And for another, states like mine are now going to have to provide services to people from other states, in effect subsidizing them. Decisions in some states can have impacts on people in other states. Your state doesn't have to do anything. They can choose to do as they will. Also, wouldn't one hope that fetuses would get proper healthcare in all states without the option of murdering them? 2 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: South Dakota shouldn't have senators!

If you think overturning Roe and banning abortions is about having more babies, then you're not paying attention. And as I have pointed out elsewhere, this can have dire consequences for women who have miscarriages. If people really wanted to reduce the number of abortions, there are proven methods for that. Banning abortions is not one of them, but reducing the number of abortions isn't the point for them anyway.

Fetuses aren't considered persons by the government. And the woman carrying the fetus in essence is being forced to carry the pregnancy to term which is absolutely a violation of bodily autonomy. Would you support a law that required mothers to give up their organs if their child needed a life saving transplant? Would you support forcing people to sign up as organ donors after death? Should a pregnant woman given a diagnosis of likely death by her obstetrician be forced to carry the fetus to term and sacrifice her own life for it? You can have whatever opinion you want on the morality of such choices, but ultimately I will never support forcing a person to violate their bodily autonomy.

I expect they will still provide the care needed for miscarriages, I can't imagine why they would not.

No, I don't think a mother should be forced to carry the baby to term if it would mean the death of the mother, but I would recommend attempting to deliver the baby alive instead of decapitating it then delivering it. End the pregnancy, not the life in all possible cases.

I would imagine pro choice advocates fund raising to cover travel and other expenses to those who can't afford out of state abortion. Tesla, Amazon, etc have announced they will cover these costs. Funny it's not mentioned. Big business is bad!!!!

HappyDays Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 7 minutes ago, Demongyz said: Unless it comes to a vaccine? Poor analogy. No one is legally forced to get vaccinated, as in getting held down and jabbed with a needle. If you don't get vaccinated you lose certain social privileges. There are certain counties in America where if it is discovered that a woman had an abortion she would become a social pariah. That is a consequence of living in society. That isn't the same thing as totally stripping away a person's bodily autonomy and literally forcing them to make a choice they don't want to make.

ALF Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 ‘Alarmed’ Joe Manchin Accepts He’s Been Played by Kavanaugh and Gorsuch “I trusted Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh when they testified under oath that they also believed Roe v. Wade was settled legal precedent and I am alarmed they chose to reject the stability the ruling has provided for two generations of Americans,” Manchin wrote in a statement. The Catholic senator said he’s still anti-abortion but supports legislation to safeguard the rights previously protected by Roe. He said he’s hopeful that Democrats and Republicans can draft such legislation, though there hasn’t been much consensus to do so in the past. https://www.thedailybeast.com/senator-joe-manchin-feels-betrayed-by-brett-kavanaugh-and-neil-gorsuch-after-roe-v-wade-decision

Personally I don't believe abortion is inherently immoral. I respect those that think it is immoral. I would rather the law not force that decision. And for what it's worth I am consistent in that view with regards to all forms of bodily autonomy. 1

End the pregnancy, not the life in all possible cases. But it is the feds who set the law...so now you say that a fetus is not a person in their eyes? How can the feds have it both ways. The only way a law of anti abortion rights is to assume the fetus is a person. Or are they taking a religious approach and inforcing religious beliefs.
