I love how the pro-abortion argument always boils down to "we should be able to kill babies because they're an inconvenience to us." That's what "they don't want to" really means, and I'm glad you're revealing the motivation behind pro-choice. If it were just about protecting victims of rape and incest (which is a complete red herring argument on the part of pro-abortionists) then the pro-abortion side would be against 98.5% of abortions, but they're not. They're fighting for their right to live hedonistic lifestyles with no consequences because their lives are so sad and meaningless they couldn't imagine life without getting drunk and f*cking random strangers. It's so important to them that they're willing to kill children to do it. Really disgusting stuff.
Do you get to have my kidney if you need it? It’s a simple question.
Nope, and you don't get to intentionally kill me for needing a kidney either.
i support this because it might stop all the liberals from flooding my red state. stay in california please! stop moving here!
In all seriousness, whats wrong with letting states restrict or allow abortions how they see fit? blue states already ban guns (which is CLEARLY STATED in the constitution as a RIGHT). I can't buy certain weapons here in NY and I CANNOT for the life of me own and carry one in NYC. A red state wants to ban abortions is an issue for liberals?
So which is it? Do you live in a red state? Or in NY? It cannot be both. ;)
Do you get to have my kidney if you need it? It’s a simple question.
Nope, and you don't get to intentionally kill me for needing a kidney either.
Do you understand that your death is end result of this scenario? My kidney is the only one in the world that can save your life. If I don’t give it to you in this scenario, you will not live.
MSM headline: If abortion is banned, gay marriage could go next.
As if gay marriage is as important as life and death!
I’d say it may be more important so there are more loving families ready and eager to adopt all these babies… but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you don’t support that either.
I support Gay marriage and abortion rights.
I do not think LBGT special privileges need to be pushed onto us
We need to teach these men and women some responsibility. Killing an innocent child is wrong, and everybody knows that deep down in their soul. They shouldn’t be having reckless unprotected sex without the use of condoms or birth control, which are so simple to find thanks to some really good government programs. If you have unprotected sex and become pregnant, you should not have the option to take the life of an innocent baby. That baby is your responsibility now. Rape is on a totally different level and I support abortions if the mother has been raped.
No matter how you feel about abortion, if you’re intelligent and honest you should agree that Roe was a flagrantly terrible decision. It located a “right to abortion,” which is not in the Constitution, within the “right to privacy,” which is also not in the Constitution.

Is the child created from rape not innocent and undeserving of protection?
Justice Ginsburg's husband was my mentor in law school, one of the best minds I have ever had the pleasure to come across. Justice Ginsburg indeed thought that the legislature should have stepped in. She also stated that she did not understand why the decision wasn't based on 14th Amendment grounds, pointing to the fact, by way of example, that men can have vasectomies (medically regulated of course) and that women under the guise of non-discrimination should be afforded some of the same freedoms. One of the reasons Justice Ginsburg's feminism struck such a popular chord is that while strident in her support of women, she navigated her views within traditional frameworks such as marriage (and she lived it as I cannot imagine being a better person or husband than Marty - one thing I learned from Marty was never to engage in name calling in discussion). My sister in law's family were close friends of Harry Blackmun - he was the GC of Mayo clinic for a time - and it was frequently mentioned to Blackmun by those close to him that he was legislating from the bench and that science may alter the underpinnings of the decision significantly. Blackmun simply stated he did what he thought was right at the time. The real news here is the leak from the Court. Lots of speculation over who leaked it - but if not a Justice - their career is over. There has been some speculation that the leak was from the most politicized Justice given the need to protect clerks, but everything is speculative. There has never been a leak of this kind in Court history.

Illegal searches are prohibited by the Constitution. The government needs a compelling interest to enter into your home or private life.
I 100% believe that children resulting from rape are as deserving of protection as every other human is. I just don’t think that stopping abortions that result from rape will ever come to fruition in todays world full of uneducated people who don’t care for the rights of babies.
Libertarians are in favor of government policies that protects its people from (even ones not born yet) - it's why we are in favor of state-run police and military. You're confusing libertarians with anarchists. What was your plan with this post, though? Did you picture a bunch of libertarians reading it and going "Oh that's right, I'm Libertarian I'm not allowed to oppose anti-abortion laws. Thanks barkingsealion, I'll change my attitude now!"
The Libertarian Party also have policies like decriminalizing drugs, sex work and gambling, are pro-gay marriage, pro-trans rights, support ending restrictions on immigration, are anti-capital punishment and have even proposed removing powers from the police to use excessive force.
Libertarianism originated with Marxists who viewed state enforcement of private property as being restrictive to liberty. It was then reinvented by right wingers advocating for freedom from government involvement in the economy and society.
More recently, right wingers in general now describe themselves as libertarian even if they don't subscribe to any socially liberal policies.

Right, so the mother should also be forced to give their adult child a kidney should they need one.
Funny, I see Europe as just another third world poop hole that we Americans pay too much defending. I love the fact that the US isn’t Europe and I really don’t care what you think Europe’s opinion of us is.
As a born and raised American living in Europe for a long time now, my standard of living ia higher and my freedoms are better protected in Europe than in in the us.
That because the United States continues to militarily occupy Western Europe almost 80 years after liberating it and continues to pay for much of the defense of Western Europe. If you like Europe so much, perhaps you would welcome the United States pulling its forces out (a good way to prevent abortion BTW) and letting an enlightened Europe deal with Russia on its own.
I never thought I'd see the day. After 50 years the Originalist legal movement is nearly complete. One of the greatest moments in American history.
Be warned, the backlash will get demonic. Evil forces will not go without a fight.
The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.
You have a second rate mind. This is not over and in the end there are no winners here. You want babies to be born but you don’t care about them at all after that.
I 100% believe that children resulting from rape are as deserving of protection as every other human is. I just don’t think that stopping abortions that result from rape will ever come to fruition in todays world full of uneducated people who don’t care for the rights of babies.
That is different than what you wrote minutes ago, when you wrote that you support abortion rights in cases of rape and incest.
I’m very pessimistic and don’t see how the desires of the majority of American voters will be realized going forward.
So, it works like this. If the state of Alabama wants to ban abortion, they can do that. If the state of California wants to allow abortion as long as the baby's big toe is still in the womb, they can do that as well.
