Things that made you laugh today (Political Version)

[Neveragain]

The reason I pick 24 weeks is that’s the point the fetus can be delivered and stands a probable chance of surviving on their own.

That's not acceptable as technology advances that time period becomes less and less. 20 weeks is now considered "viable" outside the womb.

We would be revisiting the law every 5-10 years.

That's not a small minority. Your 80% is bullshit when "under certain circumstances" = roughly 1% of all abortions.

The vast majority of Americans view abortion as a form of birth control as repugnant.

Please, split some more hairs and make some more equivocations. But of those numbers, 48%, 32% and 19%, which is less than a fifth of the sum? Oh yes, THE SMALL MINORITY of 19%.

I believe 21 weeks was the 'arbitrary' number a couple of us had discussed in the other thread

LOL! "Arbitrary" huh? Don't wanna define the "clump of cells" as a human being at that time, or that the "clump of cells" could survive outside the womb at that point.

NOPE! 21 weeks is just the "arbitrary" number you guys made up. I wonder why drauz just didn't go this route? I guess he can learn something from a ghoulish, racist, backwards fuckface such as yourself.

Ok…maybe it’s earlier than 24 weeks. I’m not completely set on that number, but I mean it to be that the baby stands a reasonable odds of survival without intensive life support (like breathing help). I doubt either side of the political spectrum would be totally satisfied, but you get the idea.

I believe 21 weeks was the 'arbitrary' number a couple of us had discussed in the other thread to make the murderous decision as you put it. But I believe an exception has to be made for medically necessary abortions at a later time, one hinging on either the serious illness/death of the mother. Mandatory amniocentesis could also help a great deal in ensuring infants who will die in their infancy shouldn't have to suffer.

We’re getting somewhere but why make mandatory amniocentesis? People can decide that on their own if they want that or not, just as they can decide to go through with a pregnancy or not to a baby that will have Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome are still people. I know a couple parents of Down syndrome children, and both have told me how much joy it has brought to their lives despite the hardship.

Edit: Or even other diseases likely to bring death to a child in infancy…I still think it’s the parent’s decision to test and/or decide that for themselves. Why make that mandatory?

Last: I could compromise to allow an abortion after 24 weeks or whatever number if a doctor deems it medically necessary for the survival of the mother. Those details would have to be worked out, but sure.

I would settle at when brain development starts, 6 weeks.

I've never met someone with Downs that isn't almost always happy.

That’s logical. But playing devils advocate here, and hopefully you understand that I too am morally & personally opposed to abortion… A lot of mothers may not realize they are pregnant within that time, or at least be pretty close to the end of that time period. You can’t even get a sonogram by then. If a mother finds out let say week 4-5, that gives them little time to make perhaps what could be the most important decision in their entire life.

The only one splitting hairs here is you.

Amazing how the alt-left freaks, like yourself, want everyone to move mountains for 7% but when it comes to killing babies the "small minority" no longer matters.

the most important decision in their entire life.

That decision was made when both parties decided to participate in the action of making babies.

The idea that we should be waiting until our late 30's to have children is medical insanity.
