Some Days I Just Get So Tired Of This Nonsense


BOHICA.

Georgia legislator, undeterred by South Dakota's rejection of the criminalization of abortion, attempts to criminalize abortion. As the Mad Melancholic Feminista explains, he, of course, bases his bill on lies.

This was to be expected when (thanks, Democrats!) Roberts and Alito were confirmed. Everyone knew that they plan to overturn Roe, despite the insulting lie that they hadn't made their minds up. The whack-job fundies in SD and Georgia don't seem too worried, do they?

Does anyone EVER stop to consider what this nonsense costs? I'd love to see a study of what it cost South Dakota to go through its recent experience. In the end, abortions weren't prevented, but money that could have gone for good schools, for cleaning up the environment, for police and fire departments, or for prenatal care for poor women, went, instead, down a black hole. How is the state better off as a result of the whack-jobs in the legislature passing their idiot bill? How is Georgia going to be better off?

It's the real problem of dealing with people who operate in a faith-based world. The fact that abortion DOES NOT cause breast cancer doesn't stop them from continuing to assert that it does. The fact that SD rejected criminalization of abortion doesn't stop whack-jobs in Georgia from proposing the same thing. I don't know what to do about people like this. They refuse to learn from their mistakes.

I'm 98% pro-life and 2% pro-choice, though the 2% didn't come easy.

World estimations of the number of terminations carried out each year is somewhere between 20 and 88 million.(likely 55 to 60)

Over 3,500 per day / Over 1.3 million per year in America alone.

50% of that 1.3 million claimed failed birth control was to blame.

A further 48% had failed to use any birth control at all.

And 2% had medical reasons.

That means a staggering 98% may have been avoided had an effective birth control been used.


Australia (with a population of 20 million) terminated over 100 thousand young people last year. I've done the figures and Australia do more per head.


Abortion has got to be by far the Mother of all holocausts, the most extensive crime against humanity the world has ever seen.

Though it pains me to say it , there may always be a need for the 2% medical reasons and such, but that's all.

So how do we get the other 98% to be responsible...................

How do we get them to be honest with themselves, about when life begins.

egg+sperm = human being

Sadly many prefer to have an occasional abortion over using birth control, they have all kinds of reasons, each of them selfish.

Then there's the christian impossition,(all a bit talibanish), and their men in high places.(church and state should never entwine) their stance against b/c has only added to the numbers.

Sanity must provale, abortions should remain available and safe to the 2% and such and the rest need to have a good look at themselves and get their act together.


I'd like to see effective birth control made available to all who can't afford it.


People have to stop using abortion as birth control.....




If you think the point of conception is NOT when life begins, and all you have is a clump of cells and not a living human being.
Then at least concider this -

Soon after you were conceived you were no more than a clump of cells.
This clump of cells was you at your earliest stage, you had plenty of growing to do but this clump of cells was you none the less. Think about it.
Aren't you glad you were left unhindered to develope further.
Safe inside your mother's womb until you were born.

aus sounds so reasonable. Unfortunately it all falls apart when deciding who may and who may not have an abortion. The 52 year old woman who thought she was finished with menopause, but oops, there was one egg left. The 22 y.o. who was date raped and has no memory. How about the 33 y.o. who already has five kids and her husband raped her and uses the kids and pregnancy to assert control.

Sorry, the only sane and fair way is to leave the choice to the woman and her care provider. Ideally, the father should be consulted, but that's the ideal and again it must be left to the woman, who after all bears the pregnancy, to decide. Certainly it is of concern to a bunch of old men.

What, is 2% pro-choice like being a little bit pregnant?

Slippery slope. An acorn is not an oak tree.

I was a twin, Mom had a miscarriage and fortunately was naive enough not to go see a doctor, who most likely would've scrape my little blob of cells out of her nice, comfy womb. Oh well. Like I would've known.

You might as well be honest about it and ask "how do we use the government to make them adopt my religious convictions." The answer is, you don't. Thanks for playing.

Sad pro lifers empathize so well with fetuses and so little with women. but then they have never had fetus to work for or raise them worry and yell at them interferring in their hopes and dreams. Oh the woman around them were fetuses but they are now well past the expiration date for empathy and sympathy. They are non fetuses and their lives are not sacred and they aren't allowed mistakes. Too bad I see through your kind concern like Hitlers ban on Animal testing your concern about the sanctity of life is a sham.
