Nope. It only has an exception for danger to the mothers life.


So they can't get a abortion at all unless in that case? That doesn't seem right. I guess more illegal abortions will happen in that state then. Although maybe they could go to another state to get it done.


Actually, they want it to be illegal to cross state lines for an abortion as well.

Brain activity is brain activity. Sure I dont think a fetus at three weeks is capable of complex emotions but where do you really draw the line on that. Who gets to be the judge of where to draw that line?

A dog has brain activity, you can still put it down because your new places doesn't allow dogs.

I thought we did a pretty good job allowing doctors to determine it.

People don't usually realize when I'm playing devils advocate. Its healthy to challenge your own opinions from time to time. Anyway, lol at comparing a dog to a baby.

I'm fine with first trimester for the most part personally but I can totally understand why people would consider an abortion at 12 weeks in to be inhumane. I dont think that's some insane perspective to have. It's the fact that people are increasingly pushing for third trimester abortions. Also mead, I really couldn't care any less about your opinion. Why dont you just continue to not talk with me? Isnt that why I'm on your ignore list? Like you're definitely the last person on this board I would ever want to have a beer with tbh including Erik p

The problem with that is that not everyone can just go. Too poor to afford a ride or to take time off of work.

Its part of the reasons when states have attempted to pass overly restrictive anti abortion laws that make it too hard to get one, the law has been shot down.

Its not so simple to just say well leave the state, or move for a lot of people.

True. Its not that easy. But for the people who could do that, maybe they would. Plus, you dont really have to move. You could be planning to... But maybe someone has family you can stay with. And you change your address to their for a little while. Just a thought...

Brain activity is irrelevant. It's a matter of body autonomy, period. Full stop. It does not matter if the person who is on the verge of curing cancer is dying and specifically needs one of your kidneys to live. It does not matter, You cannot be forced to use your body or compromise part of your body to save another person, or for any other reason. You cannot force a woman to carry a baby if she decided she does not want it. People have the absolute right to use or preserve their body in any way they see fit.

1) Crap happens, even when you're careful sometimes. Never mind rape or something, where choice and caution aren't options.

2) And? No one is saying that society has to take care of this, just that women shouldn't be prevented from having the option of doing so.

Like no one is telling me I can't get medical care. They also aren't paying for it. But it's still an option, even though no one else is paying for it. People can have options without them being directly provided for them.

A lot of people are trying to play victim. But their are literally taking away their right to their own body by not letting them get the abortion in the first place. Some might be mad that they have to pay. Whatever. Some would be totally fine paying for it. But they arent even letting them get it in the first place. Thats the problem. If they had to pay, the outrage wouldnt be the same as it is now... They are taking the option away from women completely in this case...

Do you or do you not believe that there's a point where it becomes reasonable to ignore the right to bodily autonomy and force somebody to use their body in a certain way? Based on what you're saying, the answer to that question seems to be yes.

You are expected to surrender autonomy to survive so the government already doesn't completely protect bodily autonomy.


You're talking about police interfering in suicide attempts? Right to Die laws are becoming increasingly widespread, actually. Intervening to protect people from mental illnesses that are driving them to suicide remains reasonable, but the attitude is definitely shifting to be in favour of letting competent people decide when they're done with life, recognizing that being able to do so is a matter of bodily autonomy. Demonstrate competence in any of the countries where such laws are in place, and you can commit suicide unmolested. In some places, you can even get a doctor to help you along.

That said, I see where you're coming from, and agree that interfering with bodily autonomy in response to the risk that a mental illness is causing a person to go against their own competent wishes is reasonable, at least up until that possibility has been ruled out. I would even potentially accept that logic for intervening in an abortion, given suitable circumstances (though, logically sound or not, I don't know that the right outcome would be to stop the abortion, since that gets really complicated, plus it creates the loophole of simply declaring anyone who wants an abortion too insane to make their own decision). In that case, though, it's important to frame it that way, rather than acting like that interference is some kind of moral victory.

Trust me, I do care.

HOWEVER I don't see the point in forcing someone to carry a baby, especially like if the baby is probably going to die anyway. That's an issue, too.

It's like... 'Congrats, you got to meet it. Have fun paying for the funeral now.'

'You were forced? Welp somehow that's your fault have fun with the result.' Just no

'Oh keeping them alive will bankrupt you? Well who was irresponsible even though it was unforseeable?' Funding is being cut from helping people, people are having to use go fund me to afford medical care. There are people unable to get the care they need for their kids who AREN'T poor because life dealt them a bad hand.

There are cases of abortion that make me personally sad, but I also know it's none of my business. Not my life, not my body, not my business.

I really don't think that a fetus, a lump of cells, is a baby when some people seem to think it is.

The weird thing is people act like theyre saving money since they are giving money to let people have abortions. But it cost more since instead of paying for a one time procedure, theyre paying for 18 years...

And I have no problem with kids with mental or physical disabilities. But I also dont believe the ones given up for adoptions are taken care of to the best of anyones ability...

How do you even have the opinion that people who want the option to get an abortion are "demanding that society fix their problem?"

From the perspective of affecting society, an abortion is no different that a routine teeth cleaning or a visit to a general practitioner. It's a medical service that you pay for or that your healthcare provider covers, which you pay for by paying for health insurance. Why is that punishing other people? What a nonsense argument.

Also what the fuck is this attitude

Once again, and I know this is difficult for all the people who do not believe in crazy concepts like personal accountability: society is not there to fix your problems and poor life choices.


No, society is absolutely there to fix your problems. That's the basis for society: people specialize in things they are good at and then offer those services to others who have not specialized in them in exchange for some form of compensation. Humans (and any other social creatures) form societies because it's more efficient to rely on specialists than for everyone to become a generalist and be mediocre at everything.

Are people not allowed to make mistakes or change their minds? How much of an asshole do you need to be to think that people deserve to live with the consequences of every decision or mistake they make for the rest of their lives? What kind of insane absolutist draconian mindset is that?


Just to be clear there are people who think they should be forced to birth a child as punishment. There is no concern for the child just the idea that the girl made a mistake and she should have to live with it to publicly shame her.

You're talking about police interfering in suicide attempts?

No, I'm referring to the fact that you aren't allowed to not work if you don't want to, you're not allowed to just do nothing and have the means to survive. You're also not allowed to use your body to steal or murder.

I don't think that's unreasonable, but you're denied the "choice" to be a waste of space with your autonomy if you want.

That's your intrinsic physical needs forcing you to do something, though, not the law. It's quite legal to do nothing, if you're okay with wasting away (though that kind of self-destructive avolition would probably warrant an intervention on the basis of mental health).

Oh sure, there are plenty of things you aren't allowed to do with your body, generally based on the fundamental principle that you shouldn't hurt other people. There's a key philosophical difference, however, between being forbidden from doing something with your body and being forced to do something with your body (to the detriment of things you otherwise would be able to do). The latter is a violation of bodily autonomy, and is the central problem with anti-abortion laws.

Your intrinsic basic needs force you to eat, shit and sleep. It doesn't make you earn money. The government stops you eating and shitting yourself to death by not supplying free food.

You're being forbidden from medically intervening with your birth, they're stopping an action, not forcing one.

What if you look at it the other way? They are forcing you to carry a baby full term. In that cases, they are forcing an action...

Then you can look at murder the other way, they're forcing you to keep people you hate alive. They're making you give money to services that help people you hate live.

Also pregnancy was what their body was already doing. To forbid abortion is passive, aborting is active.

Well, they certainly take action by enforcing an abortion ban, by carrying out sentencing etc. I would guess a police officer would have to intervene if he happened upon an abortion too, to prevent the crime. But something being passive doesn't necessarily mean it's justified to enforce. Like you could forbid children from going to school, or cancer patients from seeking treatment. Preventing them from performing an action, letting nature take its course.

That applies to any law, your bodily autonomy is sacrificed when you're found guilty of a crime. You can't claim law enforcement is unconstitutional for defying your bodily autonomy.

It justifies against it suppressing your bodily autonomy. It doesn't make you get pregnant, it stops you defying the bodily autonomy of your child after exercising yours.

That's not an autonomy argument, you have the right to healthcare and education.

You can, and that's an argument for small government.

Making money, however, is the means by which those basic needs can be realized. Transitive property, yo.

Pregnancy (and subsequently, parenting) really isn't passive enough to look at it through that lens. It requires a substantial amount of additional effort and energy intake (to say nothing of personal risk), such that it's much more reasonable to look at it in terms of being forced to continue performing an action that was started at conception.

Alternatively, you can look at it in terms of forbidding them from seeking treatment for a medical problem, which similarly violates bodily autonomy. Either works.

I don't think you understand what "bodily autonomy" means. Those women had bodily autonomy when they procreated. They still have bodily autonomy right now. Not being offered healthcare to fix YOUR problems has nothing to do with bodily autonomy. The only people who believe it does, are typical leftists who believe they're owed everything.

Except they arent even allowed to use their own money to take care of their medical needs. Theyre denied the option all together, no matter whos paying for it...

Being forbidden from seeking health care, however, does. Your entire position seems to be based on the presumption that people want free abortions for everyone and an obsessive hatred of the idea that anyone get anything for free, which has nothing to do with anything anyone is saying here. I'm not sure where you're getting any of that from.
