Abortion should be a choice

There are 8 billion people on this earth, a few abortions simply because a woman isn't ready or just doesn't want kids shouldn't be penalized or be an issue. Accidents happen all the time. there are a lot of kids out there with parents who hate them all because they didn't want kids but was forced to have them because of abortion laws.

you are not forced adoption exists. if its for financial reasons a condom is cheaper than an abortion.

 @BBW8LQX from Arkansas  commented…3mos3MO

As a person who was adopted by loving parents, I am very anti-abortion. I was given a chance at life and I have been able to do many amazing things. My bio-mom was on meth when I was born which made me dependent on the drug, so even though I had a very rough start to my life that shouldn't have been a reason that my bio-mom should have been able to have me aborted.

Engaged Abortion

I know it may seem strange that someone who has had a life-saving organ transplant as a baby and who was adopted (my birth parents were 17 & 19), that I am pro-choice. My parents could have aborted me and I wouldn't care cause I wouldn't have consciousness anyways. But it was their CHOICE. If I became pregnant, my medications could cause a miscarriage, deformities, the pregnancy itself could kill me, etc. My medications also make birth control not as effective due to lowering the hormones in the blood. So luckily, I was able to get my fallopian tubes removed so I wouldn't…  Read more

I agree and that access to abortion should be global. While not intending to generalize, it is worth noting that certain countries with high birth rates may not provide the most favorable conditions for raising many children. Birth control should be global too. You are clearly highlighting a common concern: many individuals have children they do not desire. This raises important questions regarding the ethical and moral implications of such situations.

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.
