Yeah, for real, and Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina --- my short list of states that I would never move to. They love the backwards ways and call it righteousness at the end of a gun barrel. Sickening, frankly. "We're so pro life, we will put women to death for family planning." I wish they would just move to Saudi Arabia, for goodness sake.
???? I wonder what you have against contraception, given that you don’t like abortion.
Seems to me that a rational person who truly hated abortion would support contraception for anyone who wants it, and would support making sure that everyone understood how contraception works.
Hmmm. Maybe YOU don’t understand how contraception works?
Hmmmm maybe you do not understand sex before marriage and killing the unborn.
Hmmmm maybe you do not understand sex before marriage and killing the unborn.
So do I understand you want to support passing a law making it a felony to have sexual intercourse outside of marriage to help stop abortion? If so, should it apply to both sexes, or just females?
Isn't that what you are promoting for women? Once we become pregnant we no longer have body autonomy, we lose our rights and become the property of the state?.....a means to an end as an incubator above all else?
"Property of the state"? Isn't that *gasp* socialism?
You cannot have it both ways. If government telling a woman what she can do with her body, pregnant or not, curtails that woman's personal autonomy and freedom, then the woman's body must belong to the state; and therefore, what she does with her body is not hers to decide; rather, it is up to the state to decide what is best for her: in another word that is used by so many here when it comes to the state interfering in patient-physician health care, socialism.
Maybe I'm not understanding the debate. I'm seeing it as, "Government should stay out of health care until it comes to abortion, in which case, government should take all measures to dictate a woman's personal health care choices, taking personal and professional autonomy away from the woman, her physician, and the woman's partner."
One must understand that during every session of the Texas legislature (they meet every two years), we have a multitude of nutty bills introduced. For the most part, as in this case, it is done to 1) get their name in the news; and 2) to raise money.
As noted earlier, this bill quickly lost sponsors (whom had not read it, apparently, before signing on), and will not even make it out of committee.
However, the person that introduced the bill is, more than likely, not upset, for he has achieved his goal.
