2 minutes before birth? Knowing there are no complications? I would be opposed to that. At that point that clump of cells has developed senses and awareness.
However I will happily inform you that not a single country on earth allows that without special circumstances. Nada. None. Zero. The vast majority of countries realize that the real discussion is not if abortion should be allowed or not but up until which point it should be allowed. Most of these countries, actually probably all, then allow exceptions with therapist counseling and alike.
Generally 20 or so weeks is the cut-off point where most countries agree you need to actually state a reason.
I imagine that stating the 2 minutes before birth is meant to evoke a discussion of how long before birth can be okay - as opposed to just if the act itself is. Its a bartering technique. Not a serious request.
Did it happen? It did not. It did not pass. And so yes, my statement stands. And here you're linking the political opposition which is now discussing when rather than if. Is that not EXACTLY what I told you? Sometimes I'm oracle levels of insightful.
Also just to be clear: you're linking me blatant propaganda from a political spokesperson. This is made abundantly clear by them not only renaming the act but also misinforming about what it does. While I don't really mind I hope you keep that in mind yourself. Don't ever only ask a Nazi if Nazis are good people. Get a second source. The same goes if it is the Scouts. Don't ask that organisation to review themselves.
Their "2 minutes before birth" is actually exactly what I said. Not an indefinite ban past 20 week. It also is not called the on-demand-bill but women's protection act.
Please tell me you did consider both sides before this? As a woman this really isn't something you should be blatantly against. And the timeframe? Well you clearly did not know it.
Why would I need to consider both sides? I simply asked a question.
"As a woman this really isn't something you should be blatantly against. "
It's like pulling teeth to just get a straight answer on this site. I wish this site allowed you to ask poll questions, but be able to mute any written replies. I would have given the options..
I have answered your hypothetical and the reality you're basing it on.
The answers to the hypothetical is, was and remains: This is wrong.
The answer to the reality you're basing it on is, was and remains: You're misinformed. Your information lopsided. It is not last minute. It would ultimately be a good thing if some version of this passes. A few adjustments or not.
Now stop acting as if I was ever coy. I have been nothing but forthcoming and understanding with you. If you were after the actual question and not politics you would have made that clear. Make a poll on how far into pregnancy people think is okay and there you have it. Referencing some anti-abortion politician isn't exactly hypothetical what-ifs.
That's too far along the pregnancy. Give the child to the state, don't kill it. Two minutes before birth is much different than a few weeks into the pregnancy. The child at that point can survive outside of the womb. No point in watching the video. If you can't explain your point in your post.
That's the answer to a "hypothetical question" - where you're so ashamed of yourself that you go anon on a pretty much anon app. ☺️

Please tell me you had the brains to watch the video. And your answer was stupid and cowardly. You had two choices. 1. Have the courage to answer a hypothetical question 2. Look stupid and deflect by talking about my anonymity. Being able to answer a hypothetical question is a sign of intelligence. I realize that there's not an abundance of that on this site, and you're living proof. www.cassidy.senate.gov/.../cassidy-votes-against-abortion-on-demand-bill-to-allow-abortion-up-to-birth
Late stage term abortions account for 2% of all abortions. All of them blushing wanting mothers eagerly wanting to embrace a loving child.
As we all know life is not fair. Things happen and create pain and misery. Echos show holes in the brain so painful the baby will never experience falling asleep before dying.
Are you willing to take away a mother's mercy to her own child that can't live longer then a day only to suffer pain and agony? Because that is every single late stage abortion to ever happen
No it isn't. This is just another straw-man argument from zealots. No one has ever advocated this and no one has ever done it. Late term pregnancies are terminated only in extremis when the fetus is not viable or the health of the mother is seriously in danger.
