Everyone who voted for that bill wants to take away our (my wife’s and I’s) choice to terminate our pregnancy because it’s past a magic number of weeks and who gives a damn what the actual circumstances are. So yeah, I don’t care what your opinion of that is, not one bit.
A constructive dialogue would be possible if people were willing to talk and listen to each other. The 20 week point is when fetuses may be able to feel pain. I think circumstances do make a difference. Sadly, this all becomes a moot point. Inflicting pain and killing a life just because it is inconvenient/unwanted is what troubles me. Whatever policy views one has, I don’t know how one can’t be troubled by that.
Of course that troubles me. But the Republican Party tries to make all abortions illegal after 20 weeks, and that’s bullshit.
