Bolded makes no logical sense. If you truly find an argument against your position to be compelling then you would be compelled change your position. This is the nature of a rational decision maker. Your last sentence is either gaslighting or irrational - there is no third option.
Going to just rehash this here as my position has not and will not ever change. The bolded line is especially important to me.
I think that the point you make about it being the most dangerous thing the average woman will do in her life is not taken with the gravity it deserves by the anti-abortion side. They literally want to legislate that a woman should be forced to go through the most dangerous 9 months of her life against her will.
Not just the 9 months either. You can get heart disease, thyroid disease, psychiatric conditions post partum as well. Postpartum cardiac disease in particular can end up being disastrous, as I have seen.
Conservatives love the fetus, but hate the baby & the woman.
The world is just people going into rooms and saying things
The World is run by a*holes. Racist sexist bigoted a*holes.
I'm amazed that the country doesn't just split up in two and go their merry ways. You got one half who believes in gun-laws, some sort of medical security for all, freedom of sexuality, women's rights, a side that believes in science and working towards a better world. And then you got the others... Which I would place somewhere between the Taliban and Saudi- Arabia.
The answer to this is, they can't afford it. Most of these states are net takers. Floridas bumper budget bill was part funded by over $3B covid relief fund, but you won't hear Desantis talking about that.
Most of which states are net-takers? Don't tell me the more liberal states are funding these lunatics.
They're pro-birth. That's it. They don't give one single shit about the quality of life of the person once they're out of the womb.
Red states.
Is there time for Biden to stick up the middle finger and simply expand the Court with another 5 justices? - Id guess he would have to do this before the mid terms (looking at polling)
Pro White people having birth, surely?
All states are net takers, but how much they take per capita is the difference. This dashboard is a good way to look at it. The lower the number the lower the difference between what is paid and what is paid out. It's not as simple as "only the red states" as Virginia is the "worst" and Texas is the 7th best, but in general the red states are worse.
Thanks I'll give it a read
There's definitely a rabbit hole to be gone down regarding non-white birth rates, law and policing trends, and the profitization of the US prison system.
He can't even gather a majority to end the filibuster. He doesn't have a prayer of expanding the court.
Exactly this. It's more of a power play.
There's a large number of children in America who are suffering due to homelessness, abuse, sex trafficking etc and where is the outrage to save those lives? If you care so much about children why not help the ones that are suffering daily?
Like most posters in this thread are pointing out, it's all about control. It's just blatant abuse of power. If they are so concerned about saving lives, what about the lives of the women who will definitely die due to some backroom abortion? There will be an increase in illegal abortion clinics that will charge extravagant amounts of money with no concern for the lives of those women. People will be exploited and left to die. Guess those lives are expendable in their attempt to "do what is morally right"

Saw that earlier. I thought she was quite restrained considering.

This is a big brother type invasion of civil liberties. Surely, this couldn't fly over there?
Civil liberties? Have you seen us?
Our recent history suggests otherwise.
