It is almost impossible to stop rape entirely and either way, abortion is healthcare

Whether the woman is raped or not, she should have complete access to an abortion. A woman living an "Indecent lifestyle" is completely subjective, and even if she was, that would be her choice. If it does not hurt another living person, it should not matter to you. Abortion should be illegal after a certain amount of weeks, once the fetus has developed beyond a clump of cells. Prior to that deadline, it should be absolutely unacceptable for someone to deny a woman of this right.

Informed Abortion #3 Expert Social Issues

Although it would be impossible to completely stop sexual violence, it can be significantly reduced through proper sexual education in public schools and community-led informative programs. Defending indecency in our country through the argument that people have personal freedom rejects what would truly be best for society and blindly follows ideology. What the "clump of cells" logic fails to address is that every organism is a clump of cells, and fetuses are clumps of cells with cohesive systems, just like any other organism.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
