Soooo, if according to her women don't want to get abortions, then how exactly does she think that abortions happen? Does Planned Parenthood jump out of bushes to kidnap pregnant women and drag them kicking and screaming to the clinics?

Because it has never been about "babies". All of these bills are about controlling women and their sexuality. If is really was about children, all abortion would be illegal regardless of how conception came to be. By cherry picking through who they deem worthy of an abortion and who they do not though, they completely…

Artifacts from the underlying reason behind the genesis of the "pro-life" movement: those are all situations where the woman didn't choose to have sex. The pregnant women seeking an abortion for either of these reasons might not be a terrible slut who needs punished!

There are always exceptions for rape and incest because they know none of their laws would have a chance in hell if they didn't have those provisions, and also it would be politically damaging to be on that side. In their perfect world though, women would not be able to obtain an abortion because of rape or incest.…

- 20 weeks is around the time when standard fetal imaging technology can show neough detail to determine if the fetus has on or more severe defects. Like no brain.

If you sink two dozen doctors and a few million dollars into a 20-week-old premature baby, it has a slim chance of living.

From what I've read it depends heavily on what sort of relation the two parties have.

But generally yeah you're right, the risk is not the way people imagine it. The reason it's my guess is that there is nothing Republicans hate more than helping those in need, and who is more in need than people who are not able to…

Most abortions are done before 20 weeks (99% according to most estimates). When an abortion is performed at 20 weeks, by and large it's because of exceptional circumstances: major birth defect, dead fetus, etc, and these problems are not discovered until 20 weeks. Also keep in mind that, thanks to TRAP laws, abortions…

because most, if not all abortions that happen after 20 weeks are because fetal abnormalities or life of the mother anyway. Women just don't wake up at 20 weeks and are like 'fuck being pregnant anymore' and get an abortion. At 20 weeks the pregnancy is a wanted one. Putting limits on this time frame makes a very…

It's nearly a month sooner than SCOTUS-approved constitutional and medically advised abortion limitations on fetal viability.

I imagine because they envision a world where plenty of developmentally challenged kids are living off the taxpayers dime

What crown is she casting? Who the fuck does she think she is? I understand it's a turn of phrase borrowed from Revelations, but honestly: who the fuck does she think she is?

Why are there always exceptions for incest? I don't understand that line of reasoning. We love potential babies, so you can't have an abortion, unless I guess if it's rape, because then it's only 98% the woman's fault (insert standard excuses). So where do they get the incest loop hole? Do they think that's the only…

Jesus loves them as part of his flock but hates them for being so stupid.

I should note that the admitting privileges bill in the Senate looks to have died in committee last night, according to the Shavers themselves: http://www.operationrescue.org/archives/crazy…

No, because then she'd be a hysterical woman.

Medically, it's a neck ridge.

Nancy Pelosi should have done this:

Okay, honestly, boy or girl, the name Lindsay sucks.
