He’s right.
Religious folks are good people, but our state laws should not be dictated to us by any religion. It’s a legal argument, and there are many differing views. Last time I saw a poll, most votors favor a ban after around 20 weeks. I’m good with that.
But The Pill is murder? Yeah, no. That’s your religion talking. And I’m not a fan.
In FL, they went too far. It was 16, I favored 20 weeks, but ok. But 6 weeks?!? It’s true, there will be plenty of women who are banned from abortion before they even know they are pregnant. Think they’ll vote for a republican again, ever? Nope. And now, because of it, there will be a constitutional amendment on the ballot to keep abortion legal way beyond 6 weeks.
And it will easily pass, and cause record D turnout, and plenty of Rs will lose their seats. We may end up with a friken Democrat governor.
Becase a group of religious #&$@?!! decided God told them to.
Twenty weeks would be 5 months. That’s a baby.
The 6-week mark was picked because the embryo has a beating heart by that point. I saw one of my babies on ultrasound at 7 weeks. He had arms and legs and a beating heart.
With that said, I agree that Republican rhetoric on this issue is costing us votes. GOP candidates should frame the argument differently (see my post #224 above).
The GOP has used Pro Life folks since Roe but the GOP was at its core never Pro Life it was just a way for the self-serving politicians to get elected. I will no longer vote in the Federal elections as I don’t like being lied to...
