    How about a medical reason? How about a drug addict who may have a sick child which may die after birth? How about a homeless person who can't support the child? How about a woman who is too young to properly care for and provide for the child?

    There are so many reasons people choose to abort. I will happily pay taxes for that. Just as I pay taxes for students to get an education. Many will piss away their opportunity in school, but I still pay all the same, and I do so with pleasure.

    Everything else you said was spot-on.

    I am against the death penalty, yes.

    yeah I cant see how this stands unless they overturn Roe v Wade. It makes abortions completely unfeasible unless you're one of the rare women that can notice it between 4 and 6 weeks and thus may as well be an outright ban

    It's cheaper to pay for abortions than to pay for welfare.

    To be fair, the line was "gay rights won't get repealed under Trump...because he held up a flag!" But it wouldn't surprise me if they were on the chopping block as well once he's actually in office.

    Funny how the Clinton News Network spun it to be Trump's fault. When he had nothing to do with it.

    Wrong Crissi, clearly it is up to Republicans to tell you when you can speak and when you should remain silent.

    Welcome to Trump's America. Enjoy.

    Rad, just wanted to check : )

    Either way, literally zero of your tax dollars are used for abortions, so you have nothing to worry about on that front regardless of this law.

    A woman at a computer? WITCHCRAFT.

    But yes, that's the point. They want it to get taken to court in hopes it will be used to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    6 weeks in is unreasonably too soon. 6 weeks before birth is unreasonably too late. I thought we had a happy medium of abortion rights. I'm completely baffled why this is still an issue for a politician. Bible thumping dickweeds,no doubt.
    People working 2 jobs in the US (at least one part-time) - 7.8 Million (Roughly 4.9% of the workforce)

    People working 2 full-time jobs in the US - 360,000 (0.2% of the workforce)

    Average time worked weekly by the US Workforce - 34.5 hours

    If you were to notice at 4 weeks, can you even then do it? Isn't there waiting for doctor period, plus maybe a councel about it? I don't know if there you can walk in one day without notice, get abortion and walk out. Because atleast here it's more than just walking in unannounced.

    Never asked my sister how it went in detail, because it's a delicate matter, but I know it wasn't instant.

    In that because I own the vagina and uterus, I get to decide what benefits my body and my life. Now, I myself am unlikely to ever get an abortion beyond rape / severe deformaties, but I still reserve the right to make that choice.
