Correct, they left it up to the states. That's not a good thing at all. There needs to be a new set of common-sense federal laws. The desire to have an abortion simply because you don't want to take responsibility should be illegal: About 600,000 abortions fall under this category. Extreme circumstances should be allowed: those cases account for about 50,000 a year from what I read.
Lol, Biden is going to be 80 in November and Polosi is 82. His argument is not only counterintuitive, it's invalid.
What I do think is ironic is that companies like Juul came out with an alternative to cigarettes that doesn't smell like shit, doesn't give cancer, and near as we can tell, isn't harmful. Millions of Americans quit smoking specifically by switching to this alternative, and have become healthier for it. So what did our oh-so-wise government do? Taxed vape juices, Juul-like products to the point where they were equally as expensive as cigarettes, for no reason whatsoever, when the people able to quit smoking by switching to vaping experienced not only no health detriment, but extreme health benefit, and the majority of those were lower/middle class (poor people) who were now able to spend the extra money on better food, healthcare, etc. for themselves and their children. Then they say that rather than using natural nicotine from tobacco, vape products have to use some lab-produced thing instead that nobody knows what's in it and it tastes like shit and may very well be carcinogenic because... Reasons? Then they ban Juul outright, because "Think about the children!" when there's no proof of any health detriment to children from vaping whatsoever, and the law already prevented the sale of vape products to children.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood is still allowed to advertise their abortion services on TV, receive taxpayer and insurance payout for their services, and their entire business model is based purely and solely around the murder of unborn children.
At what point, and why, do we start banning less harmful alternatives for smoking, for adults, citing "The Children" when we are still, as a society, actively encouraging people to murder their children before they're born?
People in this topic keep referring to "the right" using "terrorism" to "get their way" in regards to abortion. Yet in the nearly 50 years since the passage of Rowe, fewer than a dozen abortion clinics have been attacked, fewer than a dozen abortion doctors, each of whom have murdered hundreds of children, have been targeted by extreme crazies. Meanwhile, in the last 2 months alone, over 20 non-profit clinics that provide resources, funding, and free medical care to expectant mothers have been firebombed by the pro-abortionists. We take it for granted that there will be violent rioting centered around the inability to murder children in States whose people have long since determined they do not support the murder of children.
The fact of the matter is that terrorism from pro-abortionists is excused and expected, and every single one of them will turn right around and claim they have your best interests at heart and you should "think about the children" before outlawing such things, before allowing safer alternatives to smoking, before breastfeeding rather than using formula, before... Well, let's just say at this point, the "Think about the children" crowd is nothing but people who want to kill your children, and poison you and your family while they're at it.
