So I specifically called YOU a polarized Right Wing Nut and ReThuglican, did I?
No. You did not call me that. You've got your panties so twisted, you're not reading clearly. I stated that you did not say that to me. You even copied the statement. However, you did call another poster that, and your language is a violation of the spirit of civil communication you proposed.
If the left is willing to allow Roe vs Wade to be overturned or majorly modified, I'd think the right would be willing to give ground on baby help after birth, don't you think? I mean, the one that seems to be balking is YOU, my dear friend.
I have indicated from the beginning that on-going social care would constitute compromise from the Right. What I have been trying to get from you; is what constitutes compromise from the Left. You have finally provided it, by indicating major abortion reductions, or even elimination. So thank you for answering that, sweetie.
I never agreed to such a thing, but to be safe, abortions within the first 3 months should satisfy whether there's a embryo or fetus. I suggest you educate yourself on conception and "survivable ******* growth". If I must, I can always provide you a photo of a embryo in the first 12 weeks of development.
I believe that life begins at conception, so I'm under no obligation to establish an abortion cut-off time. Shirley you are aware that an abortion cut-off law must be exact and defensible, to survive the inevitable challenges. Pick any cut-off time you desire, but be prepared to defend it -- and the strongest challenges will be from your side -- those who want to abort right up to the last moment.
But I feel fairly confident if your 12-13 year old ******* were gang raped & ******* by children preditors, and she was wanting an abortion, you'd damn well give her one, no doubt.
I've been a trans-girl since 11 yo, if you think I'm having a *******, we need to have a talk about how babies are made. However, while I am personally opposed to abortion, I'm not naive enough to think it can ever be stopped. I am pragmatic enough to be willing to allow abortion in the drastic circumstances you mention -- that have always been, and always will be agonizing.
IYou're not misunderstanding me. but only IF early abort (first 12 weeks for example) is allowed for *******, *******, major deformity, or life threats to the pregnant mom (as diagnosed by a qualified doctor)
From a politically pragmatic point of view, that is not unreasonable to me.
IRemember, here, nanci, we are negotiating. Don't expect to walk to the negotiation table and get everything YOU WANT. 'Tis why its called negotiation, right. Your hard sell isn't with the lefties, anyways, its with the evangelical RIGHT. Right now they want abortion rights completely eliminated.
Oh don't be a drama queen. You know perfectly well there are rabid pro-abortionists, who want to go to the last day -- and even post-birth. The argument is with the extremists on both side. If you and I can come to some kind of terms on this, then the question is how do the two sides who severely distrust each other make progress.
