Roe v Wade

(503 Posts)

The USA’s Supreme Court have approved a (draft) judgement to overturn Roe v Wade decision. If this is passed, abortion (no matter what the circumstances) immediately becomes illegal in at least 22 states.

They don’t hate abortion. They hate women. Misogyny is at the heart of every right wing movement. Trump’s Republicans and Johnson’s Tories.

I am so glad I am old because this world is becoming unbearable to live in.

Suedonim why have you brought colour into it

In this day and unfortunately any woman black white or what ever colour is able to have an abortion

It won’t stop abortions. Desperate people will try to solve their issue with desperate measures.

volver at 20 weeks you ate able to abort a baby

At 20 weeks a baby NOT a bunch of cells is FULLY formed

Because black women tend to be disadvantaged in the US. They have less access to contraception and to termination. They are also more likely to die in childbirth, up to six times more than white women.

No, its not fully formed because if it was it would be viable outside the mother.

I'm not getting into this, but I trust the doctors and researchers to know when a baby is viable, and not some bigoted, religious people on the US right.

TheodoraP, I know of two young women who received news during the pregnancy of their much longed for second child, that the foetus had disabilities incompatible with life.
One woman terminated the pregnancy, one continued and gave birth to a child which lived a few days.
Which one was right? Both of them, of course, because they were able, in the midst of their grief and pain, to make a decision which was right for them and their families. I don't want those choices removed from them.

Try saying that this is not a fully formed living Breathing baby

I am sorry to say that abortion is nothing other than selfish murder

TheodoraP Tue 03-May-22 19:44:37

Your response to my post, TheodoraP?

TheodoraP Tue 03-May-22 19:48:32

I challenge every poster to watch the video that I have put up and comment AFTER they have watched about how they feel about abortion at 20 weeks

TheodoraP Tue 03-May-22 19:50:30

chocolatelovinggran

That is a complete kettle of fish

If you are told by a doctor that your child will live a horrid miserable disabled life that is a different thing entirely to aborting a perfectly healthy baby

TheodoraP Tue 03-May-22 19:51:56

Watch the video volver

You state at 20 weeks it's just a bunch of cells that is in correct and the video fully shows a moving baby

TheodoraP Tue 03-May-22 19:59:54

I haven't got a clue why your putting up that date

Bottom line stop giving wrong information

You say at 20 weeks it's just a bunch of cells how ridiculous

TheodoraP Tue 03-May-22 20:02:24

If you want me to look at one of your previous comments you will need to put up a link because I don't know how-to find it
