Why is abortion illegal in half of the US?

[Anonymous]

I know it’s states rights but it’s kind of dumb. If you have the choice to make it legal it seems like a no brainer for governors. I am a man without political experience, maybe women are more pro life. I don’t understand.

[lightbulb27]

Probably on religious grounds that the unborn is a life and has it's own rights, eventhough cannot speak or function at such point. No doubt it's a life... qustion is.. will mom be there to care for them... or some mom.

Tough time to be a woman. I'm with Jesus on this one... I walk by people, pray for them, and what they do with their life is their own business. If a woman wants to execute their offspring then I hand them a sharp instrument and/or a robot abortion machine, a Japanese WWII video showing hari kari, and wish good luck.

That alone, would solve a lot of problems. She has the option of killing the guy (s), killing herself, killing the unborn (if skilled enough)... or deciding everyone lives. That's an amazing power to have... which women have... life and death. Doesn't get much better than that does it? I wouldn't want to be a woman, what a tough burden to bare... or joy, all depends. Idiot guys cause lot of problems... as to idiot women.

Oops... should it be "birthing person" ... not woman, didn't mean to offend any "mens". If you men's uteruses are all jacked up, you better stop messing around with those women.

Gotta feel sad for unborn... humans are just sucky...

Jesus... take the wheel... cause my sarcasm isn't helping save any lives.

The fourteenth amendment to the constitution clearly mentions that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Black's Law Dictionary defines a person as 1. A human being. 2. An entity (such as a corporation) that is recognized by law as having the rights and duties of a human being. 3. The living body of a human being. Under 4 U. S. Code § 101 - Oath by members of legislatures and officers every member of a State legislature, and every executive and judicial officer of a State, shall, before he proceeds to execute the duties of his office, take an oath in the following form, to wit: “I, A B, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States.”. Thus governors are duty bound to protect the right to life of all persons (human beings) within their jurisdiction. Any governor that allows abortion in their state would be directly violating constitutional law and their oath to support the Constitution of the United States.

If you are duty bound to support the constitution of your country and you show no loyalty then you are in fact committing treason. In the United States, treason is punishable by death. The three approved methods for execution for treason are hanging by the neck, firing squad, or electrocution. Not too many people like those possible options.

It's hilarious to read all the morons spout off about abortion being illegal as if it is a form of oppression, when in fact it is the people that wrote the constitution to limit government power to prevent oppression, you know like a government that would approve of and allow the killing of people within it's jurisdiction without due process of law. The laws are there to stop the government. The people that follow the constitution during their service in office are respecting the will of the people and understand their limited power.

They don’t understand that real religion is philanthropy and concern and acceptance, not theology or complicated guidelines. Most of the people who claim to be religious, have not mastered even 10% of the bible teachings.

I’ve met people who disrespect almost everyone while claiming to fear God. The Jewish bible says fearing God involves respecting unimportant people, and that if you only respect powerful ones, you’re an idolator and a sycophant.

[ApplePie409]

At the federal level, abortion is legal up until moments before birth.

And soon it will be a year or two after birth. "infanticide"

And Chucky will be 250 years old and still in the Senate, and leading the charge.

Because Roe v Wade got overturned. Next will be traveling to another state for the termination.

While I don't support abortion I'll stand firm to protect your right to make the choice. At the end of the day we all face God on an equal stage.

St Paul said "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23). My only hope is in the Cross of Christ and His Resurrection.

I have sinned.
I fall hopelessly short of God's standards.

As a Christian man, I wouldn't encourage anyone to end the life in the womb. But I won't condemn anyone who does.

[normalice]

Because people who can do nothing of value seek validation by controlling other people's access to the things they need. Food, water, air, internet, medical care, validation, and so on down the list until you find sex. It drives them mad that they can't control men's access to women just by telling women to behave a certian way so they instead seek to punish women for misbehavior. If they could force a woman to adopt any time she gave a blowjob out of wedlock they absolutely would.

[Siri137]

What on Earth are you rambling on about?

[normalice]

Which part were you confused by?

[Siri137]

All of it. Who is trying to control anyone's access to anything? This isn't about "control", but the protection of innocent human life. Would you also argue for the "right" of a murderer to kill his victims as well? That would make as much sense as abortion does. The deliberate taking of human life is always immoral, and yes, that includes the death penalty and war.

[normalice]

@Siri137 so, let's start with the first sentence. Do you understand what the word "because" means?

[Siri137]

You have no answer. Just as I thought.

[normalice]

@Siri137 I asked where you were confused and you said "all of it" so I'm walking you through it to help you understand. That assumes, of course, that you are trying to understand, and aren't just pretending to be confused by plain facts because you don't like them.

[Siri137]

Don't be patronising. You know what I mean. Your original comment here was nonsense, and you know it.

[normalice]

@siri137I say rather i know that you are programmed to refuse to admit it. These well documented matters of fact upset you because it goes against the narrative you need to vomit at people to sneak your subsidies out of our tax coffers. That's all this is.

[FunkyMonkee]

There's only 3 things I don't agree with republicans on: abortion, transsexuals and religion. Other than that, I'm 100% behind them!!
Abortion SHOULD be legal.
Transsexuals are NOT mental cases that chop off their dick.
Religion IS man-made bullshit and should be done away with for the betterment of mankind! Every war we've ever had was started because of religion!

[Twalli]

So SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade figuring that most people didn't like it so states could outlaw it. Every state that left the choice up to voters has abortion legal. Now they want another case regarding it to be brought up while they are still mostly conservative to bring it back under federal control and outlaw it.

[Summeroflove]

Because there is that percent of women who want to sleep around and not deal with having kids. It’s the same as men who run off and never pay child support. Deadbeats wanna sleep around and not deal with the consequences.

[strateguy632]

only 15 states limit abortion, not half that would be 25. but more states need to save the helpless victims called human fetus. many abortions are for age 14 why don't their parents warn them?

[exitseven]

Abortion laws have gone back to the states and it is up-to-date the state legislatures to decide the parameters of abortion. Some states have different opinions about it than others

[TonyMetal___86]

Because some states do have people with brains more than people without one!
It must be illegal everywhere...

[CuriousMufuxka]

Doesn't really matter. Want that zygote gone? Roll on down to Dr. Hood. That mufucka'll vacuum out all evidence and probably get ya a good deal on an unregistered.45.

[DrPepper12]

Cuz retrograde bible thumping cult following cucked dimwits are sheeple and enjoy it

[handsomelad70]

A Supreme Court chock-a-block of religious fanatics and generally reactionaries.

[AngryCarl]

Because Republicans are funded by people who want to ban abortion.

[In_Trance]

It's an overbearing control tactic used by the church and the state

[QuietRunner]

I hope abortion is legal enough so parents can abort adult children that still live in the house

[Anonymous]

Because only half of states care about lives of innocent, unborn children.

[Anonymous]

You can get a pill to terminate a pregnancy in any state.

[Alex-Snow]

Because of the GOP

[jahaims]

Different people have different morals

[BarryLiverstone]

I know you don’t understand

[RedInnocent69]

Because Republicans like irony.

[Anonymous]

White male MAGA politicians

[Agape93]

Because of. tyrants.

[SolitarySolace]

Thou shalt not kill

[SolitarySolace]

Women already have too much power now they just want power over whether a man can even be a father or not. Let alone have the power to play god and decide if a life should even exist or not. How condescending can a woman get?
