abortion laws

ironically, most arguments people use in defense of homeschooling or anti-vax ("they are our kids and no government gets to tell us what to do with them) are suddenly invalid when it comes to abortion. Thread continues from here. You can quote or reply to any posts from that part here.

A bill to ban abortion introduced in the Ohio state legislature requires doctors to “reimplant an ectopic pregnancy” into a woman’s uterus – a procedure that does not exist in medical science – or face charges of “abortion murder”. Unbelievable. Given that this can be a life-threatening...

So it looks like Missouri will be the first state to have a defacto total ban on abortion this week. "St. Louis, Missouri — The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it expects to be shut down this week, effectively ending legal abortion in the state. In a statement Tuesday, Planned...

When does Roe v Wade get thrown out? With a SCOTUS now built on solidly anti-abortion conservatives, I can see a 5-4 vote devolving legislation to states happening in the very near future. I reckon the Red Team will be looking for a judgement before the 2020 election, so my pick is within one...

This is somewhat of a spinoff from the thread in US Politics discussing different state laws concerning abortion. I've long been concerned with what I perceive are inconsistent approaches among states concerning what is murder of a fetus. There are a few states in which it is perfectly legal to...

With Georgia about set to give women who get abortions the death penalty, Ohio requiring ectopic pregnancies be saved...somehow and Alabama deciding rape isn't a problem it is the sluts that claim rape happened that is the problem...well I'd like to say that all the Bernie Bros who said back in...

So I'm trying to debate this bill on Facebook and the Conservative Underground forum. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/130/text So duh! If a child is born alive even if it is an abortion, they are not allowed to be killed for any reason. For example in WA, RCW...

On the 25th May voters in Ireland will go to the polls to decide whether or not to repeal the 8th Amendment to the Irish Constitution. The 8th Amendment is as follows... "The State acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother...

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/08/us/kentucky-abortion-bills-pass/index.html Basically no abortion (unless life in danger) past 20 weeks, and forcing an examination to make the woman hear the heartbeat and see the embryo (although the law note the woman can "advert her eye" and ask the heartbeat...

In Ohio, the state legislature has passed a law banning abortions of any fetus that has a detectable heartbeat, and they've got another on the way banning abortions after 20 weeks (the latter presumably continuing as a backup to the first). The former law would pretty much completely ban...

Plunging numbers of Texas abortions: Are clinic closings behind decline? It seems pretty obvious that the closings probably have something to do with it. Kind of illustrates why who gets to fill the next Supreme Court vacancy is crucial. It's not just Texas.

Coat-Hanger Abortions in Tennessee I feel like throwing up after reading this article. . . . http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2015/12/18/greatest-fear-come-pass-coat-hanger-abortions-tennessee/ Of course the #4%$# of Tennessee are going to charge her with murder

Well the conservatives won in Texas. Abortion is now banned in the state.

This might be better suited to SMMT but it's a political issue so I've started it here. As part of their opposition to abortion groups in the United States have succeeded in requiring "counselling" for patients. Though controls on the groups providing such "counselling" this has become both a...

The Supreme Court of the US has declined to hear an appeal of a May 2013 ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that stated the Arizona law that restricted abortions to no later than the 20th week is unconstitutional. The issue at hand was apparently that the Arizona law was unnecessarily...

Link here. Hilarious quote" Funny, coming from the state that has executed more people than any other.

Georgia's house of representatives (or assembly?) has passed HB 954, a strict anti-abortion bill that would, among other things require pregnant women to carry an already dead fetus to term. Here is legislator Terry England's passionate defense of this bill. Oddly enough, the bill does allow an...

In keeping with the GOP's campaign platform of JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.. the Ohio Republicans have introduced a bill to restrict abortion rights. It will make it illegal to have an abortion if a heartbeat can be heard in an ultrasound. If passed, this will effectively limit abortions to 6 weeks...

I wanted to continue this thread because I believe that it is an important topic. I thought that Luke T, Manny, Rand Fan, Art Vandelay, The Central Scrutinizer, Wild Cat, etc... made some great points. I wanted to post my own opinion but felt that it would be lost in the current thread. I was...

Don't know where to begin with this. I am pro-privacy so usually I say abortion is an issue between you and your respective deity or lack thereof. However, the partial birth procedure has always struck me as barbaric in an uncivilized way and I am against it. That said, there are some prickly...

http://www.accessnorthga.com/news/StateFS.asp?ID=68373 Georgia state representative Bobby Franklin, a Republican from suburban Atlanta, has introduced a bill that would require any woman who wants to get an abortion to go through a trial and have a judge sign a death warrant for an "execution"...
