  • Re: The "I Can't Believe There's No Abortion Thread" Abortion Thread

    Hmm...

    In many jurisdictions, if a person kills a pregnant woman, the killer is charged with two counts of homicide, one for the mother and one for the unborn child (e.g., Scott Peterson, plenty of others).

    Yet if only the unborn child dies.....

      Except for people who work for NARAL or Planned Parenthood, it appears that the majority of women today who support abortion rights are post-menopausal. Natural selection at work, eh?
      Holy shiat. This post is not only factually wrong but such patronizing misogyny wrapped up in pseudo science that I can't believe you actually posted it.

      The majority of 18-34 year olds are pro choice. Pro choice declines with age, likely because older people are also more religious.

      The rest just deserves a facepalm.

        How does a prosecutor decide to add this charge? Does it work? Is there any sort of legal precedent that states after x number of weeks gestation they can charge? Not trying to troll but I've never quite grasped how this concept is utilized sometimes but not others.

          I don't know where you are at, but in Minnesota there is no need to show that the pregnant mother has been killed if you can show the unborn child was killed. I don't remember if it happened in Minnesota, or elsewhere, but I recall a news story about a guy who gave his wife/girlfriend an abortion pill or something that caused her fetus to abort. She was still alive but I think he was prosecuted for murder. It just works out that in most of these cases the jerk manages to kill both.

          I think in Minnesota it starts with conception, which raises lots of interesting questions.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          • Saw a meme yesterday that said "not only should abortion be illegal, it should be unthinkable."

                            What are you doing to make unthinkable? Supporting comprehensive sex education? Access to birth control? Programs that would help the mother care for the child, if this is a financial issue?

                            Or is this just a case of a pro-life group unilaterally trying to impose their will?

                              Perhaps.

                              Biochem will eventually give women complete control. Soon they really will have "something that shuts that down right there."

                              And hopefully that means way fewer Thumpers.
