"I'm incredibly bitter today. And disgusted. What the Supreme Court did today is nothing short of repugnant. I can't say that I'm exactly surprised that a group of conservative men chose to expand federal powers and sanction torture for women today by declaring the ban on late term abortions that President Bush signed in 1993 does not violate the Constitution.
No, not surprised that people who will never have any idea of what it means to be forced to choose between your own life or that of the fetus you're carrying would make such an emotional and irrational decision. None of these men will ever be forced to carry a fetus against their will. This decision will never impact them at all - all their wives, daughters, and mistresses are well off enough that they can fly to a more humane country if something unforeseen and awful happens during their pregnancies. It's the normal, every day women who will suffer. And what do they care? They got to make their point.
Does my life mean so little? Do the Supreme Court justices really think they have such vast medical expertise and personal knowledge of my health and personal life that they - not my doctor and not me - should be making my medical decisions? I realize that at the time the Constitution was written, women didn't really have any rights - but do they really think putting my health on the level of livestock is really the way to go?
Less than 2% of abortions occur after 21 weeks. Women do not run around getting knocked up willy nilly for the sheer pleasure of having invasive and painful surgeries, and they especially do not look forward to have to make a choice between getting chemo for cancer or sacrificing their lives for a healthy baby. Most men that I know do not want to face fatherhood alone - they do not want children enough to let their wives die for it. They do not look forward to the idea of letting the kid visit mommy in the graveyard.
It kills me - kills me - that pro-forced childbirth advocates are so happy about this! Do they think they've just saved countless lives? Do they honestly and truly think that this decision will stop late term abortions from happening? I know, I know, they don't give a rat's ass about the reality of the situation - just their f**ked up, rose-colored glasses worldview. "
(my edit on the swear word in the last sentence)
yes - the only goal is a dead baby.
If the goal was to save the life of the mother, what is wrong with ending the pregnancy by delivering the baby through inducement or c-section.
PBA certainly isn’t easy on the body. You still have to be induced with pitocin (evil stuff), you still have to have the baby manipulated to a breach position.
Actually...a natural head first birth would be much less traumatic on a sick mother.
This person is just an idiot... she doesn’t know the law, and doesn’t care.
Row only guaranteed an abortion in the 1st trimester, and that the state had a growing concern after that.
Its a horrible ruling, but that’s what it said. Row never granted abortion up to birth on demand for any reason.
This ruling did not strike down Row, not remotely.... It didn’t threaten womens health as partial birth abortion is about harvesting ORGANS, not saving women. Any woman who needs to be seperated from her child for medical reasons would never have a FORCED BREACH BIRTH to do so to save her life.. the trauma of such an event is far riskier to her heath than an emergency cesarian, which is what a doctor would do if they needed to save the womans life, NOT FORCE HER TO GO THROUGH AN INDUCED BREACH BIRTH!!! That places the mother in FAR FAR MORE PERIL!
The fact his, partial birth abortion is NEVER, EVER EVER medically indicated.... and those that try to say banning it puts women at risk are fools and/or liars.
You would think she would know that, as I am sure that many a folding chair has succumbed under her. Whether she farted or not before hand may not be necessarily relevant...
“Another beautiful feminist; both inside and out.”
LOL!!!
reminds of those awful Cho pictures in the news today.
“Because the Limit of Viability is now 23 weeks, the abortionists have to ensure that the first breath does not occur. That’s why the procedure includes turning the baby to breech position, so it can be killed before it’s mouth and nose are exposed to air.”
surely you jest!!
The ladies on the view this morning stated that no woman would go through this procedure unless it was absolutely necessary to save her life!
They wouldn’t deceive their female audience would they?
That’s why we call them feminazis.
“Seems pretty farfetched to think that doctors engaging in this ‘procedure’ have no clue about what evil they are really committing. But somehow some still manage to push themselves over that edge. Fascinating and sickening really does cover it, my brother.”
it ain’t your average doc that is willing to do this procedure.
Generally it is the reject who cannot make it in real medicine.
Financially motivated, a bit mental.
Kinda like that guy who had fetus parts in the frig alongside his lunch.
These aren’t the kinda guys who are too caught up in the minutae of sterilizing equipment...using clean sheets....
real winners they are.
I’m just amazed that the Commie Pork Beast is even worried about abortion. I mean some one would have to sleep with her first, and based on her picture, that ain’t happening anytime in the forseeable future. Much ado about nothing.
“Such as having to choose adoptive parents or buy large jars of mayonnaise at Costco. The horror. (sarc)”
LOL! OMG I remember that awful column!
What a degrading experience...bulk mayo.
My girl friend then takes another hanger, inserts it in ..........hangs a ......... on it.
I'm talking about closets and clothes... sure I am.
“You couldn’t drink her pretty...”
hee hee...never heard that one - gotta remember to share that one with hubby
Senior Bush 1988-1992
Bush Jr. 2000-2004 & 2004-to present.
Problem solved.
LOL — good one!
(But there’s no brain to be sucked out in this case...)
“You would think she would know that, as I am sure that many a folding chair has succumbed under her. Whether she farted or not before hand may not be necessarily relevant...”
my baby is looking at me funny right now because I’m laughing so hard and he’s bouncing.
I think someone oughta reach out to Rosie with your folding chair argument...she needs to relate to something she’s actually experienced.
notice the hyperbole?
It’s not “Baby-killing”, it’s “Forced Birth”
Don’t worry your little head there missy.
As soon as a man listens to you for 4.3 seconds, the odds of him staying long enough to impregnate you are pretty danged low.
Unless he is stupid, deaf or some combination of both.
Because if the baby comes out head first it might start breathing. PBA’s are 1st Degree Murder.
PBA was not even an issue till 1996.
