abortion

Am I the only one who finds this speech to be a momentous. The POTUS basically called the SCOTUS out of control and going against the constitution and plotting with the rogue republicans. POk-3xSOiuw

I don't normally post here, but this scares the crap outta me. I went to sleep in the US, and woke up in Gilead. I believe that this is the top of a greased slope, where rights are going to be under fire at an ever quickening pace (unless it involves guns). Anyone have a good vetted list of...

Abortion rate in England and Wales hits five-year high https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/17/abortion-rate-england-and-wales-five-year-high The headline is the slight increase in overall numbers but I think the changing in patterns is the more interesting information. So older women...

Pregnant people are being offered an unproven treatment to “reverse” abortions https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/11/11/20953337/abortion-pill-reversal-ohio-bill-law-pregnancy

I asked in another thread if the Democratic Party has actually been drifting to the right as many have alleged. Not really wanting a derail I figured we could discuss that here. Is the current Democratic Party to the right on its policy positions from the 80's/90's? Personally I think they...

I've never understood why fundamentalist Christians oppose abortion. They clearly DO NOT know scripture. The commandment doesn't say Thou shall not kill, it says Thou shall not murder. God orders the Jews to kill people for all kinds of offenses. A husband has a right to slay his bride if...

I'm tired of all the unjustified deference and excessive praise heaped upon New York's biggest religious bigot, I mean, newly appointed Cardinal, Timothy Dolan, in the New York City media. This has been bothering me for a while, but then the front page of today's NY Daily News expressed...

Could unnatural tampering with a woman's reproductive system have negative health consequences to a woman's reproductive system? That would seem to make simple sense and be a logical possibility, wouldn't you agree? I realize that this is most politically incorrect and that some immediately do...

I had a thread about contraception / abortion / infanticide two years ago, without a poll. http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152722 Now there is another thread about the subject going on, also without a poll, so let us get some statistics about people´s opinions...

Spontaneous Abortion Why is killing babies so important to God?

Have you ever heard the argument used by anti-abortion folks that women who have abortions often live to regret it? Or that they are likely to develop depression or other mental health issues? Well, now a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has looked at the issue and found...

http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/church-of-scientology-no-kids-allowed/1101759 This has been a major complaint from ex-members of the scientology elite group called the Sea Org. The coerced and forced abortions relates to these members of scientology, not general members (whose...

Apparently 'abortion foes' are using the new health care exchanges to restrict the right of access to insured abortion coverage. So they are using the new law to impose 'government regulations' on 'the decisions between a doctor and their patient'. Irony...

Oklahoma Legislatures sends women's rights back to the 60's and more than willing to violate their privacy: http://www.smh.com.au/world/antiabortion-bill-to-block-foetal-test-results-20100421-szqu.html Unbelievably disgusting legislation out of the OK state. commentary...

"That virus-laden DNA of aborted babies could be wreaking havoc on the DNA of healthy children is completely plausible," http://www.lifenews.com/nat6272.html I'm speachless. We should have the "anti-choice/anti-vaccine" tag-team take on "Palin/Bachman" to see which should hold the belt for...

Madness... http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=975048 "Pennsylvania lawmakers are again considering a bill to provide birth certificates for stillborn babies. Proponents have previously submitted bills for the birth certificates, but efforts have failed each time. In fact, the...

Just when you think they couldn't get any worse, the Vatican displays whole new levels of douche-baggery. Oh no, they don't have any responsibility for covering up decades of systematic child-rape - it's just all the godless abortionists & gays trying to smear the Pope... Vatican blasts critics...

Since many people who are religious consider abortion to be murder, they must consider the embryo being aborted a human being. So my question is: When, during the pregnancy, does the embryo become a human being? If someone answers that it happens at conception, I'd like to know how a single...

Or is it always immoral? An interesting take by Sagan: http://www.2think.org/abortion.shtml

Online posting of women's abortion information challenged in Oklahoma (CNN) Don't you just love having an independent judiciary? :)

I have a question for the Americans on these forums. Today I came across the following article: US Wife Tries To Rid Mistress Of Child The guts of the story is: Now, can someone explain why she isn't being charged with attempted murder or at least conspiracy to commit murder (she got...

The Stupak amendment is the amendment prohibiting insurance coverage for abortions for people who get subsidies. But people can purchase a rider. Here's the thing. It would actually save the insurance company money for an insured woman to get an abortion. A first trimester abortion costs a...

To put pro-lifers and pro-choicers on equal footing, I have this little thought experiment. Suppose we have Star Trek technology. A pregnant woman can go in for an abortion, to have the embryo or fetus immediately teleported out of the woman into a large fluid filled incubator designed to...

Recently, I was described as a "Clause" because I was asked to describe the objective and scientific differences between a fetus and an infant. This leads me to start this poll. Is and infant and a fetus "fundamentally" the same? WTF does "fundamentally" mean?

I'm curious about the attitude of members of this forum toward the doctor who in the past two decades has preformed an estimated 60,000 abortions. Since this is largely an atheist forum I would like to know your reaction to this story. For myself I can not say I am against abortions in all...

A young child sees a graphic picture of an aborted fetus being shown by an anti-abortion protester on a business street. The child asks the adult she/he is with what it is. The man gets enraged and turns his vehicle toward the protester. The protester jumped out of the way and is unharmed...

Via LGF: This article has an interesting fact about George Tiller. Maybe because they didn't want to explain to their pro-life friends why they stopped coming to protests?

Well, it seems as if the other shoe is starting to drop. I had long feared that this was the work of more than just one unhinged nut... Suspect in abortion doctor death warns of violence I'm now pretty much convinced that we could be seeing a resurgence of the kind of ultra-fundamentalist...

Was Tiller's Murder a Staged, State-Sponsored Terror Attack? There's a good chance that this shooting was done by an agent provocateur, in an attempt to advance the pro-abortion and anti-gun movement. * No evidence has been presented that Roeder did the shooting. * Roeder was 170 miles away...
