You'll notice they specified mother. If its born, why doesnt the father get a say? If its born this isn't an abortion/women's issue

They said mother and the family

Lay out for us a potential SCOTUS ruling for which these new laws will preserve the abortion status quo wants of these particular states through the implementation of this new legislation.
I do not see it happening because I think that SCOTUS will have respect for stare decisis, regardless of whether they LIKE the decision.

But these legislators doubtless envision a ruling that basically says "Oops, Roe was a crappy decision. There is no right to abortion anywhere in the Constitution, whether in some theoretical Constitutional right to privacy or elsewhere. Every State can now make whatever abortion law it chooses."

In the face of that (unfounded) concern, multiple States are codifying their interpretation of the Roe standards.

That may be, but we are talking about you. We are talking about you because you are making nonsensical statements about state actions.

Roe overstepped states rights through 20 wks, but it offered no such protection for viable infants even though it recognized abortion of viable infants as problematic.

THE ONLY EFFECT late term action (such as those of NY and VA) could have on SCOTUS is to force SCOTUS to close the intellectually inconsistent Roe >20wk exception.

Yes. I would however like to see the full context of the quote. It doesn't appear they are referring to a healthy baby in this instance. And by healthy I don't mean without flaws. I mean going to die within minutes or hours outside of the womb.

Op provided no link or context to which situation this applies to. If it's as terrible as it sounds then it's infant murder as clear as day. I have a hunch we are missing some very specific context here.

That doesn't really explain your theory of the preemptive need for such legislation AT THIS TIME. If anything, you would think states wouldn't want to tie their hands if they are really anticipating the SCt sending this "back to the states."

Withholding pointless, heroic medical measures for a non-viable baby does not sound remotely like murder to any sane person. THAT is the context of the governor's statement. I have taken the liberty of adding-back the FULL quote in boldface.

That would seem to be the case. I know the bill sponser said in an interview that her bill allows for an abortion to be performed during labor and even during delivery. That's right, DURING LABOR AND DELIVERY.

The governor's words seem to take it one step furhter.

Go find/watch the video of those sadistic fricks high fiving each other after their “victory”. It’s a sick moment in human history.

So I have a child who is born with no kidneys. That baby is born and technically could be somewhat kept alive.

My wife and I want only comfort care for the baby to pass. You think the hospital and government should over rule our beliefs and force to keep the baby alive by machines.


Once born, even if the infant has no kidneys, the infant is an American citizen and has the constitutional right to LIFE or do you believe only the children of illegal aliens born in the USA have constitutional rights?

Next will be a trial period. 6 months trial and if you don't want it we'll just give it a little shot.

I have added-back the full quote in two posts. He was talking about non-viable births, which is an issue not even addressed the (failed) proposed statute.

But only addressed one of the two scenarios he described
1)where there may be severe deformaties
2)where there may be a baby that’s not viable

You only discuss 2.

Ok I just watched the video and the text you quoted is accurate.

However severe deformities is a lot different than the fetus not being viable. You can't murder someone because they have deformities no matter how severe. That's murder. Plain and simple. Governor should resign for promotion of infant murder of the deformed.

The Democrats have completely fricked up something that I used to accept as true about them

There was a time when I would discuss abortion where I assumed that we all at least agree that a full-term baby wasn't okay to abort.

now these frickers are actually talking about it being okay to basically aboard it after it's out of the womb

Let’s be clear, your scenario is not what this law is about, it’s about ensuring Roe v Wade is never overturned, the people and the courts have spoken, murrder is legal if the victim has no voice and can’t defend itself.

And using deformities as a justification is literally Nazi level shite. A deformity won't kill a baby. You'd have to proactively murder it post birth. Disgusting.
