I believe that abortion should be banned

It is taking away an innocent person's life plus taking away god's creation. But I also do believe that abortion should only be legal in the case of Rape, Incest, medically cannot carry a child, the mother and baby are in a dangerous situation, or the mother is in a abusive relationship. Other then that, it's your own fault for getting pregnant. Do NOT take away an innocent baby's life because you can't live with your own stupid decisions.

Abortion should not be banned, the "baby" is not considered a baby as it is not fully developed and cannot feel anything at the time of abortion,.as for if a woman cannot get an abortion will be non debatable because it is her choice not the man who got her pregnant, he may have side thoughts but may not fully make the decision as he is not carrying the baby and suffering through the pain of giving birth and holding the baby for about 9 months, as abortion should not be talked about if the person talking about it does not have a uterus, and every reason for abortion is valid, such…  Read more

I think there is a wider range of possibility when dealing with pregnancy. No matter the reason, it is the mother’s decision what to do with her body at the end of the day. A child is a commitment for 18 years and the rest of your life. Not everyone can make that sacrifice for a variety of reasons, meaning the smart thing to do is to get an abortion so a child isn’t raised in a home not equipped for a child. It is not the governments place to tell someone what to do with their body, nor is it other people’s place because abortion does not affect another person in the slightest. Banning abortion also opens the door for more government control in all kinds of situations, a bad precedent to set in my opinion.

I believe that abortion is not taking away an innocent person's life because said "person" isn't living, it is still a fetus, and it should be the mother's choice if they carry it to term. Also, there should be a separation of church and state, so the argument that it's "taking away god's creation" doesn't apply to everyone. Along with that, what if the mother isn't financially stable enough to support another life? Also, who gets to choose if a pregnant person is in an abusive relationship or a dangerous situation, and many times the per…  Read more

Abortion being banned by the federal government because the life is "god's creation" is not right because religious values should not be part of the federal government. Furthermore, abortion is conducted before it is an "innocent baby", it is proper health care and women deserve the right.

 @B9PWXZ7  from Vermont  disagreed…5mos5MO

This country was founded on religious freedom so any law or ban made on the basis of a religious belief is unconstitutional

 @B9PTBWKDemocrat from Florida  disagreed…5mos5MO

I believe regardless of the situation abortion should be legal. We shouldn’t be telling women what to do with their bodies. Some women do not want to be mothers and bringing a baby into that would be unfair .

 @B9QX6GLIndependent from Texas  disagreed…5mos5MO

Religion doesn't have a place in political debates in a nation with separation between church and state.

 @B9PTKNZfrom Washington  disagreed…5mos5MO

Both the inability to create as well as the lack of previous conscious experiences means it is not—and never was—a human being.
Sperm has the potential to create human beings, yet we grant them no rights.
It's also clear this is what every human being _actually_ considers important to the determination of life (whether they're able to logically deduce it or not), as it's the opposite of the criteria we use to determine if someone is dead (can no longer create conscious experiences, and previously had conscious experiences).
It's shockingly simple once you look at it through the lens of rationality.

 @B9PXNX2Independent from Texas  disagreed…5mos5MO

Abortion is healthcare. The process to decide when it should not be legal as an invasion of privacy.

 @B9Q5WFV from Wisconsin  disagreed…5mos5MO

On occasion, it is the fault of the product, not the user. In these cases, pregnancy can occur even with some of the highest preventative measures. Therefore, forcing women to go through the process of pregnancy when preventive measures were implemented is unethical. At the same time, more awareness on the subject should be promoted rather than illegalizing all abortion.

 @B9QDPW9Republican  from Ohio  agreed…5mos5MO

I believe abortion should be banned, no matter the case of conception. The Lord deemed that it would occur, and while rape and incest is disgusting and horrifying, the Lord allowed it to occur. That does not make Him a terrible God. He makes beautiful things out of terrible circumstances. Would you ever know who was born out of rape or who wasn't? Why are the babies conceived out of rape or incest deserving of death? If a baby is conceived out of stupidity, it is not okay to abort it. You made your bed, now lay in it. Regardless of being "ready for parenthood," if you created that child, the child has a right to life.

 @B9Q9KZ7Republican from Montana  agreed…5mos5MO

I believe that abortion should be band in all cases Evan if your reaped you could still give the baby up for adoption once its born

 @B9PVT4QIndependent from Utah  agreed…5mos5MO

That is nearly my view of Abortion word for word. Do not take away the baby's life because your stupid face decided to go out and have a one night stand. Just remain a virgin and wait until marriage, do not sleep around if you cannot afford to have a kid. Sex is not a right. Rape is different because the woman did not choose to sleep around she was forced upon so I understand in that case. However that is the minority of the cases, the vast majority are women who sleep around thinking they can avoid getting pregnant and then when they find out they do they panic and go and get an abortion. And it is essentially a get out jail free card, which is not right. The woman who made the decision to sleep around does not get punished, and yet the baby who did nothing wrong gets punished. So yes I completely agree with the statement above.

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.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
