Vermont passes bill to enshrine unlimited, unrestricted abortion until birth
Lifesite news ^ | February 22, 2019

MONTPELIER, February 22, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Vermont’s Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass a bill many pro-lifers are calling the most extreme of its kind, as it leaves elective abortion virtually unregulated through all nine months of pregnancy. Last month, more than 90 House members cosponsored legislation to codify a “fundamental right” to “have an abortion,” like several other states moving to ensure abortion remains legal regardless of a future Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

“No State or local law enforcement shall prosecute any individual for inducing, performing, or attempting to induce or perform the individual’s own abortion,” it says, as well as prohibiting any “public entity” from restricting any sort of benefits or services on the basis of an individual’s decision to have or a medical worker’s decision to commit an abortion. The language suggesting there be no prosecution for do-it-yourself abortions raises questions about whether there would be adequate legal protections against infanticide in Vermont.

Abortion is simply the new eugenics.

I particularly like the idea that “individuals”, not women have an absolute right to an abortion. Can’t discriminate against pregnant individuals who identify as men! I realize that one must ignore many realities to be left-wing, but at some point it slips over into downright insanity.

We ought to find a young Christian couple claiming to want an abortion because they think he’ll be gay. Then wammo!! the left might be pro-life.

California would divide east/west. Coastal counties from LA to Marin booted out.

Next will be abortion of old people.

And that'll be the last earthly thing many of those attempting it will do.

I am sure that the nominal Catholic, Leahy, fully supports this. And the nominal Catholic bishop and priests will excommunicate no one. And the nominal Catholic Pope will do nothing either.

Proposed New Mexico legislation goes further removing current provisions in NM law that ensure medical providers can avoid participating in an abortion as a matter of conscience.

So at what age will it be considered murder instead of a late term abortion? I am currently in the 148th trimester, is that to late to abort me?

Do these people never think about where all this is going?

No.. The problem is they don't think.. they feel.

Title 10 of the Federal Code was just passed

https://www.hhs.gov/opa/sites/default/files/title-x-notice-of-final-rule.pdf

Follow the MONEY...
In short, “none of the funds appropriated for Title X may be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning and related statutory requirements. “

All these states passing horrific Infanticide “laws” at the same time they are passing “laws” that take away 2nd Amendment rights is not a coincidence. It is coordinated.

You wrote "No.. The problem is they don't think.. they feel."

There is an EXCELLENT article on American Thinker today on that exact topic that I highly recommend. If you have a few minutes, I think you'd enjoy it. See Democratic and Republican Résumé-Enhancers by Mark Deutschle. Here are a couple of key paragraphs...

It is clear that the right and left prefer radically different résumés for their leaders. They also prefer different styles of communication. Politicians use softly spoken magic words to appeal to voters, and it's evident that the Left and right prefer radically different prose. What's magic for the Left is words that make them feel good, words that say to a leftist that you are important because you are part of a group that is so much smarter and more righteous than the other side, that you are good and classy because the side you have chosen is against hate and racism.

The right has a different set of magic words, oriented toward implementing solutions to specific problems, so its voters tend to be favorably inclined toward leaders who have already accomplished great things. America faces great problems, and those on the right would like to empower leaders offering solutions that have already been tried and proven to work.

Simply put, the right wants to make life better for its kids and grandkids, while today's Left wants to be the boss of America, which leftists hope to achieve through making the government ever larger so it can intrude into more and more of the average person's life. The Green New Deal is the Democrat's shiny new toy, which expands government so much that it will surely bankrupt our nation. Yet over 70 Democrats in Congress are already offering their public support for the GND. Have they learned nothing from Obama's tremendous expansion of government, which led to a near doubling of our national debt in just eight years? If the expansion of government and debt is left unchecked, eventually, America will collapse due to insolvency.

It’s an old saw from the Left. I don’t care what they call me. I’ll call them pro-death.

Formerly “The Green Mountain State”, they have now adopted the new motto of the “We Worship Moloch State”.
