Abortion may be safe and legal, but I don't believe its moral. I can disagree with laws I feel to be unjust. While I wouldn't criminalize abortion if it were up to me (would happen anyway, in unsafe conditions), I have the right to personally object to it.

Safe and legal is all it needs to be.

Moral is in your heart. I can't ask you to be moral, I can't force you to be moral, and I can't legislate you to be moral...that is your choice, I defend your choice.

But having an unruly mob shut down the process is not fine.

I've also heard that they'll be hauling off the media for inciting a riot.
Yep, your fine LEOs in action already at the last session. I'ms sure you look forward to more of same! Those little old ladies sitting in their seats and minding their own business sure are a threat to democracy.

I agree that I have no right to judge and that everyone has free will to do as they choose, but at the same time I believe life is precious and should be protected. That being said, I see no reason we can't step in and stop someone from exercising their free will if the result will harm someone else. If I had the chance to trip a thief who snatched a purse and was running by, I can intervene to right a wrong. I know that I cannot stop abortion, but that doesn't mean I have to stand by and watch it happen unopposed. We should be taking steps towards making abortion truly a rare event rather than making it more accessible.

So is the Death Penalty. what's your point?

Just because a man-made law made it legal don't mean it makes sense or makes it morally right. It makes them morally bankrupt and the Abortiion clinic are just glorified slaughterhouses for human babies instead of baby cows.

If you believe so, the US Cosntitution says you and like minded americans can change the law. that is your right.

But to be clear...this bill/law will not change anything. Abortions will still be legal and safe.

If they make abortion too difficult what will these men do when all the women keep their legs crossed?

Frankly, I hope it passes. I shudder to think of people promoting abortion as the new contraception. Might as well do away with the BC Pill, Day After Pill and Rubbers then.

what say you?
Come on now. It's been 40 years..... Specifically who has ever advocated for abortion as the new contraception?
