Astronaut OBLITERATES Republican During Abortion Debate

The issue of abortion was brought up during the Arizona Senate debate between Blake Masters and Mark Kelly. Kelly cited Roe v Wade, talked about a woman’s right to choose, and how Masters believes he knows better. The Majority Report crew discusses how Maters suffers from resting-rich face and how he was matched against an astronaut.

Then, supervisors would say "this person said he/she understood," and the worker would get punished. I would repeatedly tell Management that it was too much of a burden to expect a new trainee to know specifically what mistakes were being made, and to punish them for saying they understood when they really didn't was unfair.

[@AthenaGate]

Very smart move to say he supports Roe v Wade, instead of saying he supports abortions up until x number of months. I actual took the time to read about the decision, it was very well written. Also, if a mother decides to carry a baby for more than 6 months, something tells me they have already made the decision to have the child and the only reason they would have that particular procedure is because it was medically necessary.

[@soulknife20]

Yup. Exactly.

[@PhantomQueenOne]

Bingo!

[@JohnCarterRocks]

I don't support the reasoning behind the decision in Roe v Wade because the USSC decision introduced the viability standard into the abortion debate. The viability argument opened the door to giving fetuses rights like the personhood bill Clown boy Masters supports. The 2004 Unborn victims' rights bill is Unconstitutional since a being can only be assigned rights at birth under the 14th Amendment. I support women ending a pregnancy at any time during the pregnancy before birth for any reason.

[@AthenaGate]

@@JohnCarterRocks I don't disagree with your final statement or reasoning behind it but, women had far more reproductive rights under the decision of Roe v Wade than they do now. The issue with your view is it would be absolutely rejected by many moderates and/or centrists. America is just not that progressive.

[@donnamurphy8551]

Depending on what state you live in, you have to have either one or two doctors, sign something that says the procedure is medically necessary, after the 20-24th week of pregnancy. So, they're either lying or stupid to think you could get an elective abortion at 40 weeks.

It doesn't work. You know when a Republican is like "no we don't want to control women"? It comes off like that, like you're just denying your position even though it's actually your position. It makes people MORE likely to think you support late term abortions

[@claytonstrickland8336]

There should be zero limits on abortion. The idea that women are getting abortions at 8 months for the hell of it is a moronic GOP talking point. Women who have those late term abortions want to have a child and are faced with devastating news. They've chosen names, purchased cribs, and painted rooms. Instead of GOPers understanding this and doing what they can to help the women facing those horrible decisions they go out of their way to pile on to the women in their time of grief.

[@eljaysmiley]

That seems to be their new motto. 💔

[@thebigvlad]

Yes, but we won't get to zero limits until people start thinking about abortion for what it is: terminating a pregnancy, not "killing a fetus". If a fetus is healthy and can be saved during an abortion, that should be done. Unfortunately, people have this idea that abortion is all about "killing a baby". In reality, a fetus dying is just a result of the simple biological fact that it can't survive without a host. And if you're a Christian, you should blame God for that bad design, not the mother.

[@lynneanderson4255]

ABSOLUTELY 💯 Surprisingly, in a (very) few states, as it should be, there's no gestational limit. If an abortion has to take place at 4 months or later, it's because something catastrophic has been revealed or something has suddenly gone horribly wrong. After all, at any point a pregnancy can take a turn for the worst for the fetus, the mother or both. That's no time for some arbitrary time limit to play a role. The commonality of pregnancy and childbirth masks it's danger because it truly is the most dangerous thing that can happen to a woman's health and well-being.

[@wvu05]

@@lynneanderson4255 Indeed. A lot of people forget that as recently as 1900, childbirth was the biggest killer of women in America. Until WWI, men outlived women on average. Yes, we have things that make it easier now, but sometimes things just go wrong.

[@ViridisAmbrosia]

exactly, it's pure hate for women and I can't understand it bc these are the women who they would think were doing everything right but as soon as messy biology happens they want to condemn her and would rather she die or the baby suffer terribly. I don't know how to see it as anything but pure hatred of women. and it's not just life and death, it's the denial of healthcare, like making women carry dead fetuses for as long as possible, risking sepsis and loss of the uterus to finally save her... I just ... it's beyond horrifying. and to think of the medical bills incurred also having to go back to the hospital over and over asking, will you save me now? and if they have their way any time a woman has a miscarriage she'll have to go to trial for it, if they determine it's somehow her fault they'll jail her ... women can't help if a miscarriage happens they just can't and it often causes so much grief for them

[@CrochetIsLife54]

Masters just didn’t do his homework. Once a pregnancy hits the halfway mark, you can assume that the baby is wanted. Doctors will not perform an abortion on a normal fetus once viability is reached. If the mother’s life is in danger, they will induce labor or do a c-section to deliver the WANTED baby. Abortions past the 20 weeks point are done for only two reasons: 1) the mother will die without it and the fetus is too young to survive or 2) the fetus has something horribly wrong and is nonviable (will not live no matter what the doctor does). Pregnancy can kill women. Forcing a woman to carry a nonviable fetus to term is dangerous to the mother and very cruel. No woman gets to the 8 month point and suddenly says, “I changed my mind.” Even so, no doctor would grant such a request without a compelling reason.

[@LiarJudas666]

Seriously, the way I was imagining this is to respond to it being brought up with, "only crazy people and liars believe a woman would carry a fetus for 8 months then terminate on a whim." It is equally important to point out that no doctor would agree on a whim either.

[@moontainbew5018]

It's just a tactic to divide people instead of like how the person combatting someone showing some very troublesome signs of what he thinks should be a very important role for government to have is merely showing just how moronic his viewpoints are by saying: "I don't understand why there are people who think they know more about this subject than the doctors and women involved who have to have this procedure performed..."

Isn’t one of the functions of a debate moderator to kind of check blatantly false statements made by those debating? I mean, if they aren’t going to tell Masters that doctors aren’t snapping babies’ spinal cords and just basically committing infanticide, what are they doing there? Why have them?

[@kyliepechler]

Exactly. If they are going to let Masters falsely describe the time of 8 months and 30 days an "abortion", when it would be an actual "birth", because by then, the baby is 100% viable (unless it has already naturally died in the womb), then there is no point in holding a debate using wrong medical terms.

My Republican Party has backed itself into a corner. By aligning with the religious we have forced ourselves to be the “non science” party. We have given up being the intellectuals in the room and thus we see such “unusual” candidates with positions on things that just don’t make sense, even to a normal, rational individual. The only path out of this is the continual trend of people turning away from religion and at some point, their voting block won’t matter and we can then turn on them and start running on ideas worthy of a modern society.

I’ve never heard a woman say “Whoopsies, I’m eight months pregnant, better schedule that abortion.” It’s always stories of mothers who want these babies but can’t for x,y,z reason. There was this tragic one in Texas where the child was pretty much dead, and the mother had to go through the whole schpeal of “you’re killing your child”/“this is what your baby looks like”/hear the heartbeat, you know, the basic Republican fearmongering and manipulation. This mother is preemptively grieving her dead baby, and y’all just want to rub her face in it. That’s messed up and cruel. THAT is late term abortion.

[@paskowitz]

This was excellent framing in a state like Arizona.

[@Idolikethis]

The MOST frustrating thing for me is that no one pushes back on the vulgar language he exposed during the debate. We have to make sure, for certain everyone know the claim of "up until" is a seriously seedy way of speaking on "late term abortion" which is in a whole NEW category. Like a mother who desperately wants to give a vaginal birth but the baby is breached and strangling to death with each contraction. Or a still born or...bleeding out as as the mother who cannot even part with the pregnancy not going to term naturally in the case of miscarriage. Like. PUSH THEM OFF A CLIF about that from now on.

He said right away the baby is a no go and my wife had a 50% chance of survivable 3 hours later she was OK , But like he said she is not out of the woods yet. She was not able to have anymore Children , due too they had to remove so much where the egg had attached itself . I was so happy my wife just Survived she was upset of the loss of the baby . and that she could not have anymore children.

Love the way that politician and his cohorts think every pregnancy will be perfect to term and no threat to the mother's life is cause for medical intervention.

That claim needs to be called out and ridiculed.

[@VortekStarling]

The fact that it's legal to abort at 9 months doesn't mean a woman can just go into Planned Parenthood at 9 months and say I'd like an abortion please and they would say okay, that'll be $88 please, will you be paying by cash or credit? It means if the woman will die unless the baby is aborted then it's legally possible, not that it would actually happen. In fact it's also legal in some states already, like Colorado, Boebert's home state, is anybody talking about all the 9 month abortions going on there? Wouldn't Boebert be holding up a paper and saying this is how many 9 month abortions have happened here, isn't that terrible?

First of all, most abortions are not performed at "8 months and 30 days." That is called induced labor. As in mother and/or baby are in distress. Ectopic pregnancy is incompatible with life. Left untreated, the woman dies. Some pregnancies are incompatible with life due to extreme medical issues. I read about a baby with no brain, kidneys or lungs. Why make both suffer? Forcing a mother to carry a stillborn? I just can't with these people. And then they want to put hands on birth control, Plan B and the abortion pill. None of these Repugs are taking into account the psychological damage to mothers facing these issues. There was a politician who believed that a rapist's baby is a gift from God!

Politicians cannot and should not make medical decisions for people. They have no right to do it. They have no medical expertise. And they have no knowledge of their constituents’ medical or personal histories. The only way laws prohibiting pregnancy termination could possibly be justified is if fetuses have a RIGHT to be in or remain in women’s bodies. The thing is, NO ONE has this right. No person on earth has a right for any PART of themselves to be inside another person’s body against that person’s will. No person has a right to use another person’s organs to preserve their own existence against that person’s will. If no one has these rights, then how the hell can a fetus have them? A fetus cannot possibly possess rights that no person in the world possesses. Why is this so difficult for antiabortionists to grasp?
