Really don't know Alan, and I never asked. I think I have .ade my views on the subject pretty clear.
It’s such an emotive subject and it probably is a rollercoaster of emotions for every woman who has to undertake the procedure.

Even if it was a woman being totally naïve, should she be refused an abortion because it’s her 4th time?

We both know there has to be a line drawn somewhere on most things, legally, but it just seems folly to me to say it can’t be done because the woman has reached her personal limit.
 
That's just you trying to hold a moral high ground. In a sense you are using the very same tactics the religious types use. There are no moral high grounds. As all sides believe they Stand on the very same moral high ground.

One espousing the right of a woman to abort a growing Pregnancy. The other on the right of life to continue, even if true that it begun and still is in a dependent state


The legal process on the other hand IS a legitimate point of contention. Unfortunately, it's one in which those who agree with you stand on shakier grounds.

Tyranny in the name of good
But it isn’t. You’re taking away a right that a woman should have.

I’m not the one trying to restrict a woman’s right.

All you are doing is sending abortions underground and putting women’s lives at risk unnecessarily.

Oh and missing out on the cagillion dollars you could charge for the procedure.

I’ll repeat that no other civilised country would or could entertain this law change.

Yet, you’re happy to go along with it.
 
They wanna protect the child in the uterus but not in the schools ..... ban guns as children have a right to go to school and not have to think is our school next.
This would be true if there were groups of people protesting for the right to be able to kill children in school.

It's illegal to kill children in school. You know that, right?
 
I have. I'm sure you understand how concurring opinions work.
Oh. So then you know you’re quite wrong about what “no one is saying”.

Once again, not even a peep about stare decisis. Not even troubled, are you?

Better that Thomas get his “43 years of revenge on the liberals”, as he (allegedly) said in 1993.
 
It’s not an outside Roe v Wade issue. But if you only use USA you get a false picture.

It is like using only strict v Lax gun states to discuss correlation between guns and violence, when using countries with no guns makes the point more clearly.

Republicans cut funding for contraceptive treatment in a country with expensive private medicine and abortions go up.

Abortion should be on demand rather than having to jump through unnecessary hoops (e. g. Listening to heartbeat) to satisfy the religious right.

Let me extrapolate the argument you make; if a woman can't be arsed forming a relationship with a man, it's okay to fuck and abort.

Playing Devil's Advocate, I'd suggest the law should inspire less wanton action without care.

Have you heard the saying 'a woman controls sex'? It's entirely up to her who she lets in. Potentially another form of contraceptive if she chose.
 
But it isn’t. You’re taking away a right that a woman should have.

I’m not the one trying to restrict a woman’s right.
Ok. Neither of us is doing anything. But I get your point. You think I agree with those who think abortions should be illegal.

All you are doing is sending abortions underground and putting women’s lives at risk unnecessarily.
Do you think 1st world nations should launch a military attack on third world nations who restrict women's right to abortions? If not. Why not?

Oh and missing out on the cagillion dollars you could charge for the procedure.
Yeah, another reason those who are anti-abortion believe they own the moral high-ground. As a lot of this is simply about money for some.

@FogBlueInSanFran will have you know that it is NOT a law change. I'm inclined to agree with him. He is the smartest. :)

No, you’re focussing on the legalities, rather than the infringement on womens’ rights.
 
Sorry to disagree with you, but I have known a few friends who have had repeated abortions. Have also nursed people who were admitted to have their 3rd or 4th abortion. Trust me it happens.

Apparently, you're not allowed to disagree with his point as a woman, because it's his point.

Because you buck the trend, you're not allowed to have this point of view that dents his point...
 
I see this is a potential minefield, so with that in mind for the men in the US (or anywhere since this is a broad question), what rights do they have?

A man wants the child, it's not his choice and a woman can abort.

A man doesn't want the child, she gets to keep it and he pays.

Or the woman, who controls sex, can make him wear his protection whilst she makes sure she's using contraception or don't have sex.

Would this not be logical?

Just posing the question.
 
Oh. So then you know you’re quite wrong about what “no one is saying”.
No I am not. I'd explain the use of 'no one is saying' but I'm absolutely certain you already understand how it was used. The Smart guy that you are and all.

Really? I thought I already acknowledged that yesterday when i agreed it was the one point at issue against overturning.

Was gonna follow up by asking you a question on how you feel Stare Decisis should be treated and under what circumstances you think overturning precedent is legitimate.

But you hate when I ask questions, so I didn't bother.

You are right. I am focusing on the process. I think it matters. But also, I think there is a legitimate claim to be made regarding restrictions on the absolute right to extinguish a potential life. Even Roe acknowledge this.

You go man. It gives more of your mentally ill to shoot at in schools.

I find it unbelievable that you‘d just go, “yeah, that’s legal process”.

What if the next law is minorities in New York will all be deported?

Will you still be “yeah, it’s the legal process”.

Same rights as everyone else. The right to take care of your responsibility.

A man wants the child, it's not his choice and a woman can abort.
In First World Countries where abortion is a right, the man has the right to not sleep with a woman who might abort his child.


A man doesn't want the child, she gets to keep it and he pays.
Again, he can choose not to sleep with the woman, wear a condom or get a visectomy or whatever that procedure is called. Take responsibility if you don't want a child.


Or the woman, who controls sex, can make him wear his protection whilst she makes sure she's using contraception or don't have sex.
Both partners control sex. He can wear his protection without prompting like a big boy or don't have sex if he doesn't want a child.a

Depends on your view.

I know how it was used. Without thought. As with most absolutes. In fact, a very important point is that one of the nine people in the nation who actually could be responsible for immediately altering the availability of contraception has suggested that such could be a logical outcome of his thought process. So in fact, “no one” is completely fucking wrong.

You agreed stare decisis was A point. Wow, how in-depth. A whole sentence. What an analysis. So glad we had that fascinating chat. What an intellect. Amazing. Applause all around. Way to move the discussion forward.

Of course, you haven’t agreed nor suggested that it’s the most important point. Maybe you don’t think it is, but if you did, then you’d be in a pickle because then you’d have to agree with me. As you’d prefer to try to “own” nearly everyone on the board and as this is, in my opinion, your most important if not only reason for being here, the two options you offer are either (1) nothing, or (2) disagreement. So, yeah — not a peep.

Finally, I don’t hate it when you ask questions. I just don’t answer your questions because I don’t like you very much.

Depends on your view.
All your points that refer to contraception are now at risk because of the decision in Dobbs per Thomas and his comments re: Griswold and due process. And the wrecking ball taken to stare decisis is going to make it very hard for the majority who ruled in Dobbs to somehow get out of overturning Griswold IMO.
