Let’s face it: part of the reason why people have very different views on this issue is because a lot of people fundamentally misunderstand the roles of government, specifically the roles of legislature and of the judiciary. The legislative branch of government has become so dysfunctional in the past 40-50 years that they’ve completely abdicated all responsibility to the courts so that they don’t have to face the consequences of the decisions they’ve been entrusted by their constituents to make

Very True. And every time their constituents put enough pressure for them to need to be seen to be doing something, they craft the most outrageous thing they can so it gets killed in committee.

the people here like: "the supreme court is performing a coup" (you WUT) or "the supreme court passed a law" or "just a bunch of old white dudes" (have you seen the pictures of the judiciary?) I know that the 3 branches is taught in school (especially WA), the Supreme court does not write law, they arbitrate on the matters of a case with reference to the constitution and the laws as written. Roe way bad precedent, several Justices have stated this outright "it is just a matter of time before someone brings a case to call it into question"-RBG if it is a question of the morals, and ethics of the society then that is a matter of Congress/Senate not the courts (Justice is blind for a reason)

“People of Quahog, I have something to say: now that we’ve freed ourselves from the terrible shackles of government, it’s time to replace it with something better. The first thing we need is a system of rules that everyone must live by. And since we can’t spend all our time making rules, I think that we should elect some people to represent us, and they should make rules and choices on our behalf. Now this may be kind of expensive, so I got a plan: everyone should have to give some money from their salaries each year. Poor people will give a little bit of money, and rich people will give a larger amount of money, and our representatives will use all that money to hire some people who will then provide us with social order and basic services. Now, it won’t be perfect. Some of our representatives may end up being bastards, but you know what? That’s okay because we’re gonna have more elections, and we can use those elections to get rid of the bad guys and replace them with good guys. And then the system will just keep going on and on just like that! So who’s with me? Will you join me in trying this crazy new thing? Then let’s do it! Yeah!

States are currently implemented laws allowing private citizens to bring suit against anyone they know who leaves the state for an abortion. This includes the doctors and the woman.

I wish there was a better way for children to be adopted but unless we are ok with a few more child murders or molesters a week we should keep that process arduous and thorough. If two million people want to adopt how many of them do you think are actually fit and safe for a child to go to? Hypothetically speaking. I’m genuinely curious. Most biological parents aren’t really fit or ready to have children so what standard should be out on would be parents trying to take on that responsibility?

[@phantomninja904]

Flip side of that argument. If the process wasn't so hard to adopt, someone might adopt a kid and harm him/her in any number of ways, phycologically, physically or emotionally. It would be wonderful if that wasn't the case, but the threat of such things and the wellbeing of the children need to take precedence. Rather than adoption more people should look into being foster care parents to give children good homes and moral values as they await adoption or come of age given the system is as dysfunctional it is. They may not have children to claim as their own legally, but they would touch the lives of many more children for the better. Also, for some unknown reason becoming a foster caretaker is an easier process than actually adopting a child for some ungodly reason.

I had a friend in high school who was 2 grades higher than me. I’m gonna call her K. One time we over heard these two girls who were talking about something dealing with abortion on the news. I wasn’t friends with the two girls but K was because they were in the same grade. When K heard what they were talking about she.went.off. about how horrible abortion was even though they weren’t even talking to us 😅 and I could tell the two girls were shocked by it and one of them literally got up and said something like “okay I’m gonna leave before she gets out of hand.” And the thing I find funny is, several years after that, K ended up getting an abortion. When she told me she got an abortion, I had to bite my tongue about the incident in high school because I found it so hypocritical. We fell out of touch a while ago but I always think about this whenever I see people fighting about abortion lol

[@judgegrinch1139]

NGL I’m very liberal and when that lady said “Uterus Haver” I rolled my eyes so your comment is true. This stupid shit is why we fucking lose and it pissed me off. Being 30 and a liberal is a horrible experience because you watch these people who haven’t seen politics succeed and fail for the last decade think they can shout you down for perceived verbal insults. I’m not saying we shouldn’t respect trans people but we should also utilize common sense in our branding but again I get shouted down for it. The amount of times these last few days that I heard “Shut the fuck up your a man this isn’t your issue” is ridiculous. All this for calling for a calm anger so we can try to figure out where to volunteer to make phone calls and rally and to get people to vote. It is insanity to me and every time something like this happens, the liberals lose their shit and the fucking republicans laugh their asses off.

[@fordgtguy]

A lot of republicans are straight up saying that democrats in states that ban abortion need to start voting and pushing for a change in the law. Also, that they should push their congressman to create a new amendment to make abortion federally legal. Instead, they are rioting like idiots and spewing ignorance while yelling "fuck the supreme court".

[@bandit6272]

Yes, you have a lunatic infestation in your party. Sucks. Also, I don't think your fellow travelers are very "liberal" at all. Maybe YOU are, and great if you are. But they (the ones you're complaining about) are pretty illiberal.

I love how when asmon agrees with the guy that said morals shouldn’t be made into laws and says he’s 95% right, there is people spamming murder, slavery, robbery, etc, like bitch what do you think the 5% is for?

[@SolaticSyot]

Yea but it seems like most law has some basis in morality, so I don't think you can just say morals shouldn't be made in to laws. Like maybe not all morals need to be codified into law, but saying morals shouldn't be made into law isn't even 95% right, more like 5% right.

[@PuzzleBox83]

@@SolaticSyot You missed the point. Most law has some basis in morality, but most MORALITY has no basis in Law. E.G. Lying. Lying is immoral, we all agree to this, but there are no laws against it unless it is a breech of contract or under oath. Cheating on your spouse is immoral, also not against the Law. Like he said 95% of immoral things we do as humans are lawful.

[@PuzzleBox83]

@@christerjakobsen8107 That isn't a solely "Christian Moral Teaching." It is the basis of empathy and has been around long before Christianity. China has a very similar ancient philosophy "Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself."

[@SolaticSyot]

@@PuzzleBox83 The argument is that morals shouldn't be made into laws, yet as I said and you have agreed, most laws have a basis in morality. Of course some are largely derived from a commonly shared morality but that's neither here nor there. So I'm not sure what you're point is. I'm not under the impression that all morals are laws, and I'm not really of the opinion that all morality should be codified into law.

[@PuzzleBox83]

@@SolaticSyot The point of the comment is that 95% of our Morals are not made into Laws. You seem to agree with that, so I don't get what you are arguing. Yes, Laws are based on Morals. Who cares? It doesn't mean anything. Most Morals are not Laws, so something being Moral doesn't mean shit legally.

[@vKross]

The talk of asmon alone at the end, really reminded me of "Raised by Wolves" (good show) where people have to leave earth to live on other planets since a war broke out between the religious side and others, one of the girls was raped by a religious figure head and wanted to die and die or it to be gone the whole time, but when she got it, she actually got very attatched and protective of it.

[@Dieci-9]

I think the girl near the beginning of the video had a very balanced opinion. At the end of the day, I just like that people have more options to deal with problems and everybody should be able to choose the ones they think better suits them and their beliefs to deal with whatever life throws at them. A discourse could be had if there's a need or not to confirm if the partner\husband has any say in keeping the child and that would be a much more polarizing and complex issue to deal with but on the issue of "if there should be abortion or not", I believe that people should have that option on the table.

[@wallraven55]

“I just like that people have more options to deal with problems”. Should I be able to run a red light if I’m running late to something extremely important. Should I be able to murder my spouse if they’re abusive? Should I be able to steal food if I’m poor? Having more options to a solution is not always the correct answer. The answer to most of those questions is the wrong one. And that’s how people feel about the abortion issue. One of the solutions is immoral to them and want it removed.

[@Dieci-9]

@@wallraven55 but that's the thing: it's immoral, not illegal. All the things you described are and are so for very logical reasons outside of morality. While morality is important it is a thing that differs from person to person. It can't be trusted. You can't run a red light if you're in a hurry as a normal person BUT you can do so at your and other people's peril or at risk of being stopped by police. Conversely, police, ambulances and firetrucks can run a red light because lives depend on them and they are equipped to warn drivers that they are in an emergency state. You can not murder your spouse if they're abusive but you can sue them if you collect proof of on-going abuse. Yet, if your abusive spouse were ever to lounge at you with a weapon and you killed her in self-defence you would be able to kill them and, proven the situation, be free to move on with your life. The thing is the system is imperfect and right now such a thing as proving when a life begins or other matters like if we have souls or if there are Gods are very outside of our power so we are limited in this but it'd be reckless to just discard an option only because of morality. Morality is fine but we need something more conclusive or supportive of the idea that "life begins at conception" if a complete revoke of abortions is to be attained.
