That is the most dumb thing I’ve heard in a while. Morning after pills are a last ditch effort and not a guarantee by any means. Also, a lot of times rape leads to hospitalization, so rape victims don’t usually just wake up the next morning to go to their local CVS for a morning after pill

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards on Thursday signed into law a bill banning abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, one of many near-total bans on abortion to pass around the country in recent months.

Yea if you get raped you would probably be in a position to get an abortion before 6 weeks. I think you would know what to look for

I don’t need to be raped to understand that rape victims aren’t usually in a position to drive to the local CVS for a morning after pill the next morning. You are the one with the dumb take here

I’m gonna let you think about that one for a second. Pregnancy from rape is not “meant to be”

I think even though it is called the morning after pill it can be taken 5 or 6 days later. You would also be able to get a “normal” abortion up to six weeks later.

I mean that's really the point why should some lives matter and others don't? That was the entire MO of Sanger and the eugenics movement back then, to prevent the birth and fulfilling life of the "unworthy" the most subhuman concept I've ever heard

A hospital can administer them. Why you keep bringing up CVS?? You a rep?

Also,stop painting with a broad brush on the subject.. The violent rape you speak of is a small percentage of the already small percentage of the actual cases why women are getting abortions.

Ok, but it would be very simple to just have a rape clause in the abortion law. Instead you are forcing women who go through that trauma to go to another state if they don’t want to have their rapist’s child

Sorry just want to make sure my position is clear here. I’m perfectly fine with the overall law of banning abortions, but if the mother’s life is at risk, or if it is a case of rape, I believe there should be exceptions.

By the way, just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean you need to make assumptions about their character or claim they are “virtue signaling”, which is just one of those key terms that is meaning less and less the more it’s used.

No, because then it becomes a loop hole.. The percentage of rape would become astronomical in the state. So if she was legitimately raped then the female in question has a serious choice to make.. Figure out how to get a morning after pill immediately or travel to another state..

A girl from our local high school was raped and got pregnant. She thought about aborting it but declined. A healthy baby was born and it’s a beautiful little girl. She and her family are all in and love this little girl unconditionally. She now says she couldn’t imagine not having her in her life. Great things can come out of bad situations.

You do realize how quickly that would turn into a cross country journey if the current rate of these abortion laws in the south keeps up? Yea she could go to Louisiana within 6 weeks for now but I’m sure Louisiana won’t stop there. Neither will any of the other southern states. I just think that there has to be a better way to solve this abortion for convenience BS than telling rape victims they have to have their rapist’s child

Well yea, obviously the baby could come and everyone loves it and is happy, but not all rape victims are gonna feel that way.

We have a ban on aborting a baby once a heartbeat can be detected, signed today I believe


21 days. That’s plenty of time in case of rape, an oops moment, etc.

I agree with the heartbeat law unless the baby is brain dead or risks death of the mother.

Where I don’t agree with Alabama’s law is a clear separation of church and state.

I agree that abortion is wrong, but I also think women have a right to choose.

It’s a fricked up issue that will never please everyone no matter what laws are passed.

Not my problem.

Why? What gives you any real indication that something like that will actually happen?

Again you're defending a position on such a small percentage of actual abortions. A large percentage of abortions are done for convenience plain and simple.. Thats what these bills are aimed at stopping.
