Social Texas lawmakers considering death penalty for abortion

Texas gonna Texas.

Did they burn the building down? Were the people that worked there assaulted by any of the pro lifers?

I'm not sure of why the people were arrested or what they exactly they did to the legislative aides that resulted in the arrest. I tend to doubt they like beat the shit out of anyone because I think I'd have heard of it in more particularity if that was the case.

I can verify that the building was not burned down. But the building was all marble and concrete, so that may have not been feasible.

This is clearly a reaction the idiocy pushed by the democrats. Abort anyone, any time, even after birth... and people came on this board to support that lunacy.

Seems like an odd stance your friends have. You'd be hard pressed to find a logical reason to be pro-life except that you believe abortion to be murder.

What's odd is I know some staunch pro-lifers who think a human begins at conception who don't consider abortion murder.

Do you consider aborting something that doesn't have a brain morally equivalent to shooting some 20 year old in the head?

Yes. There is likely going to be less of an emotional attachment to a developing human at 2 weeks compared to a 20 year-old, but both cases involve murdering a developing, living human being.

The death penalty? That's a bit harsh. But I guess that's what happens when you have New York go full retard in killing babies after birth ffs...

This is going to end well...

Killing a baby after birth in New York was, and still is, criminal homicide. Please share a link to where New York allows the killing of a health, or any, baby after birth.

It's a surprisingly simple concept: don't like porn? don't watch it. Don't like gay marriage? don't marry a person of the same sex. Don't like abortion? don't have one.....

Why do some people feel they MUST tell OTHERS how to live their lives? Worry about yourselves

It’s not that simple when you see abortion as murder.

“Don’t like murder? Don’t kill anyone.”

It doesn’t work quite as well.

 

[Dr J]

Putting women to death for getting an abortion?
Next up: cutting hands off thieves, and off to the stockade for promiscuous thots.

Isnt it amazing that people cant seem to figure out that politics is on a pendulum? If one side goes full derp and pushes something, the other side pushes back in the opposite direction.

This is why everyone should be worried about the rise in the far left because they are increasing the rise of the far right...

Roe v Wade had no chance of being over-turned in the last 50 years...it does now thanks to leftists trying to allow babies that are already born to be "aborted" and most of those dumb cunts have no idea the fire they are playing with when it comes to free-speech and guns.

I'll assume you are talking about the Virginia law which does not allow babies to be killed after birth. What it does allow is for a baby with no chance of longterm viability to be treated humanely with palliative care rather than being required to be treated with extreme measures. For instance, a baby born with essentially no brain would be made comfortable and held in it's mother arms for the few minutes or hours it is alive rather than being rushed to the NICU where it would immediately be attached to machines even though there is no chance of long term survival. I just don't see a problem with a law that would allow that. We allow elderly people to make that decision and I just don't see a problem with allowing parents to make that decision on behalf of their children.

What do you consider the essential features of a human?

 

[Deleted member 159002]

Well, i'm in favour of restricting abortion and against the death penalty, so it sounds like swings and round-a-bouts to me. Not that I've ever considered Texas a potential home.

What restrictions do you support and why?

What's odd is Texas has almost 3rd world maternal mortality rate but they also want (blavk) women to die for not dying in child birth. Awesome.
"Plus, in both the prior and updated mortality rates for Texas in 2012, black women were still severely disproportionately affected: Compared with the overall rate of 14.6 deaths per 100,000 live births, the rate for black women was still double that, at 27.8 per 100,000 live births, according to the study. The same has been true, Main said, for the country as a whole at varying rates." Source

The woman can use contraception. The vast majority of pregnancies aren't forced. A life is still a life.

If a woman is raped she might not be on contraception. What then? Forcing a woman who has been raped to carry her rapist's child seems cruel to me.

I believe human life starts at conception. You’ve got a developing human being at that point. Everything else, in my opinion, is an arbitrary cutoff.

You didn't answer my question.

 

[Dr J]

You didn't answer my question.

My answer is that a human is a living Homo sapien in all stages of development and life. I don’t believe that particular features are needed beyond that definition.

I honestly believe the number of cases you are describing if honestly investigated would be extraordinarily small. I also believe in a fallen world where every human at one time or another is victim to the sins of others. And I believe that two wrongs don't make a right. We each have a moral choice despite the hand we're dealt. Giving birth and then putting up the baby for adoption is the moral option in this case, unless the woman does want to keep the child and be the mother to it.

Fun fact: I worked in a state capitol once doing legislative work. Generally, people were professional and respectful: both politicians and constituents. Except one time there was a Rally for Life with anti-abortion types. I didn't have much face time with them and could only comment that they were very rude and unresponsive to people who actually worked in the building trying to get through and around their horde.

Cutting to the chase, the group engaged in death threats to legislative aids and Democratic politicians, got all riled up by one of their speakers calling the Democratic Party the satanic party of infanticide or some shit, and ended up getting really hostile. The city police force ended up coming (in larger numbers than were present), ending the event early, making arrests, and barring the group from the capitol. The group ended up losing all of their lobbyist contracts as well.

Nice folks.

The day republicans care about children AFTER they are born is the day I will take their opinions on abortion seriously.
