[@mariegarside8830]

Excellent question

[@dogsbecute]

@@mariegarside8830 i think the logic is being the Roe v Wade decision nullified the existing law (which was in place since 1864) and when the US supreme court revoked that ruling, The arizona supreme court for whatever reason decided to clarify this means the old law that was never repealed, just nullified due to roe v wade, is still on the books and is now not being blocked by a federal ruling, thus the de facto abortion law is back.

[@felinefunk]

Oh for the love of God! This is the most effing ridiculous thing.

[@russellmiles2861]

Actually, that kinda misses the point. While very rare there are medical terminations of pregnancies in late term just about everywhere including the USA. I felt Pete Buttigieg addressed this best when this question was asked. He actually knew the number of reported late term terminations and some of the tragic circumstances surrounding such. He stated that why would anyone want other than the family and physicians involved make such decisions. Late term terminations are also allowed by laws in those US states with moist restricted laws, Floridia, Texas, etc. Perhaps the question ought to have been asked of former President Trump as to why his political mates supported late term terminations.

[@joannefitzpatrick992]

​​@@russellmiles2861that's only when they know that the child is not going to survive, and the mother risks sepsis or other health complications. Pete buttigieg always has excellent statistics and facts to back up the arguments, but again the way the Republicans make it sound is that women are having terminations in the third trimester without any complications, or that they do it after the child has been born which is not an abortion that's just murder.

[@russellmiles2861]

@@joannefitzpatrick992 yes, politicians spinning yarns for electoral benifits. And I think Pete Buttigieg point was that you or I would never want to be in the position of making such horrid decisions. And to be frank: what you assert as murder is very unlikely. In another career I did have some involvement with such things. My late wife had direct involvement. A good mates son what allowed to die after birth. It was apparently going to be minutes but it took 9 days. Huumm, with my own relatives I recall a few times where medication was going to alleviate some pain, but would also hasten death. This is just like in the medical World. As Pete Buttigieg advised we ought be relieved we have no part in such.

[@daffodil1017]

That's the thing about 'late term' abortions, they are not done because a baby is unwanted. They are because of fetal abnormality. So many things can cause miscarriage or still birth and medically it's far more humane for a fatally ill fetus to be terminated earlier than to be born only to die with a more developed nervous system!! Pregnancy is too complex to legislate, there are so many variables. As soon as your take away rights from patients and doctors, women and babies suffer. You can't convince me abortion bans aren't about controlling women and children and seeing them as property. It's like letting a cashier fly a plane instead of a pilot.

As a non-American the whole abortion thing is depressing. In a healthy society abortion is necessary like divorce but it should still be seen as something that is not to be actively celebrated. Sadly, the obsession to block abortion elevates abortion to a place where it shouldn't be. If the pro-lifers truly care about American lives, then they would be much more concerned about the insane loss of life from guns and the ever increasing wealth-inequality that means many Americans don't have proper access to life-saving healthcare. It is ironic that some republicans place higher ontological value on a human blastocyst than they do of a young American child living in a poverty.

Which makes me wonder which part of the bible endorsing the widespread gun usage and endorsement of killing each other with limited consequences? Yet somehow killing embryos to protect a living person is unholy and must be banned under the “rule of god”? Let’s also not ignore the fact that Republicans are forcing religious beliefs onto people who don’t believe Christianity and doesn’t care about those kind of stuff, in a county where you supposed to have freedom of religion, including the choice of having no religion. It’s wrong in so so many levels and I seriously hope they lose badly in November, in senate, in the house, and in presidency.
