Get off Roe, literally the world is on the side of Roe. Even religious Europe is on this side. I have no issue going to the 22-24 week limit. That is where near all other countries are.

I was simply pointing out the fallacy of the argument that since the SCOTUS has said abortion is OK, it can never be reconsidered.

On a somewhat lighter side of this argument after reading several posts (if there is one). When I quickly read this opinion, I missed the comma between “Get off Roe, literally.” I said to myself, that would have completely changed this discussion!

Germany and I lived there. What is your experience?

Your anecdotal evidence is trumped by objective evidence. You must have lived near a cult.

But don’t just take my word for it.

Third paragraph of this article for good measure.

Religiously brainwashed men do seem to be the overwhelming majority of politicians who want abortion banned. Specifically, white, Republican males in Congress or state legislatures. How about if we let women make these type of decisions since they are the ones who actually have to carry a child to term? Men making medical decisions for women is ridiculous. Pure male ego...

Or here's a crazy thought...(speaking of consensual sex only here) that woman decided to have sex, and there are consequences to doing so...she already made a choice. Maybe take some personal responsibility instead of committing murder...crazy thought!

By forcing a woman to go through with an unwanted pregnancy, you are absolutely giving the fetus more rights by denying the woman the right to make her own choices about a pregnancy happening in her own body. This type of religious fundamentalism is a pox on humanity.

Sorry you have such a problem with religion. Pretty typical of a leftie though....so tolerant of people as long as they agree with them.

Regardless, my view is the woman had a choice (consensual situations) when she had sex, which comes with consequences. She doesnt now get to commit murder because it's her body.

If you're so concerned with murder, then I hope you're pro-gun control and against the death penalty. Once the baby is born, conservatives seem to have a hard time doing anything of substance to prevent murders to living and breathing human beings. I just get tired of religious people hiding behind abortion and claiming moral high ground when the majority of the rest of their party's platform is the antithesis of everything their savior taught.

I'm concerned with murder of an innocent living thing that doesnt get to make choices yet. I'm for the death penalty...again personal responsibility..you decide to commit a bunch of murders, rapes etc...you should die, mostly so there isnt a chance of you escaping and committing more murders.

Gun control? I think people should be allowed to have guns if they want them, (but I do believe there needs to be serious revamping of background checks and enforce them)whether it is for protection or hunting. Criminals dont follow rules, neither do people with mental health issues...control it all you want, people will find a way. You of all people should realize that considering Chicago at some of the toughest gun laws in the country..yet, the Southside.

Guess where they get their guns? Indiana, Mississippi and other states and counties that have lax gun laws.
