Ohio bans doctors from performing Down Syndrome abortions

[Mermaid]

If the right wants some REAL solutions to reduce abortions. HERE IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

STOP selling the bullshit "be fruitful and multiply".

Proved economic and family planning in public schools at a young age.

Provide sex education, including the risk of disease, oral and anal count.

BUT also, provide livable wages for parents so they they can be at home involved in both boys and girls lives.

^^^^^^^^THAT is your long term plan to reduce abortions. Not banning them pushing females back to allies and coat hangers.

But if these women would just keep their legs closed as God intended, the world would be better. Why should I have to pay for someone else's irresponsibility? Harlots.

I believe all human beings have the right to be born and no one has the right to arbitrarily take the life of another human being.

I suggest you take that up with your god then . Because he seems to disagree.

I believe a woman should be able to abort for any reason she chooses and her reason is no one’s business but her own.

I believe all human beings have the right to be born and no one has the right to arbitrarily take the life of another human being.

If a fertilized egg cell is a full human then god is the most prolific abortion doctor. %50 of fertilized egg cells don't implant in the uterus. To say nothing of the zygotes that don't make it past that phase. If god is real and he designed the human body, that makes him responsible.

You aren't. State health insurance does not cover abortions. That's an OOP expense.

I know, I was being sarcastic. I shouldn't do that, it doesn't come across well in text.

I remember a while back some politician called Children born from rape a 'blessing from God.'

What's funny (or maybe sad), is that there are people who were conceived from rape, and they got to witness the debate. And what they saw, was more than half the country outraged at the idea someone would say their existence was 'a blessing.' That had to be good for their morale. But I don't think anyone even considered how that debate would make that group of people feel.

There are some similar implications for folks with Down Syndrome. If we're aborting people because of DS, it seems like that makes them 2nd class citizens. Certainly less valuable than healthy people. "We aborted our baby, solely because it was going to be like you." is a tough message to send to folks with Down Syndrome, or any group with disabilities. It certainly makes selling them on the idea they are 'equal' a stretch.

And the slippery slope implications moving forward are going to cross a lot of people's lines, and it's going to be tough to make an argument against them once you start down the path.

This is great. Another Repugnican tenant goes down in flames.

Odd that these pro abortionists will support the horrific abortion procedure of dismembering a child in the womb but demand mercy for the most cold blooded of murderers on death row. Even death row killers face a more merciful end than the unborn facing abortion...

Nobody is a "pro abortionist".

I had a feeling you were.... but yeah, I couldn't tell. 

I'm sorry about that.
