South Carolina and Nebraska, two conservative states that have been pushing to ban abortion, on Thursday both failed to pass new bills prohibiting the procedure, preserving wide access to abortion in those states and handing surprise victories to abortion rights advocates.

Looks like the republican agenda to ban abortion isn’t really wanted.

Despite what you may think, I don’t believe the majority of conservatives seek an outright ban on abortion. We definitely could come to a compromise that the majority could live with, but the radical ends of the political spectrum are dominating the conversation.

Edit: On a personal note I am morally opposed to abortion unless it’s medically necessary, but I recognize my value system may be different than others & this is a complicated issue.

Yet, your politicians keep trying to push it, or something damn near close to it.

Your politicians keep trying to push pedophilia, or something damn near close to it.

See how that works?

And what exactly does this whataboutism have to do with the topic at hand?

It's not whataboutism, whatever the fuck that means. I was just demonstrating how retarded your argument is.

Some do, yes.

To be fair…some of your politicians are pushing to have abortions be used as a legal birth control option right up to the point of birth (State of NY for example). Most Americans are not cool with that including liberals.

This is what I meant by the radical ends of the political spectrum are dominating the discussion and issue.

Yeah, definitely for sure. We need to meet in the middle somehow. I’m pro abortion up to a point that an abortion should not be an option unless the mothers life is in jeopardy. When that is exactly I’m not quite sure. I’m guessing like 16 weeks. At the end of the day it’s the woman’s body, and she should have control over her own body.

Legally, I 100% agree with this as I believe the majority of people do as well.

Why can’t we make this happen? Because we have state politicians engaged in a culture war pissing match fighting with other state politicians who are all trying to 1up each other. It’s stupid.

I support abortion mainly because most abortions are gotten by leftists.

[Neveragain]

Because some of us are unwilling to compromise with the taking of an innocent human life. If you are willing to compromise, we can start by removing the right to life from our founding documents. Because, that is what you are compromising.

Most Republicans don't want it, the vast majority of Americans want to preserve a right to abortion and yet that single issue has hamstrung the Republican Party in the last midterm and likely will in the 2024 General Election as well. It's important to remember that a fraction of Republicans are the traditionalist, bible-thumping Conservatives that are trying to drag the entire country kicking and screaming back into the Dark Ages. Because of ongoing losses to membership roles, Republicans are having to compromise with their ilk in order to compete against growing Democrat dominance.

Morally and ethically I do understand your position.

The legal issue though gets complicated when you try to define when human life begins (I believe that it’s conception) and women having medical autonomy. I believe you and I would find agreement on these issues, but we can both recognize there are others that do not.

Further, I think it is more atrocious to abort a fetus/infant in say late third trimester than it is in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Part of my motivation to compromise is to protect a fetus with a developed brain & capability of feeling emotions & pain. More people can agree aborting those developed infants/fetuses (excluding fringe cases where it’s medically necessary or the infant is certain to die). So I say let’s start there and focus more on what we can agree on vs making it an absolute all or nothing.

It kinda cracks me up when leftists believe in their heart of hearts the future belongs to them & traditional conservative social values are dying off. You mean this ideology that encourages abortions, is the party of lgbtq+, are weak & found unattractive by the opposite sex for mating (Seran), and people who can’t talk to each other in real life for fear of being offensive/offended is the certain future for our country? Meanwhile I have 6 kids who I love, teach, and mentor…

Kind of like they dragged us back into the dark ages when they said black people are human beings and deserve the same rights as other human beings?

Imagine the crime rate without abortion.

Imagine a world where tards like Seran was aborted.

Keep compromising with them and they get everything they want. They certainly will NEVER compromise with you.

Conservatives have spent 50 years "compromising", how has that worked out?

What's wrong with leftists effectively aborting themselves though? Sounds to me like a plague that will eventually cure itself.

We don't need millions more Serans running around than we already have, for example.

Your politicians keep trying to push it, or something damn near close to being able to get an abortion up to and including the time of birth.

This was the pendulum coming back to normal.

[Parkbandit]

At the end of the day it’s the woman’s body, and she should have control over her own body.

Literally the dumbest argument of them all... Seran illustrated this point to perfection.

I understand your perspective, though, if that were the case our children now wouldn't be asking themselves "If I cut of my body parts can I become something I'm not?"

Seran’s retardation may or may not be genetic, but his leftist ideology was taught to him. Infants are innocent from all that. Americans love a good underdog story of someone that was born into shitty conditions and made something of their life. While children often adopt political ideology from their parents, that is not always the case. We could be denying this world of the next Thomas Sowell. The way we defeat leftism is exposing their ideology for what it really is and showing the world a better way to live.

We could, but best case we'd miss out on 582097492304372 more Serans and maybe 1 Sowell or something. And once there are enough Serans running around and heavily outnumber normal people even more than they already do, everything will catastrophically crumble for real, and then none of this will matter anyway on either side.

Something something for the greater good, something something.

Biggest danger to unborn black children is pro abortion democrats. The stats don't lie. Pro-abortionists are raging racists.

Yeah I see your point.

Way I see it…I will forever be opposed morally to abortions, but I also recognize that on many things people have to make their own choices. It’s like in Batman Begins…”I won’t kill you” (punish you myself for making a serious immoral act on this particular subject) “but I don’t have to save you” (I believe you will have to answer for this mortal sin before God).

Another concept leftist can’t seem to comprehend is that you can not escape personal accountability. It will catch up with you sooner or later.

Makes sense, since democrats are also the biggest danger to black people who have already been born.

False.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

It is 50/50 on legal under certain circumstances. 35% want it completely legal under all circumstances, and 13% want it illegal under all circumstances.

None of those numbers are the vast majority of anything.

[Seran]

Kind of like they dragged us back into the dark ages when they said black people are human beings and deserve the same rights as other human beings?

You seem to forget that it was Democrat majorities which passed both the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and Civil Rights Act of 1964
I can understand your lying to fit your political narrative like you always do. Even funnier was the number of 'fake Democrats' from the deeply conservative southern states which immediately left for the Republican party.

You might want to read up on those acts... there was one party that was against that legislation.

SPOILER: It was not the Republicans.

1965 voting rights act, voting records:

The House approved this conference report version of the bill on August 3 by a 328–74 vote (Democrats 217–54, Republicans 111–20), and the Senate passed it on August 4 by a 79–18 vote (Democrats 49–17, Republicans 30–1).

In the House, 25% of Democrats voted against the act and 17% of Republicans voted against the bill. In the senate 34% of Democrats voted against the act and 3% of Republicans voted against the bill.


1964 civil rights act, voting records:

The Democratic supermajority in the Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The Republicans, on the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%). Thus, the no vote consisted of 78% Democrats. Further, the infamous 74-day filibuster was led by the Southern Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the act.

By percent of party representatives, Democrats overwhelmingly voted against both acts.

I can understand your lying to fit your political narrative, like you always do.

[Parkbandit]

Are you denying that more Democrats than Republicans voted for both the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act?

No, I am saying that more Democrats voted AGAINST them than Republicans... which is why I said "there was one party that was against that legislation"

To be fair, I was expecting "BUT TEH PARTIES MAGICALLY SWITCHED!" response.. can it be possible that even the Retard Champion realizes how fucking retarded that "explanation" is???

[Elanthil]

Something I think you people don't realize is that the Democratic party of the 1960s was the conservative party, while Republicans were more garrulous. You cannot award accolades or shade to either party based on what they were like in the 60s.
