Women in the 3rd trimester should not be allowed to get an abortion, when life can survive outside the womb it must be allowed to live. Rowe v Wade handled this situation correctly.
Preemies are less developed, have more risk of dying in infancy, and will probably always have some deficiency. They are viable with more hospital care, which many mothers can't afford. Do you want the government to pay for preemie care?
I would say abortion kills a human being, regardless of its stage of development.
I have mowed around several "sprouted acorns" in my front yard over the past ten years. Now, I have several oak trees. At what point do you judge that the sprout becomes a tree?
Talk about virtue signaling! So you saved some sprouted acorns to get a forest of oak trees in your yard. Yay for you.
How crazy is this...I hear many people say that 'religion' should not be used to create laws...(in regards to anti-abortion groups mainly being religious groups)...
But those same people have absolutely no problem with drug laws being based on 'religious beliefs'?! (belief that drugs are EVIL, of the devil, etc). LOL
I wonder how these people would feel about the federal govt going after people that practice witchcraft? LOL
Just as a note of interest, SCOTUS upheld the Constitutional Right to perform religious animal sacrifice even though it was illegal in Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah. Same thing happened in the Colorado baker case. SCOTUS upheld the baker's First Amendment Right to decline to create a specific wedding cake due to his religious beliefs, even though declining to do so violated CO law.
Like it or not, due to the US Constitution's First Amendment, religion absolutely does have an impact on laws. Amending the Constitution would be the only way to completely remove religion's impact on local, state, and federal laws.
given that it's pretty apparent that the fundamental motivation for most of the anti-choice crowd is more about punishing women for being sexually active, I'm sure they'd be just fine with banning contraception as well. Since with their fake world view that they mistakenly want to think is science, they can't really allow that either. But as long as they can pretend they have the authority to claim the right to control women and their bodies, they're good.
I am not against abortions remaining legal in the first trimester.
But it is rather curious how liberals don't seem to mind that the abortion rate for black women is 5 times that for white women. Nothing to see there, I guess.
