What? You think rapists use condoms? Or you don't think rape really happens?

What is your plan to completely stop all birth defects? Let me guess, you think taxes will do the trick.

Yes, for many women travel to another state IS impossible.
I’m guessing you think it would be those dark skinned people who are also incapable of getting an ID.

Liberal white women to the rescue of the helpless minorities.

Is this a real question?
So, the two viable ones were an issue that had to be aborted?

Wow.

You REALLY need to stop putting words in people's mouths.

I NEVER (repeat NEVER) said a thing about stopping ALL birth defects.

What I DID say was investing more money into research and development can HELP families and people with disabilities. I ALSO SAID that ensuring that every single last person has access to QUALITY, AFFORDABLE healthcare REGARDLESS of income and employment status could go a long way in decreasing the abortion rates AND making sure we have a healthier population all around.

Seriously...if you are unable to address what I ACTUALLY SAID instead of MAKING STUFF UP, stop responding to me.

What?

Actually no. The women I was thinking of were poor white conservative women in places like Arkansas and Texas who would have no way of getting to another state to access abortions.

You do a LOT of erroneous assuming.

Keep making up your definitions. You're wrong. You're wrong in the eyes of the law. You're wrong in the eyes of major health organizations. You're even wrong in some religious circles.

You're wrong.

Two children.

Group 3 is just as radical as group 1.

I’m a group 2 guy.
Group 2 is the law, thats Roe vs Wade. The only time pro-choice activist complain about the current law is when states try to restrict it, like putting absurd medical facility requirements, or make you watch videos saying you are killing a baby. This whole third trimester abortions are already under medical necessity only, so if you find a doctor that does it becasue you dont like the sex of the baby, fine, then you can take him to the medical board under unethical behavior or press charges accordingly. its no different than a doctor doing a hundred other unethical or illegal things, why does legalizing the first trimester increase the risk of that?

They aren't.
I'm not sure anyone made that claim or that it is relevant to the topic at hand.

Then there was really no need to discuss them was there?
