sounds right for my shithole state. we dont call it misery for nothing

I like it just fine here.

This is fine. There needs to be a clear timeline, and this is good enough. With some people openly supporting post birth abortion, I would support more states doing this. Post birth abortion is not okay and guidelines like this are necessary to prevent it.

Oh look. Southcoast is posting about fake news propaganda and trying to pass it off as legitimate. Must be a second ending in a number.

Odd gender bathrooms

You're either a troll or a complete fool. Probably both.

I have seen people say that is Mal_Fet. Especially believable after how he views Nazis as leftists

8 weeks is plenty of time, not sure why people are getting crazy over this one. 2 months is plenty of time, and if you need more time than give the kid up for adoption.

Many people dont even know theyre pregnant by 8 weeks.

That is two months without a period. After one you should be checking on that.

Actually, it's one and a half months without a period. Your "gestational " time is calculated from two weeks before your last period.

Let's say your last period started on April 19th. You would expect to get it again around today (May 16th), assuming you're very regular; many young women aren't due to fluctuating hormones. So, you wait a week. Nothing comes. You even take a test and it comes up negative (many women will not have enough hCG at a week late for a positive).

You wait another week, take another test, and it is positive. Congratulations, you are officially eight weeks pregnant and legally unable to get an abortion under this moronic law.

You don't have to be a woman to understand their biology. I learned; you can too.

The fact that conception is a possible consequence arising from sex, and thus maybe it's worthwhile to get tested prior to the point of where/when you notice that you've missed your period is somehow looked at as being ridiculous, is itself ridiculous.

But then that's the same mindset with STDs. Not being proactive until you finally notice that burning sensation is caused by the flesh melting disease caught two weeks back.

Tests can be very inconclusive, even up through week 4-5 of pregnancy. Many of the early symptoms of pregnancy are identical to early symptoms of getting your period. Not all women are regular with their period and sometimes, birth control stops their period completely, etc. theres so many different things that make rhese bills ridiculous and unrealistic, its not even funny. But thats the way they want it, of course.

Anybody think its funny how the states who are ranked the worst in education pass these laws?

Makes you wonder

No it really does make perfect sense

I always try to be optimistic and say the world is ever moving forward, but America is trying its best to sprint backward recently.

It's not terribly surprising to me. In the US, sex education is extremely poor. We certainly didn't learn any of that at my high school; I had to read that on my own.

Gonna be a lot of modding in this topic tonight.

Then there are going to be a LOT of women taking drugs on purpose to mess up their baby

If I was a woman, I would purposely drink alcohol and fall on my stomach and take things that will SCREW the baby. Then deliver and throw it away for adoption.

Christian sharia law rages on in the US

I know....its horrible. All our women covered from head to toe, unable to drive, hold down jobs, or even leave their house without permission of their husbands under penalty of death. Not to mention all the Christians who viciously behead Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and others on a daily basis because they follow the wrong religion.....why just today on my way to work I saw a Christian toss a gay man off a roof.....I can't complain about it because they are just following God's rules......and are righteous people.

Oh wait......none of that shit actually happens here because we don't have a sharia law and you all are just upset because once again society didn't give you what you want.

It's weird how you say "didn't give you what you want."

Like this was a toy we didn't get for Christmas or that someone else got to be it in a game of hide and seek.

Literally half of the country has had a Constitutional right ripped away from them/are in serious danger of having it ripped away.

Where in the Constitution did the Founders draft that a woman could kill a baby in her womb.....must have missed that part.

The Ninth Amendment

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Gosh, I bet you thought that was a clever gotcha.

I'm not American. But isn't the 14th amendment also cited as one of the components of abortion? The right to privacy, as in, the government can't tell you what to do with your own body?

And yes, it's the woman's body. The fetus is not its own person until it's born.
