But it doesn't bother you that the same guy will never go to Washington and write a single piece of legislation on the matter or attempt to overturn Roe v Wade?

Or that same person is probably against putting an end to semi or fully automatic weapons or that they are probably pro death penalty?

I'm not saying I'm for abortion, but there is a lot of hypocrite when it comes to pro-life stances in Washington.

I don't get why anti-abortion is linked with pro-life. I don't see the comparison between an unborn child and a convicted murderer/rapist.

You need an imaginary friend to decipher right from wrong?

Nice.

It's all killing. We talk about protecting those that can't protect themselves, but the same politicians in Washington that are anti-abortion want to let automatic gun bans expire just because they are in the pocket of some NRA lobbyist. Those guns lead to unprotected people being killed all the time.

I am against the death penalty for many reasons, but one is because there is no such thing as a sure thing. Convicted murderers are later found to be not guilty enough to make me be against taking any type of action that is non-reversable in such a way.

I link the two because I don't see how someone can choose who it is OK to allow to die and who is allowed to live.

I probably agree with you more on than issue than not, but again, I don't like politicians getting involved in setting limits or drawing the line. At some point, there is a day in which it is OK, but a few hours later all of a sudden it is wrong.

That's why I try to be black and white with my opinions as much as possible. I do think that somewhere I would find an exception, but it does boggle me to wonder why a woman would wait that long to make that decision. I think most women probably know what decision that they would make earlier in life before anything even happens and if anything if they were for abortion, when they ended up being pregnant, would choose to have the child. Waiting 5 months or however long seems idiotic to me, but I am not sure I should be the one deciding where to draw the line.

One thing I have always found interesting. If a mother wants to keep her child, that is her baby from the time she finds out she is pregnant to everybody, including her doctors and nursed. If she wants an abortion, that same baby is now just a clump of cells.

It's not a child. It's a fishy like organism.

Nah but seriously it isn't a child. If you want to call that a child I'll go on the opposite end of the spectrum and say that it isn't a human child until it has self-recognition at the age of like 5.

Anyway I'm not sure how I feel about abortions after 5 months anyway. I will say it seems like a slippery slope that pro-choice people could use to eventually make abortion illegal.

It is either a baby or a clump of cells either way. It just depends on how you or whoever wants to define it. Technically, we all are just organic clumps of cells. Nothing changes.

The law sounds rational.

I guess there is scientific evidence that babies feel pain starting at the 5th month.

Regarding "Wtf is wrong with people"

Abortion was made legal by the supreme court almost 40 years ago.

Republicans pretend that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter in legal disputes, but they continue to pass legislation over abortion at the state level because they don't what to accept a 39 year old ruling.

I think it bothers "liberals" that are "Pro-choice" because its obvious that Republican "groups" are working behind the scenes to have mutliple states pass similar legislation, with an attempt to get abortion in front of a conservative majority supreme court.

IMO the hypocrisy is wtf is wrong with people.

If, as seems likely, the Supreme court strikes down the individual mandate. Republicans that are still fighting Roe vs Wade will say, "The Supreme Court has made its choice, the individual mandate is dead, so its time to move on because what the Supreme Court says is law"

I imagine if California passed a law, based on scientific evidence, that hand guns should be banned in the state, Republicans wouldn't trust the "science" and just say that this is evidence of "judicial activism", and an attempt by "Liberals" to take away the 2nd amendment.

I guess a lack of trust in people with opposing ideas and hypocrisy in general is "wtf is wrong with people".

I doubt many people have abortions after 5 months anyway. Usually when you have an abortion you try to keep it quiet, so people don't ask "what happened to the baby".

But from a cost perspective, why pay $100,000 of dollars for a baby born at 5 months, when you can abort it for $600.

Do Republicans really want people on Medicaid (i.e. Charmeesha, Lawanda, and Tyrones old girl Laquisha)and our tax dollars to pay for the expensive care needed for premature babies?

Me thinks that this is one of the "exceptions' to goverment spending that makes the Republican party the party of Hypocrites and fools.

Not that the democrats are much better, if at all.

As stated earlier, when my wife and I went into the doctor's office when she was pregnant, the doctor talked to us about our child.

I'm sure that one doctor using the term child once completely changes the definition of the words child and fetus.
