On a practical note, I knew it would be overturned eventually because the left never stops. However, I didn’t expect 2 Republicans to side with the Democrats to overturn it, one of whom is my state senator. That’s the icing on the cake for me.
“The media claims it hinders medical care for pregnant women, which is a lie that you apparently believe.”
You are wrong. The 1864 ban on abortion: “And every person who shall administer or cause to be administered or taken, any medicinal substances, or shall use or cause to be used any instruments whatever, with the intention to procure the miscarriage of any woman then being with child, and shall be thereof duly convicted, shall be punished by imprisonment in the Territorial prison for a term not less than two years nor more than five years: Provided, that no physician shall be affected by the last clause of this section, who in the discharge of his professional duties deems it necessary to produce the miscarriage of any woman in order to save her life.”
So anything short of saving the mother’s LIFE was banned, with prison sentences for the doctor. It went beyond “elective abortions”.
You also seem to entirely miss my point: In a democracy - or representative government - the laws cannot exceed what the people are willing to accept.
Furthermore, CIVIL law requires compromises that aren’t a part of morality, which is why the Law of Moses allowed for divorce - even though God hates divorce.
So my point is that since the overwhelming majority of Arizonans believe SOME abortions should be allowed, insisting on a total ban will result in Arizona voting to remove most or all restrictions! That is what the democrats want.
In politics, COMPROMISE is required. You cannot force others to abide by YOUR moral beliefs without FIRST convincing them!
