Ah, the thoughts of the unhinged liberal white woman.

That link is hardly a legit analysis.

So gestational limitations (5 weeks to term) are all lumped into one category?



The fact of the matter is that prior to yesterday, the rest of the developed world had way more restrictive abortion access.

Now, the US will run the gambit from super restrictive to North Korean “abortion on demand” and everything in between.

I know it sucks to say, but this reality is a part of our decision that we had to discuss.

I don't care that you cared enough to read and respond this guy's post to tell him that he cared enough to read and respond to his post.

Which now puts its baseline firmly below pretty much every developed country.

Not sure what part of this you aren’t getting?

You realize about half of the states in the US are about to completely ban abortion under all circumstances right?


And another group are going to have the most wide-open abortion laws in the world on par with authoritarian hellholes.

They won't be, they'll be held up as the majority by most of the institutional voices in the country.

I believe what you did was wrong, but I'm sure it was extremely painful and difficult.

I may have misheard the new reports, I don’t believe there is a push for a „National 15 week ban“. It’s up to the State Legislatures to decide. Did I misunderstand?

Kevin McCarthy indicated he would support a national 15 week ban and Mike Pence said something similar. That said I highly doubt the GOP makes any serious move on that for a while.

Pretty sure yesterday literally prevented national anything related to abortion. Unless there is a bill. But that could have been a bill at any point in the last 50 years.

Funny that you use “wide open laws”, and “authoritarian” when referring to a single thing.

Viability is getting earlier and earlier. So basically, all the ‘host’ is doing is taking care of the baby until the baby is born.

I'm going to open up a tire change and abortion center in CA. Maybe have an on-site tattoo guy, heroin pods for safe usage, and really good grass around the building for delightful al fresco shitting.

Due to our state of residence, this was not legal unless the mother's life was in danger so we had to go to Boulder, CO to have it done.


Abortion on demand was legal in literally all 50 states until yesterday morning.

This is correct. It wasn’t medically necessary at all. What is customary in these situations is to carry the fetus to term with high likely hood that it dies in utero at which point a D&C is performed, which is 100% legal in all states. If by chance the fetus makes it to term and is delivered, the baby can be made DNR and institute comfort measures.

I have to believe under these circumstances, the waiting room was a group therapy session.


Maybe, but wouldn't it have been awkward if OP was in the waiting room asking everyone why they were getting an abortion. One couple was like, my baby has spinal bifida, and the next couple was like, my baby has a slim chance of making it if he's born, and the next couple is like I didn't pull out fast enough.

When my wife was pregnant with my second son (now 16) she was 36. At one on the appts her doctor became concerned and sent her to a specialist for further scans. We didn’t think much of it (she’d had a miscarriage 4 years earlier and my oldest 2 years prior and we’d seen this specialist before). We got called in for a consultation and we’re told they thought there was a chance our child could have downs and wanted to do more invasive testing that would tell with near certainty one way or the other. My only question was, what would happen if such invasive testing was positive for downs. They said we’d be presented with the choice of an abortion if that was the case. We took the night to discuss and decided to do no further testing…no matter the result we were not doing that. My second son was later born, he was small but perfectly healthy and did not have Down’s syndrome. He’s now 16, very smart, a bit taller than his older brother, and has no idea any of that ever happened.

No one like this was there in our case. I don't imagine a ton of guys like that actually attend the procedure.
