The US is not as pro-life as people here are. This is a way to lose national elections. If not Biden, next POTUS will probably get a SCOTUS nomination or more. This six-week ban, assuming RS is running for POTUS, seems like he is trying to imitate Lindsey Graham.

Babies’ lives should not be traded for any political thing that you want.Babies lives aren’t saved by losing elections to 100% pro-abortion candidates.

It will increse the number of early abortions, not decrease the number of abortions.
Early abortions might increase slightly, but the total number will certainly go down significantly.
To: Drew68
I haven’t seen those 50% pro abortion candidates yet.

short sited idea, but i think we should do things because they are right, not just to get elected.

I really don’t get the giddiness the left has over killing babies. Satan is obviously at work The left likes abortion because their policies always lead to misery and failure and they can distract from that misery and failure by bringing up abortion and making the election about that.
Also they can accuse the right with what they are. For example the left is anti-freedom but they can accuse the right of that because the right is taking your freedom to choose away.

I sincerely hope that this works out. Given womanhood’s obsession with abortion as a sacred rite, the next couple elections could turn Florida into Maryland.
Meanwhile, in related news, DeSantis’ campaign chest shrinks as all his Globohomo donors are suddenly nowhere to be found.

It’s just proof that it’s politics and not core foundational beliefs. I’ll give you 6 weeks to kill your baby. If it is an issue about life that seems quite unacceptable (but that’s not what it’s about). Imagine giving someone a 6 week window to rape your wife free of consequences.That is because you are a moralistic idiot.
Your morals are great, but when it comes to politics and winning, you are an idiot.
Shut up and let the real men get the job done.
I'm sick of you perfectionists. If this was a war and you could not defeat your enemy in a single battle, you would give up and wait until you could.
Real men take territory incrementally and push the enemy back until they concede or you have vanquished them. But it does not come easy.
Please continue to live in your pollyanna world of television where everything is wrapped up in a 30 minute episode.

Exactly. I really don’t understand it either. Like, in the case of it, surviving the abortion, what’s the harm in adoption?

The legislature gave him the choice of sign this restriction bill or not at all.

Real men don’t let anyone murder their daughters and sons in a six-week window of time or in any other period of time.

Wasn’t that the whole point of overturning Roe? The issue goes back to the states for the voters to decide.. Trump was never a Governor.

I think you are vastly overhyping the love for abortion. RATs don’t vote in huge numbers anymore. They sit home and the cheat machine does the voting for them.

So the science is in and life begins 6 weeks into a Pregnancy?
I agree it should be banned entirely, but a 6 week ban is still better than the status quo. I'm not going to complain about a step in the right direction.
