the risk of executing an innocent is a price too high to pay.

    3%, that we know of. don't know why that is acceptable. maybe it isn't widely known or believed.

    I also wonder what the response would be if 25 women voted on a law focused upon male reproduction.

    if you had exception for incest in Alabama, it would nullify the ban.

    a woman signed it into law so I don't really get that angle. plenty of conservative women put there who think abortion should be illegal. including some who had one themselves and are the worst kind of hypocrite and piece of shit.

    This is interesting. What would that law look like? because the ONLY law you could pass would be to keep men from procreating. I think this is an apples and oranges comparison, but we will never see eye-to-eye on when a human becomes a human, so I don't want to fall into that old argument.

    Why does Alabama think anybody would want to be born there?

    One woman. I'm not arguing the law would be different, necessarily, especially in Alabama, but the lack of a voice on an issue which impact women solely and is voted upon by the other sex is problematic, to me.

    The law isn't particularly important, merely that it be an issue only affecting one sex as voted upon by the other, Viagra, vasectomies, etc. The moral issue is different because men aren't carrying a fetus/baby for 9 months, but that reflects my point, as well.

    I only like the death penalty if caught in the act or on video, without there being no shadow of doubt of them being guilty.

    Having kids changed my views on abortion. I agree with Norris. There is a point that there's no doubt that it crosses being a fetus into being a human being.

    the point of no doubt? come on. seems to be plenty of doubt.

    The fact that 77% of babies with down's syndrome get aborted shows me where our country is on this issue.

    The vast majority of Americans are willing to kill somebody if they think it will make their life hard.
