Ugh... breaking news I DID NOT want to see.

ETA: Reported on CNN.

Maybe if you looked at it as 60% of children that would have ended up in a dumpster or scientific testing will have a chance to live would make you feel better?

The State compelling a woman to carry a child to term is Orwellian regardless of the silver lining one tries to spin on it. Basing laws on a book which may very well be entirely fictional is also a bad idea.

If God exists then I'm sure He/She/They will sort of the evil transgressors, right? In the meantime, render unto Caesar.

 

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

I would still imagine that most poor people, those down on their luck, addicts or criminals would rather of had the chance to live than not.

But then... when they're born and alive and whatnot... forget about them because we can't be socialists!!!

 

[Farb]

no I am not. You have yet to provide a modicum of proof other than Jeebus as to why a zygote is a child.

Stop asking grown up questions if you don’t like grown up answers

What is a zygote?

If you make bad decision in life, chances are high your life will follow the path of those bad decisions.

The state compels people to not do all kind of things, murder included. So I am not following your logic.

You do. You're just being snarky. Which is what you do, so I totally get it.

If you make bad decision in life, chances are high your life will follow the path of those bad decisions.

Caring only about 'the sanctity of life' in the general sense but not actually caring about that life after it's out of the womb seems wildly inconsistent and screams of political-religious indoctrination. I wouldn't think Jesus would agree with that philosophy.

 

[V Chip]

you are talking about killing a child

Holy hyperbole, Farb.

It’s not killing a child, it is terminating a fetus. It’s the same thing that happens to more than half of all pregnancies naturally via miscarriage — many of which could be prevented if all pregnant mothers received free prenatal healthcare/counseling and vitamins/supplements, but there’s a certain group who is steadfastly against such things that nobody talks about very much when arguing about fetuses that get terminated.

See Kyle, it depends.

Have you noticed how the state's never going to go after Epstein and Maxwell's aristocratic johns who our legal system aided and abetted for decades? Or how we lionize vigilantes who support state sponsored violence against black folk? Logic has nothing to do with any of it.

Hasn't worked out that way for the spawn of concentrated wealth.

Oklahoma Considers Database For Pregnant People As Roe Hangs In The Balance

Conservative lawmakers have proposed a raft of extreme bills, which the governor has already promised to sign.

Database of women considering abortion? Yeah, Oklahoma GQP, you can go ahead and fork right off. Talk about Big Brother getting involved in your personal, medical history.

Ever heard of the Periods For Pence campaign while Pence was governor if Indiana?

Yup. Oklahoma women should start sending him their used tampons and pads in the mail and see how he it goes.

What is a zygote?

This is ridiculous.


It's so sad that I can't tell if he really doesn't know or if he's just trolling.


Or maybe he's just proving Republicans are anti-education and anti-science.

he's just trolling.

Gotta be.

Careful, you're bordering on abusive language there.

Yes, I believe in self agency just as your lord Jesus did as well, free will and all that nonsense.

A zygote is not human life, correct? Then what is it?
