      For starters, AMERICA doesn’t want this. The majority of the country wants abortion to be legal. What it really is is conservatives being able to control us through bizarre processes (like how the supreme court is appointed) that make it so they maintain control.
      But I’ve also really wondered, why? Pretty much every decision like this that seems to hurt people comes back to money, but I can’t quite find how that’s the case with this. But then just days after their ruling on roe v wade was released, there was another ruling that effectively disallows the EPA (environmental protection agency) from protecting dumping in waterways. Basically they handed that right to regulation back to the states as well. Now I see where the money is in THAT, yet no one was talking about it. It seems like they came up with a very detrimental distraction.

    I am 72 years old. I graduated from high school and entered college while I was married. I got the opportunity to work for Pacific Bell TWICE, but never did. Each time a woman applied for a job at this company, she also had a pregnancy test. Both times, I was pregnant. I was devastated. The doctor said something that I never thought about. He said, "Now don't go off and do something stupid. You keep that baby."
    I had 9 pregnancies with the same husband. I have 7 living children. It turned out that I am RH - and I never took Rhogham. My husband was heterozygous. My last child sensitized me. I had one miscarriage and one still birth.
    But, I can imagine MANY women who may have sought an abortion to get that job. Plus they gave you the pregnancy test AFTER you passed the regular test. And, of course, men didn't have this physical test.
    Having an abortion is a very hard decision no one else can understand. Each situation is different and either way, the memory is with that person forever. These women need love and support. If it is a race thing for European women to have more babies, talk about it, the whole country will encourage it. But don't force women to do what men want and don't treat women like children who can't make an intelligent decision, no matter how hard it is.

I said that is discrimination and the interviewer said yes I know but that's what my boss told me to do. I don't have the means to hire a lawyer to pursue a lawsuit. So basically it doesn't matter. That company can discriminate until someone can afford and prove that it happened. My current employer hired their first minority.....you'd think management burnt the place down.....the old white people were so upset.....the younger ones didn't even notice. So that is great that there are laws but they don't actually apply to everyone.

    What most people don't get: this isn't just about whether you are pro or against Abortions. It's also about who gets to decide. I want to decide what is right for my body, future and surcumstances, not what others or a few people in a government dictate. If I am the one to get pregnant, I should be the one to make that choice. And the past proves, even if abortions are made illegal, they are happening anyway. They are just more dangerous and inexessible.

      Mina, ignore the assholes. You are a beautiful woman and your sentiments perfectly convey how I and many other women feel. I had my abortion 21 years ago. I was 17 days pregnant and it was the most crucial, important, best choice I’ve ever made in my lifetime. It was not easy. I did not take it lightly. It was painful and scary. I was on my own and afraid to talk to anyone about it. The amazing people at the clinic were such a support, and they gave me all of the information and never tried to persuade me one way or the other. I knew what I wanted and needed to do. They were kind and supportive. This was in Tennessee, and it pains me to know that girls and women in Tennessee now have no access in their entire state. They’d have to travel to Illinois or possibly North Carolina. It’s awful.
      I just want you to know that you matter and if you should ever be faced with an unwanted pregnancy, there are many women like me who would love and support you in any way we can.

    Loved Dirty Dancing and I remember the abortion storyline and class stratification well. It's frustrating today because I have heard too many forced-birth advocates saying, "just don't have sex." What about couples who are trying for babies and something goes wrong with the pregnancy? What about miscarriages that the body just won't clear on its own? What about just having bodily autonomy? And what happens when the Supreme Court strikes down the right to contraception (which, along with same-sex marriage, Judge Thomas indicated in his opinion should be up for 'discussion')? Which 'rights' will be revoked next?

But I am looking into my future, and I know I can not give my baby what they need to have a happy life. It's the same for lots of women who decided to give up their babies, they love them too much to let them suffer from poverty, unstable life, a collapsing economy, and the list goes on.
      There's no right and wrong, some of us just don't think we are competent to raise a human being. I've met parents who believed things would work out, it didn't, and their child suffered for it.

What I said is that YOU are the one assuming she doesn't when MOST people do, especially if pregnancy can KILL them. But no contraceptive is 100% effective. So, if despite taking precautions, she would get pregnant she should not have to die because of that, which by the way would ALSO kill the embryo that you are so worried about along with her. Not wanting people to die is pro-life. You are not pro-life, you are anti-choice

I totally get what you’re saying many people are aware of the consequences of sex, but just because they are aware doesn’t mean that they have control over the sex. Many women aren’t really in a position to safely say “no”. blaming only women completely ignores that it takes two to have sex. People are leaving men unaccountable. If women are now forced to give the birth, then the men whose child it is should be forced, by law to financially support the child, even if they aren’t married.

      @anhedonia First of all, it's sapient, not sentient. Look up the definitions. Second, a fetus is not sapient as they don't posses consciousness. They're not even sentient (Sentience is the ability to have feelings.).
      And church (Yes, I am Christian) can't do much. most churches struggle to fund themselves never mind someone's child. it would be great if the government took care of people who have children, but the sad fact is, they don't. It can take weeks to months, while a woman's children are starving I might add, to qualify for food stamps.
      And quality of life is ABSOLUTELY a factor. If you don't think it is then you have grown up very financially stable. Not to mention abusive households. Would you seriously force a child to live in that situation? If you would then you need your moral compass checked.

      @anhedonia I see from your other remarks that you are just an incendiary troll. However, to this specific comment: women need abortions and it has nothing to do with your views of their sexual proclivity. Pregnancy is a result of sexual activity, but forcing someone to endure pregnancy as a form of religious moral punishment is unnecessary and cruel. Sometimes a pregnancy will go awry and result in a fetal malformation or partial miscarriage and requires outside intervention in the form of abortion care to remove the remains from the woman before she becomes septic and dies. Sometimes the sexual activity was unwanted. And sometimes, the sexual activity resulted in a pregnancy that cannot be endured - for whatever reason. And that is the main crux of why privacy rights between a woman and her doctor should be upheld.
      random stranger on the streets may have a variety of opinions on whatever the pregnant woman chooses to do, but that random stranger should not get to interfere in the woman's right to medical care.

Without it I would have died & my child who was 3 at the time would have lost her mother. Abortion is healthcare and whoever needs it should have easy access. I wish people would stop repeating the fiction that women use abortion as contraception. It’s absurd, no one does that. Also contraception should be free and easily accessible.

      Stupid argument. Nobody wants to take away your ability to get rid of a dead baby's body inside you. An abortion is where you kill a LIVING baby inside you. BIG difference.

      It is an argument that pro choicers make. But the anti choice crowd don't see it that way.
      As far as anti choicers are concerned, if you don't want to get pregnant you shouldnt have sex, if you have safe sex you are still taking on the risk of pregnancy. And since you took that risk you should be willing to "pay for the consequences" and not expect the state support your bad judgement call.
      In the end, this is all about punishing women for having sex.

    • @CWargh63
      @CWargh63 2 года назад +16

      Just thinking like a lawyer - if a woman is the victim of sexual assault and it is illegal to terminate, there is no option but to give birth. If she cannot afford the costs of pegnancy and childbirth there's no alternative - she can't NOT give birth - the state could be sued for costs. Then it's just down to a standard fairness doctrine of non-descrimination and no special cases; any state where no abortions are allowed even in cases of rape, incest or mortal peril of the mother is a state where that state may end up paying for all births and prenatal care once the lawyers figure this out.

    • @heatherennis3498
      @heatherennis3498 2 года назад +37

      @anhedonia So much of what you wrote here is just wrong. I'll just point out a few.
      1. Rape and incest are not "rare". Reported cases are rare. The actual crimes are not.
      2. A fetus is not a person with constitutional rights - you cannot claim a gestating child as a dependent on your taxes. If a mother is pregnant for most of 2021 and the baby is born in January of 2022, she doesn't get to claim that child as a dependent for 2021, despite the fact that it was totally dependent on her for its survival for 3/4 of that year.
      3. What everyone seems to ignore is that overturning Roe did something absolutely insane - it gave the fetus a right no one else has - to use the body of another person without their express consent. In the US, you cannot force anyone to donate organs or blood or body parts to save someone else. And you can only use the organs of a dead person if they were an authorized organ donor before they died. But somehow a fetus can use the body of a woman until it is naturally evicted.
      Finally, a significant majority of women who get abortions are already mothers, with children they are struggling to support. Are you telling them to ignore their living children in favor of the fetus? Is she now simply an incubator? Forget the children who are already here - something that most anti-choice advocates have already done and will continue to do. This is not a pro-life movement, it's a forced-birth movement. You might want to reconsider who you are aligning yourself with.

    No one has the right to command somebody to do something they don't want, even if it is the right thing to do. (freewill) A big part of parenting is support, love, empathy, comprehension, and discipline. Understandably, the government of The US does not want to pay for an abortion. Still, instead of being judgmental, it should be more severe on social interaction and environmental issues to improve people's mental health and self-esteem. And invest in parenting education at home and school, especially primary school; this automatically will reduce levels of abortions, instead of allowing this current toxic lifestyle promoted by all these trends in social media justified by the misuse of freedom of speech.

    "The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

    • @Veeravaara
      @Veeravaara 2 года назад +1

      @anhedonia most reputable scientist actually don't agree that that's when life begins. (Sperm cells are alive)
      We can for sure say that an early embryo doesn't have a pursuit for happiness or a desire to live, as it is just a simple clump of cells that is incabable of having any thoughts, desires, wants or fears, it's biologically impossible. It's like a skin cell (that fyi can be grown into a human with modern medicine).
      A daisy doesn't have a pursuit for life nor for reproduction, it's just what has been programmed to happen. There is nobody there to pursue it, nobody to wish for anything.
      A person who went into a vegetative state did become a human at some point, but when they die they are not a person anymore. Just like an embryo isn't a person as it lacks all organs needed to survive, most importantly a brain, it hasn't become a person yet.
      I'm not claiming I know where exactly the line can be drawn in all of the issues, but we can distinguish undeniably that an embryo isn't a person yet and that a 1 yo is a person. The best guess or a compromise for the line is around week 20 where we can say it's maybe not just a clump of cells anymore.
      You say we don't call spermicide murder, but I have religious friends who do believe that contraception is preventing children from being born that should and wants to be born. And no, we don't call abortion of an embryo murder, as it is equivalent to calling scratching your poor little skin cells murder. You calling it murder in my eyes puts you in the same extremist group with my religious friends who oppose contraception.
      You know that a third of pregnancies end in miscarriages and usually it happens at such an early state that the woman doesn't even realize she is pregnant. If you believe in god, what on earth do you think the purpose of those embryos' "life" is, and would your god even think it is bad to let those clumps of cell die? I don't think any culture has funerals for them, as it is silly for anyone who doesn't share your exact belief. Why force birth on people based on beliefs they don't share? Would you happily accept a ban on all contraceptions based on someone elses belief?

      @anhedonia sure, call it murder, but you can’t consider yourself a good person for outlawing it altogether. a person can think abortion is morally bad and still not advocate for it becoming illegal, and here’s why:
      while the minority, there will always be cases of people whose lives are endangered by a pregnancy, and making abortion illegal will result in deaths.
      also, making abortion doesn’t address *why* they happen. if we don’t attack the source, how can we say we’re solving the problem? making abortions illegal will only increase illegal and unsafe abortions. we need to educate people and make contraceptives more accessible. there is a lot of misconceptions about how pregnancy happens that are still floating around, there are schools that think telling horny teens “abstinence only” is enough(even though many will be more influenced by their personal beliefs and peer pressure, rather than a teacher as to whether they will choose to have sex), rather than explaining pregnancy and how to use contraceptives properly. how can we say people need to hold responsibility for their own actions when our education system is as garbage as it is? not only that, but can you say you are good if you tell someone with an issue that it is their problem to deal with and not offer any help? many people affected by abortions becoming illegal will be poor. give more money and support(daycares, baby products, etc) and that will also reduce abortion.
      rich people will continue to have abortions!!! they may say that they’re anti-abortion, but they only say that to be viewed positively by certain groups of people. they don’t care about morality, they kick the poor while they’re down and want you to vote in their favor.
      CONCLUSION(for if you want to skip the paragraphs above):
      I think it is drastic an unsympathetic to make abortions illegal with the state of the country as it is now. healthcare is abysmal, as well as the education system. If you want to help people and unborn babies, you have to offer help, rather than seeking to punish those you deem as bad. maybe there’s a future for countrywide banning of abortion, but it is too soon and it will be too hurtful to do so now.

      To you I lack morals because I care about people losing their right to bodily autonomy, and being forced to carry regardless of whether they can afford it. You aren't as moral or "good" as you may think you are, advocating for the "baby's rights" whilst actively ignoring how dehumanizing it is for a person to be forced to carry an unwanted child cause the government banned abortion.
      Abortion is health care and people deserve the right to bodily autonomy but of course to you, I'm the one that "lacks morals". If you're gonna type out the same bs, don't bother. Just refer to my previous replies on any of your "points", it's all been addressed.

    I think at some point, everyone who pro choice needs to come together and have an agreement on what that means. And then we have to determine, what is the most likely to pass into law. I am pro choice but to a certain extent. I believe an abortion is fine in the first trimester, and thereafter only fine in cases of rape, incest, and life endangerment. I can get a lot of conservatives to agree with me up to that point as well. But looking at late term abortions for whoever, that I think gets more complicated to pass across the board. We could spend a lot more money funding with volunteer dollars, woman who can’t afford an abortion, as well as contraceptive care/family planning, if we stopped having to fund a whole bunch of fighting against the other side.

  • @trenae77

    As someone who is staunchly Pro-Life, I still believe abortion is not something that can be effectively legislated. There are too many nuances to consider: was effective birth control available; did the woman have any allergies or medications she had to take that made the contraceptive less effective or negate her ability to use it in the first place; did the man even consider HIS part and take precautions on his end,or leave matters completely up to the woman? And these are just the tip of the ice berg. What happens if the pregnancy becomes untenable? Either the child is dead or dying in the womb, or the woman’s health is steadily declining due to the pregnancy? What if nature tragically results in a miscarriage that does not completely expel the fetus? While ending a life of no other reason than the desire not to continue the pregnancy is not an outcome I would want, rendering a procedure illegal that in so many cases would prove life-preserving is unacceptable. What we all need to remind ourselves is this; overturning Roe V. Wade does NOT equate the federal government outlawing abortion, but rather takes the decision out of the Federal courts and releases the decision to the individual states. Petition you local governments and work up the chain to state senators and Governors. Rather than pushing women into a dangerous corner, consider other outlets such as counseling and accessibility to a wide array of contraceptives. Encourage the male population to step up and take their part. If a young woman finds herself pregnant and chooses not to terminate, have community resources that will offer support without stigmatizing, and open avenues for adoption that are beneficial to all involved.
    Life in and of itself is precious, and I will forever strive to encourage my friends considering abortion to think and reflect seriously on why they want to terminate; but at the end of the day the choice is theirs. They will still be my friend, and if they face complications - be it emotional or physical - from the procedure, I can wholeheartedly assure them open arms and a heart that holds no judgment.

      Yes, so pro-lifers saying they care about babies should make laws that cover childbirth, family leave, early pediatric care, and funding for stuff like daycares, there should also be more funding for schools. Instead they want to force people to carry babies they don't want to term (or until it kills the carrier) and then don't care what happens after that.
      Even in a world were the government helps pregnant people and helps the baby through its first few years at life, some abortions would still be needed, such as for if someone is raped, if its discovered the baby is missing vital organs and will die the moment its born, for people who can get pregnant but can't safely bring a pregnancy to term, or if the pregnant person gets sick but is not allowed to start treatment while pregnant.

      So I don't know about your friend, but vegetarians usually eat eggs just fine. Vegans never do. Now, the reason why vegans don't eat eggs is not because the eggs would become cute little baby chicken. Commercially sold eggs aren't even fertilized. It's because of the way egg-laying hens in commercial farms are raised and kept as egg machines without being properly cared for. So when you think about it, it makes total sense to be against eating eggs as well as being pro-choice; it all comes down to the hens as well as the pregnant women having autonomy over their own lives and bodies.

It's not like they're bashing on salsa and saying it's a stupid dance from a stupid culture.

      “Instant gratification” moment? The fact that you believe you have the right to judge the "quality" of any circumstance leading to pregnancy tells me a lot more about you than about anyone else.
      OddZero already discussed forced marriage and obstacles to accessing contraceptives (but forgot to mention that beside localized regulation-based obstacles, there is a significant poverty barrier there as well, related both to access and education). 81 percent of American women reported experiencing sexual assault in their lifetime. Every two out of three rapes go unreported (in the case of sexual assault on children, only 12 - read that again - 12 percent is reported), which means that as a reason for abortion sexual assault is horrifically under-reported. Please keep in mind that even the numbers I quoted are based on people who were willing to admit to being assaulted; not everyone is. There is also the factor that culturally, our society is messed up enough to have convinced women (and men and everyone else) that some forms of rape are actually not rape, such as marital rape, passed-out rape, rape when clear "no" was not stated, rape without a physical fight, rape without physical violence, etc. The number you're looking for is insignificant because it's inaccurate. Grossly.
      As for that incessant bible-thumping rape vs you play - you pay nonsense, get a grip. It's not your place to judge. Ever. Your judgement can only apply to you because not everyone else has to share your values. We don't have an obligation to live our lives the way you'd like us to. If you need guidance on that, I advise you to consult the bible. It has some things to say on the topic of tolerance and acceptance, unless you're an old testament hate-monger. Moreover, it's naive to believe that anyone, and I do mean anyone, has repeated "instant gratification moments" that lead to pregnancy and just have an abortion because it's so easy. It's not. It's a taxing decision that's undertaken by people who see it as the best solution in their given situation. It's hard to access for a large number of people, it's costly (in terms of actual price, travel, time off, etc.), it's stigmatized by people who think it's a "lifestyle choice", and it takes a psychological toll. Nonetheless, 5 years after, 95 percent of people who had an abortion say it was the right choice for them - that should tell you that's it's a decision not taken easily or thoughtlessly.
      As someone who's currently watching women dying needlessly in a neighboring state that introduced such ridiculous abortion laws doctors don't even perform medically-indicated abortions where the fetuses are dead or dying because they fear being sent to prison, I have little tolerance for your suggestion that abortion can ever be split into those resulting from rape vs. those caused by “instant gratification” moments. As if the latter was even a thing, and if it were - as if the two were the only possible reasons for needing an abortion. And it's always a need. It's good you're not too far gone to understand that rape victims/survivors should not be forced into a resulting pregnancy but it also means you're woefully under-informed or a well-intentioned bigot. Either one needs fixing.

      @@kmwilkerson04 I understand your point but, in my decades of existence, I have encountered way too many people of gentle tone and demeanor with the same attitude of judgement, especially when it comes to trusting women, and I developed very low tolerance as a result. And I do admit I did call you out in less than respectful terms.
      On the point of whose accounts are or are not truthful, I have to disagree. There is no benefit to reporting assault, to police or anyone else. In litigation, victims/survivors are seldom successful, both in criminal and civil court, and the idea of financial benefit is a mirage. It's like saying cancer just disappears every time because your ______ (insert person) was diagnosed with cancer and it just disappeared on its own. Does it happen? Yes. Is it true for the majority of victims/survivors? Sigh.
      In reporting assault, men subjected to it usually report even less frequently than women, yet their veracity does not get questioned as often (though their masculinity does, go figure).
      The simple truth of the matter is that we, as civilians, have no way of establishing whether anyone is or is not lying and we shouldn't be trying to because it's simply not possible. Generally, the only course of action is waiting for a verdict of the justice system, but I've discussed how well that works.
      That is why victims of more prominent offenders turn to the court of public opinion, and sometimes get shut up by being paid off without any admission of guilt by the offender. They accept not because they're greedy but because it's the only form of justice they will ever get.
