So you would support forcing women who want abortions to become mothers anyway? Sure, they don’t have to remain pregnant, give birth, raise a child, or go through the heartbreak of giving a kid up for adoption. But we would be forced to have a child running around out there when that is expressly not what we wanted. I…

I have argued with that guy or someone like that before. He’s a nut.

It’s not happening.

You are crazy and judgmental on top of it. Aborting a fetus is not killing a child for the sake of killing. That’s nuts. I not only don’t want pregnancy, I don’t want children, period. I don’t want children that I never see that are running around out there somewhere, and no matter how much you don’t like it, I have…

No, I didn’t miss your point. In your original post I was hoping you weren’t a troll, and answered you, even though I had reservations. But now you’ve confirmed my suspicions. There is no parallel in what you are saying. And there is no such thing as 9 month abortions, unless they are obtained illegally. But I’m…

The bottom line is absolutely no one is having an abortion at 8 months 29 days because the changed their mind. Something like 99% of abortions after 20 weeks are due to fetal anomalies that are not compatible with life. So to answer your question, no, abortions are not to the left what guns are to the right. There are…

because the more sex, the bigger your labia minora grow? that doesn’t make any fucking sense. (not that I’d expect some purity-ring pushing misogynist to make sense in this arena.)

When I had my first anatomy scan at 20 weeks, the doctor saw an anomaly with my son’s heart and presented me with a VERY grim prognosis.

Now he just needs to choose one of these:

I’m an Oklahoman, and while I and my friends have been aghast at this, we are also the polar opposite of surprised. My shameful home state is the poster child of pulling bullshit like this.

Thanks, but it was one of those “little blessings” - my first kid was just shy of 11 months old at the time. (I learned that, despite what my crunchy friends told me, breast feeding was not a legitimate birth control method.)

They should post free birth control dispensers instead, if the goal is really to reduce the number of abortions.

The whole “fetal heartbeat” thing drives me nuts. I had a very, very early term miscarriage (about 6 weeks). The doctor had detected a “heartbeat” at the office visit, but I started hemorrhaging a couple of days later. There was no tiny mini-baby or really anything recognizable. Just a lot of bleeding to the point…

Yes— he did this for the optics. You set up a big egregious “no way” bill to distract everyone’s attention from the extremist legislature you’re really trying to push through. And then you get to be seen swatting it down, so you can say “See? I’m not an extremist.”

A pregnant woman typically has the first detailed anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Many fetal anomalies that are incompatible with life are not discovered prior to this ban.

This monster is all about forcing things.

Dear Republicans in Ohio:

The heartbeat bill was never the real issue, it would have gotten laughed out of court. This bill is the way more insidious one, and will likely be the test case brought to the supreme court. Kasich is scary because he’s smart.

Oh fuck that. Only a monster would force a woman to carry a non-viable fetus to term.
