Tony Bacala voted for the bill even though he agreed it "won't pass (constitutional) muster." Lol, the GOP are full of psychopaths and this guy is just saying 'Yep' to another guy who thinks this is hyperbole. I mean, this is just a round-about-way to ban certain forms of birth control before you guys can officially take that away too. Is this going to make @Archy1221 less like to vote for people with an 'R' next to their name? Absolutely not. 2 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Here's a little something for the strict Constitutionalists who cite the Founding Fathers at their convenience (not to mention the current textbook police) https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/05/ben-franklin-american-instructor-textbook-abortion-recipe.html?fbclid=IwAR27CmRw-k3LGl1xDoMEHPm3FV7cZDPSNHFAv4PL5AiJTud7UDuHxQVIHfY Link to comment
funhusker Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 This is why I might come off as over emotional in some of my responses: My wife and I lost a baby last Spring. My wife was about 13 weeks along when she went in for the ultrasound and blood work that confirmed the fetus was "dead". My wife's life was not in danger. She could have safely and routinely chose to carry the baby until her body would eventually "take care of it" over a couple of weeks. The thought of some "a$$h@!e" requiring my wife to live with the idea of knowing she is carrying broken dreams in her womb every day for even 14 or so days makes me want to do some scary things. We were trying desperately to have another child. We didn't have a couple of months to give, so we made the choice to have a DNC. That way we could start the process again. Oh wait! There's more! We were finally trying IVF which requires fertilizing eggs. This could also be on the table as some lawmakers could view embryos as human and get rid of that practice. This is all a s#!t show and it's waiting to erupt. There are people who desperately want to be mothers and carry their own child who this will hurt. And spare me the "there will be more babies to adopt." Who gives a s#!t!?! Not me. Just being honest... 4 1 Link to comment

It appears child # 1 was a 'miracle' as they found out that they couldn't have a baby and based on their biological issues, the first one, our dear granddaughter, never should have been born. They are looking at IVF also. I wish you well as you go forward. 1 Link to comment

Crusader Husker Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 31 minutes ago, Guy Chamberlin said: I think I know what you're saying, but obviously many of the same people have been fighting the death penalty, inequity in criminal justice and education, poverty, hunger, mental illness, access to firearms, etc. For most of the past 50 years, legal abortion appeared to be the law of the land so it didn't require as much "vigor." It's a bit weird in the wake of this seismic overnight shift that you think people are paying too much attention to abortion, and suggesting they've been lax in the other areas where conservatives have perpetuated these "atrocities" (your word). The unifying thread to all this: when kids are allowed to feel wanted, loved, and trusting, it helps the entire spectrum of social and economic issues. If it helps, and this is my fault. I am addressing Christians who have worked hard to fight abortion. Not sure if that helps to understand my statement or not. Link to comment

Obviously I am pro-life, not ashamed of that and in answering her question.. My response would be... I hear ya baby, lets calm down, have a drink and talk about it cordially. 1 Link to comment

But you replied to a person who has suffered a loss and explained his feelings. Kind of a d!(k reply. Well not kind of, it was full d!(k. 5 1 Link to comment
