I'm just glad that a solution was found to that serious issue with the 10-year-old. Even so, we all know that others won't have the same luck if those POS get their way by moving towards unconditional abortion bans.

There is your prime candidate for this week's episode of The Walk of Shame.
Indeed. Just fecked up and bordering utter mental deficiency to even debate what should be a no-brainer (that it is NOT okay to force a raped kid to have a baby) in any other developed country.
It's utterly bizarre.
I just wrote a sarcastic joke and then deleted it. I just can’t. I use sarcasm and humor to deflect anger but I also have 10 and 8 yo nieces who mean the world to me. The thought of something happening to them enrages me to a point of misty red and the thought of some christian feck saying they should lose their life/future because of a mass of cells brings the mist back. Monsters, all of them.
We have our fair share of loons in portuguese politics. Your average climate change deniers, anti-vax alt-right, immigrants are bad type of folks, but I am 100% sure if any politician suggested a 10 year old rape victim should be forced to give birth, they would have to ride into the sunset lucky luke style, never to be heard of again. It would be their end in the public life.
What’s even worse is that the Southern Baptist church in this country had been pro-abortion until 1980. This zeal to be virulently anti-abortion in this country is basically due to a political shift in 1980.

I await the inevitable Supreme Court case clarifying that when they said abortion was a matter for the states, they actually meant a federal ban is totally fine.
This is a good interview covering the legal ambiguity: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-an...ch-federal-laws-upholding-or-banning-abortion
But pro-life! Life of the mother doesn't seem that important to conservatives.
Well similar laws did lead to death of an Indian woman in Ireland few years back so similar case would happen in one of these red states sooner or later.
I mentioned this before the Dobbs decision, but I reckon it will take thousands of deaths, not to mention even more thousands of close calls and women suffering from doctors not being able to be doctors, before anything changes for the positive. At least going from the English experience.
If the whole gun thing is something to go by, I'm not sure women dying by the thousands will be enough to change things.
It's going to take adult, white, evangelical males in positions of power dying by the 10's for this to happen.
At what point are the doctors at fault as well? Good grief, take a stand and remove the dead thing from the woman's body.
Sometimes you look at America and think, "they're just like us". We watch the same films, listen to the same music, speak the same language (or at least a close approximation of it). But Americans are not like us. It is fast becoming a very weird place and not one that is particularly desirable to live in.

Does it matter?
Here are some.
Those numbers are insane. Make no mistake, I am all for womens rights, but the numbers are high...
The costs are minimal compared to children being bought up in wrong environments, causing any number of issues further down the line for the kids or parents. In a lot of circumstances, getting an abortion is the responsible thing to do, so it’s funny you mention that word.
Do you think the unplanned pregnancies are from people who don’t understand contraception?You can multiply them by 10 and I don’t care.
Nor would I even if they are increased by a magnitude more.
