Nope. In total,
61% of Americans think abortion should remain legal (27% in all cases, 34% in most cases). In that same article, it's only 38% of Americans who think abortion should be illegal (12% in all cases, 26% in most cases)
You're asking the wrong question. Again. Yes, 61% say it should be legal. That number drops considerably when you add "in the second or third trimester". "34% in most cases" is how that's reflected in the article you posted.
So, by this logic, do you feel that same-sex marriage, consensual gay sex, and contraception shouldn't be supported?
Actually I believe the government should get out of the marriage business entirely. I don't give a rat's ass if you want to marry a man or a woman or a dog or a mop or anything else. And unlike abortion, marriage does not involve deciding whether an innocent third party lives or dies.
While it is a medical procedure, the two are not even in the same league. Abortions can save lives, lobotomies **** up lives. Try again.
Hey, I thought we were ignoring morality for a moment here. Who gives a crap if lobotomies **** up lives. It's a medical procedure and therefore should be available to everyone in all circumstances, right?
Yes, abortion can save lives. In the so exceedingly rare that it may as well be a non-issue and getting rarer set of circumstances where the mother's life may be in danger if she carries the baby all the way to birth. And again, most abortion laws have an exception built in for those circumstances anyway, so you're just barking at nothing again.
Here's another statistic for you. The percentage of abortions performed with the life or health of the mother being in danger given as the reason for doing so accounts for only about slightly over 1% of all abortions. Even the research arm of planned parenthood only got that number up to about 4% by vaguely referring to health problems including non-life threatening ones. The number is even lower for **** and incest. Almost all abortions in the U.S. are done for social or economic reasons.
Keep drinking that Fox News Aide, man. I never said abortion is rare but goddamn yes we do want safe and legal because otherwise WE CAN FUCKING DIE. But who cares about another dead woman, as long as that baby lives, right?
Uh huh. OMG WE ALL GONNA DIE IF WE CAN'T KILL BABIES!!!!
Might want to recheck who it is that's drinking kool-aid.
This is what PISSES me off the most about your post because you CLEARLY you don't know or don't want to know. The very state i live in currently (Texas) makes ABSOLUTELY NO GODDAMN EXCEPTION.
First of all, that's a lie. The Texas law does in fact include a medical emergency exception, though it's pretty narrow and problematic as demonstrated by the example you yourself provided.
Second, Texas is not "most". You have a problem with the Texas law? Then fight the Texas law.
Other states you mentioned, Alabama left no exceptions deliberately just so they could challenge Roe v Wade. Now there's talk of replacing that ban with one that includes exceptions. We'll have to wait and see how that shakes out. Arkansas, again, now that Roe is overturned, some talk of adding exceptions but doesn't sound as serious about it as Alabama. In every case, there is an exception for the life of the mother, including Oklahoma which I will cover now.
The reason I'm addressing Oklahoma separately is because Oklahoma is very confused at the moment. You see, one of the campaign promises the governor made would be that he would sign every abortion ban that came across his desk, and he has kept his word. The problem is that in the past year, no less than 5 different contradictory abortion bans have been signed into law and nobody is sure which laws are actually in effect. Not the governer, nor the legislature, nor the DAs or the clinics and hospitals. The last two laws were just weeks apart from each other. One of those has exceptions for **** and incest, the other does not.
How is it that when it comes to abortion, it's "think of the children because it's murder" but when ACTUAL CHILDREN get murdered in schools and people are calling for stricter laws about guns..... ****ing crickets? Or "Not mah guns! I have THE RIGHT! It's in the 2nd Amendment!" First of all, it says "arms," not AR-15s.... Second of all, when it comes to 6-10 year olds, **** 'em, right? As long as they can have their guns....
All dogs are animals, but not all animals are dogs. That's a basic lesson in logic. The second amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms. AR-15s are arms. It doesn't have to specifically mention AR-15s because they are included by default and you would need to make a very, VERY convincing case as to why AR-15s in particular should be excluded. There's also that nagging fact that had the teachers been armed, perhaps not so many 6-10 year olds would have died. Or maybe if the police officers (good guys with guns) actually did their jobs and used their guns to stop the killer. Yeah, in short, oranges aren't even involved here. You're trying to make an apples to gorillas comparison.
Abortion is not mentioned in the constitution. Abortion is not implied in the constitution. Abortion isn't attached to any other right, except perhaps the right to life which, guess what, kinda says we shouldn't be doing abortions.
The right has you believing that women are completely cold and callous when we make these decisions when it's so much more complex than that.
Only the ones that are completely cold and callous when they make those decisions. See, unlike the woke, I don't judge people by category like that. Being a woman just means you're a woman, and aside from a few wholly biological factors, that is about the sum total of what that tells me about you. So, basically, it means absolutely nothing to me because it's not relevant to this discussion.
