4:32 Nice, polite liberals like that are among the reasons I used to be against abortion.

I don't think it helps her cause to lie about the bill. Anti-abortionists can believe that fetuses are babies if they want to, of course (although, ironically, that's not biblical), and they are certainly free to refuse to have abortions if they don't want them. It's their compulsion to control the behavior of others, who don't believe as they do, that is the problem. They don't seem to recognize that, first and foremost, Christianity is supposed to be voluntary--not forced on people. No one appointed these folks to be the guardians of morality. Incidentally, the Arizona state rep who was interviewed has it exactly right: Republicans cynically courted votes from evangelicals by professing opposition to Roe v. Wade--never dreaming that it would ever actually be repealed. (The dog caught the car; now what?!) Now Republicans are hoist on their own petard: inextricably linked with a highly unpopular policy position. And non-evangelicals are not going to let them off the hook. Ha, and I found myself (surprisingly) agreeing with the anti-abortion "pastor:" the Supreme Court's decision to repeal Roe v. Wade and throw abortion back to the states was, indeed, cowardly. But that's a whole 'nother subject!

@@BenQ.-ys4kp, my understanding is that the Jews believe that life doesn't begin until actual birth (when the baby draws its first breath), and the Old Testament merely decrees fines for those who cause miscarriages. There is no mention of abortion int he New Testament. Lawmakers in the U.S. have no business passing laws based on any religious beliefs, since the government is not supposed to be officially sponsoring any given religion over others. (Murder can be prohibited without any appeal to religious beliefs.) But the question of whether or not the fetus deserves human rights is just a red herring. It doesn't matter whether the fetus is human or not, since no one has a right to commandeer the internal organs of another human being, for any reason, without their explicit consent. For example, a person can't demand a kidney from someone else just because they may need it. Thus, if a woman doesn't want a fetus in her uterus, then out it goes, whether it's a human being or not.

@@BenQ.-ys4kp Yes, to most people that is a SIMPLE ‘moral’ argument. Nevermind the fact that a first trimester abortion is 10-14 times less deadly than carrying a pregnancy to term and childbirth for women. Since no woman knows beforehand if a pregnancy will kill her, damage major organs or have extreme complications, why shouldn’t she have the right to protect her own life and wellbeing? Women, the human that’s not only sentient, capable of suffering, may have health or personal reasons for not wanting to gestate a pregnancy to term, whose body you want the state to enforce YOUR simplistic logic of what a ‘human being’ actually means. You are ignoring the fact that without a woman’s body carrying then embryo/early fetus to term, it would not survive outside of her. ‘Homicide’ or ‘murder’ of a human being is generally agreed to be an act against another person’s wishes. Abortion care is a medical/health decision about your OWN BODY. Or let me put it another way - if you believe that there’s a ‘human being’ at the beginning of pregnancy, then remove that early product of conception at 6-13 weeks of pregnancy (when most elective abortions occur). What’s the problem? Why do you even need women’s bodies if there’s a “human being” already present at the beginning of pregnancy? I usually wonder when people (mostly men) make this ridiculous statement equating abortion care to ‘murder’. Are you also aware of the many dangerous of pregnancy, have you ever read any books on the topic? Do you understand how and WHICH women suffer and have been prosecuted under abortion bans in the past/other nations or even if you understand how women with wanted pregnancies suffer under bans and why? It’s such a shame men such as yourself make SIMPLE statements like this “abortion murder’. I usually just respond with “abortion healthcare’. It’s obvious you’re just parroting a simplistic and demonizing view of the issue.

They’ve convinced themselves they’ve turned from segregationists to so-called ‘abolitionists’. This is powerful, disgusting propaganda, horrifically demeaning to women and of course, to those who were enslaved.
