People like Kemp aren’t even killing women because they’re crazy misogynist godbotherers. They’re killing women purely for political and fundraising advantage. I don’t know if there’s a circle in hell.
So life begins when the action of the blood-pumping organ is detectable by medical technology?
Seriously, people, don’t use the “heartbeat” term. It is one loaded with sentimental baggage.
I’ll believe the Anti-Choice crowd is serious about minimizing abortion the same day they:
- Provide universal child-care to working parents.
- Provide extended parental leave for new parents.
- Provide financial support to needy or single parents.
- Support good education and provide birth control options to all.
etc.etc.etc.
Until they start working down the list, they can just fuck off.
The headlines never seem to read “Georgia governor signs bill expanding health care and protects rural hospitals”.
You mean things that lead to more mothers delivering healthy babies?
What a novel concept.
Here’s what Barry Goldwater had to say abortions!
You know if I were a woman of child bearing age in Georgia I would sue the governor and all the state legislators that voted for this bill on the grounds that the money they will use:
- disproportionately effects one sex
- a waste of state money because this bill is not that dissimilar to ones struck down in IA and KY
This is like fighting ALEC all over again. Every state had a go at enacting into law some piece of shit legislation that got crushed, but had to be crushed in state after state. Why don’t they ever think of the money?
Rest assured that already there is an army of attorneys preparing to sue the State of Georgia to stop this law from ever being enforced.
These ridiculous anti-abortion laws might as well be an “attorneys full employment act.”
Yes I know but one of my points was why do state legislatures keep using the same piece of legislation that has already been shot down in other states? Isn’t this the definition of “throwing good money after bad”?
If they weren’t wasting state money on this, they’d actually have to provide services to residents. Can’t have that.
If it’s an outside firm being hired to defend there could be an interesting public corruption case to be made.
Donald Trump’s unfortunate existence is the greatest argument ever FOR abortion.
Equally unenlightened
The right won’t rest until personhood legislation has been passed, and dog knows they’re working on it night and day. Women would deemed to be pregnant with a person, and if she miscarries even after being assaulted and brutalized, she’d be charged with murder. If she chooses abortion of a 7-week old fetus, if she can provide a provider, that’s also deemed murder.
Because it’s not THEIR money, it’s yours, and it’s limitless.
Is the southern states going for the long game?
As in getting ready for the next civil war.
Which of course they would lose, AGAIN
There’s probably not one woman who’s had an abortion, no matter how she conceived, who doesn’t wrestle with aborting the blob. Those same women don’t ever forget or in retrospect regret it.
For the umpteenth time: The anti abortion crown is a cult. Always has been going at least as far back as the 1800’s when they called it infanticide. They’re incapable of seeing any inconsistencies in the professed belief that all life is sacred. They couldn’t care less about any human suffering. They care only about fetuses. Don’t even try to reason with the member of a cult.
