Abortion Bills

With the recent slew of conservative judges being put on the bench states are pushing strictor abortion bills in hopes of getting Roe vs. Wade overturned.

Alabama

Said to be the strictest bill yet HB314 is effective once a fetus is in utero.

Georgia

Currently restricts abortion after 20 weeks, just signed a law that bans it so soon most women wont even know their pregnant before its illegal. it blocks abortions after about 6 weeks.
It includes provisions for up to life imprisonment and penalties if she has a miscarriage.

Iowa

Passed a law in 2018 that requires the governor personally approve an abortion (If its covered by medicare) even if the womens life is in immediate danger.

Ohio

Trying to ban birth control coverage by medical insurance.

Several other states have passed or are pushing more laws along these lines, including punishments.


You know whats missing in these so called pro life arguments?

  • Contraception for women, even while male contraception is covered by most insurance.
  • Healthcare for women and children.
  • Severe penalties for the fathers who refuse to take care of the child once born.
  • Economic support for single mothers, especially those who have children with birth defects or were raped and forced into single motherhood by the state.
  • Effective adoption, foster care and other support for children.
It makes one wonder what the real priorities are here.

Republicans still promoting child abuse

Saw this on Samantha Bee about NY protecting child molesters.
Seriously we see this all the time, just check out the FBIs crime stats and you will see how the states with the highest levels of child abuse are GOP controlled ones.
Can anyone explain in a rational way why?

Child marriage in the USA

New Hampshire Rep David Bates supports child marriage. His stated reason? Tradition.
New Jersey Sen Michael Doherty also supports it, his reasoning is to avoid teenagers having abortions.

Seems to me pretty despicable and short sighted to allow much less encourage this.
I think most of us get that but in case your like the Conservatives above who thinks its a good idea here are some reasons in hopes of reaching through to you.
  • Its immoral, I doubt that will reach those who are somehow for it in this day and age so moving on....
  • Forcing a girl to marry her rapist to avoid dealing with a criminal issue just encourages more violence against women.
  • It is essentially modern slavery and human trafficking.  You do believe in Justice right?
  • This increases child poverty and divorce rates. Even if you as a conservative dont care about the damage to these girls I appeal to your greed and point out that this costs taxpayers with increased health care and costs of dealing with legal issues.Promoting violence costs everyone.
  • Some argue that if the girl is not forced to marry she will get an abortion.  Ever hear of adoption? 
  • What kind of husband an father do you think a rapist would make?  Ok, I know appealing to a conservatives sense of morality or right an wrong is a wasted prayer but God tells us not to give up.  And when the conservatives put Jesus on the cross he forgave them, trouble is I am not as good a man as Jesus was so I find it hard to forgive such evil.
Policies like these are why so many progressives and liberals are disgusted with and hate conservatives.

PS: Those who object to my calling those who crucified Jesus conservatives I advise you to read your bible.
