re: Great message on abortion

If it is under 30 weeks, there is no way it is a person in the first place.

This accounts for almost all abortions.

Nearly all abortions in 2020 took place early in gestation: 93.1% of abortions were performed at =13 weeks’ gestation; a smaller number of abortions (5.8%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and even fewer (0.9%) were performed at =21 weeks’ gestation

You know how many times a doctor aborts a baby because the health of the mother? The answer is 0%.

Yes, there are absolutely certain medical conditions that warrant us to very urgently encourage a woman to have an abortion,” said Stacey Beck, MD and Assistant Professor at the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, Maternal Fetal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Physicians

“One of the most common reasons I help women to terminate their pregnancy is because their water is broke [early in pregnancy] and they have an infection,” Beck said.

quote:

---

If there’s a clear sign of infection, the condition can be life threatening, “because there is an extremely high risk that the infection inside of the uterus spreads very quickly into her bloodstream and she becomes septic. If she continues the pregnancy it comes at a very high risk of death.”

“Typically, if a woman breaks her water before 20 weeks into her pregnancy, it is usually strongly recommended by medical professionals that she considers an abortion,” Beck said.

A placental abruption, which is when the placenta starts to separate from the uterus, is another condition that could fatally impact a pregnant women’s life. It is “uncommon yet a serious condition,” the Cleveland Clinic states ( here ).

In a “small percentage of abruptions,” Beck said, if a woman is bleeding so heavily that she can go into hemorrhagic shock, “then we would also recommend a very urgent termination of pregnancy or abortion as a life saving measure for the mom, in order to prevent her bleeding to death.”

Another condition in which staying pregnant comes at a very high risk of death for the mother is preeclampsia early in pregnancy (less than 24 weeks),

You are ignorant to this so you shouldn't have an opinion and expecting a 12 year old to birth and raise a child from her step-dad raping her is beyond fricked up.

I already clearly stated the answer to this in my first post but you apparently are illiterate. It was the primary point so there is no way you could have missed it otherwise.

You are killing another human being.

Again, already showed why that is not the case.

Also noticed how you didn't want to argue about the medical community confirming that abortions are in fact sometimes necessary to save the mother's life.

Since you got checked there hard, maybe you should consider that everything else you believe about this is also wrong.

So this is the “wall tactic” for 2024?

Nice.

The dems should be raked over the coals on "birthday abortion." The GOP should not support abortions religious extremes, but draw the ban line at the heart beat of the fetus. At that point most people will see a fetus as an unborn child. The dems crazy birthday abortion is a starkly clear case of murder.

This is the DeSantis view

Trump disagrees

Your argument is based on sentience/ability to form a memory


I guess it’s ok in your mind to murder someone in a coma or someone with Alzheimer’s?

You're not worth it. Adam Banks just pointed out how obviously ludicrous your position on back-solving for genocide birth control is. You're nothing.

Great message on abortion

Sarcasm I presume?

I'm a DeSantis fan.
But his dishonesty in that clip is obvious, which is unfortunate. BS is not his normal schtick, and he doesn't wear it well. It's frankly one of the worst responses I've heard him give.

First, Trump has no weakness here. Without Trump's SCOTUS appointments, FL would still be allowing 24wk abortions.

Second, DeSantis enacted a 6wk law in Florida.... AFTER he was elected. Not before. Had he done it before, the election result would have been quite different.

Why?
Because 6wk laws are the worst of both worlds. If you're going to ban abortion, then ban it! Don't try and hide behind a 6wk nonsensical law.

For the Pro-Life purists abortion is still legal in Florida.

For Pro-Abortion people 6wks constitutes a de facto total ban.

In response, there will be an immediate illegal distribution of mifepristone and misoprostol outside of medical supervision. With that, there will be associated rare but major complications, including birth defects/IGR and maternal death. The blame for those will be placed by the complicit media at the feet of the Anti-Abortion faction.

But for the majority of women, those not in either extreme, there is a different reality.
Societal pressures on young women to become sexually active have never been higher. Meanwhile, accidents can happen. If they do, depending on how regular the girl's cycle is, at "6wks" she's only actually been pregnant 3-4wks. If she mistakes post-conception spotting for menstruation, she loses her legal window entirely.

Under the 6wk law, a young girl has to recognize an accident happened, obtain a pregnancy test, rely on it to be accurate, decide what to do almost immediately, hook up with a provider (assuming one is available) for a pair of abortion pills, and hope those work in round one, because a second round would fall outside the legal window.

For a promiscuous 30y/o whose "been there, done that," recognizing pregnancy and getting immediate access to Ab pills is doable. For a 17y/o high schooler (50% of girls in the US are now sexually active by age 18), the process is significantly more daunting.
