I understand the fact that rape and incest are a small percentage of the abortion rates, but the government should not be involved in making individual decisions for women and their bodies, especially when those politicians are not doctors, and majority are not women. Lets say that if a person, no matter how, gets cake batter in their oven, it should be their choice whether or not they want to continue to bake the cake or remove the cake batter from their oven. Carrying a fetus to term in any scenario is a permanent change in the chemistry of the human body, and it can result in detrimental changes of mental, emotional, social, and physical health, regardless of whether the child is put up for adoption or being raised with the biological mother. While I agree that the fetus is deserving of life, and entitled to constitutional rights, it should not be valued more than the mother carrying the fetus. The fetus is potential life, while the mother is a tangible, actual life.

I agree, I believe that women should have the choice to make whether or not they wish to carry a fetus to term it is their body no one else.

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.”
