Too bad. I was hoping abortion would be illegal nationwide.

Why? Not enough women's lives are being put at risk as it is?Too bad. I was hoping abortion would be illegal nationwide.
To protect the most innocent. I believe it should only be used to save the life of the mother and nothing else.Why? Not enough women's lives are being put at risk as it is?
Unfortunately such laws do not work, endanger women's lives and have caused many deaths.To protect the most innocent. I believe it should only be used to save the life of the mother and nothing else.
Arizona was going to be a tight race in November....now with the States Supreme Court upholding a Civil War era law, I expect Republicans will lose across many races as many will be voting for the ballot measure to protect a woman's right to chose. The law is on hold pending review by a lower court (details pending).
"The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a 160-year-old abortion ban that could shutter abortion clinics in the state, saying the law that existed before Arizona became a state could be enforced going forward.
The ruling indicated the ban can only be prospectively enforced and the court stayed enforcement for 14 days. But it's already causing political earthquakes.
The pre-statehood law mandates two to five years in prison for anyone aiding an abortion, except if the procedure is necessary to save the life of the mother. A law from the same era requiring at least a year in prison for a woman seeking an abortion was repealed in 2021."
Abortion in Arizona set to be illegal in nearly all circumstances, state high court rules
The 1864 law mandates prison time for abortion providers and only allows for abortion if the mother's life is at risk.www.azcentral.com
others would prefer it be red with the blood of the unbornAZ might be all blue in November.
Which is why we must do both to protect mother and child. Both lives are valuable. They don't deserved to be destroyed.Unfortunately such laws do not work, endanger women's lives and have caused many deaths.
I hope Florida bans abortion completely! Glory to God!View attachment 346959
Also good news in Florida today.
Florida ban on abortions after 6 weeks takes effect
More than 9,000 people traveled to Florida for abortions last year. The new law means the state is no longer a refuge for abortion access in the South.www.nbcnews.com
There isn't some magical procedure out there that can save both, if there was people would use it. Sometimes it's one or the other, or the baby is unable to survive.Which is why we must do both to protect mother and child. Both lives are valuable. They don't deserved to be destroyed.
Why should people compromise on a life saving procedure to satisfy the sensibilities of religious ideologues?How do you know they don’t work? Have democrats ever tried to come to a compromise? As far as I’m concerned they want abortion legal at all stages.
You should be working with lawmakers to fix these laws.Why should people compromise on a life saving procedure to satisfy the sensibilities of religious ideologues?
I'm not American, I'm just providing related commentary.You should be working with lawmakers to fix these laws.
Also, just because something is religious doesn’t mean it’s false. In the case of Christianity, it comes from God himself.
You need to check your privilege.Democrats supported Roe, which was not "legal at all stages".
my only prayer is for both the mother and baby to survive, I cannot and will not support abortion in any way, shape, or formThere isn't some magical procedure out there that can save both, if there was people would use it. Sometimes it's one or the other, or the baby is unable to survive.

In Ireland, where I lived most of my life, abortion was strictly illegal until ten years ago. Although in theory saving the mother's life was an exception, the laws were unclear so doctors simply wouldn't do it because a mistake would land them in prison. You see, medicine is not an exact science and many times doctors have to weigh treatment on a percentage scale... "This is 92 percent likely to happen so treatment should be...". Women in Ireland were dying because of it's illegal nature:

This was the most recent and well known case. People were so outraged the population held a referendum to overturn the law, and it won overwhelmingly. A few years ago my husband was killed in an accident and upon being informed by the police the shock caused me to have a miscarriage. Had it been ten year earlier I'd most certainly be dead because the doctors would have been unable to treat me.

Absolutely! No one deserves to die in the name of “choice.”You should be working with lawmakers to fix these laws.

Sorry! I believe ALL life matters. How is that controversial?My apologies, I took you seriously. I won't make that mistake again.
Even Ben Shapiro, as an Orthodox Jew, was very much opposed to abortion.My apologies, I took you seriously. I won't make that mistake again.
