So, it takes one person to create life according to you, right?

Baby killers are such angry people.

My my, gentlemen. Your attitudes are duly noted. As Gloria Steinem once observed, "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." Do you really think that your scintillating observations along with all the other other BS from the Republican party will be forgotten come midterms? Don't count on it.

And as for states, you can start with the state of Texas.

I think it depends a lot on imaging technology, which has gotten better. Now we can all see the cute little babies only weeks after conception. So I get that. But a reasonable line has to be drawn. And the moment of conception is NOT it. A fertilized egg is NOT a baby. It just IS NOT.

Tell me WHY this is ok, if you think so. I agree with conservatives on a lot of things, but NOT THIS. I understand why abortion should be restricted, but NOT THE PILLS DAMMIT.

It won't affect my life because I'm too old to get pregnant. But it really makes me mad. It makes it so much harder to hate the Democrats, now that the Republicans are proving to be just as bad.

Men should not be allowed to say anything at all about abortion. Only women, whether they are for or against, should be allowed to make these laws.

I am not a feminist, and never was. But you know what, these abortion bans will just ignite a new and angrier feminist movement. And I am glad. Women have to fight this madness.

They are making the goddam PILLS illegal in some states. An abortion pill DOES NOT KILL A BABY. Just stop, it does not kill a baby.
I could not agree more, especially after reading the ignorant and rude comments made by some of the male members here.

I am a feminist and I am proud to be one. As you can see from the replies in this thread, the only people we can count on to help overturn this obscene decision made by the so-called Supreme Court are other women. I am going to fight this one for all I am worth.

I have been reliably informed that men can get pregnant and menstruate, too.

There are no little babies being seen weeks after conception though. It's an embryo no bigger than your thump nail.

I am sure a lot of women will feel the same. The Republicans will lose a lot of conservative women over it. I can't imagine myself getting involved in fighting it, because I have so very little in common with most progressives and most feminists. But I will be hoping they can find a way to get men the heck out of the whole abortion debate.

Yes, and that is why we no longer call our mothers "mother." We now call them our Birth Parents.

I was being facetious but my point was based in reality. Often, it matters not what something does but what everyone thinks it does or is willing to believe it does. So calling something an "abortion" pill means killing a baby Noming something a "contraception" pill means preventing a fertilized egg. It matters not the truth. Most people are too lazy to actually learn what things are and what they do and go by how it sounds.

I have no doubt that had they named it the "prevention pill", and not used the inflammatory word "abortion", most of these states wouldn't be under pressure to ban it. Right or wrong. Even as it is not mis-named, since I understand you can use it anytime before 10 weeks, which truly is an "abortion".

Buy my point is, had they marketed it as a "contraceptive", many states would probably not bother looking into it.

Just human nature.

At 8 weeks it's already starting to look sort of like a baby, with little fingers and toes, and a sort of ET looking face.

I assume you are in Colorado. Nothing changes for you.
