Any taking of human life without due process is unconstitutional

The right to life is protected buy procedural due process. The unborn have committed no crimes nor are they aware of the offense they are committing that warrants death. In the same way we do not execute the innocent, or even the guilty when the lack understanding of why they are being executed (minors, clinically insane and intellectually disabled), we should not execute the unborn. When considering substantive due process, life always trumps, freedom, without life, you cannot be free. We must prioritize defending the life of the innocent while also supporting the mothers who's freedom is limited by the introduction of that life. Funding for abortion procedures should be fully transferred to funding prenatal care for expectant mothers and adoption proceedings in cases where the biological mother and father do not wish to raise the child. The government must also increase punishments for rape and incest.

Banning abortion would only make dangerous and illegal procedures more and more frequent, leading to increased infant and mother fatality. Social programs and education awareness programs are necessary to make sure individuals are informed and encouraged to make the right decisions. Bodily autonomy is a human right, and medical abortions are healthcare. If we aren't restricting access to other life-saving procedures, there is no sense to do so for abortion. If one is inclined against the matter, they may protest, lobby, spread awareness, etc. But this is no matter for nationwide bans that often result in the criminalization of mothers and jail time that extends much longer than individuals convicted of sexual/abuse offenses.

 @BBX6N4SNo Labels from Georgia  disagreed…3mos3MO

The unborn are not alive, hence do not have human rights. And even if they did have some rights, the rights of the living mother must outweigh the rights of the unborn.

 @BBX7JNF from Ohio  disagreed…3mos3MO

There are people who make mistakes that their not ready for, For instance young teenagers get pregnant and will not be able to take care of no baby while still going to school or them having to face discrimination because their pregnant. There are also people who get sexual assaulted and i don't think they would wanna keep the baby.

 @BBWKSP7 from California  disagreed…3mos3MO

It is not alive or conscious to make those decisions. Taking a human life is unconstitutional, so what about the mother? The woman who is alive and carrying the child? Is it not unconstitutional to completely disregard her life and rights?

 @BBWJNFQ from New York  disagreed…3mos3MO

Many people do not realize that we care more about abortion then the 90% of people who cause it, teens who are raped and get pregnant are not allowed to get an abortion even if it hurts them to have the baby

 @BBWKTKK from New York  disagreed…3mos3MO

Most abortions procedures occur before the second or third trimester of a pregnancy so the "baby" is really just a embryo and there is no consciousness so there isn't so much of an execution happen its really just deleting a clump of cells. And most adoptions center don't even treat the children good and are sometimes overcrowded so the care isn't enough for the kid.

 @BBWRLMCProgressive from Connecticut  disagreed…3mos3MO

The unborn cannot think, and does not produce any thought. It doesn't have any capacity to be a human and think like one. Abortion is also important for the mother, Encase a pregnancy is life endangering to the mother. Abortion should not be allowed when it has its first heartbeat, but anything before should be allowed. Though, it should be left to the states rather than the federal government to fund abortion, and punishments for rape and incest should be increased.

 @BBWWXBL from Nebraska  disagreed…3mos3MO

I would say that the government has no right to take away women´s rights. There should be requirements, and after a certain amount of months it should be not allowed. Women deserve their rights

 @BBWJ7ZY from Oklahoma  disagreed…3mos3MO

should not control ones right to their own body. we are not incubators for someone else. if someone wants a kid they will have it and if someone doesn't there is no point in forcing them to carry one to term and putting them in either foster care or raising them unwanted and unloved. my body my choice.

 @BBWHHDK from Michigan  disagreed…3mos3MO

it inherently isnt, the constitution doesnt create rules for you or i, its designed to create rules for the federal and state level governments

 @BC39Q3X from California  disagreed…3mos3MO

a human is not a human until the organism can survive freely outside the walls of the hosts system. Therefore, the fetus is no more than a collection of cells that cannot operate without the “mother”.

 @BBX8SBS  from Georgia  agreed…3mos3MO

All life is important whether you want the child or not, he or she is a blessing and has a purpose and shouldn't have their opportunities taken from someone else.

 @BBWWS6Z from Washington  agreed…3mos3MO

i agree with this. the unborn has done nothing wrong, and part of human rights is the right to LIFE.

 @BBWJBH8No Labels from Michigan  agreed…3mos3MO

I understand the argument about protecting life and supporting mothers. However, abortion is a complicated issue because it also involves the health, rights, and choices of the pregnant person, which is why people still debate it today.

 @BBWV87T from Wisconsin  disagreed…3mos3MO

The argument for an unborn fetus is that they have the right to due process but most abortions happen before the fetus even developed a heart beat making it a clump of cells their fore there is no life at risk and when saying young mothers or fathers or just parents don't want kids you have to take into count their stability and suitability whilst you think they should have a baby and raise it they may not have anywhere to raise it these ideals of women shouldn't get abortions because the fetus is innocent is moral wrong this could end up babies and children growing up in poor and inexcusable situations that the government later wont care about as well as an overflowing foster care system. So in my point of view women should be able to have an abortion based on their stability and suitability of becoming a mother.

 @BBVZYVD  from New York  disagreed…3mos3MO

It is scientifically proven that a fetus under about 24 weeks does not have the capacity to feel pain or to be sentient therefore they are not alive.

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.
