When you get an abortion, generally the fetus is not old enough to feel any pain. Imagine going through something as traumatic as rape and having to go through hours of labor and contractions 9 months later with your rapists baby.

 @BCPK4NM from Minnesota  commented…2mos2MO

Although this may be true the child is still a human and has the right to live.

 @BCNVL56 from California  disagreed…2mos2MO

Human rights include ones right to control their own body. Not everyone believes that life begins at conception, and early on in pregnancy the fetus doesn't have the capacity to feel pain. Abortion isn't the same as murder because its a medical decision.

 @BCNSJ4C from Texas  disagreed…2mos2MO

The baby at this point is maybe only the size of a pea or smaller and is barely developed enough to do anything, let alone survive outside the womb. The embryo does not have any actions of its own yet

 @BCNKS49 from Minnesota  disagreed…2mos2MO

I believe that if someone gets pregnant unintentionally, there is no need for them to have their child. No one should have to have their child if ghey cannot give them the life everyone deserves.

 @BCNTK3G  from Oregon  disagreed…2mos2MO

I don't really think there is one they haven't had a life to live yet so your not really taking away anything

 @BCNHZ5QRepublican from Ohio  agreed…2mos2MO

I agree with this statement. If life didn't start at conception they why would someone who murdered a pregnant woman be charged with double homicide? There are also better options then abortion.

 @BCLC4GY from North Carolina  commented…3mos3MO

Very wrong. People are still people even before they are born. You are taking away the chance for that person to live a good life just because of your political views and ideals.

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.
