Pro Life / Pro Choice Debate

Last minute play to try and peel off some newly registered female voters. See, it's not a total ban we are backing while it's politically expedient.
 
So this is supposed to undue the total abortion bans that have been enacted in multiple states already?

I doubt it. To me it looks like the inverse of Roe, where states will be able to set further limits if they want, but no state will be allowed to permit abortions after 20 weeks.
 
I'll be interested to see the specifics - given the timing, it's obviously a message bill for the midterms. And so many right wing Senate hopefuls are suddenly trying to recast their position as being opposed to late term abortion.
 
For those of you that are in Guilford Co....

Recently in Greensboro, an antiabortion protester from Triad Coalition for Life and Sidewalk Advocates for Life intentionally drove his car into clinic escorts, hitting one of the clinic volunteer escorts. Police were called out but chose not to file any charges, leaving the escort to take legal action on her own. Charges have been filed but the protester has only been charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon; he has not been charged for anything related to violating the Federal FACE act or a North Carolina General Statute that protects access to healthcare clinics (General Statute 14-277.4).

The Guilford County District Attorney, Avery Crump, is in charge of this case. We need the DA to consider all of the details of this case and consider charges related to the violation of NC General Statute 14-277.4. In addition to the Assault with a Deadly Weapon charge, the DA should consider not just banning him from the clinic property but within 100 feet of the edge of the property, as he ran his car into patient escorts who were standing just off-property to guide cars to the clinic. She also should consider that Triad Coalition for Life and Sidewalk Advocates for Life, organizations that train and coordinate the protesters, may bear some responsibility for the environment they’ve created outside of the clinic and for the behavior of their own volunteers.

So it's a group that is training people on how to intimidate people, threaten violence, and commit violence for political purposes.

Seems like terrorists.
 
West Virginia passed a near-total abortion ban.
 
May be a Twitter screenshot of one or more people and text that says 'Dr. Dana Ménard @Shufflersunite The cat who was completely obsessed with my bump when I was pregnant is quite uninterested in the baby now that she's out. It's a weird way to find out that my cat is a Republican.'
 
wife's colleague tried to have her ovaries removed when she was 25 b/c of health complications and the Dr. told her she had to either get a signed letter from her husband (not married) or have 5 kids.

That was one doctor. Was she able to find another doctor in the world who would perform the surgery ?

I doubt this is your point but, before we start down the path of "See fetuses are expressive and emotional and therefore abortion is murder..." the study was done late 3rd trimester pregnancies " Pregnant women and their fetuses based in the northeast of England were involved in this study from 32 to 36 weeks’ gestation." That is very late in the pregnancy and almost no abortions happen at that late stage unless some major medical problem arises for the mother or baby and even then most would be induced and treated as premature birth in the NICU. Cheek muscles required to be expressive don't develop until after 24 weeks gestation and aren't fully functional until 32 weeks.
 
I don't really have a point except that I think this study is interesting and tangentially related to the thread topic. I don't disagree with you.
