Hundreds Show Up for Impromptu Abortion Rights Rally Tuesday

GT - I agree. Taking away women's rights, not just ruling against them, but actually taking them away, will and should lead to a mass revolt.

One would hope GT and Sac. But this country has proven that it doesn't care about women's rights, minority rights, LGBTQ rights, and so on. Brace for the worst.

We should Stop the Steal of these rights!!!!

Cute, at best.

Last reported in during confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, not all the accusers claims of rape were investigated. Can the investigation be reopened by Biden? As for Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett did they commit perjury during confirmation hearings? As for Thomas, was he aiding sedition by providing legal advice to overturn the election, is this being investigated?

I wonder if you have every had one, or known someone whos as had one?

this isnt netflix, this is health.

This isn’t health it’s Edhat

........KID, no this is an article discussing abortion rights ( health rights ) protests ON edhat.

hopefully you can see the difference.

I've seen videos of lots of medical procedures and those procedures are decisions made by the patient and their doctor. It's none of my business why they had the procedure.

Ever watch a factory farm video? Why is that sort of brutality legal? I think an adult cow has a lot more ability to suffer than a fetus.

How many of us walked or drove a friend to an abortion (me), or have had one ourselves?

Had one and paid for and cared for two of my friends. Also worked at PP for several years.

What possibly makes you say/think that? The court is (probably) correctly putting the choice back in the hands of the people. We live in California and will of course vote to keep abortion and not allow the death penalty. Texas will likely do the opposite. Its a state issue… and one that will make most of us feel better about choosing to live here instead of Texas or Florida…

DUKE - but what about the women in Texas or Florida? Do we just feel bad about them losing their rights? Do we just stand by and say nothing?

Duke - Autonomy of a woman's body is a fundamental human right, not a state issue. Why would the state come between a woman and her physician? That is Communism. Although if it helps you envelope it in an feeling and uncaring term like then you do you.

DUKE - "Its a state issue" - since when should women's rights and control of their own body be a "state issue?" Control of your body should be a fundamental, federally protected right.

DUKE: Explain to me why you think "the people" anywhere, in whatever state, should be able to decide whether I have bodily autonomy?

While we are at it, hey, give me your kidney. I need one, and I can't live without it. If the voters decide that my life is worth more than yours, I can have it right?

I mean, we cannot even use a DEAD PERSON'S ORGANS without their consent.

MM - One can be pro-choice and yet also see the legal difficulties in this is a Supreme Court issue/decision (see Ruth Bader Ginsburg). And as for bodily autonomy, what possibly makes you think you have complete bodily autonomy? None of us do...there are a whole host of laws that "limit" our bodies.

I am going to repeat this, again...voters do not get a say in what happens within my uterus. It's MY ORGAN. You cannot use MY ORGAN without my permission. Nobody can. The same goes for ANY ORGAN.

You suddenly allow forced pregnancy, and you open the door for forced organ donation. "Yeah, I know you have two kidneys, but you are 50 and there are these two people in their 20s who need your kidneys."

Correction: The termination of cells is still an option in CA up to 26 weeks.

336pm - I’m intrigued! So what is “it” at 26 weeks and a day…still “cells” or what’s the correct word at that juncture?

I don't need to be "corrected" by a science denier. A 26 week clump of cells can be born and survive.

Great question! To me it's a cluster of cells, to you it's a baby, to another it's a fetus, to another it's the second coming of Christ. Regardless of our OPINIONS on what it is, if it's in MY body, then I get to decide how to proceed. Carry on and have a great evening!

UNRULYPASSENGER
- what % of 26 week clump of cells survive?
- what type of life does the born 26 week clump of cells have?
- what is the average cost of a NICU stay for a 26 week clump of cells? Who pays for that?
- what is the average cost to educate a 26 week clump of cells (IEP, special education)? Who pays for that?

Enquiring minds and all that.

Incorrect information all over this post. Perhaps men shouldn't be so lazy with their own birth control. Or men should be fined for masturbating, they're killing thousands of babies!

Fond - your statement is basically saying women should be forced to carry the baby of a sexual assault or incest situation. That is the state having rights over women's bodies. That is communism.

"This is not what SCOTUS is saying and" Apparently you lack the understanding of the Supreme Court challenge of the 14th Amendment. Not sure how to teach you about that in a short post.

GT - https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/13/us/rape-and-incest-just-1-of-all-abortions.html

OGSB The percentage doesn't matter - the fact that the state requires a woman to carry an abominable pregnancy is the issue. You are also linking to an article from 1989. At 1% you are also talking about 10,000 abortions due to rape or incest each year. With that being said - the woman does not need to tell the practitioner that the procedure is due to rape or incest - so the number is likely higher. Your arguments are flawed.

OG- that article is from 1989! Here's an updated article from 2021: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/14/upshot/who-gets-abortions-in-america.html

Abortion rates peaked in the early 80s but have been steadily declining and are now the lowest they've ever been since the 70s.

"Americans are having half as many abortions as 30 years ago. Researchers say a variety of factors — including better contraceptive use and less sex among teenagers — is leading to fewer unintended pregnancies."

"Much of the political debate about abortion in America focuses on abortions performed late in pregnancy, but the overwhelming majority of them occur in the first trimester. Forty-three percent of all abortions occur in the first six weeks of pregnancy, and 92 percent in the first 13 weeks."

Not that facts and figures matter to you but they're out there.

This is a new level.... 1989????? A 33 year old article? Nah, nothing's changed since then.... roflmao!

Sac - Lol, Yeah my bad. Didn't put a date in my search and didn't notice the year. Just figured the top result that was a NYT article was money. If you all really can't use google, then does 2019 work? It's the same. So shitty stuff really doesn't change, unfortunately.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/05/24/rape-and-incest-account-few-abortions-so-why-all-attention/1211175001/

GT - What's my argument? I linked an article ( Didn't notice the date) that's like every other if you do a google search. If you're saying that 10000+ pregnancies are from rape, I say that is disgusting and horrifying. Something needs to be done about that! WTF is wrong with someone that they would do that to another person?

IF the same men (and women) who want to eliminate abortion would sign on to legally obligate themselves to pay child support and provide childcare so mothers could work (and get healthcare now and social security in their old age), they would be less blatantly guilty of wanting choice without responsibility.

The draft was riddled with inconsistencies and vague language that violates the 14th amendment

CONSERVATIVESB - leaving it up to states doesn't make this any better. Look at the pending 6-week bans in Oklahoma and Texas. Forcing women to travel out of state for a procedure that could be life-saving is barbaric and not in any way "American." No, leaving it to the states, especially in this day and age, is not OK.

So was Joe Biden barbaric when he wanted to get rid of it with an amendment?

Also I am very pro-life so most of the sentiment expressed on here is lost on me. We should be attempting to save the baby’s life every single time. Just because the woman’s life is in danger (which is VERY rare), why can’t we try to save the baby? Why is it automatic to kill the baby?
Killing the unborn should not be a form of birth control nor for convenience because mom’s life will be more difficult.

Biden is a Catholic male. His personal beliefs then or now shouldn’t affect my rights to what happens inside my body.

04:39- what are you thoughts on mandating Covid vaccines? Same “my body my choice” position?

I see ConSB thinks he or she’s a medical expert, huh? Mother’s life rarely at risk, huh? Every heard of ectopic pregnancies Con!!!??? Common! I guarantee you you know someone who had one and had a medical abortion to preserve her life. I know 3!

CONSB - how many babies are you willing to adopt? Do you ever complain about your taxes going to help food, clothe, house the children and parents? Nah.... didn't think so ;)

Yes ectopic pregnancies occur but like I stated and you decided to leave out is why is the default to kill the baby?
Sac, on top of the 2 I have adopted already? There are endless studies that show there are more families attempting to adopt than there are children available. And I don’t complain about my taxes going to feed and clothe people. I complain when we are told 33 billion of tax payer dollars are going to Ukraine and on the text it says a portion is going towards a pathway to citizenship for Afghan nationals.

CONSB - if that's true, then good job! As for your taxes, ok.... if you say so!
