@@swimminginthoughts But what about sleeping like an aborted fetus? Oh that’s right, an aborted fetus was never alive, so you could never sleep like sleep that never existed!
Given how some of these groups are also actively working to keep child marriages on the books, I wouldn't be surprised. It's still legal in many states.
Also, their argument is “adoption”... I’m sorry we still have hundreds of kids in the system who have not been adopted yet, and most people can’t adopt even if they wanted to.
Hundreds of thousands of kids waiting adoption, but they are "too old" to be adopted because most adoptive, wealthy, religious families want only infants that they can easily raise to be like them. Is it really any wonder the GOP wants adoption to be the go-to option for unwanted pregnancies? Make all the heathens give up their babies and raise them to have your own conservative beliefs so you can out-vote all those pesky "libs"
Also the worst mortality rate in the wealthy world.. they are handing out death sentences to women (especially black women who have a 400% higher risk of dying giving birth)
I've actually heard someone who was wanting to adopt say that they only want a baby who is blonde and blue-eyed. Oh, and no disabilities. Someone I knew, who happens to have that coloring, but I was so shocked. Never thought of them the same way ever again.
They're proving they don't care about her autonomy! They've previously discussed banning birth control so it's not about reducing abortions. It's ALL ABOUT CONTROL!
Abortion is out the door. Contraceptives are next. Then women's right to vote. Then women wearing pants. After that, it will be poc. Dey not happy til da women be barefoot n pregnant in da kitchen and alla da colored folk be wearing chains in da fields.
Why does US go about accusing and advising other countries about human rights while US does not allow women to have rights which are also human rights.
@@k333rl when do you propose that the woman loses her rights if you're going to give an embryo the same rights? In real life biology, things go wrong and women deserve to make decisions about THEIR BODIES!
I got pregnant when I was 18. I was on the pill, but my doctor put me on a lower dose and I got pregnant. I considered abortion but in the end decided against it. I had a rough pregnancy, nearly miscarried 3 times mostly from lack of food since the government wouldn't help me with food stamps because the father lived with me and wouldn't work. I still worked up to my 5th month when I almost miscarried again, then had to quit. Then my son was born two months early weighing only 4lbs 6 oz. He was in the hospital for 5 weeks to gain weight. I only weighed 108 the day he was born from lack of food. I don't regret having my son who is 43 now and I have 4 grandchildren. My son's father never paid child support, and hasn't saw my son since he was 4 months old when he hit him in the head and caused a concussion and he was put in jail for 6 months. I struggled on food stamps which I got when I left him and did without a lot throughout my son's childhood. I eventually went back to school and got a college degree. Long story I know ,but all these legislators outlawing or restricting abortion should walk in the shoes of woman who's lives are forever changed if they are forced to have children they know they can't care for. It gave me comfort to know had I ever got pregnant again I would have the choice for an abortion.
I am there with you. My son will be 34 this year and his father has NEVER seen him, never asked if it was a boy or girl and has never paid a penny in child support because my state failed at finding him. A few years ago I got a call from Child Support saying they were closing his case because I was not cooperating with them, but I told them who he was I told them where he lived and I stood up in court and told the court that his mother and stepfather lied to them. They said they could not find him and it took me all of five minutes on Facebook to find him even though I have not seen him since I got pregnant. All the officials involved in my case were, no surprise MALE.
As someone who was abused as a child I would love to have that lady in front of me. Sxual abuse on vulnerable victims especially minors, is a barbaric act that will mark a person forever. Imagine having a baby as a result of it and having to keep it and be traumatized by having to care for a literal unwanted child every day. Then having the child experience a life of unfit parenting. People are choosing to not have kids at all. Why are some people being forced to be parents by politicians?
"Why are some people being forced to be parents by politicians?" Because those politicians either think having a kid "Thanos snaps" away all your problems away permanently or they're control freaks that can't/won't see the grey areas of life. Maybe both
@@daisyadele967 It is heartbreaking to me how true this is. It happens in El Salvador where abortion is heavily restricted and sexual violence against women and girls is a huge problem. 3 out of 8 maternal deaths there are suicides, and suicide is a leading cause of death for adolescent girls.
If a woman cannot have access to an abortion, then the father should not only be financially responsibly, he should have his rights circumcised. Heads up to all these men who sign these laws.

A person has more say over what happens to their corpse after they die than women in some states have over what happens to their body while they're alive. Organs cannot legally be harvested from a corpse, even though they could be used to save lives, yet a living, breathing girl/woman can be forced, in some states, to allow a fetus to use her entire body as life support, causing permanent changes, and even exposing her to the possibility of pregnancy-related cancer.
My mom lost her teeth during her pregnancy with my brother because she was anorexic and couldn't afford to eat enough. He literally sucked the nutrients out of her bones. She'd tried many times to get on food stamps before she was finally accepted at the end of her pregnancy. How they let an 18 year old anorexic pregnant woman knowingly starve is beyond me. But hey, thats Texas.
@@chloerene7858 my friend lost her teeth after her baby too. She was 27 with full dentures. And of course she paid 100% bc after the baby was born she no longer needed medical care in the state's eyes.

I made the choice to become "fixed" when I was 20, after a medically-threatening (albeit accidental) pregnancy and subsequent abortion. The procedures were all performed separately, scheduled at the discretion of myself and my doctor. I was not pressured, nor stigmatized either way..in fact, insurance footed most of the costs for all of it. Hard to believe now, but this was in Florida, too. I love kids, but I am happy being the favorite aunt..best "choice" I've ever made.
Nobody tells me what to do with my body, even Dr's ask for approval to do surgery on gallbladder, since when the government should have a say so in abortion?
the men responsible for these pregnancies should have to get a Vasectomy for irresponsible impregnations, especially those guys who think it's awesome to have multiple baby-mammas. MEN need to be held MORE accountable.
Better yet, castration A vasectomy would just allow the guy to get away with more rapes. There needs to be consequences that make men really pay attention.
@@amywalker7515 Although I oppose castration, it's been suggested that abortion works to the advantage of the abuser. I have no idea if this is true or not but groups like LiveAction cite cases in which abusers took pregnant minors to abortion clinics.
Watch out now.. you’re going to draw the ire of the evangelical holy than thou saint that will tell you a “woman needs to keep her legs closed.” Oh unless a man you have no interest in forces himself on you physically, well honey that’s just GOD giving you a child whether you’re ready or not… asinine and insane isn’t it??.. Now mind you all these decisions are made by mostly white males!!!
Almost none of these anti-abortionists have adopted a needy child and it ends up in foster care, on drugs, on the streets. It just creates more and more poverty and homeless and junkies.
@@audreymuzingo933 while I am a man and have no first hand experience on the subject... the topic has been studied for quite some time. There's plenty of literature on the subject.

i LOVE how Republicans like this crotchety old lady like to decide they know advanced trauma psychology. "The scars will never go away." Give me a BREAK. She basically is saying "Having a baby that you resent or hate and possible abuse or can't afford is better than no baby at all." What a monstrous attitude.
@@pjaypender1009 You do not know what you are talking about - why did you have an abortion you didn't regret? Stop speaking for women when you don't even understand why a woman would choose abortion and if she regrets it ?
@@alexandriayannotti1592 Reread the comment. And read your own comment while you're at it. 'Why did you have an abortion you didn't regret?' What does that even mean?
Of course, they are not going to take care of these kids. Look at how they let the child tax care credit lapse. Now they are denying them a decent education. Naw, they are not going to take care of any of them.
As a man I can say that IF men were held responsible for the unwanted creation of a life, these laws would die on the vine. These abortion laws were created, in general, by OLD, WHITE men. If any of these GOP Governors have daughters, I would bet they would not want them to carry a rapists child to term.
Abortion is a woman's right. That is settled law even according to Kavanaugh and Barrett. All the other talk about abortion is appeasing the contributors of the GOP. Protect a woman's right to choose for herself and VOTE BLUE.
THank you Tony. We need more male allies like you because it's mostly men who want to control us (especially old ones who don't even get laid anymore).
@Not Sure if conception is the beginning of life, then shouldn't child support begin there as well? if the republicans were serious about this, they would pass a law, requiring males to have vasectomies. after all republicans LOVE telling people what they can and can't do with their bodies.
I was having a discussion about this and proposed the concept that a DNA test should be done and the biological father should then be responsible for all costs. Not just child support but every single cost incurred due to the woman's pregnancy. If they are going to force women to bear the child then the responsible man should be forced to cover the financial responsibility with no option to decline. Lets see how long it would take them to rethink their game plan.
Family court in every state is full of women trying to get men to pay child support. Most women have to fight for every penny even after there is a court-ordered agreement, payment plan and garnishing of wages. It isn’t easy.
Right? Don't these people also preach about "traditional" families where the men are supposed to be financial providers? The GOP uses to be a joke but now they're monsters.
The rest of the "game plan" in these circumstances should be: snip and sew, snip and sew. "You break it, you own it and since you have proven that you are not a responsible male, we are not going to give you an opportunity to break anything else." Hair on fire males across the entire nation in less then five seconds.
You have to remember, the people making these laws are wealthy, white conservatives. They don't care if the average man has to pay for a bunch of kids they can't support. They believe that "promiscuous" women deserve to be single mothers and that the parents are a bunch of lazy, irresponsible dead-beats anyway so who cares what happens to them?
Could you imagine a man, forced against his will, to care for infant he didn’t want, 24/7, through to maturity?😂😂 In a country that boasts freedom above all, how are these self righteous sob’s able to pass such draconian laws?
I guess that every female should have a funeral every time that she has a menstrual period. It makes as much sense as what these legislators are proposing.
@@j.c.5749 As someone who has worked with abused children for years, I can tell you there is not a long line to adopt (especially disabled children). Why aren’t all of these pro-lifers adopting children? Why are they not adopting the 12 year old who needs to have his diaper changed or the 8 year old who is not mobile and on a g-tube? Pro-life doesn’t mean pro-child.
Right? Also, most kids age out of the system before they're even adopted. Let alone being bounced from foster home to foster home on an already stressed out system.
Then there is also the fact that a woman who knows she didn't want the baby may have difficulty making the choice to give the baby up for adoption. And they will say, "the beauty of a mother's love". But all the reasons she thought she shouldn't have a child are still there. The fact that she didn't want children may not go away. Her financial situation hasn't changed. Her support system hasn't changed. If she is not very responsible, she may or may not remain so. We all know of people sho should never have been parents.
That child had nothing to do with it. I would be more concerned that the father would want anything to do with his child. I would also be concerned how to explain this to the child when it grows up.
@@verisww8104 Many women won't be able to totally separate their negative feelings or memories from their child. How awful will be the impact upon the child no matter that mother's best effort at parenting?

I don't agree with "banning" abortions AT ALL as it's the government asserting control over womens' bodies, but if states are gonna "go there" then the states' taxpayers should be forced to cover the FULL cost of living for both that child and its mother until the child turns 18! In other words, sue the state for child support!
Why are men deciding on laws regarding women's bodies? They don't become pregnant, give birth; they drop a load and keep on moving. Women in those states should invest in a or a couple of really good vibritors and remember to " JUST SAY NO" to their spouses until this bill is overturned.
Well thought out and great delivery. I hope women take it to heart. I lost my spouse to cancer a year ago and she battled cancer for almost 3 years before endometrial cancer metastasized into her lungs.

Your situation is different than most women. I don't know where you live but in the USA, it's almost impossible for a young healthy female to get her tubes tied and forget about total hysterectomy. A woman has to be at least 25 and had at least three children and she has to have permission from her husband. I tried for years and my doctors all said nope.....real quick. My older sister had to fly to PR to get hers tubes tied. I had to have permission from my father, because I was not married, to have breast reduction. If not for my father I'd be carrying around 36 GGG's. We women need help in getting this problem solved.
@@shelbyonehalf yes, you are precisely correct. Truth be told, it was because he was a doctor who was about to retire from practice and had worked with my mother in surgery for many, many years.. that, and my newly diagnosed mental disorders (of which I knew I would be taking lifelong psychotropic medications, not conducive with full-term pregnancies), AND the great insurance through mom's work...these we're the only reasons I was able to have the procedure.. especially considering my young age, single status, and having no children of my own thus far. This was most assuredly a case of privileged access of care...but I promise you this, not a single day goes by in which I'm not fully appreciative. I just hope the more we talk about the shadowed nuances of a seemingly black and white topic (at least for the conservatives), then the more comprehensive our approach will become as a community to fully actuate and extend the services every woman has a right to receive...and deserves 🥰
the "no matter how young" line made me sick to my stomach... does she have ANY clue how young someone can be and still get pregnant? Ovulation can start as young as 8, and on average does so at about 11 or 12 years old in the United States.
Heartbeat is irrelevant. The very beginnings of our higher brain structures only start to appear between weeks 12 and 16. Crucially, the co-ordinated brain activity required for consciousness does not occur until 24-25 weeks of pregnancy.
What you say is modern medical science. The life of the living woman outweighs the non-living. If you want to be technical in legal terms, a woman who has been alive for the years she has been living, outweighs any life that's still inside the womb.

Here's the thing, I see every single anti-abortion argument as being based in Christianity. Coming from a Christian point of view. Most of the time is openly argued against using Christianity outright. Now I know this is gonna make some of y'all freak out but I thought we had a Constitutional Right to a freedom FROM religion. 1st. Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting or prohibiting any religion. So why are they allowed to argue thusly? Try and be respectful when you answer please. It's an honest question.

Exactly. I myself would not chose abortion….BUT that is my choice. I do NOT have the right to make that decision for anyone else. I believe in God, but do not have the right to tell others they have to believe like I do or that they have to believe at all. It’s all fun and games when it’s going the way one believes, but what happens in 5 years when someone else comes into power and says you have to believe like they do.
I don't agree w abortion but I agree with an individual's right to choose. However, the Supreme Court granted this right to women and now , coming back to take it away ...... Allowing laws now to pass , that violates women rights even before taking the same rights granted away from women.
Did you see that dried up husk??? Nothing is coming out of that but dust. I seriously doubt anything wants to go in that for procreation.

They began stacking the courts with politicians instead of jurist and electing greedy, corporate influenced zealots.
These are the same people who don't want to pay to help take care of these children. Don't want food stamps and welfare. Also, there will be an increase in children going into the foster system, which is horrible.
Give birth in order to "...Give to someone else?..." So this women is making American women into a sweat shop factory? She is giving everyone a bright business export idea 🥵
Just goes to show if a woman wants to rid herself of an unwanted pregnancy, she will! Bet you the birthrate around these states will drop. The birth control manufacturers are having a field day. How much you want to bet that the GOP will try to regulate that next?
They are already trying to regulate birth control. We've had "religious refusal" laws for over a decade, allowing anyone in the healthcare system to refuse to participate in assisting someone in obtaining birth control. The GOP has fought to allow religious exemptions for businesses to cover abortions AND birth control options so that any female employee working for them has to pay out of pocket for birth control. GOP politicians have been calling contraceptives "abortions" for years now, attempting to argue that things like the pill cause abortions. Louisiana is leading the way in make a law that would classify many common forms of birth control as abortions and anyone using them could be charged with murder and go to jail for life. Sen Marsha Blackburn has suggested SCOTUS overturn the case that established contraceptives as legal, and she has proposed that only married couples be able to obtain birth control. There has even been talk of how to ban condoms across the US. As soon as the protections for abortion fall, birth control access will tumble down with it.
How about calling the man who created the "opportunity" for this unfortunate woman, who often is very young. Are the members of the Supreme Court who support this willing to support a law that keeps middle aged men away from fourteen year old girls?
Also adding here: there have been cases of girls as young as 6 or 7 becoming pregnant. Giving birth is not risk-free. In states who didn't expand Medicaid, maternal and infant mortality rates are higher than many developing countries. Horrible that anyone thinks this is OK. It's not.
I suppose it would be too much to ask for that legislator from Ohio to actually read unbiased research into the consequences of making pregnant people carry to term when they are unable or unwilling to do so. While it's true that a significant number of people do bear some psychological or emotional scars from having to make the choice, most seem pretty satisfied that they did the right thing once they've made the choice.
But don't put any reasonable boundaries on gun ownership and be sure everyone can open carry semi-automatic weapons. And what about all of these Constitutionalists? Abortion rights are Constitutional, so these governors show great disrespect for how our democracy works when they don't get their way and don't represent the majority.
Yet still no stricter laws on the men that cause pregnancy. No tougher punishments for rapists. And no new programs or benefits to help raise or support mom or child.
People with money will always be able to get around abortion laws , they always have. This law is to penalize poor and working class women. Misogyny pure and simple.
If abortions become illegal, than those fathers should pay for food, shelter, housing of the child and mother with mandatory child support. The fathers are forcing women to carry, but then don't want to take care of their own kids when they come out the womb!! 😑
All I can conclude is that there is a huge swathe of the US that is primitive and inhumane. This is the 21st Century not some feudal horror where there is no respect for personal autonomy, especially for woman.

Also, their argument is “adoption”... I’m sorry we still have hundreds of kids in the system who have not been adopted yet, and most people can’t adopt even if they wanted to.
Hundreds of thousands of kids waiting adoption, but they are "too old" to be adopted because most adoptive, wealthy, religious families want only infants that they can easily raise to be like them. Is it really any wonder the GOP wants adoption to be the go-to option for unwanted pregnancies? Make all the heathens give up their babies and raise them to have your own conservative beliefs so you can out-vote all those pesky "libs"

I got pregnant when I was 18. I was on the pill, but my doctor put me on a lower dose and I got pregnant. I considered abortion but in the end decided against it. I had a rough pregnancy, nearly miscarried 3 times mostly from lack of food since the government wouldn't help me with food stamps because the father lived with me and wouldn't work. I still worked up to my 5th month when I almost miscarried again, then had to quit. Then my son was born two months early weighing only 4lbs 6 oz. He was in the hospital for 5 weeks to gain weight. I only weighed 108 the day he was born from lack of food. I don't regret having my son who is 43 now and I have 4 grandchildren. My son's father never paid child support, and hasn't saw my son since he was 4 months old when he hit him in the head and caused a concussion and he was put in jail for 6 months. I struggled on food stamps which I got when I left him and did without a lot throughout my son's childhood. I eventually went back to school and got a college degree. Long story I know ,but all these legislators outlawing or restricting abortion should walk in the shoes of woman who's lives are forever changed if they are forced to have children they know they can't care for. It gave me comfort to know had I ever got pregnant again I would have the choice for an abortion.
@@jetta2134 Wow, you missed the whole point of that post.
I am there with you. My son will be 34 this year and his father has NEVER seen him, never asked if it was a boy or girl and has never paid a penny in child support because my state failed at finding him. A few years ago I got a call from Child Support saying they were closing his case because I was not cooperating with them, but I told them who he was I told them where he lived and I stood up in court and told the court that his mother and stepfather lied to them. They said they could not find him and it took me all of five minutes on Facebook to find him even though I have not seen him since I got pregnant. All the officials involved in my case were, no surprise MALE.

If they are going to force women to bear the child then the responsible man should be forced to cover the financial responsibility with no option to decline. Lets see how long it would take them to rethink their game plan.
Could you imagine the outrcy from the men?
Family court in every state is full of women trying to get men to pay child support. Most women have to fight for every penny even after there is a court-ordered agreement, payment plan and garnishing of wages. It isn’t easy.

@@j.c.5749 As someone who has worked with
abused children for years, I can tell you there is not a long line to adopt (especially disabled children). Why aren’t all of these pro-lifers adopting children? Why are they not adopting the 12 year old who needs to have his diaper changed or the 8 year old who is not mobile and on a g-tube? Pro-life doesn’t mean pro-child.
Right? Also, most kids age out of the system before they're even adopted. Let alone being bounced from foster home to foster home on an already stressed out system.
Then there is also the fact that a woman who knows she didn't want the baby may have difficulty making the choice to give the baby up for adoption. And they will say, "the beauty of a mother's love". But all the reasons she thought she shouldn't have a child are still there. The fact that she didn't want children may not go away. Her financial situation hasn't changed. Her support system hasn't changed. If she is not very responsible, she may or may not remain so. We all know of people sho should never have been parents.
Out of sight, out of mind for these guys. Since it doesn't affect them they don't care.
True, the scars don't go away but they can fade. Now imagine every time you see the face of your child you're reminded of that trauma.

How do u know how a woman feels just because you’re a woman you don’t know what it was like before Rowe way if you don’t know what it was like to have to go to Harlem by yourself being a white girl being very young so shut your mouth and you really don’t know what you’re talking about keep your opinions to yourself we’re tired of it
Thank god we have u.

Hope the state doesn’t mind feeding all these unwanted babies once they make abortions illegal
Yes, if they're gonna force a woman to have a baby then they need to take financial responsibility.
Don't forget health, vision and dental care.
It won't stop abortion anyway go back to back Allie abortions again before roe!!!
State want do anything they say the women are lazy don't want to work. Most of the men want even pay child support.
Heck no. They want to force the children into poverty. They just want to CONTROL us.
I don't agree with "banning" abortions AT ALL as it's the government asserting control over womens' bodies, but if states are gonna "go there" then the states' taxpayers should be forced to cover the FULL cost of living for both that child and its mother until the child turns 18! In other words, sue the state for child support!
For everyone against abortion; don't get one. See how easy that was?!!! Stop divorcing if you're that worried about your book, hypocrites!
Shades of 1980's Romania, this has long term consequences for the state and the people. History does repeat itself.

@@j.c.5749 These law makers are the blind leading the deaf.
Why are men deciding on laws regarding women's bodies? They don't become pregnant, give birth; they drop a load and keep on moving.
Women in those states should invest in a or a couple of really good vibritors and remember to " JUST SAY NO" to their spouses until this bill is overturned.
Well thought out and great delivery. I hope women take it to heart. I lost my spouse to cancer a year ago and she battled cancer for almost 3 years before endometrial cancer metastasized into her lungs. She didn’t marry me until she was 49.99 years old and I never had any children with my first wife but she was smart enough to know that we shouldn’t have children that late stage in life because of their medical complications mostly for the child that would probably have arisen. She was a teacher of the deaf very beautiful soul I love children so she didn’t need to have to bear any children of her own. I don’t think she ever had an abortion but she definitely believed in women’s right to choose and so do I.

It's funny how they all want you to believe that an unborn child is a sacred thing...but then won't offer assist those same children and their mother they oh so cared about prior to their birth. Make, it make sense 🤷♂️??
Adoption Agencies should camp out at these events with applications ready for each of these people to sign up for. Ask them how many will THEY adopt and What ailments of the child is their disqualified limits or will they open their hearts and homes to any and all. Will they foster a child? This is their go to solution but will they be willing to fund the solution or just kick it the curb for others to HANDLE?
You can't adopt if you're crazy.
I like your idea, but whether or not these loons would adopt should have no bearing on women's reproductive choices. I'm sick of all this medical fraud where politicians think they're doctors!
Good idea, but I would never give that woman a child..
Okay, this is a dark topic and of course the pregnancies would still take a massive toll, but just imagine seeing a dingbat like Ted Cruz give an interview in front of his home, while 655 kids he had to adopt from unwanted pregnancies just rampage on the lawn behind him xDD
@@icebergrose8955 You can't adopt if you are not religious. Most adoption agencies are managed by religious nuts.

I made the choice to become "fixed" when I was 20, after a medically-threatening (albeit accidental) pregnancy and subsequent abortion. The procedures were all performed separately, scheduled at the discretion of myself and my doctor. I was not pressured, nor stigmatized either way..in fact, insurance footed most of the costs for all of it. Hard to believe now, but this was in Florida, too. I love kids, but I am happy being the favorite aunt..best "choice" I've ever made.
Great story. you have a loving heart and it shows.
nice cope
Being the favorite aunt is the best! ❤️
Your situation is different than most women. I don't know where you live but in the USA, it's almost impossible for a young healthy female to get her tubes tied and forget about total hysterectomy. A woman has to be at least 25 and had at least three children and she has to have permission from her husband. I tried for years and my doctors all said nope.....real quick. My older sister had to fly to PR to get hers tubes tied. I had to have permission from my father, because I was not married, to have breast reduction. If not for my father I'd be carrying around 36 GGG's. We women need help in getting this problem solved.
@@shelbyonehalf yes, you are precisely correct. Truth be told, it was because he was a doctor who was about to retire from practice and had worked with my mother in surgery for many, many years.. that, and my newly diagnosed mental disorders (of which I knew I would be taking lifelong psychotropic medications, not conducive with full-term pregnancies), AND the great insurance through mom's work...these we're the only reasons I was able to have the procedure.. especially considering my young age, single status, and having no children of my own thus far. This was most assuredly a case of privileged access of care...but I promise you this, not a single day goes by in which I'm not fully appreciative. I just hope the more we talk about the shadowed nuances of a seemingly black and white topic (at least for the conservatives), then the more comprehensive our approach will become as a community to fully actuate and extend the services every woman has a right to receive...and deserves 🥰
I am not for abortion but USA attitude to lack of empathy for violated women and girls is frightening to me .
We have a history of retraumatizing people after a traumatic event and calling it an opportunity. No it is not.
the "no matter how young" line made me sick to my stomach... does she have ANY clue how young someone can be and still get pregnant? Ovulation can start as young as 8, and on average does so at about 11 or 12 years old in the United States.
Heartbeat is irrelevant. The very beginnings of our higher brain structures only start to appear between weeks 12 and 16. Crucially, the co-ordinated brain activity required for consciousness does not occur until 24-25 weeks of pregnancy.
What you say is modern medical science. The life of the living woman outweighs the non-living.
If you want to be technical in legal terms, a woman who has been alive for the years she has been living,
outweighs any life that's still inside the womb.
Plus you can take a very small group of heart muscle cells and they will spontaneously start to pulse.......but there is no real 'heart-function' going on, no blood being pumped etc not even a single heart chamber formed.
But are these anti-abortion people really talking about physical viability or about the existence of a "soul"? I suspect the latter. And there is no proof of its existence, just wishful thinking and fairytales and countless speculative theories.
@@sharcon3891 I like your comment and would like to add a physical element to it. These anti-abortion people talk about abortion and birth, but do they advocate natural child-birth, when you can say babies born on pain-killers grow up with an affinity for drugs? If you want to talk about abortion in terms of modern medicine, talk about it as "god" intended it, a big part of their rationale.
@@judys5767 You seem to know a lot about one woman and her four children. Even if everything you say is true, at least it looks like they might stand a chance to have a healthy as life as possible.

I was in jail in 2019. The TV was on; this dangerous debate over women's right to abortion was yet again airing. I was sitting with a pro-Trump 24-year-old drug addict. I turned to her and said, "Make it a priority in your life to assure this right to bodily autonomy is upheld for your fellow citizens; it is about to be destroyed and removed". She said, "Can't 'they' just use a coat hanger, or something?? Nuff said. I love her as a person, but because of her cluelessness I am more than ever grateful to have had two legal abortions because of birth control failure, 42 years ago. No children, no regrets. I worry for the future of women in this country, and virtually all of our rights that we have supposed were immutable.
Well said.
Wow, her level of ignorance of how painful and life-threatening using a coat hanger actually is, is mindboggling. Was she actually that dumb?
How about contraception

Correction, What gives the government the right over our bodies!!!
What the shame is Schmidt is all the unwanted children already in the system that’s broken! How about you do something about them, before more unwanted children are added! Why not do something about the children getting shot in you’re broken school system? How about what happens between a doctor and patient has stuff all to do with anyone else, it’s none of your business.
I agree. I’ve worked with abused kids for decades and people aren’t exactly lining up to adopt them…..especially ones with disabilities.
Why is the system broken? Because they don't want to pay for it. It's broken because of them!
Here's the thing, I see every single anti-abortion argument as being based in Christianity. Coming from a Christian point of view. Most of the time is openly argued against using Christianity outright. Now I know this is gonna make some of y'all freak out but I thought we had a Constitutional Right to a freedom FROM religion. 1st. Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting or prohibiting any religion.
So why are they allowed to argue thusly?
Try and be respectful when you answer please. It's an honest question. From a lapsed Midwest Methodist.
Exactly. I myself would not chose abortion….BUT that is my choice. I do NOT have the right to make that decision for anyone else. I believe in God, but do not have the right to tell others they have to believe like I do or that they have to believe at all. It’s all fun and games when it’s going the way one believes, but what happens in 5 years when someone else comes into power and says you have to believe like they do.
It's pretty much the PERFECT question. Thank you for it!
@@shywhispers1 Yes, this is truly a "slippery slope" we're headed down.

They began stacking the courts with politicians instead of jurist and electing greedy, corporate influenced zealots.
Women need to stand up now, men too. We're in the majority here and have to make Roe v Wade permanent.
These are the same people who don't want to pay to help take care of these children. Don't want food stamps and welfare. Also, there will be an increase in children going into the foster system, which is horrible.

Just goes to show if a woman wants to rid herself of an unwanted pregnancy, she will! Bet you the birthrate around these states will drop. The birth control manufacturers are having a field day. How much you want to bet that the GOP will try to regulate that next?
They are already trying to regulate birth control. We've had "religious refusal" laws for over a decade, allowing anyone in the healthcare system to refuse to participate in assisting someone in obtaining birth control. The GOP has fought to allow religious exemptions for businesses to cover abortions AND birth control options so that any female employee working for them has to pay out of pocket for birth control. GOP politicians have been calling contraceptives "abortions" for years now, attempting to argue that things like the pill cause abortions. Louisiana is leading the way in make a law that would classify many common forms of birth control as abortions and anyone using them could be charged with murder and go to jail for life. Sen Marsha Blackburn has suggested SCOTUS overturn the case that established contraceptives as legal, and she has proposed that only married couples be able to obtain birth control. There has even been talk of how to ban condoms across the US.
As soon as the protections for abortion fall, birth control access will tumble down with it.
@@DimaRakesah so they don’t give birth control and don’t allow abortions… sounds like it’s gonna be a baddd next couple years if this law passes
How about calling the man who created the "opportunity" for this unfortunate woman, who often is very young. Are the members of the Supreme Court who support this willing to support a law that keeps middle aged men away from fourteen year old girls?
Abortion is legal in Canada nation wide without restriction since 1982. The U.S. is number one crazy culture.
Yes, and it is getting worse by the day. Many of us used to be proud to be American. Now many of us are ashamed to be one.
Crazy religious politicians
Also adding here: there have been cases of girls as young as 6 or 7 becoming pregnant. Giving birth is not risk-free. In states who didn't expand Medicaid, maternal and infant mortality rates are higher than many developing countries. Horrible that anyone thinks this is OK. It's not.
even places that have banned abortion still have a clause that allows it due to medical complications and risks.
