Abortion poll

What should be the law on abortion?


All abortion illegal

Abortion legal up to 12 weeks
Not including medical emergencies, etc

Abortion legal up to 26 week
Not including medical emergencies, etc

Abortion legal up to birth

After birth abortion legal

First of all, it's not abortion after birth it's a killing. So that's out on logic grounds.

Secondly making abortions illegal doesn't stop them. It simply makes them very unsafe (though with the internet and abortificant pills, that may not be so true any more).

Thirdly you didn't include an option for abortions to foetal viability which remains at about 24 weeks (despite many advances in medicine) since the UK plumped for that cut off back in the 60's. Later ones can be gotten, but have to be for good and sound medical reasons. And this is where I'd plump the line for no questions asked abortions.

It really isn't, but that is the connection one is intended to make.  Scrotus amplified the messaging at a wisconsin hate rally in late april of 2019, and it's been a nutball bete noir ever since.

The GOP would have their base believe...and their base incredibly does believe that they are voting against an existent cabal of evil women who give birth to children in order to kill them, and then farm their body parts.  They think that this is really happening, and it doesn't seem to trip any alarms in their heads other than the alarm to save the bay-bees.  This disgusting lie will be with them until the day they die.  If they woke up tomorrow or twenty years from now.... and realized that it was not happening, they would only be convinced that they had defeated it.

They don't give two shits about the babies. One thing I've learnt about anti-abortionists is that (apart from their own personal lives) they only care about life between fertilisation and birth. After that the child can go to hell for all they care.
