Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Bruh wtf? I'm not even religious. I'm just saying that some people hold different opinions and it doesn't have to come DIRECTLY from their god. Morals are fluid and so something unacceptably evil to some may be correct to others. Doesn't make one side right or wrong. It's not based on some fundamental law.
Alright I can accept that.
Personally I consider the fetus a baby once it's viable. Thankfully, Technology has lowered the internal incubation time frame, in other words, preemies have a much higher survival rate now.
The ensuing sketch situations then, is that if a fetus can be external incubated from week 16 (just throwing a number out there, I have no idea what the current medical limit is) then do we mandate a birth, (I assume thru caesarian, I don't know if pitocin can induce whenever, but beyond that, I think pitocin needs to be way more restricted than it currently is. I'm no OBGYN, my opinion means nothing) forcing the women to carry to term, or does society pick up the tab for the next 5 months, cuz no ones jumping up to fund that. And then where does the infant go? Adoption is thrown out like it's a cure all and for some, sure, but I could read daily a novel case of child abuse in just foster care alone. There is no cure all.
The keao that all fetuses deserve personhood is insane. That makes miscarriages murder or manslaughter at best, and women can do everything right and still lose the child. Allowing the state fetal person hood will not only relegate women to 2nd class citizens without their own bodily autonomy but then we'll see state overreach, where miscarriages are treated as crimes and women are jailed for them.
We know that for a fact, because it's already happening down in Alabama.
So a person goes from advocating that all life is sacred at conception to jailing, terrorizing and traumatizing our girls. Our girls, many if whom are in a fragile state from having just had a miscarriage and distraught, and in their time of need and vulnerability, we lock them up and vring them up in charges?
Yo, bro. That cure is worse than the disease, ya get me? That's a traumatized, just for fucking funsies, woman who probably will never want to have children now. That's guaranteeing our falling birth rate drops off the cliff.
When women are too scared to have babies, un, I don't know if you know this, but THATS IT. Humanity no more. Civilization crumbles without enough young people to support the needs of the old. we are already staring down that loaded barrel, so instead of working to lower that gun, why are y'all raising more?
So we're clear, every women you know could have 2 kids and somehow afford them, but thats maybe 1000 women and when off in the big city there's 4 million women refusing any and all vaginal sex (the poophole's the loophole, guess what? your society still ends and those 2000 babies you know, they're all gonna starve with everyone else, cuz none of us subsistence farm anymore.
