				 | Republicans put out a memo to their senators advising them on how to respond.
 It says, in part, according to Axios, which obtained the memo:
 
 "Expose the Democrats for the extreme views they hold. Joe Biden and the Democrats have extreme and radical views on abortion that are outside of the mainstream of most Americans."
 I am guessing the radical view is allowing abortion at all.

				 | It has always been striking that the states most committed to ending abortion tend to invest the least in caring for expectant mothers and children after they are born.Because it’s about control

 |  wrong. 
 
the radical view, is abortion late in pregnancy.  americans don’t like that. 
 
you’re correct that there’s not a big appetite to ban abortion.   But most americans want some restrictions. Not die hard liberals though.  
 
those are facts. Americans don’t want abortion banned, but they don’t want it unlimited, either
 
You posted a photo showing countries that ban abortion ( which is never going to happen here, and you failed to mention that naturally).  
 
Dan Crenshaw posted a graphic yesterday, i have no idea if it’s correct, but it was a list of countries that allow elective late term abortions.
 
US 
China 
North Korea.
 
Now, you LOVE finding examples of individual republicans behaving horribly, and claiming all republicans are responsible for their actions. You constantly do that.
 
Will you apply that logic here?  If you judge republicans by the company they keep, will you judge democrats the same way?

Keep making things up Jim it shows how committed you are to being a conservative 
 
Late term for conservatives is 30 seconds after sex
 
Abortions late in pregnancy are rare but but conservatives what you to think otherwise.. shocking
 
Again facts aren’t your friend 
 
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1.3 percent of abortions were performed at or greater than 21 weeks of gestation in 2015. In contrast, 91.1 percent were performed at or before 13 weeks and 7.6 percent at 14 to 20 weeks.

i never said late term abortions were common.  i said liberals want them, and most americans don’t.  i’m correct.
 
abortions after rape are also rare, but the left never stops talking about that.

 |  Americans travel to China and Russia to adopt kids and have been for decades 
 
People don’t want  addicted babies when abortion was legal !  you think parents are going to want them now  from women were forced to carry the baby to term . Will little to no Prenatal Care… 
 
Oh I forgot since Amy adopted everyone should adopt , and l seriously doubt Abortion is the reason it’s hard to adopt children in the US . Or there are no children  see below
 
While technically no longer referred to as orphans, The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption pegs the number of children in U.S. foster care at a staggering 443,000, more than 123,000 of whom are considered to be waiting children available for adoption.
 
According to a report from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, “Children adopted privately from the U.S. are most likely to be white (50 percent); those adopted internationally are least likely to be white (19 percent). The majority of children adopted internationally are Asian (59 percent).”
 
I’ve said it before this is religious ruling not based on sound legal reasoning it’s just written to sound like one ..  now the right loves activist judges   |

you’re saying that the reason americans go overseas to adopt, ISN’T because there aren’t enough babies here.  It’s because the babies here, are “addicted” and are therefore of lower quality than babies that can be gotten elsewhere?
 
You will say anything?regardless of how made up it is, to  advocate for liberalism.
 
There’s a years-long waiting list to adopt babies here.  And there no large number of babies that go into orphanages or foster. 
 
babies get adopted. 
 
You don’t know anyone who has tried to adopt a baby, who you can ask, who can tell you how wrong you are?
 
You’re also obviously saying that women who have abortions are all irresponsible drug addicts who are such deadbeats that they can’t prevent their babies from being born addicted.  You’re casting people 
who get abortion, in a very very negative light.  Your pals in the left wouldn’t care for that characterization.
 
“Americans only go overseas to adopt, because the quality of babies is superior to what’s available here.”
 
Congratulations, that’s really brilliant.
 
And if more babies are born here that need some help, i’ll gladly pay higher taxes to give them what they need.
 
dave thomas data is probably correct, there are a huge number of KIDS in foster care desperate to be adopted. But they aren’t babies. They are older children.
 
Older children, sadly, have a hard time getting adopted. Babies do not.  those kids in foster care didn’t enter foster care as babies and stay there for years if they were available for adoption.  
 
you say this was a religious decision.  Prove it.  I’ve asked you 5 times to tell us where in the draft opinion, Alito was wrong on the law?
 
Just because you don’t like the decision, doesn’t mean it was incorrectly decided based in the law.

				 | Jim all but one of the 4 people I know who adopted babies went to China or Russia and all are white working class .. I also know  one who’s a nurse and adopts Aka crack babies she has foster cared for 
 And they couldn’t afford a baby period . In the USA
 
 you say this was a religious decision. Prove it
 
 So now Jim you are a believer in evidence ?  It’s odd you supported the questioning and the election laws being changed .. said it was a good thing
 
 Based solely on Trumps lies and peoples lack of Trust in Voting  Aka manufactured by the GOP and promoted via the minority  .
 
 So now people question the rational of the overturning  of Roe . And how religious feelings seem to supersede 50 years of it being law , only since the newest 3 justices got on stage ,while the Majority of Americans feel the right to an abortion should remain ..
 
 Your response is prove it because you agree with the ruling,  is the same reason you supported the voter law changes!  because you agreed with the rational not the evidence ..

 |  ok first you said babies in the usa didn’t get adopted because they were defective.  Now you’re saying babes don’t get adopted in the usa because they’re too expensive.
 
which is it?
 
it’s very difficult to get a baby here.  There are t enough of them.  Maybe less abortions helps with that.  
 
you’re correct they’re expensive.  But there’s still a long waiting list for babies. 
 
the demand for babies far  outweighs the supply.  that’s why people go offshore, which is also stupidly expensive.
 
you keep 
saying the decision to reverse is wrong, or based on religion instead of the law. but you ofer zilch for support. 
 
i’ve asked at least 5 times for you to back up your accusations. you got nothing.
 
Ruth bader ginsburg has said the scotus handles Roe incorrectly, that they went too far.  
 
We get you don’t like it.  But unfortunately for you, your wishes aren’t a basis for SCOTUS to make rulings, only the constitution.
 
what’s the minority doing?  it’s going to the states, where we all get to decide.  that’s the definition of a democratic republic.  
 
9 unelected lawyers making huge decisions, that’s the tyranny of the minority.

You go on & keep believing all that.    
Millions as you say died from Covid.    
Year in year out….. how many die from the flu ??? 
All of a sudden everyone dies of Covid but none of the flu ?
 
I’ll bet you get a hard on every time you pull into a gas station & pay $4-$5 for a gallon of gas or $6+ for diesel |

 |  For the past two years, we have been told that we must follow the science.  Much of the discussion about whether a fetus is a human being is not purely scientific.  The following is a brief "biological" synopsis of when a human being starts becoming a human being.
 
A fetus does not all of a sudden become a human being only after it leaves its mother's body.  A human being does not start becoming human or a "being" only after it is pulled from the mother's body.  A human being doesn't switch from being non-human to being human only after it is no longer in the womb.
 
A human being starts becoming human at fertilization in a woman's fallopian tube creating a zygote.
 
The zygote is a biological "being."  It is human by virtue of its human DNA--the same DNA that the "born" baby and developing adult that derives from a zygote will have for its entire life. (Not the same genetic code as the mother, but a unique DNA).
 
The zygote is an organism of the human species (Homo Sapiens).  It is a human organism.  It is alive--a living human organism.  An organism is a "being."  The zygote is therefor a living human being.  It is the same organism as the grown adult, but at an earlier stage of life.  
 
The next step in the stages of human life is the zygote developing into an embryo.  The next is the embryo becoming a fetus.  The next stage, as we all know, is being "born"--detached from the mother's body--a baby with the same distinct DNA as the zygote which was the first stage of its existence as a human being.  A baby that is nearly exactly  the same human organism that was in its mother's body before it was removed and "born."
 
From the "baby" stage, the human being keeps developing into childhood, adolescence, stages of adulthood until the mid twenties when the human body stops developing and begins a long path into senescence.
 
At no stage, other than DNA, does the human body remain exactly the same.  It constantly changes from beginning to end.  To claim that some midpoint time in a life is the point at which that life becomes human is not biologically scientific.  It begins as a living human from conception (fertilization) and stays so until death.
 
Some biological (rather than philosophical, religious, ethicl, political) perspective articles:

To be clear, I am not taking an absolute political, legal, or religious stand on abortion.  But whatever arguments are made pro or con should at least consider whether a fetus is a human being, or not.  A scientifically neutral definition can ground a basis for which legalities, moralities, values, ethics, philosophies can have at it. |

				 | Other than the religious, the other question is "when is it ok to impose  involuntary servitude and dispense with any claim to  bodily autonomy?"
 The answer to that is essentially never. If the state can discard an individual's bodily autonomy, no other rights will survive.
 No person though is entitled to another person's organs without their consent. Most parents give their lives to save their child. The government can't mandate you do so though. I'm not entitled to my genetic match's kidney even though I'll die without it.
 A fetus, even if it was a human life, has no inherent right to live off the flesh of its parent. A parent may allow a fetus to live off its flesh, but the fetus doesn't have an inherent right to do so.

 |  it’s laughable to say that conservatives are the ones that want more government control.  on some specific issues, yes. in general, obviously not.

 I’ll bet you get a hard on every time you pull into a gas station & pay $4-$5 for a gallon of gas or $6+ for diesel
 |    53 thousand  die from the flu years on avg in the US 
 
And the global market sets oil and gas prices !

Yes Jim seems the things they want to control tend to involve individual freedoms and not to expand them but to limit them .. unless it’s a gun
 
And all those nurse firemen and police who didn’t get the shot . And I know a few they had a choice the same choice you find acceptable with women who want an abortion 
 
MOVE to a state that allows it ..
