Discussion for article #237119
It takes two to tango, where is the mandatory responsibility for the men?
I would add to this law that doctors must treat a pregnancy as a gunshot wound and inform the police.
Then a paternity investigation would be mandatory to find the biological father, who would then, under penalty of prosecution and jail time, be held responsible for 100% of the financial well being of that child until it reaches the age of 18.
If you can force a woman into being nothing more than a gestation chamber, then we can force men into being ATMs.
This how you “respect” and “defend” the Constitution. If the SCOTUS under it’s Constitutionally granted powers declares Abortion a legal act and woman a right to it what do you do?
Well if you wish to impose your religious beliefs on others against of our Founder’s desire that never happen and you cannot make a SCOTUS granted act illegal…well you do and end run around all that annoying stuff ( Roe and the First ) and just make getting an abortion impossible. You craft law after law that interfere with the doctor patient relationship, direct a physician in the care he provides and cry about Obamacare being a takeover of health care.
This isn’t going to stop. The GOP’ers are going to win this mess. In time you’ll have a GOP’er packed SCOTUS, a GOP’er Congress and POTUS and its all over folks. You think not? They reelected Scott, Walker, Brownback, Le Page and NC elected this Duke Energy creep to run their state. FOX wins and we all lose. GOP’ers lose too because this is a formula for America’s descent.

I certainly feel that way sometimes too. Then I look at the changing demography of the country and remind myself that the white fright freakout since Obama’s election is, in fact, a “tell” that they know they are fucked. Their voting restrictions, gerrymandering and even this “one person, one vote” nonsense are all temporary bandaids for the severe existential crisis they face…and they know it. All this radicalization, denial and end-run nonsense is avoidance behavior, because they desperately don’t want to face the music and do he hard work of admitting that, for many of these issues, they are going to have to give up the ghost in order to survive. Perhaps that’s all happy horseshit I tell myself so I can sleep at night, but I think there’s at least some elements of truth to it.
