Oremoose Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I am not a texan but I want to steal their thunder... The Abortion law passed! :winner: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/10/texas-abortion-bill/2505685/ But I fear it won't be for long because courts like to say "suck it!" to legislatures. :spike: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thank goodness! Although this is good news we still have to continue to pray for the protection and respect for Life. Innocent lives are still being lost! :knight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Sad day for reproductive rights. Hopefully the Christian Right's more theocratic impulses will wane as the next generation starts to take the reigns of power. This is a disingenuous bill and will hopefully be struck down by the federal courts. The bill is designed to place completely unnecessary regulations on abortion clinics in the hope that they will become so expensive that most will shut down. Everybody here knows that. Everybody here who supports this bill is also supporting the lie which is the foundation of this bill. Every supporter here is cheering that now most of Texas' clinics will be closed. This bill isn't about sound health policy but about limiting access to abortions. So, hopefully, since this bill is a farce and a fraud it will get quickly struck down.

To Jesus Through Mary Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So awesome!! I am thrilled to see the law made it through! Small victories! Limiting access to abortions is sound health policy.

4588686 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Limiting access to abortions is sound health policy. No it isn't. Oh, wait. I'm sorry. I forgot that you get to determine policy based on the suggestions of your imaginary friend. But even if we pretend that there is a God, which there isn't, and you aren't just talking to yourself when you pray, which you are, the point about the inherent dishonesty of this bill stands. These standards are not being required in order the protect the life of the patient. They are being imposed, unnecessarily from a (reality based) health policy standpoint because you all want there to be fewer abortions. But, of course, if the courts strike down these farcical laws, you all will whine and cry that the courts are thwarting the legislative process, despite how grotesquely fraudulent that process was here.

How many miscarriages occur from either God's active or passive will in the course of a month? I bet it's a lot more than 125,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some women look :cry: because they want the baby, but their boyfriend did not. :cry: Those faces I will never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of women who have suffered the tragedy of a miscarriage and each one felt the loss of their child. So I am not sure why a tragedy of miscarriage justifies this sad reality of abortion to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 you're on the wrong side of history, Hasan. Technology is only going to get better. Not to be a jerk, but I always have to point out the irony when people who support the Human Rights Campaign don't support rights for all human beings. That must cause some serious indigestion. But you aren't alone. A lot of people throughout history have felt that only certain human beings deserve human rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amppax Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Sad day for reproductive rights. Hopefully the Christian Right's more theocratic impulses will wane as the next generation starts to take the reigns of power. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about this, but it seems clear to me that a fetus is a human life, and abortion causes the end of said human life. I don't need any friend (real or imaginary) to tell me that. I guess I just don't understand the slogan "reproductive rights." It seems just as disingenuous as this bill (I agree with you on that issue, I wish that pro-lifers didn't feel the need to be dishonest; although I don't think all being dishonest, just being misled by others).

Socrates Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks be to God! Pray that this makes it through the senate, and that federal courts actually respect the Constitution, and keep the hell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
