Extremist pro-life: Can't have an abortion at any stage in the unborn child's development, under any circumstances, with no exceptions.
Extremist pro-choice: Can have an abortion at any stage in the unborn child's development, for any reason.
Both sides are stupid, except one of them involves killing.
They both involve killing.
It makes termination of tubal or molar pregnancy illegal, even though the embryo could never grow to be a fetus, well alone a baby, and will most likely kill the mother if there is no medical intervention.
Under medical complications, now it is the woman's life that will be sacrificed in favor of the embryo which may not even be capable of life. 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage. This bill will make these women into criminals.
It also makes IED birth control devices and makes the morning after pill and abortion illegal even in cases of rape or incest. Would you really want the seed of your rapist growing inside of you and knowing you're bringing more of their genes into this world? It's disgusting, and I absolutely would not do it myself.
An embryo is not capable of surviving outside until past 20 weeks. And honestly, I think abortion should be legal until then, unless there are medical concerns for the mother or under cases of something like rape or incest.
It's not like the woman is going to be killed if she has it. Yeah, it's not her choice to be raped. And yeah, it would make her feel awful if she had to have it.
It might (see above), and not only that but it may give her hideous stretch marks, make her lose her figure for life, change her hormones and stretch her pussy to a point it'll never be as tight again. Or worse, she could have a c-section and a massive scar for the rest of her life.
Who's to say that a fetus that may not even survive is more important than a fully grown woman with family, loved ones, experience, and a life already? A fetus loses nothing if it dies. It has experienced nothing. It isn't even self aware or conscious yet. Killing the mother in favor of a fetus is ridiculous.
In the wild, animals even eat their young if they look weak or sickly, or leave them to die. And here, we actually want to kill the mother so that they can survive... that's so stupid it's absurd.
In the end, this bill accomplishes nothing. So we exchange one life for another, a life is still taken. All this bill does accomplish is taking away the rights of American citizens.
It is unconstitutional, and does not deserve a place in our modern age of reason. What's worse, a controversial piece of legislation like this does not represent the people. Senators were not elected to dictate our lives. Senators were elected to represent the people. If a senator is representing their own moral or religious beliefs, then they are not doing their job. When over half the population does not agree to such legislation, one should question whether now is the proper time to pass such a thing into law to begin with. It's forcing your beliefs onto others, and until such a time that it has a solid majority, it should not come to pass.
Something like this should not be decided by a few men and women to begin with. There should be a widely publicized public referendum where everyone can have a say and the people can actually decide what they want for themselves, not some representative passing their own dogmas onto others.
All it is is forcing your beliefs onto others. So you don't want your baby aborted? You don't do it. Someone else does? They can. It isn't your decision. It's not your body, your life or your health. It's theirs. It's their genetic code being passed on. It is their right whether it will be done or not, not you nor any lawmaker.
