That's one hell of a virtue signal.

If forced to bet on it in an over/under scenario with the over being set at 5, I'd bet the under on the number abortions Apple employees get in Texas.

Hell. I'd bet the under on 10 if we were talking nationwide.

Apple employees aren't exactly in the wheelhouse of abortion customers.

If, in the scheme of all that is going on in the nation, abortion sways you to vote Dem, the level of stupid that indicates isn't even possible to quantify.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple CEO Tim Cook has reportedly indicated his company is willing to cover out-of-state medial expenses for workers who need to travel because of the new Texas abortion law.



This seems to tiptoe the line that your suggesting you don't want your female employees taking maternity leave.

The Cult of Abortion is so strange. I'm taken aback by people that demonize the pro-life side. I am probably more sympathetic to most here for the pro-choice side, but man, there is a certain element of it that is undoubtedly evil.

Tim Cook - a Sodomite who also sheds innocent blood.

After 100 million years, you will not have reduced your sentence of eternal damnation by a single day, Timmy.

What does it matter? Is a little state sanctioned/funded murder okay with you? How many baby murders does it take to cross the line for you?

I've read the talking points on both sides of the argument, but like Covid bullshite, you don't know what numbers to trust. That said, I think it's fair to suggest that at least 1% of abortions are late term, so that would be minimum 6-8K late term abortions per year. Or in other terms, about 2500x as many unarmed blacks not resisting arrest that are killed by cops per year.

Now then, tell the class - have you seen a late term abortion? If you have, are you comfortable saying, "yeah, nothing wrong with that, that is definitely not a human life being snuffed out"?

So, have you? I can provide a link if you need.

I’d like to know how many abortion supporters have ever seen a 3rd trimester abortion.

Your original post asked about 3rd trimester abortions yet your response to my post gives stats about "late term" abortions.

3rd trimester abortions are different from "late term" abortions. Late term abortions are those performed later than 21 weeks from gestation (or 19 weeks from fertilization).

So, to answer your question, I have not seen a 3rd trimester abortion, and neither has hardly anyone else. The CDC does not even provide statistics on 3rd trimester abortions.

3rd trimester abortions are part of the disinformation propagated by anti-abortion advocates.

Why don't you provide a statistic for the number of 3rd trimester abortions in the U.S. ?

Of course you should have some sort of proof of that or you wouldn't have made a response.

You know because you wouldn't want to be known as being completely full of shite, would you?

Okay, so at what point in a pregnancy do you believe an abortion becomes wrong?

There are no stats on 3rd trimester abortions. That's how I knew you are full of shite.

You don't even know what the deliniation of a "late term" abortion is, and yet you're on here posting crap about it.

2X full of shite.

More Democrats than Republicans were pro-life until the Republicans made it a political issue to get Reagan elected.

So don't give me a bunch of sanctimonious crap about abortions.

Full of shite how? I didn’t make any big claim about 3rd trimester abortions? I’ve never claimed to know all the statistics about abortions. In fact, I think I actuallly posted that like Covid and climate change, there’s very little credible data out there. My argument is that a ton of pro abortion morons are pussies about their own beliefs.

Why don’t you answer questions about your views? Don’t go squishy about what you believe. In your view, at what point does a fetus become a human being and abortion becomes wrong?

The Supreme Court has proposed that the stage at which the state has an overriding interest in protecting a fetus is at the point where the fetus becomes viable- capable of surviving on its own outside the body of the mother. That point is between 21 and 24 weeks of gestational development.

I agree with that general framework with carvouts for incest, rape, and health of the mother.
