What’s next?

More educated and competent professionals will continue to leave the State, while it slides deeper into third-world status.

Combined with anti-immigration policies and it’ll be even worse. At some point, the Federal government and economically successful States will have to put their foot down on Federal dollars keeping SC afloat.

The funny thing is none of these abortion bans or whatever have done anything to lower the rates of abortion across the country.

The rate of doctors leaving the Stare and medical students going elsewhere will multiply.

Luckily, manufacturing is returning to North America, so we’ll need cheap labor to make the little stuff we were getting from China…the Southeast can return to being the source of low-educated, low cost laborers the corporations can exploit. Just like Republican policies are working towards.

The entire argument was lost when it was framed as “ban”, “abortion”, “privacy”. The ONLY REAL issue is life. If Republicans keep allowing the discussion to be reframed, they entirely miss the point. The Constitution must uphold life.

Who receives an abortion? A pregnant woman. In that regard, what is pregnancy? Carrying a human life. What is “terminating life”?
Murder.
No matter what else is injected into the conversation, it comes down to convenience.
Murder for convenience.
So now any discussion about such murder is only a matter of justifying why one person’s convenience should ever outweigh another person’s INHERENT right to life, as guaranteed by our Constitution. Such life shall not be deprived without due process.
Abortion violates that child’s rights.
