If so-called ‘pro’ life people actually wanted fewer abortions, they would push birth control as much as possible.
They do not want fewer abortions.
.
What they want is to punish Sinners — especially women Sinners.
Force them women Sinners to carry their baby full term, even if the baby is born dead or it kills the mother. Once the baby is born, the mother is responsible for it until adulthood. Don’t ask for no govt. help. You shouldn’t have Sinned.
You want to say that they are practicing embryocide, go for it. But don’t make it sound like they are killing babies. Get your lies together. If you can’t work hard enough to save the embryos without calling them infants, you’re just another lazy hack.
Gee, Mr. Gorrell, isn’t that exactly the same argument used by those who want to end animal use in developing new drugs? That animals feel? And isn’t it the same argument used by vegans about ending the eating of meat?
Are you a vegan or a member of PETA? Or are you just a hypocrite?
Who is the criminal in an abortion? Who do you want to put in jail?There is a difference between sin and crime. We do not want to make laws that create criminals. Our drug laws do that and have a terrible cost to society. Prohibition did that and society realized the terrible cost.Recognize sin for what it is and counsel people what ethics are. Don’t create criminals.

So, how many of you people worried about post 20 week abortions will trade this law in exchange for funding increased access to birth control & early abortions?
Serious question. I want you folks to explain in your own words.
1. The average length of human gestation is 280 days, or 40 weeks, from the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period. That’s 40 weeks, not 20 weeks.
2. Infanticide definition: The killing of a child within one year of birth. A key word is birth. Infanticide is only possible if the infant has been born.
Typical right wing BS. There had to be a bunch of objectionable things in the bill for Planned Parenthood to oppose it. The twenty week abortion clause was included so Republicans could say that Planned Parenthood wants to kill babies. The GOP has no shame.
The argument that abortion is killing a person is an example of the fallacy known as petitio principii, or begging the question (though that term is now most often used with a different meaning). In petitio principii, you build the conclusion into the premise of the argument. Here, the anti-abortion position assumes that a fetus is a person, and then argues that since killing a person is wrong, killing a fetus is wrong. But I don’t agree that a fetus is a person. If a man and a pregnant woman are in a room, I would say that there are two people in the room, one of whom is pregnant. A pregnant woman doesn’t have to pay for two tickets to see a movie. First you have to convince me that a fetus is a person, but if you don’t bother to do that, then your argument is not persuasive.

The notion that a fetus can feel pain is what is bullshit. And abortion is NOT INFANTICIDE. there is NO infant involved. Get your facts straight. idiot.
While medicine has improved to save some fetuses at 20 weeks, but it is still not common. Medical science also tells us that fetuses do NOT feel pain at 20 weeks because their nervous system is not developed enough until the third trimester.

The GOP won’t pass a clean Dream Act, translation the Republicans support tearing families apart. Federal courts have defined critical legal rights for women, translation the Republicans want women to have to suffer dangerous healthcare. Republicans proposed legislation to stop abortion after 20 weeks, translation even in control of every branch of government, the GOP can not legislate, lead or get out of it’s own way.
It sure is fun to make up what things mean isn’t it? The Nunes memo was released – translation, the Republicans are liars.

We all know the only abortions after 20 weeks are to save the life of the mother when the fetus has become non-viable so STFU.

Yes, we have to be concerned with the pain felt by the fetus. The pain felt by the woman doesn’t matter.

Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one. Don’t have a womb? Then STFU.

Some facts:
