"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)
That's not at all accurate, is it?
I have heard that one before :)
Does your child's?
Prayers for the unborn.
Fits, doesn’t it?
Simple. Less girls in the world.
Or is it possible that the lesbo lifestyle does not make you a happy camper?.....nahhhhhhh
She looks bitter and is disgusting.
The claim will be that vague definition of PBA actually covers in-utero procedures as well. I’m sure you can find a medical need to abort a fetus/baby in the 6th/7th month.
ROFL!
Hey, SHE gets to engage in hyperbole, why can't I?
Looking at her widely spaced bovine eyes, I'd have to say "Yes. Yes it is the way to go.", but I'd have to see her from behind to be sure....
Hey natalie, when do he Dixie Chicks go back on tour again?
What color is the sky in her world? Doesn’t she know that it’s now murder if a mother kills her baby on purpose while she is giving birth? What a Whack Job. Talk about a blood thirsty wench?
Consequently, ABC was talking about this ruling preserving the “constitutional” ban on late birth abortions. I was beside myself at the ignorance.
1. There is nothing in the constitution about abortion
2. By SCOTUS ruling, abortion was allowed under “privacy” rights referred to in the Constitution (bad ruling via privacy facade anyway).
3. There is already SCOTUS out there that recognizes a late term “fetus” as the subject of a murder, either by intent, negligence, etc. In other words, when a mother is murdered, states have already recognized the death of the baby as murder, especially when the pregnancy was a motive in the crime.
4. The issue at stake in this specific charade was not the “constitutional rights” of the mother. It was “protection” of the baby.
Still her, disgusting argument is for the sympathy of the mothers that she says now will run to back allies and be “forced” to violently jamb wire hangers into themselves to kill a baby that they do not want.
Wasn’t the original argument about the rare health risks that a mother might have actually delivering a healthy baby?
My how our true colors show in times of desperation.
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
One might try to say she's ill-informed, but she's more than likely just lying.
I don’t think she has to worry about a bunch of guys hitting that.
