I support some common sense restrictions on abortion…
This is not that, hell it couldn’t be anymore obvious that the GOP doesn’t care about life or the safety of the child, they just want as many rules on the books as possible to let them punish “Enemies of the party”
Actually I vote Democrat exclusively because I’m aware that the GOP are domestic terrorists acting on behalf of Russian Homophobes, nice try.
See while I think just letting ANYONE get an abortion is morally wrong and that the procedure should only be done in extreme cases, like rape, ectopic pregnancy, incest, major deformity, and the like, etc…
I also realize Republicans are the opposite extreme in that they want NO ABORTIONS AT ALL and aren’t big on the concept of gender equality.
So I vote Democrat despite the Abortion issue, as I realize neither party has a satisfactory answer to it, but the Democrat Answer causes less problems.
It’s called “Don’t let Perfect be the enemy of Good”
Do you think people (in particular, yourself) should be forced by state violence to donate their organs to someone who needs it to survive? Especially when the forced donation process involves significant risk to your own life and health (though i do not think that aspect particularly important for my own reasoning, personally ^.^).
Because advocating for “”“reasonable”“” restrictions on abortion is advocating for forcing someone to act as, essentially, a breeding pod, forced to donate their body and organs.
I think Organ Donation should be an Opt Out rather than an Opt In.
Also Organ Donation isn’t done till after the person is dead, so your argument makes no sense.
Anyway, that aside, if you are in a position to save another person or prevent their death, and either don’t or even just expedite what was already going to happen… You’re a killer in my eyes.
So you haven’t donated any, you’re trying to evade the question.

I’m not a hypocrite, I am merely not suicidal. If I were to donate my organs while I was still alive, I would be putting myself into unnecessary risk. Meaning I cannot blindly give them away, if I were to give them away at all, I would have to do so specifically because someone needed them and came to me for help with the understanding that if I refused they would die.
If you were paying attention, you would know that I do not advocate for a total ban on abortion, if bringing the human child to term is a non-negligible threat to the owner of the womb than an abortion isn’t just fine, it should be encouraged by a medical profession.
However if that is not the case, then an abortion would child murder.
Kinda like how if someone dying of kidney failure asked for my kidneys and I said no, I’m basically telling them to drop dead.
My logic isn’t inconsistent, you merely belong to a vocal minority of people who value self freedom over the lives of others. A vocal minority that was quite loud on reddit but seems to have migrated to Lemmy.
The kind of nut who would compare licenses to drive to licenses to use a toaster

Currently, 17 people die each day on the organ transplant list. I’m representing one of them, and coming directly and specifically to you. Will you donate a kidney?
I am not a lawyer, however I have no reason to believe that this is a sincere request. Instead I believe this is an attempt to propose a Preposterous question without evidence, in order to use my answer against me. And for that reason I refuse to answer it.
No, it shows that most people are reasonable and understand that a woman who decides for whatever reason that she isn’t ready for the commitment of parenthood, that is her business.
Wacko spin, eh? Thank you for so clearly identifying yourself as a reproductive authoritarian for all the women on Lemmy. If you think many women get an abortion “on a whim,” then you have bought into the right-wing propaganda.
BTW, saying that the decision to abort should be made between a woman and her doctor means that medical ethics becomes the guiding framework, as opposed to criminal law. The state has no business criminalizing reproductive health.
Canada has the best abortion law, which is to say it has no law on abortion. And yet, Canadian doctors are somehow not killing babies at 36 weeks “on a whim.” Hmmm, what could possibly explain that?
Gee-wiz, Cletus, maybe we don’t have to criminalize abortion in order to get “common sense” behavior.
It all depends what the judge is willing to do about violations. If they really threaten the administration of justice, fines are probably the first step, but imprisonment is on the table though it seems unlikely to go that far. A new judge may treat these differently, or take previous gag order violations into account.
There’s no way Egypt or any Arab nations will take them in. The Arab states have been using Palestian suffering to their diplomatic and PR advantage since the conflict started.
When Jordan and Egypt condem things, it’s laughable as neither has ever done anything substantive to resolve the situation.
Hamas, Netanyahu, and the Arab states all have made sure the problem stays a problem bc they all benefit from it.
I’m sure there are multiple reasons, but I think the biggest cause is how much international travel people are doing now. It’s kind of nuts how many more people travel for fun these days than even 10 years ago. Any place that is even slightly known in the tourism circles has about a billion people showing up every day, so the bed bugs are just being shipped around more efficiently these days.
Yes, I’m one of those people who are traveling internationally much more often than I did 10 years ago, so I’m not disparaging them or judging them. It’s just a fact of the world we live in now that more people have the money to go to more places now.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. This is democracy in action. Her community and loved ones want their society to be that way. If that’s what they want, well, it sure doesn’t affect me.
You have to be brain dead to think there’s democracy in the US. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, two senators per state, the electoral college… Wake up.
I used to live in Alabama. This is a version of what they want. But I also agree with the chump who said “it doesn’t affect me”. Because that’s what allowed all the atrocities of history to happen. Sometimes you have to stop evil people from being evil.
I hear you. But looking around, the ratio of fools to wise people in government looks proportional to the population at large. Have you considered that direct democracy would just be the 4chan version of government?
And I’m only half kidding. Egalitarian political movements, even before Marx, have found “the people” to be much less noble and wise than anticipated. I believe this is a partial explanation for the revolution to authoritarian pipeline problem. Be it Bolivar, Lenin, or Castro, what do you do if the people vote for the old system, even when it’s contrary to their interests? Well, the historical answer seems to be: force them bitches to be free.
Alabamans want their society to be this fucked up. I’m happy they are allowed to do this to themselves. “never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake” and what not.

Keep saying it everywhere, sooner or later someone with a less closed mind than yours and with a bad day will hear it and will have no choice but to beat the shit out of you.
