Fetal “heartbeat” is so anti-scientific it is pathetic. Why do the supposed moralists have to lie so much to sneak in barbaric legislation? Seems like the Right does prioritize feelings over facts.
If you’re worried about life then set the bar at the minimum age of viability, which is beyond 20 weeks. That’s not soon enough to trap women into supporting a pregnancy regardless of circumstances though, I guess.
Both of you need to go into a dark room, close the door behind you, and really think about what you just said. If you still feel the same way, I’m truly sorry and hope that Christ softens your hears. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Tom, I am confused. Why hasn’t Christ softened your heart yet? Why do you continue to avert your gaze and turn your back on the thousands of children who die from starvation every year? How many lives could you have saved last year. How many children did you allow to die because you did not act. Why did you not act?
No matter your view on abortion, there is no question that abortion laws only apply to poor people. Women of means, on both sides of the political aisle will always have the option of choice.

The law overreached…had they pared the time limitation down from 20 weeks to something between 12-16 weeks, they probably would have passed constitutional muster. I’m pro-life, but I’m also pragmatic about political and legal reality. Its kinda like Prohibition: yes, there was a national epidemic of alcoholism at the time and all the broken family tragedy that it leaves in its wake, but completely banning alcohol just turned it into a huge black market that enriched the criminal syndicates of the time. Unless the state constitution is amended (as done in TN), I just don’t see how you get below 12 weeks. So go for the triple instead of the home run, and call it a win – you will still save many, many unborn lives.

Agreed- fetuses don’t have heartbeats, humans do.

Thanks for confirming that the prime motivation behind anti-abortion legislation is to impose an extreme version of Christianity upon the masses.

Until Human Rights are for all humans, including unborn humans, you know human fetuses, we live in fascism.
Your religious views are completely irrelevant to the law. It’s interesting that you didn’t bother to include any analysis of the ruling.
