The life begins at menstruation law goes into effect in 90 days:
It sets the gestational age as beginning on the first day of a woman’s last period, rather than at fertilization. Which, in practice, means that a virgin can get pregnant and instead of barring abortions after 20 weeks as the law states, actually cuts the time to 18 weeks.
That is an oxymoron. A fetus is not a person, the US supreme court confirmed this with Roe V. Wade
The biggest question is why does the GOP keep attacking women? Why do they keep forcing their huge government and anti-freedom garbage? I thought that's what the teabaggers/gop were suppose to be against?
All these years later, little has changed.
That is an oxymoron. An African-American is not a person, the US supreme court confirmed this with Dred Scott v. Sandford.
The biggest question is why do the Republicans keep attacking property owners? Why do they keep forcing their huge government and anti-freedom garbage? I thought that's what the Republicans were suppose to be against?
Statists still depend on government to excuse the inexcusable.
A comprehensive global study of abortion has concluded that abortion rates are similar in countries where it is legal and those where it is not, suggesting that outlawing the procedure does little to deter women seeking it.

The data also suggested that the best way to reduce abortion rates was not to make abortion illegal but to make contraception more widely available, said Sharon Camp, chief executive of the Guttmacher Institute.
Quote:
The wealth of information that comes out of the study provides some striking lessons, the researchers said. In Uganda, where abortion is illegal and sex education programs focus only on abstinence, the estimated abortion rate was 54 per 1,000 women in 2003, more than twice the rate in the United States, 21 per 1,000 in that year. The lowest rate, 12 per 1,000, was in Western Europe, with legal abortion and widely available contraception.
This is why restricting abortion is a war on women.....it is PROVEN FACT that the only thing banning abortion accomplishes is to put women at risk of death from unsafe, illegal abortion. Republicans know this....but they don't care.....after all....it IS all about punishing women, isn't it?
Quote:
The study indicated that about 20 million abortions that would be considered unsafe are performed each year and that 67,000 women die as a result of complications from those abortions, most in countries where abortion is illegal.
At what point are you going to control your own damned self to prevent needless abortions? At what point are you going to control your own damned self playing russian roulette with other peoples lives? Answer those questions, then we'll talk meaningfully about abortion. Until then, you're only using the issue as pretext to deflect your own guilt and malevolence towards my half of the species (children included). Opppsie you created another abortion!
Note that you attempted no answer.
That's because everyone knows abortion is murder...even it's greatest supporters.
OMG, we all know life begins at conception. We all know abortion is murder. Most of us are personally against it, because we have never faced a heinous situation which would allow us to justify it, but we do not want the government involved between a woman and her doctor in case we ever do face such a situation.
To those of you who are adamant.
Imagine that your 11 year old child was raped and impregnated by a morally and mentally defective man. Would you STILL be as adamant?
That is an extreme example and you know it. Most abortions don't occur under such circumstances.

AZ has completely gone off their rocker with their radical right wing agenda as of late.
AZ makes Saudi Arabia look like Amstserdam
