If God created life and it shall not be destroyed, why is it that guns are okay or even the death penalty in extreme cases? All life is deemed equally valued, so why is it that when a mother isn’t ready or didn’t have a choice has to pay the consequences of childbirth?

 @BBMSK26 from North Carolina  disagreed…4mos4MO

The choice of a woman deciding to have an abortion does not make her wrong in the eyes of God. That mother will not view her child lovingly but with eyes of regret and shame, for her dreams and the path God set for her are put at a halt. She should not be wrongfully blamed for not wanting a child at the moment; she is merely waiting until she is happy and comfortable enough to have a baby.

 @BBMJ7CM from Virginia  disagreed…4mos4MO

I think it should be up to the woman. Not everyone believes in god and although people make mistakes, they shouldn't have to live with the pressure of caring for another human that they didn't want in the first place.

 @BBMGY3LIndependent  from Texas  disagreed…4mos4MO

Separation of Church and State, some may believe children are gods gift but that has nothing to do with those who do not believe in your God.

 @BBMP57SLibertarian from Florida  disagreed…4mos4MO

I know you may think God is a real thing, but some people don't, and not all people get pregnant from mistakes, some people didn't have a choice, so abortion isn't just because some people want to, Abortion can also be for people who don't want to have to live and or raise a kid who they didn't want, or got forced to have.

 @BBQT3KL  from Texas  disagreed…4mos4MO

I believe bodily atonomy takes precedent above all. Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy and consent to pregnancy can be withdrawn at any time. Pregnancy is not a zero risk endeavor. Forcing a pregnant person to remain pregnant is forcing risk onto that person. Additionally, forcing that risk into a person does not reduce harm or risk to the larger public. Lastly, allowing legal abortions does not force people to have them. If you, as an individual, do not believe an abortion is moral, then don't have one. In large part, abortions are not used as a form of birth control but are used as healthcare and should be available as such.

 @BBMHVFQ from Pennsylvania  disagreed…4mos4MO

Babies that are unborn yet are not aware of their existence and it is not hurting someone. It can also benefit rape victims.

 @BBMVQMS from Nebraska  disagreed…4mos4MO

abortion shouldnt be something that is forced and that is a choice, its a persons body and the body matters more then somethings just starting to grow

 @BBV3NJRDemocrat from South Carolina  disagreed…3mos3MO

Women should have the choice and the right to do whatever they want, especially if they got pregnant in an unfortunate circumstance

 @BBTWDPQDemocrat from North Carolina  disagreed…3mos3MO

It's not always about whether you want a baby or not its about if you can take care of it or healthily carry the baby to term.

 @BBMHYNF from North Carolina  disagreed…4mos4MO

My body my choice. Unless better programs are put in place to support unwanted pregnancies as well as provide support to the unwanted children.

 @BBP2ZYY from Maryland  disagreed…4mos4MO

A fetus is not alive until a certain point; up until then it is just cells. We should value mother's lives over cells that aren't alive or aware.

 @BBMNCPX from Ohio  disagreed…4mos4MO

Sometimes when God creates life, it wasn't always a mistake because women can't help it when they have been raped.

 @BBMZ987 from California  disagreed…4mos4MO

There are already so many mistakes that people make in life and not every mistake you make should have too backfire on you, people make mistakes and getting pregnant is a big one and having a kid at a young age or when ur not ready is very hard for people to follow through with given that having a kid comes with money, dedication, and very hard work and some people just aren't built for that. Most babys that arent even born yet don't even know that they died most likely.

 @BBMJ2ZW from Virginia  disagreed…4mos4MO

God may have created life; however, most abortions are performed before the baby has really any development. There is no brain, consciousness, and developed body so it's not the same as taking life away.

 @BBMN4BNIndependent from Nebraska  disagreed…4mos4MO

If it was not consentual it should be up to the mother or grandmother of the child to decide on abortion or not.

 @BBP823H from Arkansas  commented…4mos4MO

Life shouldn't be destroyed before it has a chance to live.

 @BBMSDDM from Texas  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree with this comment about Abortion. Life starts at conception. If you can lie down to make it, you can stand up to raise it.

 @BBMRKVDIndependent from Texas  agreed…4mos4MO

I absolutely agree. Life is created at conception, weather it is a fetus or a 50-year-old human being, terminating each of them is murder in the eyes of God. Abortion is not health care or an escape from pregnancy. It is murder.

 @BBMD2N4 from Idaho  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree with this comment about Abortion. Some women, especially those that do not follow God or have good morals, are sleeping around, and should have to deal with the consequences of their actions. They should have been expecting that getting pregnant was a possibility.

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.
