Yeah I remember lots of parents saying we are going to have a “fetus”. Or honey the “fetus” is crying again. A shame the length some will go to dehumanize a baby.
I have seen many times families deciding do not resuscitate for their loved ones. The unfortunate part of families deciding is ,more often than not, they are reversing their mother or fathers living will.
Sit on the phones for a service like CareNet (an organization that offers alternatives to abortion. there are bunches of such organizations out there.) Just about every rep has handled calls from women who think the service provides abortions that even Planned Parenthood won’t do. “I’m in my 37th week. I broke up with my boyfriend. I don’t want this baby any more. Can you help me get a late-term abortion?”
I’m not saying that it’s the most frequent reason for late-term, but Ofirah Yheskel spoke in absolute terms, and it’s just not true.
And now you can shop around in New York, and somewhere I’m sure you can find the next Kermit Gosnell who will sign anything for the right price.
Liberals all over this board deride slippery-slope arguments, such as where legislation like NY passed might lead to. And then libs (you’re not the only one) introduce their own slippery slope suppositions like this.
Nobody has suggested that any miscarriage should be investigated.
Just like rape and robbery and assault and murder.
That’s not a reason to avoid legislating against it. I’m glad we didn’t do that as a society when it came to slavery, even though it still happens today.
And if that person performed a late term abortion when the mother’s health/life wasn’t in jeopardy or the fetus was viable, they’d be charged with homocide. Just like the bill explicitly states.
I identified it as extreme. You should have been able to discern that I was giving it as a wildly extreme example.
For the record, I consider gender-selection abortions just as cavalier. Ditto, “I just broke up with my boyfriend…” Find a doctor in NY that is willing to sign off that these threaten your health, and you can kill the child with the blessings of the State of New York.
Perhaps. Yet she said it, which indicates the mentality at play here.
Knowingly presenting extreme cases and rare cases has no bearing on those who uses the medical procedure to reduce their suffering.
If one can point to rampant abuse of using the well being clause for things like stretch marks( another thing brought up by you) then I am sure that there is adequate data to back up having an opinion because of the reality of it, not simply the rhetorical reason for it.
As stated before… the vast vast vast majority of late term abortions are performed on women who would rather have carried the baby to term.
That is a fact that cannot be gotten around.
It is a medical procedure and pointing towards a random sociopath who may or may not exist outside of internet stories does not make a good argument.
I have seen a 24 week fetus which they are now saying it is ok to abort they are literally in the area now that the baby could live out of the womb, disgusting.
