If the mother is at risk of losing her life giving birth, then and only then is abortion acceptable in my opinion.

[@zackyzau2505]

I'm left leaning but this is the problem I have with most leftists on this issue. Whenever abortion is brought up the left always looks for exceptions to prove their point. However most abortions cases are of adult women who conceived the child during consensual intercourse but don't want to take responsibility for their actions.

[@Overhill_Farm]

@@zackyzau2505 A woman must ALWAYS take responsiblity for her actions in these cases, because she has no other choice than to do so. Men, however, not so much. You might not agree with how she handles it, but handle it she must.

@our hair defies gravity so can we I'm curious when do you think human life starts? At conception? Is a miscarriage manslaughter then? How can a zygote have legal rights?

[@eschatological]

@our hair defies gravity so can we If human life starts at conception, if I kill a woman who is two weeks pregnant, who doesn't even know she's pregnant herself, and the autopsy comes back positive for pregnancy, should I be charged with double murder? This is the legal question I often pose pro-lifers, as a pro-choice Catholic lawyer. I think the obvious, reasonable answer is no. Human life is more than biological life. It is only religious ideation which suggests that a fetus has rights from conception. Ironically, religion used to say life began at the "quickening" (IE 5 1/2 months) as late as the 19th century, until abortions became a medical procedure - weirdly, that standard from 150 years ago makes much more sense than today's religious standard. I think you could perhaps reasonably charge me with double murder if I killed a 6 month pregnant woman. But our country is based on what reasonable people think, without regard to what any one religion says. So the question should be - where would it be reasonable to say life begins? I think conception is too early, and probably birth is too late. But if I was making a law on it, I'd argue the person gets rights when they get formally recognized as a person.

Talk is cheap and it's easy to say you love this country. It's quite another to take action and prove it. I think Yang is just the candidate that people can unite behind to finally take action.

And that majority consists of real working class people. Together we can do this!

Hillary took advantage of rules that gave her decision-making rights by paying-off Dem debts. Dems were deeply in debt in 2015-6. Hillary was great at raising money. So she paid down debts and rules said she could decide certain things--but none of this was illegal, Bernie was welcome to do the same but did not want to raise any money for the Dem Party. Putin's people made it all sound so nefarious, again using the ignorance of Americans, as well as their ready willingness to see conspiracies everywhere, against them. He did not have people only work for Trump--their orders included Bernie as one of their guys. Bernie had to know, yet he never spoke out against Putin.

@monokhem lol really? Pelosi openly stated in an interview she has no intention of ever pursuing Impeachment because as she put it. Trump's just not "worth it". Meanwhile, people in America are suffering, families are being torn apart, hate and racism are rampant all because the tired old grandma doesn't think stopping Trump is "worth it". See how the voters feel about that in 2020. Voters respect strength more than anything. They don't vote based on morals, they don't vote based on doing whats right. This is why the Dems lose time and time again and it honestly makes me feel embarrassed to be one.

[@PuzzleBox83]

You clearly have misconceptions of Ohio. Ohio is a very purple State. We have a mix of all people. It is a microcosm of our Nation. Most of our politicians are centrists no matter what their label is. Just look at our ex Governor (wish he still was) John Kasich. One of the few GOP members with a backbone willing to stand up against Trump and voted for Clinton. Unfortunately, just like Nationally, the GOP don't play by the rules here. We had massive gerrymandered districts. For this reason the furthest right of our state was emboldened as no progressives were voting in their districts or had power. Luckily those lines were found unconstitutional and we are hoping to have it cleared up by 2020 Election.

I also don't understand your goal here, are you trying to insult liberals in Ohio? Is this supposed to be some next level political strategy that is going over my head? Are you trying push the populous in Ohio into the GOP? I really don't get your motive here. One reason I guess us midwestern liberals don't understand coastal liberals I imagine.

The real takeaway here is that Andrew Yang, who is far more progressive than Biden, is drawing the support of conservatives like Matt Lewis and even Trump sympathizers. And Yang is actually pro-choice. Democrats have to wake up to the golden opportunity here.

Bodily autonomy is something that should be respected. You shouldn't force a woman to have or not have an abortion. You shouldn't force a baby to undergo a purely cosmetic, painful procedure, regardless of whether they'll remember it or not.

[@natural91LC]

poor kid . My heart is broken. WTF is wrong with the US? Never been happier to live in the EU

[@Laura-oe2dl]

if life is to be protected at all cost, and that's more important than body autonomy, why aren't conservatives in favour of state mandated organ donations? life is precious, I need a kidney and the only match doesn't want to be forced to go through that despite not endangering his/her life, therefore the government must step in and protect life by forging the individual autonomy over the life of another

[@nortonvast952]

It would be nice, wouldn't it, if liberals and libertarians could argue that point effectively in debate on national programs? I keep seeing them mindlessly repeating "Choice, Choice, Choice" without making the obvious argument that is actually quite devastating -- no one is required to sustain another with their bodily resources. If my neighbor is dying of kidney failure, and I'm a match, the government can't come to my door and force me to donate a kidney so that he can survive. They can't even force me to give blood. The right to bodily autonomy is valued ABOVE the right to life, as it should be. If it were otherwise, we'd be living in a nightmare society where the state could randomly force you to undergo horrific operations for the "greater good." The anti-abortionists want to force women to nurture an embryo with her bodily resources, endure the pain and physical disfigurement that comes with pregnancy, and suffer through childbirth (which has been described as one of the most severe ordeals one can experience). All to save the life of a simple embryo which, in the first trimester, has no brain, no mind, and no ability to feel pain. If pro-choicers don't start learning how to argue this issue effectively, we will shortly be seeing American women thrown in prison for aborting a first trimester embryo. Yes, it can happen here.
