In my opinion,
I think mother's word is a sufficient substitute.
I'd argue that Christian Science might fall under this doctrine (my MIL is a Christian Scientist), although I am sure the parents would not believe they were killing their child, rather it is in God's hands.
But honest question Wrangor - the bill as laid out does exempt rape/incest from Ultrasound requirement, which appears to be a de facto recognition of the legitimacy of abortion in these instances - I'd be interested in your thoughts on this and whether you believe that a pregnancy borne of rape/incest warrants equal consideration from a moral standpoint as what one might consider a typical unwanted pregnancy (an "oops"). Not to derail the thread, but I have always assumed it should be an all or nothing proposition from a pro-life standpoint, but appears to me some in the pro-life camp waffle/struggle with this concept. Anyway, not to put you on the spot, but am genuinely interested.
But there's a point where a woman isn't allowed to get an abortion by law. Shouldn't the clinic be required to confirm the age of the fetus before aborting?
Look, I'm all for letting chicks get schmortions, but if you're going to ban late-term ones then the ban has to mean something. Otherwise, just make them all legal.
For those arguing against the idea that it isn't just a bunch of cells at 10 weeks and don't worry as Science improves it will become even more obvious. What about the fact that Science already can show that technically it is just a bunch of cells. You can take a sperm and an egg outside of the body, combine it, place it in an artificial womb outside the body and grow it to 10 weeks (if their weren't regulations on this). Then if you would like to go the Delaware an argue that sperm and egg are people you can take embryonic stem cells, or if you prefer with more work pretty much any cell on the body though some are better than others, reverse engineer said cell into a stem cell, take that stem cell and develop it into a sperm and egg. Take that sperm and egg, combine it together, place in the artifical womb and develop it to 10 weeks. The technology is there and it all has to do with the fact to a certain extent it is just science and cells.
good point. Susan Smith was well within her rights as a parent.
Jesus is so happy!!
It's exactly what He always wanted! Ask Wrangor.
It would be oh-so-fitting of current GOP thinking and morals if the girl was forced to have the baby, then her mother was told that their Medicaid had been cut off and they would have to sell all of their possessions to pay for the delivery.
Wow....love your neighbor as yourself. That’s a trip, man. So if you have bought yourself health insurance and your neighbor can’t afford it, shouldn’t you.....ah nevermind...there is some roundabout answer where Wrangor will loop in tax cuts strengthen the economy teach a man to fish and work harder
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
