Law Mississippi Abortion Law in SCOTUS: Roe v. Wade in the Crosshairs

Plus, if you look at the Mississippi bill or even Texas’, neither say life or consciousness begins at conception. One is 6 weeks the other is 15.

Adding in “life at conception” is yet again moving goal posts and so on and so forth
 
if a person is crappy and unfit to be a parent, they should undergo forced sterilization. They are just a clump of cells and it is subjective that they have any rights to begin with, as humans rights is a subjective construct of society. In fact we should sterilize anyone who falls under the poverty line. Problem solved
Ok they're not going to do that though. That's not a subjective opinion, that's something we have all sorts of data to back up. Like I said earlier, it's just moral grandstanding if you know what you're advocating is extremely unlikely to happen, and you have no input on any solutions that are actually practical.

Again it's similar to the gun control people,, usually not Americans, that say if you guys cared about crime you'd remove guns from your society. Willfully ignoring that the presence of hundreds of millions guns and widespread support of their ownership makes that impossible. We can talk in hypotheticals that are pure fantasy all day and just ignore actual reality, but I dont see how that's helpful.

People are going to have unprotected sex. (The same people that are against abortions are also often against contraceptives and sex education btw) Contraceptive measures are going to fail at times. Poor people woefully unable to care for kids aren't going to stop having sex. As a society, we aren't going to help those people if they do have kids. These are all real, known factors that actually have to be addressed if you want to do anything beyond just sounding morally superior. Anyone can do that, it's easy.

It's really hard to have a conversation with you when you're all over the place and either being intellectually dishonest, or have less than great reading comprehension. I'm not sure which. Yes, the people taking a staunch anti abortion stance usually say life begins at conception. Since I never once referenced when those states bills determine consciousness begins, I'm ot moving any goalposts. Not once in any post did I make any argument based on those timeframes. My point, quite clearly, was that people on the religious right frequently hold the stance that life begins at conception.

If you don't accept that, which many people do not, it becomes highly subjective when life does begin.
 
Effeminacy is not something to be proud of, but we live in a culture where it is shamelessly practiced and admired.
I disagree and would submit that effeminacy is something to be proud of. As long as someone is a good person who cares if they are effeminate? How does it affect anything? Effeminate men have made great contributions to our society, more than you ever will. You sound slightly homophobic.

I am not religious and don’t agree it is highly subjective when life begins. There are really only a few molestones:

conception

heart beat (shows nervous system is there and functional)

brain has developed

Is born.

that is really only 4 benchmarks and not very subjective in what makes them a milestone in the process

and it is clear that the majority of the country, 65%, believe it is the brain developing, which is around 12 weeks/end of first trimester, less than the Mississippi bill.

And I don’t feel I am all over the place. I am concistent in the thread with focusing on abortion itself and/or states having their rights to create their own laws.

it is the pro abortion people bringing in other arguments and/or subjective things like people being shitty parents and/or unable to care for their kids.

If people feel they do not want kids or unable to get them, then get sterilized, which planned parenthood also offers. I am sure that would be OK with the the religious far right, and also does not infringe on the rights of an unborn child.

I would rather have my taxes go to sterilizing someone who doesn’t want to have children than to abort children who have no say in the matter. Especially when the cost of sterilization is about the cost of 2 abortions. Some years, there have been over 1 million abortions, so it is logical to figure some people are getting multiple abortions in their lives, so it would even be cost effective to just encourage them to get sterilized, which again, planned parenthood offers

I'm not particularly pro abortion just to clarify. I think people should have the right to get one but they should be avoided whenever possible. It's a horrible thing to have to do, but people do end up in situations where they don't see any other choice. It's not moving goalposts at all to follow a thought to its logical conclusion. We KNOW that people in no condition to have kids will still have sex. That's just an absolute fact. We also know that the government and citizens are generally uninterested in helping those people in any way. We also know that these people have a lot of poor outcomes.

I don't even have to speak only using data and hypotheticals here. I grew up extremely poor. My mother was going to abort me. They showed her a sad wittle video, so she changed her mind. She was in no way prepared to raise me. I grew up around a lot of other low income people with children. It's a very poor environment and many of us had very poor outcomes. If we're not going to forcibly sterilize poor people, and we're not, and we're going to force them to raise children, it's logical to say as a society we should also help these people in some way. And we don't. We just sit back and watch low income people fail while saying they should make better decisions when statistically we know that they will not.

So if you're going to force people to have kids anyway, at least acknowledge the MANY burdens they and there children will place on everyone else in society.

I don't mean to diminish any of those social problems, which I agree exist. But to have an honest debate about these other social factors, there must other context For instance, 80 percent of abortion facilities are located in minority neighborhoods. About 13 percent of American women are black, but they receive over 35 percent of the abortions. (this does not include Hispanics)

https://blackdignity.org/?gclid=Cjw...81hKh8_PTn48IHq1JX5u6OWSAVkWwLAhoCXrwQAvD_BwE

For further context, The abortion rate among Hispanic women, for example, although not as high as the rate among black women, is double the rate among whites.

https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2008/08/abortion-and-women-color-bigger-picture

Are these minority, generally urban areas not democrat run with the highest wealth gaps in the country? The same democrats who are the pro-abortionists? Same democrats that are pro open borders, which makes it harder to get jobs, eats up the resources for various social nets? Why do their policies not address these concerns prior to requiring an abortion? Why are these people in power for decades with no resolution to these major, persistent social problems? Same democrats that want to teach sex ed in kindergarten and hypersexualize our kids? Generally areas known for the most corruption and voter fraud?

It is almost as if limousine liberals use this as a wedge issue (not the far right) to deflect from their failed policies. Moreover, they need abortions to help their policies from looking even worse if they had a bunch of minority babies running around.

Similarly, look at their criminal justice policies that are in the name of minority rights (just like women's rights with abortion), that lead to violent criminals on the street, and lead to how many murders in these same urban areas?

How do we abort people that escaped the systemic genocide of a population through abortions, who were actually born? We release the violent criminals and let them kill each in the streets, if not the womb.

Morals/faith, order, justice, hard work and dedication. That is exactly what the hard working middle class in these same areas want.

Also as a side note, it is also the far right that is more likely to support adoption, outside of gay people who want to traumatize a child.
 
How is that a “problem”? Some people want long term, stable relationships and some don’t. One’s not “right” and the other “wrong”. My parents have been married 52 years, and had four kids, and now have 8 grandkids. I’ve been with my wife 16 years and we have two kids. But my Dad’s younger brother has never married, but over the last 55 years has probably had 20-30 girlfriends of a few months to I think a maximum of 3 or 4 years. No idea how many random hook ups he’s had along the way, but I imagine a lot as he likes to party in Miami and Aspen every year. While my folks maybe frown on my uncle’s lifestyle if you take children out of the equation there’s no basis for saying my uncle’s approach to sex and relationships is a “problem” compared to my Dad who will die having only ever kissed one woman in his entire life, my mom.

Good for your dad. It would be great if there were more men and women who only had one partner they were intimate with in their lifetime.

The problem with trivializing relationships and sex and being promiscuous is that it creates a larger moral problem where people are merely objectifying each other and that reinforces a selfish mentality where individuals are only seeking pleasure for themselves. There is no consideration for the other, there is a devaluing of life. The unhealthy attitude that marriage and children are nothing more than obstacles to my own selfish desires becomes the dominant outlook. It is just an extension of a consumer mentality where people are treated as mere products that can be sampled and thrown out on a whim for a newer model.

It ultimately comes down to what you think the purpose of life is. If you truly believe life is just some meaningless random occurrence and there is nothing more than meets the eye, then I guess it would be acceptable to live your live indulging in selfish desires because nothing really matters anyway. If you think there is a higher purpose to life and overcoming your selfishness and greed is part of that higher purpose, then overcoming the self (or dying to self) and honoring sex and relationships will be more of a priority.

I should have been more clear. I am using effeminacy as Catholic philosopher Saint Thomas Aquinas used it. Being effeminate means you are drawn to pleasure and selfish desires and not capable of enduring hardship and making sacrifices to achieve a higher purpose in life. It is being soft in the worst way. A man who constantly jerks off to porn, smokes pot everyday and listens to shitty music for hours on end is effeminate because he is unable to deal with difficulties in life. Instead, he escapes into his addictions.

In the sense Saint Thomas uses the word effeminacy, it is not something to be proud of. It is a vice that holds men back from accomplishing greater things in life. Instead of effeminacy, we should develop perseverance.

You can read more about it by clicking on this link:

The Forgotten Vice of “Effeminacy”: What St. Thomas Aquinas Says in His Summa

First, he [Thomas] explains what he means by “perseverance,” namely when “a man does not forsake a good on account of long endurance of difficulties and toils.” In other words, the virtue of perseverance is when you don’t give up doing something good just because it gets difficult!

By Thomas’ understanding, the vice of “effeminacy” is the opposite, namely when a man is “ready to forsake a good on account of difficulties which he cannot endure.” He explains further: “This is what we understand by effeminacy, because a thing is said to be ‘soft’ if it readily yields to the touch.”

One might object to a vice being compared to one of the sexes! Women are of course also called to the virtue of perseverance. The point is that women are naturally both physically and in temperament generally “softer” than men. This is good for women. But when a man acts “soft,” given that men are naturally more “hard” both physically and in temperament, then it’s a particularly bad thing for the man.

Lol you are probably unqualified to even speak about relationships.
nice on thinking people being in committed relationships is sharia. Which brings it all back to your lack of relationships.
I think this pic of you probably shows why that is
reminder.jpg

You literally moved to Japan because you couldn't get anyone. Men who fail at getting western women to like them move to Japan to get a submissive "trad wife", because they know any independent woman would dump their unimpressive ass in a month. Solid self report bro, stay mad.
 
I think making so young adults can live on their own and be responsible would be better to encourage. Wait til 18 can be realistic. I got married at 29. I don’t think that’s responsible to wait.
Churches should help kids get jobs and help with housing then when they are young and allow them to get married and enjoy life. Not be stuck in to die parents house waiting to finally make enough
Good day don’t kids should have some sort of church apartments idk
It's an expense. It just doesn't seem like the people religiously fighting to end abortion are willing to pay the cost of forcing them to become babies without a stable family.

I know people adopt 1 or 2 kids, or become foster parents of many, but that's going to be a lot more unwanted babies if abortion becomes illegal. Be prepared to pay more taxes to cover the expense.
 
Other than raising the child, what are the insurmountable burdens of having a child?
Obviously, aside from situations wherein childbirth might harm the mother.





9 months isn't really all that long. And the vast majority of pregnant women made the decision to be pregnant several times. Once that decision manifests as an actual pregnancy, the women's choices really should narrow, since they no longer impact only her.
There should be no argument the decision only impacts her before the first or second trimester.

There is more to it on the religious side than simply banning the murder of unborn children. There is an entire way of living being promoted around restraint, chastity, responsibility and taking marriage and sex seriously in the hope of greatly reducing unwanted pregnancies. Throughout it's 2000 year history, the Catholic Church has been demanding a family wage and family centered policy from governments that has been outright ignored. The "conservatives don't care" propaganda is greatly exaggerated. The politicians certainly don't care, but many religious and conservative people do care and have been making efforts to change the debauched culture that promotes and encourages promiscuity and abortion.

It is no secret that simply banning abortion isn't the only thing that needs to be done. The perverted attitudes towards marriage, sex and consumerism held by the larger society needs to change. We are in need of a serious moral reform.
 
You got me curious so I looked up the chapter.

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

Now I'm not one to doubt the effectiveness of ancient curses, but I don't think holy water mixed with some floor dust actually caused a lot of aborted pregnancies

The chapter is basically saying if you think your wife if unfaithful bring her to the temple and make her drink some water and if she was unfaithful god will curse her with a miscarriage and if she wasn't nothing will happen and you can know your wife if faithful lol.

Essentially the curse would never happen because holy water and dust doesn't cause miscarriages lol. Sounds like they made this one up to help soothe jealous husbands by assuring them all their cheating wives weren't really cheating.
Too bad they didn't have DNA tests back then... {<shrug}

I think nowadays it's moms thinking "What the fuck did I do?" Yes you did and pregnancy is the result. Good thing we don't rely on holy dust and water anymore.

this. As per my post as well, Morals/faith, order, justice, hard work and dedication. That is exactly what the hard working middle class want.

liberalism in its current form is a direct contrast to this, which is why independents, especially in minority groups are siding with MAGA. Which is becoming even more so as the Biden admin keeps being shit and the woke liberals want to attack the right to self defense, impose ridiculous mandates and destroy small business.

And I’m married to a woman who is still attractive at 40 and who is a scientist. Cry a little harder honey. I can’t quite see all your tears
How is your life going? Funny how you haven’t refuted anything I’ve said about your lack of relationships. Because you’re guilty on all charges

I think allowing society to be undermined as it has. That it to say the lack of stable families and the fed govt actually encouraging single parent families via welfare and Medicaid. That’s how we got here
And crap. Taxes. Between pointless research and MIC there’s no reason why anything else is underfunded.

Why would I refute bullshit? Only the truth offends, would someone with a giant dong get upset if someone online called them a pin-dick?

I'm like 20 years younger than you, assuming you are in your 40s-50s (which is especially sad considering that you post like a 16 year old edgelord who spent too much time on 4chan), and I certainly haven't had to travel overseas to find a submissive woman with no self-respect

Oh ok you’re 20, so that’s why you don’t have any relationships. Got it
Maybe post like you have a brain and people won’t think you’re an idiot. I don’t think there’s a non gimmick account that thinks anything about you at all. Save that you’re a massive waste of time and air

I guess and edge lies is someone that calls fat ugly people, gay ugly and undateable

I'm bored with you now, Elretardo. You had to move countries to get a relationship.. one that outlaws abortions too, so basically forcing your "trad wife" to have your children. Don't come back.
