That’s because any ground given here will continually be eroded by advancements in technology that are just around the corner. Unless we are willing to accept that because one 16-week fetus might have made it to term through huge technological intervention, that there should be no abortions prior to that point, then…

With medical technology advances, the viability line will continue to get lower and lower. As I mentioned already there are fetuses that live to become babies after being delivered at 22 weeks. http://www.newsweek.com/babies-born-22…

That is fine and I would agree with that completely, but then legally we have to ensure that the legislation’s scope is limited to the physical damage against the individual carrying the fetus. Calling it murder on the fetus is a slope that will absolutely lead to further restrictions on abortion and we should fight…

Again I hear you but my problem with this is, where do you stop? Technology will keep improving and babies will be viable earlier and earlier. Some babies born at 22 weeks have survived recently: http://www.newsweek.com/babies-born-22…

So discrimination against Muslims is ok then? Got it

Exactly. The precedent is what the republicans are trying to get here - that a ball of unviable cells is worthy of personhood rights. As the saying goes, don’t let the camel’s nose under the tent.

I oppose any law which gives the same rights to a ball of unviable cells as it gives to a living, breathing person. These laws seem innocuous but in reality they are just part of the Republicans scheming to classify a bunch of unviable cells as a living sentient being.

Why is finding a woman in the refugee photos like playing where’s waldo?

It is beyond irritating that this creepy rapist is still getting awards. I’m a totally sex positive chick and all for a good porn but lets be honest the industry really needed to send one message here to support women and they sent the opposite one instead.

This type of shaming the victim does absolutely no one any good. Yes this girl had some issues and the story didn’t check out. But I’m willing to believe that something did happen and she just fudged the details a little. These guys are not innocent! Nevertheless, there’s no doubt that her providing false story has…

Absolutely ridiculous that she would be charged with a crime here! No doubt if we had better access to abortions early, this could have easily been avoided.

This is a total BS argument. If I’m carrying a fetus, it’s a fetus as long as it’s inside me and sucking resources off *MY* body through the umbilical.

Fair enough :) I definitely do think there’s an amazing kind of brilliance that the best NFL QB’s show, though

I think Madeleine must be a Jets fan ;-P

Do you really think this isn’t true?

Maybe so, but he’s the GOAT! Go Pats!

I’m not a fan of Bush at all, but at the time I did smile that he could make a self-deprecating joke about the incident.

“Radicalization comes from hopelessness and hatred” - We need to ask the question why so many individuals from middle class upbringings in western countries feel the need to run and join ISIS then.

Violence with a political agenda is terrorism. Full Stop! So it’s time that we let the politicians know that they have a duty and obligation to treat this terrorism with the same level of diligence as any other. And vs. the terrorism threat from the other religious extremists, this type should actually be much easier…
