I thought New York's new law only allows late abortions if the baby isn't viable or it's necessary for the pregnant woman's health? I'm anti-abortion but I still think those are circumstances where abortions need to be allowed... It's not reasonable to require women to carry babies that won't survive to term, nor to require people to choose the baby's life over the mother's.
Barrett or no Barrett, I will be surprised if the SCOTUS overturns Roe. I remember distinctly during the 2000 presidential election, a big stink was made about abortion being banned by W. Bush. It didn't happen, and that is almost 20 years ago now.
You so-called pro-lifers crack me up. Really want to be pro-life?
How about funding health care for all?
How about regulating firearms?
How about calling for more funding of education?
How about NOT watering down environmental regulations?
Seems like ya'll think life begins at conception....and ends at birth, given the attention you devote to a fetus, and little to people once they enter the world.
And the pro-“choice” crowd (of which I am part) doesn’t want people to have any choices in life- they want government to micromanage everyone. Even though people made their choice in sleeping around.
Here's the thing. You leftwingers view everything as a political calculation. We conservatives do not view abortion that way. We want it made illegal because it is the absolute RIGHT thing to do. Although I think it's also a great move politically, that is irrelevant.
If you think that what you propose would be a good move politically, you have revealed how foolish and separated from reality you are. There's no successful politician of any stripe, above a localized level in a flyover state, who would dare support the cancellation of the provisions of Roe vs. Wade. It would be political suicide, just as much as trying to eliminate Social Security. And an important concept seems to have escaped you, that you and your tiny minority of would-be moral dictators are not the ones who get to decide what is right for everyone.
